TODDLER LUNCH IDEAS
/
My child can eat. It's amazing to me how much one tiny little body can put away.
Sharing a list of healthy snacks and lunch ideas, mostly for me for when I need to shake things up, and also in case it helps someone else who's looking for something new to try. This list is not revolutionary by any means - we keep toddler food pretty simple around here - but I like having it all in one place that I can refer back to when I need new ideas. Feel free to share your own in the comments!
TODDLER LUNCH IDEAS
-sliced turkey
-chicken apple sausage (Be very careful with sausages and hotdogs - Trey loves them but they can be a choking hazard. You know your child best if they're ready for chewing them, and always watch your child very carefully while eating.)
-chicken
-beans and rice
-tofu (totally serious if you have an adventurous eater - we get the extra firm kind, slice it and grill it and so far Trey thinks it's great)
-pesto pasta
-greek yogurt
-beans (all kinds)
-lentils
-cheddar (grass fed at TJs)
-fruits - any kind: fresh, dried, frozen, etc. Bananas, apples, berries, stone fruits, cuties, grapes (halved with a knife or scissors), figs, etc.
-applesauce packets
-veggies (peas, corn, tomatoes, avocado, etc.)
-hummus
-quesadillas/grilled cheese
-cheesy quinoa
-PB & J sandwiches
-frozen mini pizzas
-pretzels, crackers, cheerios, granola bars, etc.
When we pack a picnic I use the Zoli Lunch Kit, it comes with a layered snack container and a thermos for hot or cold items.
Trey's favorite water bottles and sippy cups are by Zoli. I really like the straw kind. Be sure to get the replacement straws as they can wear out after a few months of use.
If you'd like to share, let me know your go-to toddler snacks and lunches in the comments. I always love hearing new ideas.
