My 26-month old daughter is growing very fond of Doritos, cookies, snack cakes and other junk food. I don't mind her having these things occasionally, but I want to keep her healthy and offer her nutritious snacks. She's a picky eater. What snacks do you other parents offer your 2 year olds? I thought about maybe carrot sticks (cut pretty thin so she can chew them). Also- what do you think about the baked versions of chips? I think they're really good- but what about for toddlers? Any other ideas? Thanks.

Crackers & cheese, goldfish, graham crackers, fruit snack packs (have 100% vitamin C), fruit roll ups, yogurt, carrots, broccoli, celery with ranch dip (its the only way I can get my kids to eat their veggies), apple slices, orange slices, etc... Just stay away from all that sugar & salt...

Carrot sticks are good, so are apples cut into bite size pieces. You can even serve a bit of peanut butter for dipping.
Grapes, cut in half. My son even likes corn (the sweet white variety is his favorite).

cheese crakers, gold fish, raisins, cheerios, applesauce or cooked apples, raw apples cut very small, strawberries or any fruit, my children also like smoothies made from yogurt and fruit and I sometimes put a little veggies or veggie juice in there its just as good as ice cream to them.
