Toddlers and Kids + Snacks=Normal. Mini meals, and/or snacks are often what makes up a food prymid for a Child, and I have made it my mission to help guide my kids toward healthy "on the go" snacks, that are not full of preservatives, sugars, or fillers... So Here you go! You can do it too!

TIP: Try putting several snacks into a sectioned container, like a muffin tin, and leaving it on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator for kids to help themselves throughout the day! My kids have always had a "snack" drawer, stocked with Organic Applesauce, Oat bars, dried fruit, veggie crisps,nut mixes ( like trail mix) etc. I toss an occasional "treat" like fruit snacks, goldfish, or cookies in , but since it is not "forbidden"and within their reach, they often leave those "speacial" snacks, and go for what they are used to!
Here is a list of quick "on the go" snacks that are ready, or can be ready in a jiffy. Kid tested and approved from my 1 and 3 year old boys:

Almonds (for younger tots you can buy skinless which are easier to chew)
Applesauce
Apple wedges with peanut butter, yogurt, or fruit dip
Avocado chunks
Carrot sticks with peanut butter
Celery with peanut butter (or cream cheese) & raisins
