Happy Thursday! In place of our usual Thoughtful Thursday, today I am participating in Brittany at A Healthy Slice of Life‘s Munchkin Meals. A couple of months ago I shared a lot about *how* little T eats and thought this would be fun to showcase what he has been enjoying eating lately!
Breakfast
Breakfast always has fruit, maybe a pancake/french toast/muffin, sometimes cheese and then usually another random fat/protein source accompanied by a green smoothie
strawberries, chicken, cheese & banana with a side of green smoothie: kale, mustard greens, frozen fruit medley, 1/2 banana, flax seed & water
half a banana, french toast on local/organic whole wheat bread, grapes & strawberries
T saying “haaawt” to his french toast (:
we usually make a green smoothie at home every morning but if we happen to be low on ingredients or in a rush T also loves these green smoothies from Trader Joe’s!
AM Snack
While we are out & about during our morning adventure I bring T cut up fresh fruit, roasted sweet potatoes and sometimes almond butter/almond butter & jam sandwiches to snack on
Pre Nap Lunch
I usually put a light lunch out when we get home before T takes his nap.
green beans, chick peas & kidney beans & banana with half OJ/half water
peach, chicken & black eyed peas
strawberries, oranges, roasted sweet potatoes, white potatoes & raw milk cheese
frozen peas, blueberries, cheese & banana topped with almond butter
decisions, decisions (:
After Nap Lunch
This is usually a heartier plate, I would say this is the time of day T eats the most food at one sitting.
strawberries, lentils & rice, beet saurkraut, golden beets, and a cut up leftover pancake from the AM (almond flour, egg, flax seed, olive oil, baking powder & banana)
strawberries, peaches, golden beets & lentils
strawberries, olives, curried green beans, carrots & potatoes
white potatoes, red bell peppers, raspberries & a whole wheat tortilla wrap with almond butter & fig spread
Dinner
I don’t have pictures of dinner because we are usually all sitting down as a family and I don’t have my phone/ always forget to get a snapshot. T eats whatever we are having, often he just grazes off of our plates too. This night we were having black cod, sauerkraut, and a green salad. He ate the fish & sauerkraut and I filled his placemat up with some leftovers from lunch too.
strawberries, sauerkraut, miso black cod, leftover chicken, black eyed peas & cheese from lunch
So there you have it, a mix of all the different kinds of foods T has been discovering, playing with, and eating lately! We shop at the farmer’s markets for most of our fruits, vegetables and bread so a lot of things that are in season are recurring on his plate, especially strawberries 🙂 As we venture into fall I am excited to see different crops offered (the first butternut squash made an appearance this week!!!) and try out some new, seasonal recipes!
What a good variety of foods he gets! I love that he says “Haaawwt” – My son says that too!
I love that you call your morning outings “adventures”. I do that with my little one, too. One day he’s going to learn the real definition of adventure and hate me for calling grocery shopping an adventure!
