healthy finger foods for baby


I’ve had a lot of fun starting solid foods with my little one this year. She’s responded very well to healthy foods like sweet potato, squash, broccoli, avocado, eggs and salmon. But I got a little bit stuck when it came to providing healthy finger foods and snacks for when we’re out and about.
I wanted to avoid the processed foods with a long list of ingredients. Though they are convenient, they are not nutrient-dense and can be tough on a baby’s immature digestive system. For now, we’re sticking to nature’s fast food!

"on the go" snacks ideas
+ peas
+ seaweed snacks (a big hit!)
+ small pieces of steamed carrot
+ giant carrot to gnaw on (great for teething!)
+ sweet potato “fries”
+ small bits of cheese
