17mo snack and healthy lunch ideas

4 replies

lorrycat · 30/12/2009 19:00

I'm sure my DS gets fed up looking at the same lunches and snacks every day.

Usually its Petit Filous, Bananas, Chicken Soup, bananas, rice cakes, more bananas, raisins and more bananas....you get the idea.

He won't eat bread anymore so sandwhiches are out of the question.

But what else can i serve him for lunch or snacks?
Today i did some shopping and came back with seedless mandarins, bananas, grapes, pineapple, custard, sugar free jelly and organix gingerbread men.

any ideas would be greately appreciated.

toast with jam or cheese spread, (what about brown bread instead of white?)

omelette chopped up into bite sizes so he can pick it up

jacket potato cut in half scoop out the filling and mix with cheese or beans

Hummous and breadsticks.

Felafels. (my 19 mo DS likes Morroccan spiced ones from Waitrose)

He also loves sausages (I try to get good quality ones). And mash. And peas. Oh and meatballs go down v well (again, home made or otherwise relatively healthy ones)

Crumpets. Cinnamon and raisin bagels and cream cheese.

Pannettone is going down a bomb at the moment (though that is rather less healthy).

Also we get Rachel's organic yoghurts for littlies due to absence of sugar and presence of fruit puree instead. Also get Plum fromage frais (if on special offer) for same reason.

Breadsticks or crackers
Flapjack
Banana bread
Eggy bread
Any fruit
Bits of cheese
Slices of ham/cut up sausages/pieces of Chicken
Cheese twists (sprinkle ready-rolled pastry with grated cheese, fold in half and slice into fingers. Twist together and bake)
Frozen peas (weird, but loads of kids like them)

incidentally - why sugar free jelly? he's having petit filous which have sugar in.

Avocado.
Chunks of cheese.
Roast chicken sliced.
Puree- potatoes with broccoli or carrots.
Pasta.
Vegetable soup- just boil different veggies in a small amount of water and blend.
Pancakes with apples and cinnamon.
Eggs.
Except soup and mash I cut the food up and she feeds herself.
