Healthy Snack Ideas for Baby

Tracking Pixel

Some days it feels like I just make a meal, clean up after a meal, then make a meal, then clean up after a meal. All. Day. Long. Anyone else? Between three kids and a husband, I prepare a lot of meals. And a lot of snacks too. Belle is my good eater. She’s always up to try new foods and isn’t afraid to let us know what she likes and what she doesn’t like. It’s so refreshing after dealing with two picky older kids! I’m partnering with one of my favorite brands, Stonyfield Organic YoBaby Yogurt for this post.

I usually prepare Belle three small meals a day and two snacks. For her meals she usually eats what we eat…but snacks for a baby have always been a little challenging for me! But I’ve finally discovered a few favorites that we all can enjoy, not just Belle!

Belle loves to snack on small pieces of cereal, veggie straws, and lots and lots of fruit. Right now, her favorites are diced strawberries and blueberries. I pretty much stick to the same rotation of snacks because she loves them, and they are easy for me to prepare. I recently gave her some small thin slices of mango and she gave me the cutest smile after taking a bite. She loved it!

Lately Belle has also been LOVING yogurt! She often has it for a snack or for breakfast. And that makes me happy because it’s such a great source of nutrition for her. Yogurt is a great first food for babies over 6 months old.

I’ve been giving her Stonyfield Organic YoBaby Yogurt because it is certified organic and does not contain an added sweetener. Belle is already sweet enough, she doesn’t need added sweetener in her yogurt, am I right?

YoBaby is the #1 pediatrician recommended yogurt for babies and kids 6 months – 2 years and it is also the first organic baby yogurt. Belle likes Stonyfield Organic YoBaby Yogurt because the texture is thick and creamy. It isn’t as runny as other yogurts which means less mess while she eats…or feeds herself.

Stonyfield Organic YoBaby Yogurt comes in cups that are made of PLA which is plant-based and has BB-12 probiotics for happy tummies. Because Stonyfield Organic YoBaby is certified organic, that means it’s always made without artificial flavors or preservatives, toxic persistent pesticides, artificial hormones, antibiotics, and GMOs. I feel good about giving it to her as a healthy snack. Big sister loves it too!
