Snack is everyone’s favorite part of the day! Personally, I like it better than nap time! By now your child is probably getting sick of Cheerios, Goldfish, cheese sticks, and apple slices. Here are 8 new snack recipes that are sure to stimulate your child’s taste buds!

1. Homemade Hummus– With 7 grams of protein per serving, both you and your toddler can feel good about this snack!

2. Homemade Applesauce– Toddlers love applesauce but it often comes with a lot of added sugars. Making it yourself ensures there is no sugar added!

3. Slow Cooker Baked Apples– Life with a toddler doesn’t give you much extra time. That’s why these slow cooker apples are perfect for busy schedules, requiring only 15 minutes of prep time!

4. Grilled Peaches And Cherries– These are quick and easy and will provide your toddler with a healthier option at your next BBQ!

5. Watermelon Fruit Pizza– Help your child decorate their own watermelon pizza! Using Greek yogurt as the “sauce,” let them stick on whatever other fruit they like! Get them to use a variety of fruit by having a contest on who can make the most colorful pizza!

6. Grilled Watermelon Wedges– Give your child’s taste buds a treat by grilling the watermelon to intensify it’s sweetness!

7. Black Bean Hummus– The already healthy classic just got even healthier! The black beans used to flavor this dish will add fiber to your child’s diet.

8. Plum Bran Muffins– At less than 100 calories per serving, this are the perfect healthy snack to stick in your diaper bag!
