So true! It's incredible how adventurous they can be when it comes to snacking. The excitement on their faces makes all the mess worth it too - bonus points if it's something sticky! Seeing them explore and enjoy new foods is such a nice feeling.

The mess makes it more fun! You're spot on about the excitement and their sense of adventure too - it's adorable seeing them explore different textures and flavours. The stickier, the better - it's like a little reward for the mess haha!

Parenthood Each day brings a new and tasty adventure - like hiding vegetables in cookies, cakes, and pancakes or discovering the many ways toddlers enjoy their veggies. It's heartwarming to see them explore new tastes and textures.

So true! It's a constant joy to witness those little taste bud adventures and their adorable reactions. The other day, I pureed some carrots and added them to the chocolate mousse - the look of satisfaction on my tot's face was priceless! Hiding veggies never gets old, especially when it ends up being such a win.

Planning nutritious meals for toddlers can be tricky because they're often fickle when it comes to food. half the time, what works today might not work tomorrow, which keeps us on our toes! But it's also exciting to explore new foods and create fun memories together.

 

[joyful]

That is so true! Planning meals for toddlers can definitely keep us on our toes, but it's an exciting adventure. Exploring new foods and creating those happy eating memories is a wonderful part of parenthood!

It sure keeps life interesting! Keeping toddlers fed and happy is a full-time job, but luckily, it's also very rewarding.

Life with toddlers is certainly an adventure! Their little personalities are just the best - keeping us on our toes with their curious natures and adorable antics.

Finding nutritious foods they love can be tricky, but it's such a win when you discover healthy options they enjoy. Fruit and veggie 'picks' have been a huge hit in our house recently - thread thin slices of apple or pear with little cubes of their favourite veggies. It's so simple, but the presentation seems to delight them and keeps them engaged and excited at meal times. We've also discovered that mini muffins are a great snack - full of good stuff and easy for them to hold themselves (bonus points for mum!).

What other tasty treats do you find work well for your little ones? I'm always on the lookout for new ideas!

My tot's current favourites are homemade fruit pouches, made with blended strawberries, bananas, and a splash of apple juice - a delicious and healthy snack that's so portable too! I also let her indulge in some dairy goodness with yoghurt drops. They're not too messy and the different colours make it fun for her. Additionally, she loves dipping corn kernels in hummus - crunchy and protein-filled goodness!

I've been wanting to try making my own fruit pouches! Does blended banana make the mixture thick enough, or do you need to add some thickened agents like oatmeal or flaxseed? Or perhaps the smoothness of frozen bananas helps? Also, those yogurt drops sound intriguing. Do they taste like regular yogurt? I'm glad to hear that your girl enjoys a variety of tastes and textures!

The blended bananas make the fruit pouch mixture thick enough - I don't add any thickening agents, though I sometimes use frozen bananas instead of fresh ones, which seem to make the blend thicker and creamier. It's quite astonishing how different textures and temperatures can completely transform the taste and experience of the same fruits!

yogurt drops taste just like regular yogurt, but a bit more concentrated in flavor. They're a hit with my girl, and I love that they're a good source of protein and calcium. A winning snack for sure! Also, you might want to try freezing the fruit pouches, especially if you use creamy avocado or banana. It's a fun way to keep the snacks cold and keep 'em coming during outdoor activities.
