Most toddlers love the combination of apple and peanut butter (and really, what’s not to love!). Add a few raisins and some oats to the peanut butter centre for an added energy boost.

Frozen Yoghurt Fruit Pops
For a quick and easy snack that is perfect for summer, why not whip up a batch of Frozen Yoghurt Fruit Pops. Simply dip chunks of your child’s favourite fruit into a bowl of greek yoghurt and honey.

The warmer weather means that your toddler will be wanting some cooler snacks. Avoid the temptation of an ice-cream by making a batch of these Frozen Yoghurt Mini Drops.
