Snacks for toddler and snacks for the nappy bag.

[Salad]

Hi guys, I know this has probably been asked 100 times but I thought I would refresh the topic as I am sure there are some people out there with some fresh ideas.
I am after some snack ideas for my 18month old DD, I need things that are easy to pre make or are pre prepared so to speak that I can grab quickly because when she wants a snack she wants it right now. Also when we go shopping etc we have half an hour to travel so I make sure I take all our food/snacks/drinks with us.

The snacks I currently have available are:

Cheese sticks
Squeezie Yohgurt
Banana (she cannot have very much fruit and we are still trialing which ones she can and cant tolerate)
Arrowroot biscuits
Ajitas vege chips (no colours falvour preservatives etc)
Jatz crackers
Mini banana muffins
Sandwhiches
White marshamallow as a treat or milky way

I guess I am mainly after stuff that I can take out shopping and in the car etc, she cannot have sultanas or dried apricots, I try my best to steer away from things with the nasty numbers in it.

Nutra Grain or Cheerios..my boys love to snack on these without milk. Any cereal really.
Healtheries have a good range of Rice sticks, rice wheels, and rice rounds. Have a look at the packets as different flavours have different ingredients.
Popcorn
IXL also have a pretty good treat range of things like naughts and crossess...all apparently healthy treats. I keep these as my 'Happy Snacks'.

i was going to say cheerios too, otherwise the healthfood section have similar ones too, not as nice but my DD2 likes them, i find a snack trap great for cheerios (google it)

My DD absolutely LOVES puffed corn! I get it from the health food section at Safeway, it has nothing added to it at all so I don't feel bad if she eats a container of it when we are out. We call it popcorn and she thinks it is a great treat :-D
Actually I get lots of things from the helath food section as easy to pack snacks, another favourite of DD's is the little packets of Boost fruit balls. Oh yeah and the Rice Rounds biscuits.

I make little pikelets and freeze in zip lock bags in batches of 4. Just grab them on my way out the door and they're defrosted by the time he wants to eat them. Super cheap if you make yourself or you can buy "pikelet bites" at the supermarket.
