Do you ever get tired of handing your kiddos the same snack over and over that isn’t living up to your nutritional expectations or pleasing their taste buds? I finally got tired of thinking about making food all day and the endless options I needed to come up with in order to meet the desires of all three of my tiny tots. So I started making snack trays that they can eat on all day long and provides them with options that are satisfying to both myself and them. Below I will provide you with five simple combinations of snacks to put into your tray.
The container I use is an inexpensive plastic veggie tray that has four places for snack options and one space for a dip. Add a dip to any snack and I guarantee your kiddos are more likely to gobble it up. I fill it up in the morning and we are good to go for the day.
