Snacking Tips

Your toddler has a small stomach capacity – so small nutritious snacks eaten between meals will keep her well fuelled for her growth and development.  Snacks are also a great way to help ensure your toddler is getting a balanced, healthy diet. 
 

Tips

  • Try to serve snacks that might be missed at meals – such as fruit and vegetables. 
  • The best snacks are small in size, nutritious and chosen from within the 4 food groups. 
  • Serve snacks 1 - 2 hours before meal times to avoid spoiling your child's appetite.
 

 

Some snack suggestions include:

  • diced fruit with vanilla yogurt as a dip
  • a fruit smoothie
  • whole grain crackers and cheese
  • yogurt or whole milk
  • whole grain muffin
  • cut-up vegetables (such as mini carrots cut into narrow strips with dip or cottage cheese)
  • applesauce or other fruit purees
  • fruit cups
  • cookies such as graham cookies, animal crackers or social teas
  • whole grain cereal (dry or with whole milk)
  • hummus with whole grain crackers or cut-up vegetables
  • hard boiled or deviled eggs
  • 1 serving of Enfagrow®
