What (healthy, vegetarian) snacks do toddlers love? Suggestions, please!
Our kid just turned one year old, and we need quick food to placate her while preparing a real meal, and snacks while traveling to the next meal.
She does not love cheerios. Banana spears and apple slices are sometimes popular, and sometimes thrown some distance. Bread (whole grain) has been the biggest hit, sometimes with almond butter but often she'll chew on it indefinitely even when plain.
@skyfaller for our (now 16yo) kiddo, when he was that age, it was a lot of cucumbers because that’s what he would eat. He liked those veggie straws at school, but he’d never eat them with us. The fruit sauce pouches were usually a hit, until they weren’t. Oh, he also was very into plain tofu cubes at that age. It was one of few proteins he would eat. Toddler food preferences are a constantly changing puzzle.
@skyfaller Our kid loves cucumber and olives as snacks, also cheese
@ackthrice I've been worried that cheese might be too salty, but I'm also worried about yogurt with added sugar, and I guess there's a lot to worry about but giving her variety is good.

@skyfaller if I don’t have anything sliced to hand my kid has always really loved Once Upon A Farm’s tractor wheel bars! They’re pretty minimal ingredients-wise for a packaged snack
