Yoghurt? roasted veg sticks with cumin? cucumber slices? Craisins? Turkish bead with hommus? I often just give j the end slice of bread, keeps him happy. Or a 9 grain vitaweat, or even a plain, dry weetbix to munch on. Makes an amazing mess, but he likes it. You'd be surprised what makes them happy
Jasmine loves yoghurt over chopped fruit, custard over fruit too. She also likes a platter with ham, cheese, fruit. Tortillas with cheese and morrocan spice mix grilled ( mummy likes these too). Savoury scones or muffins. Saladas or jatz with cheese and veg or tomato and cheese. Baked beans. Scrambled eggs with lots of veg in it. Low fat dip and rice crackers. Cold veggie fritters
My dd favourite snack is a piece of fruit and a banana smoothie (banana, yogurt and milk), fills her up for ages
Air popped pop corn - DD1 loves it, no added salt etc - really good for you!
Home cooked stuff is always better - like scones, pikelets, fruit kebabs. Frozen bananas/yoghurt with paddlepop sticks. Jelly cups with fruit.
I just read somewhere that someone drained a can of chick peas, put seasoning on it (I think they sprayed them with olive oil and put a small amount of curry seasoning mild with some salt and pepper) and roasted them until they were toasted. Let them cool so they are nicy and crunchy. Something a bit different.
I often take pita bread and cut it up and spray with olive oil and sprinkle some salt on it and roast it so its like chips and call it chips for the girls We dip it in hummous in our house...
decor make a great little bento type box. It is one container with 4 compartments.
We often take our 'picnic plate' as Darcy calls it. She has something different in each compartment and feels grown up choosing what she wants.
I pretty much use all of the above suggestions with the inclusion of cold meat pieces and cherry tomatoes, cheerios and sangers cut out with cookie cutters (cool shapes plus they fit more neatly).
*** Mini savoury muffins *** (nice & soft to nibble on too )
Mix in bowl together ;
1 cup of SR flour
1 cup of grated cheese (i sometimes use light cheese)
1 cup of milk
and about 1 Cup or tad more of whatever chopped up vegies (brocolli, capsicum, onion, grated carrot, ...even frozen corn kernels & sometimes i might add a minced clove of garlic).
Makes approx 18-20 mini muffins.
Pop into greased (i spray canola oil) mini muffin tray (fill heaped to the top), bake mod oven (i bake 180) for about 20mins, or until a bit golden on top.
My DD has loved these since she was 2 & is now 3 and still likes 'em
i thought i would share ones my DD loves lol (she is a bit strange with 'fav foods lol)
SHe loves
mushrooms (raw as is).
butter beans - i swear she will eat a whole can if you let her!
cheese (she too would eat this all day but i dont like her to have too much)
yogurts
i think i just need to get off my bottom and make a few things in advance... might do that this weekend while dh is home. i wonder how long these stay ok for int he fridge?
DS gets yogurt, fruit slices, rice cakes, anything I have baked recently (scones, biscuits), pita and hummus, loves, frozen veg sticks on a hot day, toast and avocado etc. Pretty much anything I eat but we really limit the amount of sugar and salt he gets.
