Like g&t my only contribution is popcorn, Xanda loves it, I get the bags with 12 little packets in from the supermarket, they are flavoured. Or I will make him some home made stuff and just package it into little bags, they last a week.]]> Sat, 14 Jul 2007 12:24:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=179819&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#179819 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=176859&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#176859 Author: Kazzle

they are called wheelies, and rhiannon really likes them too, great for an afternoon snack, and i have to leave them in the packet for her, only tried them the other day, the bbq ones.

I like the big ones, but so does Rhiannon.

Thanks for all your suggestion guys, we now have a range of stuff for her.

Hummus, rice crackers, wheelies, museli bars, fruit, cheese.

I have also noticed that becasue i am a snacker that Rhiannon wants to eat when i do, and if she doesnt see me eating then she doesnt want anything till its the actually time to have the meal.

So in a way its good, cos its making me eat less, and watch what im eating.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2007 07:32:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=176859&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#176859 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=176783&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#176783 Author: fattartsrock

snap what annie said about the platter - basically Joey gets a wee bit of whatever we have in the house

He loves hummus too - this is easy to make if you don't want to spend heaps at the supermarket.

I made my own muesli bars once they were delicious but the ingredients were so bloomin' (hehehe) expensive I've gone back to buying those Mother Earth fruit roll bar thingies for Joey, a box lasts about 2 weeks as he doesn't get one every day and he LOVES them!]]> Tue, 10 Jul 2007 08:00:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=176180&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#176180 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=176046&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#176046 Author: fattartsrock

Baby food and beyone by simon and Alison holst is FANTASTIC and $18 at the shops, but I could get you one for $12 (our Parent centre sells them as fundraiser)

Jake LOVES Rice crackers and will choose them over choc bikkies or chips everytime, and he LOVES hummus as well, the pumpkin and kumera is a fave with him.

WE pretty much just do fruit peices, rice crackers, mini wine bikkies as a treat. I make a wee "platter" for him most days at morning and afternoon tea, mandarin segments, kiwifruit, garpes, ricecrackers and raisins andhe just snacks as he wants.]]> Mon, 09 Jul 2007 20:07:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=176046&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#176046 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=175816&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#175816 Author: bookwyrm

energy bars (from the healthy steps diary by sanitarium)

125g margerine
1/2c honey
1/2c sugar
melt this and boil in suacepan for five minutes

4c ricies
1/2c chopped dried apricots (i used raisins instead - still good)
1/2c sunflower seeds
1/2c pumpkin seeds
1/2c sesame seeds (i omited this - forgot to buy at supermarket)

mix these ingrediants together and pour over honey mixture. mix together and press into tin. it says this makes 18 bars, but we cut them into small bite sized pieces and made almost 40 I think!


Muesli and apricot bars
not sure on the taste of these as I can't eat peanuts but everyone seemed to like them
1c ricies
4 wqeetbix - crushed
1 cup rolled oats
2/3 c dired apricots, chopped (forgot these - used raisins)
1/2c coconut
mix these

1/2 cup raw sugar (i used normal)
1/2 c honey
1/2 crunchy peanut butter (I used smnooth)
125g margarine
put in saucepan and boiul for five minutes - pour over ricies mix. mix well and press into tin. this says it makes 20 bars and we made double that almost by cutting them into toddler sized pieces. apparently nice but we have to keep ours in the fridge because of ants, which makes them extra chewy.]]> Sun, 01 Jul 2007 14:05:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=170390&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#170390 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=168910&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#168910 Author: lizzle

Kazzle, I found a recipe for home-made muesli bars. Made them for the kids and they LOVE them. i cut them up small so although there is a bit of sugar in them, it's not an obscene size. I'm off to playcentre now but will post you the recipes later this afternoon - BTW both recipes are REALLY easy and toddler-help-friendly too.]]> Fri, 29 Jun 2007 08:51:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=168910&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#168910 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=168814&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#168814 Author: busymum

How about pita bread cut into triangles with hummus.

My hubby loves to make our kids healthy snacks, celery sticks & carrot sticks with a cheese sauce - yum!

Olives? So many kids I know LOVE olives! I hate them myself.

Corn chips with salsa.

Hmm that's all I can think of for now ]]> Thu, 28 Jun 2007 21:55:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=168807&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#168807 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=163316&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#163316 Author: MyBelly

I give izobel mouse traps, (just toast with marmite and grated cheese on top and grilled for a till cheese is melted) and she loves them!

how about vege slices, like carrot slices, or bits of cauliflower and brocolli etc, i give izobel them with a bit of dip, it entertains her because she gets to dip the veges herself, gives me 10mins to clean, ok she gets dirty, but she loves it!]]> Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:46:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=163316&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#163316 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=163305&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#163305 Author: Kazzle

okay im stuggling to find healthy snacks to give rhiannon, especially since im trying to stay away from museli bars etc.

i have started to make my own biscuits as i know whats going in them,

she gets lots of fruit, sandwiches, raisins and dried apricots (although not too many as i know they are bad for her teeth), i make muffins and freeze them,

cheese singles and crackers but what else can i give her]]> Tue, 19 Jun 2007 14:24:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8383&PID=163305&title=healthy-snacks-for-toddlers#163305
