9 Easy, No-Fuss Snack Ideas for Toddlers

Toast an English muffin and give it a protein boost with a little melted cheese. Add diced tomatoes for a pop of color and a healthy dose of vitamin C. Cut into "fingers" to make it easier for toddlers to hold and feed themselves.

Add a handful of anti-oxidant rich fresh berries to a tiny bowl of cottage cheese. If your toddler isn't a fan of cottage cheese, try gently crushing in the berries, letting their juices add more flavor.

Any deli meat makes a simple wrapper for thick slices of cheese. Add a dot of mustard inside for even more flavor. Cut a slice of deli meat in half lengthwise before wrapping so your wrap doesn't get too bulky for tiny teeth.

Peeled, diced cucumbers pair perfectly with frozen peas (thawed in warm water for a few minutes ahead of time.) Bonus, this combination is great for toddlers to practice their pincher moves.

Layer fresh or frozen fruit with plain yogurt for a simple way to add flavor without the added sugar found in store bought varieties.

Mash ripe bananas with fresh avocado for an omega-3 rich spread toddlers can eat (or, let's be honest, lick off of) whole-wheat toast.

Filling an ice cube tray with a dozen options is a fun way for little ones to pick and choose their (current) favorites, especially for picky eaters or teething toddlers. Pictured here: Red bell peppers, "puffs," grapes, cereal, blueberries, cucumbers, ham, peaches, kiwi, shredded cheese, peas, cereal squares, strawberry, bananas, cherry tomatoes and pretzels.

Got ripe bananas? Mash two bananas along with 1 cup of whole oats and 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Smooth the mixture into an 8 x 8 pan (add chopped peanuts if you like) and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes.
