what snacks do your kids like?

[candreco]

I think DD is getting bored with her usual snack stuff.  She'll be 5 in a few weeks, and isn't a particularly picky eater.  Anyone have awesome, easy snack ideas?

[bab]

Cut up veggie
Cut up fruit
Goldfish
Town house crackers and cheese
Mozzarella sticks
Yogurt

[sonrisa]

Some easy foods DD loves are:
cherry tomatoes
edamame
seaweed
hummus
peanut butter toast
a hard boiled egg
sliced turkey meat
fruit (grapes, apple slices, clementines, bananas, etc.)
olives
nuts (cashews, pecans, almonds)
dried fruit (apple rings, apricots, cranberries, raisins, etc.)
cheese (sharp cheddar, goat gouda and toscano are her favorites but string cheese and babybels are good bets for most kids)

[Deleted]

hummus and pita chips or carrots
Special K chips
baby dill pickles
carrots or broccoli and ranch
nuts (pistachios, almonds, cashews)
dry cereal: Kix, Quaker Oatmeal Squares, Chex
Cheeze-its
apple, banana, grapes, mango

I don't know whether to make a joke about snack culture or the inclusion of seaweed on this list. ;)

My girls like:
All kinds of fruit
Apple or banana slices with peanut butter
Applesauce and applesauce squeezers
Yogurt and yogurt squeezers
Raisins
Hummus with carrots, pretzel snaps, or pita chips
Cheese tray (cheddar cheese, crackers, and grapes)
String cheese
Z-bars
Dry cereal (Cheerios, Shredded Spoonfuls, Puffins, Gorilla Munch)
Honey wheat pretzel sticks
Popcorn (especially Trader Joe's lite kettle corn)
Goldfish (last but certainly not least)

Fancy baby alert!

String cheese was the center of her universe until a few months ago. Now she only likes the super salty and nutty options. Grrr.

My kid will eat only Parm or Asiago. Lol

Mine would eat parmesan out of a bowl if I let her. She suggests it for dinner nightly.

First, my kid doesn't eat any fruits or veggies, so there's that.

Go-gurt Simple yogurt tubes
cheese sticks
seaweed
peanut butter crackers
Food Should Taste Good multigrain crackers (gluten free and they are sooo good)
Boar's Head turkey slices rolled up (turkey "roll-ups")
Fiber One brownies


David is a super picky eater and these are the only snacks he'll eat.

Avocado
Flat bread with peanut butter and banana
Salami slices or mortadella
And it seems that h got her hooked on ciabatta with liver sausage.

Crunchy salt. My kid is all about salty or vinegary things.

Most of ours have already been mentioned, but dried or freeze-dried fruits & veggies can be a hit. DD2 particularly likes freeze-dried strawberries. I think they taste like strawberry dust, but she thinks they're great.

I gave some to DD after hearing about it here. She made the most awful face and asked why it tasted like the bottom of the ocean. How she knows what the bottom of the ocean tastes like I do not know, but it seems to not be a good thing. Lol

[nursewife]

My kids are obsessed with Veggie Stucks chips. DS can be pretty picky but always devours them like it's his last meal.

FINALLY! Someone who didn't list seaweed. I don't have kids, but I would bet money everyone's kids don't just eat seaweed and veggies.
