What snacks do you give your preschooler?

[Imthekingsmummy]

My DS has got such a sweet tooth and asks for chocolate everyday. I don't want him to have chocolate everyday but I'd like another sweet option.
He has fruit and yoghurts but I find he's constantly hungry in the morning.
What other snacks can you recommend please?

Homemade muffins or flapjacks are pretty easy and you can limit the amount of sugar in them.

English muffins, pancakes, rice cakes or crumpets with cream cheese/peanut butter,

veg/breadsticks sticks with hummus or cream cheese

cheese/cheese strings/babybel with fruit or crudités

The What Mummy Makes book and Little Veggie Eats book are great for ideas for easy snacks to make

DD is nearly 2½ and has any of these

• Cheese - especially likes babybel and red Leicester
• Crackers, rice cakes, corn cake etc - eithe plain, or with butter or nut butter
• Veggies: Olives, Carrot sticks, celery, cherry toms, cucumber, gherkins, beetroot, artichoke hearts. Sometimes with hummus to dip
• savoury flapjacks/muffins
• slices of turkey/chicken/ham/smoked salmon

-malt loaf/mininhit cords buns -toast/crumpets/muffins

• hard boiled eggs

Cheese, crackers, fruit, rice cakes, veg sticks, soreen bars, toast if at home. My 2 LO’s have about 3 breakfasts 🤣 normally porridge, toast followed by a homemade smooothie

Sweet snacks

• dates, dried apricots etc but 1-2 a day max
• fruit
