Fiber is having a moment (a long-overdue one, in our opinions). It helps bulk up our 💩 and keeps things moving in our guts. When you think about fiber, you probably think veggies, right? Easy enough to add more veggies to your diet (if you're an adult who likes them) to check off that fiber box. But what if your child just won't eat vegetables? It's okay—we promise. They can still get enough fiber through other foods, like fruit, grains, and beans. O'Farm partner and registered dietitian for kids @mamaknowsnutrition has some yummy, fiber-rich snack ideas: BABIES: 🫐 Mashed berries are a baby favorite and a great dose of fiber 🥑 Mashed avocado with a small squeeze of lime and a teaspoon of ground flax 🥣 Oatmeal with mashed peach, cinnamon, and a teaspoon of almond butter mixed in 🥦 Steamed broccoli (very soft) with a tablespoon of mascarpone mixed in TODDLERS: 🍎 Apples + nut butter: very thinly sliced apples (be mindful of size to minimize choking risk) with nut butter drizzled on top 🍌 Oatmeal bowl topped with banana and finely chopped walnuts 🧆 Falafel patties: homemade from chickpeas, which are high in fiber and make a great meal or snack 🥣 Chia seed pudding: chia seeds are a good source of fiber and make a fun, textural pudding OLDER KIDS (4+ YEARS) 🥜 Trail mix: mixed nuts are a choking hazard for young ones, but for older kids, some mixed nuts and dried fruit make a great fiber-rich snack 🍞 Avocado toast with whole wheat toast 🫘 Black bean and cheese quesadilla on a whole wheat tortilla NOTES: This post is not medical advice and is for informational purposes only. For any specific recommendations or concerns, please refer to your child’s healthcare provider. Be sure that your child is ready for these snacks. They should be able to crawl without their tummy on the floor, use fingers to eat, and start to mash food with their jaw. Be mindful of food size and texture and cut into age-appropriate pieces to minimize choking risk as needed. Only feed your child when they are seated and supervised.
