Top 5 superfoods for toddlers

Reviewed by Jill Castle, MS, RDN

Fruit

Try any part of the fruit rainbow! Grapes, mangos, and just about any berry you like.

Strawberries, bananas, and apples are all perfect superfoods for your toddler. The bright pigments in these fruits host an abundance of phytonutrients and antioxidants, all that offer many health benefits to a growing child. Fruit also boasts fiber that targets the intestinal tract and acts as a cleanse. Serve in smoothies, 100 percent juices, or cut up in small chunks.

  1. I need to try sneaking veggies into smoothies! I have a very hard time getting my toddler to eat any veggies at all so this is a great idea!
