Finding convenient, tasty AND healthy toddler snacks is no easy feat.

Before kids, I had an idealistic vision in my mind that I would always have healthy snack options around and my toddler would beg for fruits and vegetables!  Ha, o man I can only laugh at myself now for being so naive!!

Alright, alright, I’m being hard on myself – we do OKAY with snacks.  I mean, it could be worse…
