Everything about becoming a Mom is both beautiful and challenging. Often at the same time. And one of the biggest challenges I’ve faced in this early toddler stage is finding nutrient-dense snacks that aren’t super processed but that Owen will actually eat. So for any Mamas struggling with this too, here’s a guide of what’s working for us now… My Toddler’s Favorite Snacks (18+ Months) 1 Coconut Yogurt Bark. This has been trending a lot on TikTok and is a great, cooling summer snack. Feel free to use coconut or regular yogurt. I just spread it onto a tray with parchment paper and dot it with yummy bites like freeze-dried or fresh fruit, chia seeds, honey or even chopped nuts. Freeze for an hour then break up to serve. 2 Collagen Fruit Smoothies. Another great summer snack, I take @perfectsupplements grassfed collagen, a milk of choice (we prefer raw milk), a banana, some strawberries or blueberries and some chia or flax seeds. Blend and serve for a sweet snack that’s still full of protein. Add coconut oil or a nut butter for added fat if desired. 3 Tart Cherry Gummies. I make these with molds at home to cut down on the sugar and ingredients. Just tart Cherry juice and grassfed gelatin. I make a big batch every few days and give these to Owen when he needs a quick snack full of amino acids and glycine. 4 Seaweed Nori Sheets. A great crunchy way to sneak in extra greens into your toddlers dirt. I carry these in my diaper bag everywhere for a quick, compact snack. 5 Lesser Evil Lil Puffs. We alternate between these and the @serenitykids puffs. Both are made from cassava flour so are gluten-free with some vegetables thrown into the mix. Expensive (considering how quickly Owen wolfs these down) but delicious and fun for him to eat. 6 Salmon Fish Roe (Ikura). This was one of Owen’s first foods (as recommended by @westonaprice) and still one of his favorites. It’s a quick, easy way for me to pack extra omegas into his day!
