My biggest accomplishment over the last couple of months has been switching my toddler’s usual snacks of cookies, fruit snacks, and other not-so-great for you snacks to THM-friendly snacks. And it wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be! They eat many crossovers, either for snacks or meals to make sure that they grow as God intended them to. You’ll also see that I make them some honey-sweetened treats as that is on plan for kids who don’t have weight issues. My littles eat a LOT of stevia-sweetened treats as well. So far, they haven’t complained once about their snacks or even asked for their old treats! I put together a BIG list of what they’ve been eating and of what I’m planning for them to eat so you can include some of these snacks in your own home. Hint: This list works for husbands too. 🙂

I hope this helps you in your journey to better your families health! What are your kids favorite THM snacks?
Only 2 of the recipe links are working. Hope this can be fixed soon and thank you so much for listing these and what category they go in.
These are great ideas, but most of them contain dairy and/or peanut butter (my son has allergies to both). I would love to see an allergy friendly snack list sometime!
Hey, Holly!
Great idea! I’ll add that to my list of future posts. 🙂 I’m not sure if she has an exact LIST of snacks, but here’s a great allergy-free THM blog that might have some good ideas. I hope this helps! <3
