Toddler Meal Plan
Patricia Poulsen

Hey there!

I'm excited to be able to provide you with this 7 day meal plan for you and your toddler. The purpose of this meal plan is to give you
recipe inspiration, help you break free from the food rut, and show you how you can use every meal and snack opportunity to
maximize the amount of nutrition your child is exposed to.

Key word here is exposed.

This meal plan is not to tell you how much your child should eat or even that your child should eat any of this at all. Every child is
completely different and their appetites, food preferences and level of "pickiness" will vary.

However, we have a job as parents. And that is to continually expose our children to healthy meals comprised of whole food as
much as possible. Then, we let them do the rest!

This is a hard concept for a lot of us to accept at first. Don't worry, if you follow my blogs on or my social media for any length of
time you'll know how well this works when you let it.

But the gist of it is that they can choose to eat, or not to eat. They also choose how much to eat. Let's leave that part up to
them.

Now, the beauty of this meal plan, is that because everything is so nutrient dense (no goldfish crackers or cereal puffs in here!),
even if your child only nibbles on something or chooses only a couple meals or snacks each day, they will be getting maximum
nutrition in each bite that will carry them through just fine. The meals are designed to be comprised of fat, protein and fibre to keep
your child full between feeding times, and will help keep blood sugars stable.

Lastly, when it comes to picky eaters, exposing your child over and over to a variety of food is key. Notice that there isn't much
repetition happening, along with continual presentation of fruits and vegetables at almost every eating opportunity, so that your
toddler gets used to having them present. Again, not every toddler will eat everything at first - but - using recipes like this (along with
many other strategies I can give down the road to tackle picky eating) is a big start to helping your toddler achieve a varied and
healthy diet.

As always, feel free to reach out to me with any and all questions you may have and make sure to join my private Facebook group
(My Little Eater) and follow me on Instagram (@mylittleeater) for daily inspiration and tips on feeding your little one.

Enjoy!

P.S. Serving sizes in this menu plan are adult serving sizes, so adjust as needed for your toddler's appetite.
