Snack Ideas for 2 year old

[Anonymous]

I am looking for simple snack ideas for my 2 y.o.
She has never been a great eater, more delayed in her transition progress from food to food, and finds it hard to break down breaded things and even skinny apple slices and cheese.

Any good snacks in addition to what she goes for now:
Raisins/Bananas/Dole Fruit Cups (peaches)
Kix/Cheerios/Crispix
Goldfish/Peanut Butter Crackers/Annie's Bunny Crackers/Pirate Bootie Puffs
Peanut Butter Balls (peanut butter/honey/dried milk)

Thanks

hummus roll ups
hummus crackers
hummus bread (you get the drift)
ricotto cheese on something she likes
cottage cheese and jelly (she can practice with her spoon!)

We mostly do fruit and cheese for snacks, but my son likes all of these things as well.

Organic fruit leather
Craisins
Yogurt covered raisins
Granola bars
Popcorn
Veggie Sticks (Trader Joes/They are like crackers)

tortillas in the toaster oven with cheese and black beans

raisins, craisins, different cereals in a baggie that she can carry

cucumber slices, red, yellow and green pepper slices

cut up apples oranges pears bananas grapes--basically all fruit, cut to bite size or hand-holding size

Any frozen veggies, microwaved for a few minutes (broccoli, green beans, mixed veggies, snow peas, etc)

My son loves to eat, but has a new love of pizza, burgers and french fries though!!! I'm trying to limit these

also try all kinds of crackers: Carrs, Triscuits, etc.

I make banana bread (using whole wheat flour, flaxseed, honey and blackstrap molassas), cut it into slices and freeze them. I can pop a slice in the microwave for 10 seconds and it's ready. I also put them in muffin tins because muffins are a nice treat.

If ur picky eater needs to keep the pounds on like my on-the-small-side son does - I love the Cinnamon Raisin bread at Costco. Each slice is a whopping 190 calories and lots of vitamins. I add a smear of whole real butter and cut into small chunks or when he was little older I did it in strips so he could hold onto it.

Great for cutting up and putting in a ziploc in the diaper bag.
