When there are certain foods of great interest to a small person, but that do not pass your sniff test, what do you substitute? Here are a few of ours:
Chocolate milk. 1.5 cups of milk or soy milk, 1 ripe banana, 3 heaping spoonfuls of unsweetened chocolate powder, 1 heaping spoonful of (unsweetened -- sad to have to specify) peanut butter. We both drink this.
Typical yogurt (sweetened). Regular whole milk plain yogurt and a small amount of unsweetened apple sauce or low-sugar jam.
Granola bars. Larrabars are pretty cool. I like the one where the entire ingredient list is: "Cashews, dates."
Cheerios. Trader Joe's whole wheat Cheerios.
Cheese nips. There is no substitute for Cheese Nips which are a (fortunately occasional) passion of his. It's just got be Cheese Nips.

It's so nice to see a new post!
I recommend trying ProBars (lovingly made in Park City, with many varieties, easily found at REI), and Big Sur Bars (most easily purchased online).

yummy- and I agree there is no sub for Cheese Nips- smart boy :) Oh, how we miss them so in Africa :) Lots of love to you all!!!
Tragically, we're past the age where the kids can be sated with substitutes. Curse you, dawning of the age of reason!
Thank you for those great ideas I have been looking for new ideas I am so glad I came across your blog.
