Healthy toddler snacks from ✨Aldi✨

We’ve been a dye free family for close to two years now and have removed harsh additives from our diets as well! At first this was a challenge because almost every popular brand in America uses dyes and terrible, harsh additives in their formulas. Since starting on this journey we’ve been able to easily find great snacks and brands that align with our lifestyle and of course, Aldi is one of our favorite places to get those items!

🔴Disclaimer: I am not a doctor. I’ve done my own research, my man and I have been feeding our family like this for awhile now and as much as I recommend it for others, it’s not my place to tell you how to feed and care for your children! This is not a fear mongering post, just wanted to spread awareness and offer great alternatives for your little ones!!

If you aren’t away of how dyes impact the body, especially in children I highly, highly recommend doing your research into it. They’re so bad for the body overall and are banned in most other countries😶 Of course not all additives are terrible carcinogens, but those that are can do so much damage to the body. Harsh additives can impact your hormones, mood, gut, overall health, etc. Again, I would highly recommend doing your research into the chemicals in your food to understand what exactly you’re eating.

I’ll add what was purchased along with the price below again🥰

🛍️ Blueberry pastry crisps for $2.65: My boys love these and I love using them as a sweet treat! They’re made with real fruit and taste great!

🛍️ Pretzel sticks for $2.39: My boys love to eat pretzel sticks on their own but like them best with peanut butter!

🛍️ Chocolate coconut clusters for $6.39: This is the first time we got these but my son was super excited for them! I love using things like this as a “healthy dessert” as well! Pumpkin, sunflower, and quinoa offer so many great benefits, even dark chocolate has a few benefits of its own!

🛍️ Unsweetened applesauce for $3.39: I feel like applesauce is a winner with most kids. My boys love applesauce and the unsweetened kind takes a big of sugar out of their diet!

🛍️ Roasted sunflower kernels for $2.75: I feel like sunflower kernels are a great addition to any meal and are a great stand alone snack. They’re easy to throw in a baggy or container to take on the go! They’re great nutrition wise and taste good too!

🛍️ Raisins for $4.69: My boys love raisins, they also love yogurt covered raisins so this container is a two and one for us! Raisins alone or freezing them in your favorite yogurt is a great form of fiber!

🛍️ Peanut butter crackers for $4.59 & cheese crackers for $3.65: I wanted to put these two together to show the same brand has different options for less than a dollar difference. The peanut butter crackers are in individual baggies which are great for on the go while the cheese crackers are in a regular box. Both are delicious and my boys love them!

🛍️ Fruit snacks for $4.59: The amount of yucky stuff in most fruit snack brands is a lot… but I have noticed several brands are going dye free which is great! We decided to try a new kind this time around and are super happy with it! They taste great and my boys love them!

I hope this list gave you some inspiration for your next grocery trip and gives you some great options to pick from! I love aldi because even through Covid they’ve stayed relatively affordable.

Let me know in the comments if you and your family have tried any of these or if you want to!🥰
