If your little one struggles with food allergies, than you know how difficult it can be to find food to make that is nutritious and somewhat diverse. Toddler P. currently is allergic to almonds and eggs, so this makes for difficult and/or limited breakfast options. As we are finding new foods that not only Toddler P. can eat but actually like, I thought I would share those ideas with you.
First option:
- Van's gluten free waffles (1/2 slice). I usually buy either blueberry or original of this brand. These waffles have such healthy ingredients and as a plus, they are gluten free. Yes Toddler P. can eat gluten, but I still like giving her a variety of foods.
- 3 to 4 banana pieces.
- 1 to 2 plum pieces
- A handful of grapes (cut in half).
- 1 apple slice (cut in half).
- I give Toddler P. a small amount of puree still because at 15+ months she still only has 5 teeth.
Second option:
- Homemade pancakes. I typically make a large batch of Bisquick Heart Healthy pancakes (made with apple sauce instead of egg), and then refrigerate the rest so I can reheat this for her breakfast and lunch.
- A handful of grapes.
- 2 to 3 cantaloupe pieces.
- 2 to 3 banana pieces.
- 1 to 2 plum pieces.
What do you make for breakfast for your children?

We are going to be at this stage so soon. Thank you for the tips!

DeleteLOVE bananas! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Andi! Me too!
DeleteWe always did lots of mini muffins, dry bite-sized cereal, waffles, and lots and lots of fruit, very similar to what you have here. I loved the finger food stage because it was so much easier than spoon feeding!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Megan! It is so much easier than the spoon feeding stage :D.
DeleteVery well rounded meal - great to remember the fruit!

DeleteThese are great ideas! I always struggle with breakfast ideas for my kiddos...it is hard to find healthy breakfasts that are yummy and EASY! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment Summer! I feel like breakfast can be the hardest.. at least for me anyway. I think mostly because I'm still not awake, so my brain isn't working enough to figure out new ideas for meals :D
