Apple Snacks
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.
Bear Toast

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.

Frozen Yoghurt Mini Drops
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.

This is such an easy and healthy snack that is perfect for hot days.

So why not make Sushi Roll Sandwiches by flattening a slice of bread with a rolling pin, filling with your child’s favourite sandwich ingredients, rolling up and cutting into bite size pieces. These little mouthfuls will be gobbled up in an instant!
Peanut Butter Oat Bites
Peanut Butter Oat Bites are great for a quick and easy snack on the go. Packed with oats, peanut butter and raisins, they are perfect for long car trips, lunchboxes or an afternoon snack.
