What my toddler eats

So I haven't found an amazing place for snacks for the little babe soo...

I have some fun snacks/meals that we like so I thought I'd share.

If you can't tell already he has gluten problems which in turn made me gluten free and I'll probably never go back! So these are all gluten free.

1.  Quinoa flakes (Keenwa) Ever heard of these?? They are very similar to oatmeal but jam packed with nutrients! I make just like oatmeal and add a tsp-tbs of honey with cinnamon and he loves it.

2. Banana rolls similar to this . Ethan loves banana and almond butter but peanut butter would be MMM too!

3. Crackers. Gluten free crackers are way too expensive for me and making them doesn't take much hassle. We loved this recipe!

4. Graham crackers with marshmellows! We took these camping with us. SO good! Get the recipe here and here

5. Make your own crispy bar. These are yummy! I take rice crispies(or any cereal) and add a little bit of honey and almond butter to it. Stir is up and enjoy. E loves these! If you make a big batch and stick in a pan they will harden together and rice crispy treats. I never measure the honey and butter but you can't really mess it up!

6. Cinnamon rolls. The recipe I use is grain free and oh so delish. Check it out here!

7. Oatmeal cookies- recipe to come! These are soo good. Are you getting the vibe that babe likes all the same food as mommy :)

8. Pudding. This is simple but good! Take an avocado and banana and mix in a blender and you have pudding. Add some cocoa powder and you have chocolate pudding. Talk about good food for the littles!
Take a look at my pudding:

9. Rice cakes. These are good on their own but I've found by adding almond butter and honey(we love this stuff :) that they make a fantastic treat/snack.

10. Fruit roll ups. These are so easy to make at home. Blend some fruit and pop in your dehydrator and you have a yummy car ride snack. Feeling adventurous? Look at these!!!

11. Kale chips. YUM! I saw these everywhere before making them. My first thought, ya ya ya whatever. But really they are so good! Trust me. Take some kale and add some oil and whatever else you want. Salt is good or cheese or chili powder or... And get them in your oven/dehydrator. They are soo crunchy I feel like I'm eating a chip. E goes crazy over them.

12. This one might sound weird but for whatever reason I crave this. Oatmeal and applesauce. So simple but boy is it good!


Ok I think that's it for now..
I would love some more ideas! Have any??
