My son is going through a fussy stage and I also don't have loads of time to make perfect little snacks. Please help.

    I'm going to write these presuming your toddler is ok with solid foods but if they're not I can provide some other suggestions.

    • raw fruits cut into strips Cucumber and bell peppers are great, minimal washing and cutting required. If your son is onboard with hummus that would be amazing for dipping too.

    • Soy / pea yogurt, mix in some blueberries etc or just eat plain

    • non salted edamame

    • Soy milk. It's healthy, filling and very hydrating, perfect for summer. We use soy milk for any hungriness outside of scheduled meal/snack times.

    • Miso soup packets (not always vegan)

    A bit stranger / more effort ideas

    • Food dehydrator for making fruit and veg crisps.

    • My son had a phase of eating plain wholegrain bread. We put some vegan cream cheese on it but it seemed to make no difference.

    • I know there are kids that like silken tofu with nothing but soy sauce on top. Not for me but that's a lot of food with only 5 seconds of prep right there.
