EASIEST HEALTHY MEAL MY TODDLER WILL ACTUALLY EAT

There are some meals where I make a whole home cooked meal, but lunch is usually not one of them 😂. While my toddler is eating is usually when I get stuff done in the kitchen that needs to be done like dishes etc so it’s nice not to have a bunch of lunch clean up that I have to start with that takes away time from other stuff I need to get done.

This said, I definitely do not want to make something less healthy just because I need to make a quick meal! This is why this is one of my favorite go to meals for her because it’s super easy and quick all while staying healthy 😊

... Read moreWhen it comes to feeding toddlers, finding meals that are both nutritious and appealing can be challenging. One of the best approaches is to involve your little ones in the meal preparation process. Kids are often more willing to try new foods when they have a hand in making them. In this case, simple ingredients such as grain-free tortillas, cooked meats like chicken or turkey, and reduced-fat cheese can be combined to make delightful rolls or quesadillas. Remember to choose high-quality ingredients. For example, opt for all-natural tortillas made from alternatives like almond or coconut flour for a healthier option. You can also include a variety of vegetables for added nutrients; finely chopped bell peppers, spinach, or sweet corn can be easily hidden in these wraps. Additionally, experimenting with different dips, like guacamole or yogurt-based sauces, can make the meal even more enjoyable and exciting for toddlers. Lastly, creating meal plans that are simple and efficient is crucial for busy parents. Consider prepping these meals ahead of time or storing leftovers for quick lunches during the week. With a little creativity and planning, you can ensure your toddler has access to healthy, delicious meals that they'll be happy to eat.

*I ALSO ADDED SHREDDED CHICKEN!* sorry forgot to mentioned that when I showed it 😅 I just measure with the heart and add Greek yogurt and cottage cheese until I reach my desired “sauce” consistency! The seasonings are definitely optional but onion powder and oregano are totally toddler safe 😊
