15+ healthy toddler snacks you'll actually want to make

Before becoming a mother, I knew nutrition would be a top priority—but I didn’t realize just how much it would matter. My 18-month-old daughter, Olive, snacks constantly throughout the day. The biggest challenge has been finding simple, healthy snacks to feed her. Most snacks marketed for kids are loaded with ingredients I wouldn’t dream of giving her, like artificial food dyes, inflammatory oils, fillers, and additives.

So I wrote this for all the other moms or caretakers that want to feed their children wholesome food without spending your whole day in the kitchen. I’ve got you covered with simple, unprocessed snack ideas that are quick, easy, and won’t leave you regretting the mess!

Here’s what you’ll find in todays piece!

• No-brainer snacks: Super fast snacks like mini fruit smoothies, avocado bites, or soft-boiled eggs (because we don’t always have time for “Pinterest-worthy”).

• Minimal prep snacks: Snacks like frozen banana peanut butter bites or steamed fruit that feel fancy but take zero brainpower (and you can make it into a fun activity with the kiddo).

• A little more effort snacks: Banana oat bites and sweet potato fries—because sometimes, a tiny bit of extra work pays off & can be great for meal prep!

• Store-bought options: A few healthier packaged snacks for when life is too much (yup, I always have these options on hand)
