3 Toddler Approved Yogurt Dips for Veggies
Struggling to get your toddler to eat their vegetables? Homemade yogurt dips for veggies to the rescue! These Three Kid-Approved Yogurt Dips for Veggies are easy as well as delicious. Your toddlers and big kids will be so excited to dive in and chow down!
Toddlers absolutely love flavorful dips for veggies, fruit, french toast sticks, crackers, fingers—you name it. They love to dip anything and everything.
I think this is partly because they love making big messes, but I also think they absolutely love being in charge.
‘Meeeee, do it’ is one of Parker’s favorite phrases these days. It’s fun, so fun.
But when I give her a tasty dip, she goes crazy for it and will eat about a zillion more veggies than if I don’t give her a dip at all. The reason is that she’s in charge—she can dip, not dip, eat her dip with a spoon (or her fingers), and she loves that freedom.
It’s a simple act, but somedays/anyday I’ll do anything to get her to eat more veggies.
These 3 dips are toddler-approved and have been on constant repeat in our house for weeks now.
Here’s what we have going on here –
Ranch Yogurt Hummus Dip is full of chickpeas, a little squeeze of lemon, and a few dashes of onion powder, garlic, dill, and parsley.
Spinach Basil Yogurt Dip is full of yogurt, spinach, pesto, and a little lemon juice.
Wait, did you even just catch it? I ‘hide’ a big serving of spinach in a dip and called it a toddler dip. Tricky, I know.
Thai Peanut Yogurt Dip is full of yogurt, peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic. A fun global taste for your little adventurer.
You can pair any of these dips with your toddler’s favorite veggies. Our favorites include carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes, cut cucumbers, pepper sticks, snap peas, and broccoli florets. You can use whatever you have in the fridge or better yet, let your little one be in charge and let them pick out their own veggies.
Better they pick, then them all ending up on the floor.
