I'm curious to know what your toddlers are eating. DD seems like such a bottomless pit that I feel like all I do all day long is fix things for her to eat.
I'm thinking maybe she needs something more rich in carbs actually. Mostly she eats tons of dairy.
In the morning she asks for food before we even get out of bed.
Then she will usually have a banana and a few helpings of yogurt for breakfast. (We have gone thru 4 large containers in the last week!).
About 30 min later she is asking for fruit leather or another banana or more yogurt again or bread and butter.
Then lunch roles around (which never seems to be too long after breakfast). She will often have grilled cheese or eggs with toast and sourkraut. Then she wants something else before her nap sometimes. She will eat 3 bananas a day if I let her!
As soon as she wakes up she wants a snack - she usually asks for yogurt or fruit leather (which I've stopped buying 'cause she asks for it so much and it's so concentrated that I only think it should be a treat), or often we will have a cup of warm milk with honey and vanilla - that or a smoothie is the only way she likes raw milk.
Dinner is whatever we are having and then she wants snacks every little while til bed.
She's always been a grazer - even breastfeeding. I guess I'm thinking I should fix some snacks and just leave them all out - but I'm kind of at a loss as to good snacks. She likes some cheese raw -she'll eat 1/2 a $7 container of raw goat chevre at one sitting. But she doesn't like the hard cheeses so much unless they are in something or melted. She can't get enough sour cream or butter. She likes ground meat, and her CLO (fishy treats) but doesn't like the texture of chicken or steak - will only eat it cut really small and mixed into stuff. Takes after me there for sure!
She will eat copious amounts of fruits, but doesn't like most veggies raw.
So what could I put out on a snack tray for her?

:. She also usually has a bit of warm milk with her probiotic in it before nap and bed, but otherwise all she drinks is water.
: she will still snack.
