Healthy Baby/Toddler Snacks On-the-Go

My son is the king of snacking.  He asks for crackers literally all day long and I’m really not a fan of just handing him Goldfish to gobble every day.  So I have found some other great munchies that fall into the very healthy category (as healthy as a processed snack can get anyway)!   Here are some of our favs:

Plum Organics Fiddlesticks

These organic fruit and grain snack sticks come in three flavors: berry, apple carrot, and banana.  They are gluten-free (but do contain milk and eggs), made with 100% organic fruits, baked with real fruits and veggies, and they are even made with BPA free packaging.  The first four ingredients in every package are organic brown rice flour, organic tapioca flour, organic garbanzo bean,  and flour.  They do contain organic evaporated cane juice but there is no plain sugar in them and there is only 2g of sugar per serving.  It’s hard to find a snack with that low of a sugar content that still tasted good!

Beechnut Let’s Grow 7 Grain Nibblers

These come in two flavors – mixed vegetable and sweet potato.  They are similar looking to rice cakes and dissolve very easily in baby’s mouth.  These are actually made with whole grains and have no added refined sugar, salt, artificial preservatives, or colors and flavors.    The ingredient list on these are fabulous!  Multigrain bits (whole grain corn, amaranth seeds, rice flour, whole grain wheat flour, whole grain oats, dehydrated cane juice, tricalcium phosphate) dried sweet potatoes, sunflower oil, millet, and quinoa.  Almost all things I try to feed my son but he doesn’t like on their own.  And less than 1 gram of sugar per serving!

Happy Baby Organic Puffs and Melts

Happy Baby puffs are organic melt-in-your-mouth whole grain snacks for babies.  They come in apple, banana, and green veggie flavor.  My baby LOVED the taste of these, but I love that they have 1/2 the sugar of the leading brands puffs, they are fortified with vitamins and minerals, they are made with whole grains, they are sweetened with fruit juice, and they are made with 100% organic ingredients.

Happy Baby Melts are the only organic freeze dried yogurt snack on the market for babies and toddlers. And it's the only baby food with prebiotics and probiotics.  They are gluten, soy, and wheat free and contain absolutely NO preservatives.  Good stuff for baby’s tummy!
