Vegan snacks for kids
Fruits
Perfect for a hot summer day, fruits are full of antioxidants, water, and are natural sweeteners. An excellent snack for your little one without giving him any sugar.
- Apple slices with peanut butter (If your kid is under 4, make sure the apple is cooked before to avoid the risk of choking.)
- Banana coated in chia seeds
- Peach slices dipped in almond butter
- Avocado slices covered in flax seeds
Vegetables
These snacks are on the savory end, packed with protein and healthy fat.
Did you know that tomatoes are 95% water? And they are actually considered a fruit, not a vegetable.
- Tomato slices with tahini
- Carrot sticks dipped in hummus (If your kid is under 2, make sure the carrots are cooked before to avoid the risk of choking.)
- Celery sticks covered in peanut butter (If your kid is under 2, make sure the celery is cooked before to avoid the risk of choking.)
Tahini and hummus are great sources of iron so if you’re looking to increase your baby’s iron levels, be sure to add them to her diet!
