1-Year-Old Menu

I've been asked a few times lately about what I'm feeding my little one these days. I decided to share a few of the menu options I have in place at this time.

With breakfast, snacks, and dinner I give 4 ounces of milk. For lunch, I offer water - as well as sips of water throughout the day as wanted. 

Breakfast options:

  • Oatmeal
  • No sugar, banana/blueberry muffin
  • Scrambled egg
  • Toast (with a bit of butter)
  • 1/4 Cup of cereal
  • Chopped fruit (strawberries, bananas, oranges, peaches, cantaloupe, etc)
  • Bagel (with cream cheese)

Snack options:

  • Organic animal crackers
  • Organic fruit/veggie squeeze pouch
  • Mango and sweet potato chunks (1/4 cup of each)
  • Steamed carrots with a bit of ranch
  • 1/2 Cinnamon toast
  • 1/2 Banana
  • Grapes
  • String cheese
  • Puffs/yogurt melts (on occasion)
  • 1/8 Cup yogurt

Lunch options:

  • 1/2 Sandwich (variety: turkey/cheese, strawberry/cream cheese, sloppy joe, PB&J)
  • 1/4 Cup vegetable (green beans, peas, carrots, sweet potato, etc.)
  • 1/8 Cup organic applesauce
  • 1/8 Cup tomato soup
  • 1/2 grilled cheese
  • Zucchini bread
  • Cheese

Dinner options:

  • Pasta (with tomato sauce)
  • Cheese ravioli 
  • 1/4 cup chicken/fish
  • 1/8 cup vegetable
  • 1/8 cup fruit
  • Black/pinto/white beans (cooked and cut in half)

My 1-year-old's eating schedule is:

8:15am - Milk, Breakfast
11:15am - Milk, Snack
1:15pm - Water, Lunch
3:45pm - Milk, Snack
6:30pm - Milk, Dinner

Anyway, just a few ideas of things to feed your little ones :)
