Healthy Kids Snacks

Toddlers and their eating habits!

Ahhh!

And I thought feeding a baby was tough work!

Wells has gotten really into looking in the fridge and choosing her own snacks. 

I'm totally okay with this. 

We all eat healthier now that our little bug is watching and mimicking, so there is no food that's off limits in our house to her.

{except mommy's special "tea" aka wine}

I make sure all of her choices are already washed and cut up in Tupperware just waiting for her to eat them.

This only takes an extra five or ten minutes when I unpack groceries and saves so much time and sanity for days to come.

The downfall is that this creates problems when we're on the go and she decides she doesn't like the particular snack I've brought.

So I recently started making my own homemade little "luncheable" style snack packs full of healthy choices.  So far she doesn't mind that everything is touching and this way she can still choose when we're at the park or out running errands.  I just pass her the whole box and she makes her selection.  I no longer need to lug around six different Tupperware containers every time we leave the house.

Problem solved!
Obviously the contents of the snack packs change with our groceries but grapes, green beans, cherry tomatoes, cheese and yogurt are staples that are always available.

Anyone else have any snack or meal tricks they'd like to pass along?

This doesn't have to just be for kids you know!
I seriously find myself filling these with a little more than Wells can eat alone so I know I always have a quick healthy bite on the go too.
