I buy a case of individual packs at Costco. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2331299 Fri, 23 Oct 2015 08:44:05 +0000 Rocker2014 2331299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Tanjowen: It varies, but I find that the boxed Aunt Jemima brand mix holds together much better than any I make from scratch when freezing and re-thawing. They don't come out mushy or deflated after microwaving! I sometimes add a little vanilla extract or cinnamon for added yumminess.</p> <p>I also like to slice bananas and dip them in the batter, and then cook like usual. E loves these, but they can be messy when microwaved after being frozen so not the best thing for on the go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2331009 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 22:23:57 +0000 Mrs. Bee 2331009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>olive loooooves tofu. like seriously could eat an entire container by herself. add some sesame oil and soy sauce to it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330991 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 21:43:06 +0000 twodoghouse 2330991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Ha, that's certainly true! My dog is a pretty efficient pea picker upper. But at least they don't stain clothes like blackberries, which is what my LOs would really like to beating all the time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330982 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 21:33:29 +0000 Foodnerd81 2330982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: peas are mess free until they get knocked off the tray and bounce Everywhere. I have found them several feet from the high chair. But yes my LO likes them too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330965 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 21:15:15 +0000 twodoghouse 2330965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I heat up frozen peas to room temp in the microwave and my kids eat them like they're candy. They're relatively mess free and obviously pretty healthy. It makes me feel less guilty about all the goldfish they also eat. 😃 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330940 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:50:48 +0000 MenagerieMama 2330940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: I do this for breakfast! She eats them every day she doesn't have breakfast at daycare, never thought about them for snacks. I make them with leftover baby oatmeal cereal (bought too many and barely fed her any as just oatmeal!), bananas and some of my freezer stash that's a little too old for bottles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330936 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:44:54 +0000 Tanjowen 2330936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rocker2014: What recipe do you use? I'm interested in the pancake to go option! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330933 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:40:09 +0000 Rocker2014 2330933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO eats a lot of pancakes, she loves them! I make a big batch and freeze them, 30 seconds in the microwave and you're all set. Since they are flat, I just throw them in a sandwich bag and don't have to worry about them getting squashed in the diaper bag. Once she figures out what syrup is I'm screwed, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330932 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:38:03 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2330932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Grapes/fishies/cheese are the most common snacks for my 1.5 year old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330923 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:26:15 +0000 MenagerieMama 2330923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: chedder bunnies! good idea, that seems like a less guilt version of gold fish.<br /> @MrsSRS: luckily between LO still nursing a lot and her love for fruit, she can eat a whole banana and cheese stick in a day and it just gives her normal poops! which makes this CD mama happy, haha. I'll have to watch out when she's less of a boobaholic I think. Though I also have to bribe her with raisins to change her diaper so that helps too as she gets a regular ration.<br /> @Tanjowen: I did buy her organic Os the other day (Kashi I think) though I realized they're not iron fortified like regular cheerios, which is a bummer. So I think I'm mixing them half/half to even it out ;) PB to go is brilliant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330916 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:20:42 +0000 Tanjowen 2330916@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We buy the Toasted O's in the organic section, which are basically sugar free Cheerios. Makes me feel better since he eats so many :silly: </p> <p>- Cheddar Bunnies<br /> - Bananas<br /> - Applesauce (I keep a spoon in the diaper bag)<br /> - Pretzel sticks with those jiffy-to-go peanut butter cups </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330913 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:19:34 +0000 Mae 2330913@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I know she's a bit old for them but I still feed my lo melts every day at 17 mo! She loves them and they are decently healthy and they are easy. Otherwise we do pouches, yogurt squeezers, cheese sticks, Annie's cheddar bunnies, oyster crackers, inner peas (trader joes), Apple sticks (trader joes) or fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330896 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:11:09 +0000 Foodnerd81 2330896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do Cheerios and raisins a lot, in the snack catcher. I read somewhere it's good to pair raisins with something crunchy so they don't stick in their teeth. </p> <p>Cheese sticks<br /> Goldfish or cheddar bunnies<br /> Apple slices<br /> Fruit bars (like nutrigrain, or these organic fig bars from Costco that are less messy)<br /> Bananas<br /> Other fruit but it's more prep (slicing all the grapes, peeling oranges) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330890 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:09:22 +0000 Mamasig 2330890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fruit like bananas, grapes, tangerines, etc<br /> Yogurt<br /> Graham crackers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330875 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 20:00:18 +0000 MrsSRS 2330875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: but (tmi) pair those suckers with raisins not cheese or bananas so you don't end up dealing with constipation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330871 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 19:57:47 +0000 MenagerieMama 2330871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: Oh man, LO loves cherry tomatoes! I forgot about those. Also cucumber slices, but they have to be drenched in red wine vinegar, ha!<br /> @MrsSRS: I like the rice cakes idea! I think I feel guilty giving her crackers and things, but I should just find the low sodium ones and get over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330862 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 19:53:51 +0000 MrsSRS 2330862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretzels, Greek yogurt, hummus, bananas, rice cakes, dried or freeze dried fruit </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330853 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 19:50:35 +0000 travellingbee 2330853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>grapes, cherry tomatoes, goldfish crackers or Pirates booty (not healthy per se but not terrible), raisins</p> <p>Oh you said raisins :) LO likes yogurt covered raisins </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/easy-go-to-snacks-for-toddlers#post-2330843 Thu, 22 Oct 2015 19:47:40 +0000 MenagerieMama 2330843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 13 mo and I need snack ideas! I'm looking for things that take no prep (my pinterest motivations/time are few and far between) and are decently healthy. LO is very fickle about whether she'll eat a pouch or not so that doesn't even always work well. These are our main go-tos:<br /> - cheerios (I'm seriously embarrassed about how many she eats on a daily basis, tell me I'm not the only one!)<br /> - raisins<br /> - cheese sticks </p>
