12 Healthy Toddler Lunch Ideas
These 12 Healthy Toddler Lunch Ideas are nutrient packed (we are even going to hide some extra veggies in them) and balanced meals that will be devoured by your toddler in no time at all! And with the help from my favorite brand of store-bought baby food, Beech-Nut, we are going to make all these go-to toddler lunches in record timing. 12 Toddler Lunch Ideas Toddler lunches can be tricky! Not only are toddlers notorious at this age for being picky eaters but they are also great at changing their minds 3 seconds before you put their plate down in front of them about what they want to eat for that meal. Not to mention they sometimes will devour their entire plate in 3-seconds flat only to ask for another snack an hour later, or better yet when they will take one itsy-bitsy bite of their food and declare they are full. So, when it comes to toddler lunches, I aim for healthy food that I can make in no time at all. And because I am not above sneaking in some ...
Avocado + Blueberry Yummy Toddler Mini Muffins
These Avocado and Blueberry Mini Muffins are little healthy bombs loaded with fruit and healthy fats. Their size makes them perfect for toddler hands and baby led weaning. Yum! A couple of months of ago I took one for the team and carb-binged on a muffin bought from a coffee shop. This is an act that I try really hard never to do because besides being loaded with oil, sugar, refined wheat and an abundance of calories they also never taste that good. Leaving me disappointed and sad. If you are by chance making homemade muffins, I will show up on your front porch, and chat with you while I eat my way through half a tin, of course loaded with butter. But here I was at the coffee shop looking over their selection of food while I ordered my coffee and I saw something that made me think of you guys. A muffin made with AVOCADO and strawberries. What a brilliant combination. So I splurged and got one. Sadly, of course, it wasn't worth it. The muffin was still dry in parts and soggy from ...

This powerhouse Egg Yolk + Avocado Baby Food Puree is filled with protein, healthy fats and a ton of essential vitamins and minerals for a growing baby. This makes a perfect (if not common) first food for baby! Egg Yolk and Avocado Baby Food Puree Egg yolk and avocado sound weird for a baby puree, right? That's what I thought as well. So glad we are on the same page. When Elliette was little I did lots of research on what the best first foods for babies where and I found that one popular belief among natural food nutritionists is that egg yolks are supreme to any other foods. Benefits of Egg Yolks for Baby: Egg yolks are filled with choline, cholesterol and other brain-nourishing substances that are vital for the insulation of the nerves in the brain and entire central nervous system. Since the brain is so dependent on cholesterol, it is especially vital during this time when the brain growth is in hyper-speed (read more about the ...
