Snack ideas for kids.
B is pretty picky, so I'm trying (slowly but surely) to expand his palate. When it's snacktime, we usually do the same few things over and over: wheat crackers & cheese, yogurt, carrots & dip, apples/ bananas and peanut butter, peach/nectarine, pretzels, grapes. I just feel like its the same stuff daily and he's tired of it. He doesn't really care for carrots and whines when he doesn't like the healthier choices. We have gotten off of the packs of fruit snacks kick solely because I stopped buying them. So what do your kids snack on?
I'm thinking about getting the V8 fruit/veggie drinks so he will get a serving of veggies. Probably not the greatest, but oh well. I've also been doing some pinning of lunch ideas on Pinterest for when he goes to school in a couple of weeks. I'm just struggling.
Also, the child won't eat meat. Unless its on a taco. He loves him some tacos.
Re: Snack ideas for kids.
Graham crackers = perfect for dipping. Thanks! I think animal crackers would survive half a day and B wouldn't ever get the chance to eat them. And he does like applesauce--yay! He's been weird about granola bars lately...maybe it's time for a new kind.

Cooper loves larabars, which are typically dates, almonds and other nuts/fruits to give them different flavors.
I think Cooper gets tired of the same foods we eat all the time too, but I really don't care. I'm like- if you're THAT hungry..... you'll eat it. You're a more compassionate mom than me!
DS is all about blueberries. I usually buy frozen since it is way cheaper and he just eats them straight out of the freezer. I second the hummus recommendation, especially if you're trying to get him some protein since he shuns meat. My MIL makes a dip thing that is guacomole-like but has avocado mixed with cottage cheese. That might be a good idea too for the protein since I think cottage cheese is a good source (other cheese too).
