9 simple & balanced toddler meal ideas!

Do you ever feel in a rut when it comes to feeding your toddler? I do! I love following toddler food instagrams and getting inspiration from the internet.

Sometimes that inspiration can feel a little overwhelming, especially those moms that spend 30 minutes packing their kids lunch with flower shaped cheese slices and heart shaped strawberries with animal food picks. Don’t get me wrong, it is so satisfying to watch, and I SO wish I was that kind of mom.

Sometimes you just need SIMPLE. Are these meals repetitive? A little. I give my little guy what he likes and what I know is good for him! He definitely eats chicken nuggets, pizza, etc like any other toddler. The trick is to just keep offering fruits and veggies with every meal. Feel free to change the sides or entrees to whatever your kiddo likes! As you can see, we LOVE trader joe’s and their easy microwavable options.

I hope these help you if you are stuck in a toddler food rut! Enjoy!
