Snacks! Any homemade recommendations for some tasty snacks suitable for a 3 year old? We’re getting quite tired of fruit, yogurt, carrot & celery, muesli bars, sultanas…. Any other (healthy) ideas?
- Banana muffins are a hit in our house( i freeze them then take one each out in the morning and they are ready for morning tea) plus i keep sakatas in the lttle little clip lock containers for a quick snack as well as nuts, cheese and cherry tomatoes, and strawberries ( my kids are snackers wont eat big meals) so there’s no hassles when they ask for food all day long.

- Pikelets (flour, milk, egg), hummus and crackers, scones. Kate
- Homemade pita chips (Lebanese or pita bread grilled in the oven for a few minutes then broken up) with avocado and tomato cut up into a chunky salsa with some cheese. I also do quesadillas with these ingredients. Jackie

- I make my daughter mini muffins with chopped/grated fruit or veggies in them – she loves them, and you know exactly what’s going in them. She also loves cheese cubes with sliced ham as a snack, as well as warmed baked beans. Hayley
