Meal Plan Madness: Easy Healthy Snacks for Toddlers {or yourself}

I have a picky, junk food loving toddler on my hands! Some days I wonder if kids really can survive on milk and popcorn. Then there are days he will sit and eat everything I put in front of him, bring me a bag of baby carrots to open for him, and finish all his yogurt without smearing it all over the table and himself. 

I have found that having plenty of GOOD options for him on hand and accessible to him has helped a TON. I let him choose his snacks and usually his lunch as well. This eliminates fights and helps him WANT to eat what I give him because HE picked it.


Prepping our meals and snacks has also allowed for quick, easy meal times so we can eat together. Instead of making him a pot of mac and cheese every day and then having to make my own lunch in addition to that- both our meals are prepped and can be made in minutes.

Some of our favorite meals are:

• Mac and cheese with fruit
• Grilled Cheese and chicken soup
• PB & J and baby carrots
• Quesadilla, yogurt, and fruit
• Rotoni Pasta with olive oil and baby carrots

Brands and types of food we use:

• Annie's Mac and Cheese
• Killer Dave's Bread (21 whole grains is our fav)
• Adam's PB
• Homemade, low sugar peach jam
• Whole wheat pasta
• Whole wheat tortilla's
• Tillamock cheese 
• Homemade soups

Here's a video showing our favorites and how I meal prep for my toddler!
