    Toddler friendly veggies

    I serve a lot of fruit for snacks and do include a lot of vegetables in my lunches, but would like to serve more veggies for snacks. The problem is, most of my daycare kids are quite young (under 2) and I worry about choking, and so far I have only served cucumbers and tomatoes and avacado. Any ideas of other little tot friendly veggies?

    I serve organically grown produce and my dc children love brocolli, carrots, grape tomatoes, mixed frozen veg, but my secret - don't tell - is that I put zuchini, onions, and lots of other veggies into my food processer and add them to hamburg or gound chicken. I have some very picky eaters here but it makes me so happy when I fool them.

    I also grate zuchini and sweet potato or squash and put it into a lot of things. I am only stumped when it comes to serving fresh veggies for snacks...but I guess I could always serve steamed veggies instead

    I make a family dip, and serve to my almost 2 yr old yellow/orange/or/red pepper slices, carrots, brocoli or cherry tomatoes. She laps it up!
