Hi there,
I am a concerned parent of a toddler who has been diagnosed with a nut allergy. I'm looking for some healthy snack options that I can give to my little one without worrying about allergic reactions. I want to make sure that my child is getting the necessary nutrients, but also want to keep him safe from any harmful substances.
I know that nuts and nut-based products are a possible source of allergens, so I've decided to stay away from them completely. I'm hoping to find some delicious and healthy snacks that are nut-free and suitable for toddlers to eat. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thank you in advance for your help!

Hello,
When my daughter got diagnosed with a nut allergy, I was also worried about finding tasty and healthy snacks that wouldn't trigger her allergy. Over the years, I've come up with a few options that have worked well for us.
One of our favorite snacks is homemade hummus with carrot sticks or sliced bell peppers. It's a great way to get some protein and fiber into her diet while also being a delicious snack.
Another snack that we enjoy is homemade granola bars. I've found they're much safer than store-bought granola bars, and I'm able to control the ingredients. There are many different recipes online that you can use, but I like to use oats, honey, and dried fruit.
For a sweeter snack, we like to make banana ice cream. Simply chop up a banana, freeze it, and then blend it in a food processor until it has a creamy consistency. We like to add a sprinkle of cinnamon or some dark chocolate chips for an extra kick.
Ultimately, finding suitable snacks for your toddler with a nut allergy is all about trial and error. Try different snacks to find what your child likes best, and don't be afraid to get creative with your kitchen endeavors!
