Hey there, parents and snack enthusiasts! We all want the best for our little ones, especially when it comes to what they eat. As you navigate the wonderful (and sometimes messy!) world of toddlerhood, finding snacks that are both nutritious and made with wholesome ingredients can feel like a treasure hunt. That's why we're so passionate about seed oil-free snacking here at Jackson's!

Seed oils like sunflower, canola, safflower, and “vegetable” oil have become super common in processed foods. While they might be prevalent, many parents are choosing to minimize them in their family's diet, opting instead for traditional fats like avocado oil, coconut oil, and butter.

So, how do you keep those hungry little tummies happy and energized throughout the day, all while sticking to your seed oil-free goals? Don't worry, we've got you covered! We've rounded up a fantastic list of delicious and wholesome snack ideas that your toddler will love, and you can feel great about.

Our Top Seed Oil-Free Toddler Snacks:

Fresh Fruit: You can't go wrong with nature's candy! Sliced apples, juicy berries, banana coins, or a handful of grapes (halved for safety) are always a hit. They're packed with vitamins and fiber – and completely free of any sneaky oils!
Cheese Cubes: A classic for a reason! Small cubes of cheddar, mozzarella, or Colby are easy for little fingers to pick up and provide a good boost of protein and calcium.
Hard-Boiled Eggs: Don't underestimate the power of a simple hard-boiled egg! They're little nutritional powerhouses, full of protein to keep those energy levels stable.
Greek Yogurt: Creamy, delicious, and teeming with gut-friendly probiotics, plain full-fat Greek yogurt is a fantastic snack. Add a few berries or a drizzle of maple syrup (for older toddlers) for extra flavor.
Apple Slices with Nut Butter: This dynamic duo is a perfect blend of sweet, satisfying, and nutritious. Just be sure to pick a nut butter (like almond or cashew) that lists only nuts and salt in its ingredients, avoiding any added seed oils.
Jackson's Super Veggie Straws: We couldn't resist including our own! Made with real sweet potatoes, yellow peas, brown rice and cooked in avocado oil, these puffy straws are a fantastic way to offer a savory, satisfying crunch without any seed oils. A favorite with parents and the little ones!
Once Upon a Farm Bars: These convenient, cold-pressed fruit and veggie blends are a lifesaver for busy parents. The bars are made with real food ingredients like coconut oil – always check the specific flavor, but generally a great seed oil-free pick!
Plum Organics Teensy Snacks Soft Fruit Snacks: Designed for little ones, these soft, chewable fruit snacks are another great option. They're typically made with real fruit and simple ingredients, making them a parent-approved choice for a sweet treat.
Beech-Nut Smoothie: When you need a quick, nutrient-dense option, Beech-Nut offers a variety of pureed fruit and veggie smoothies in convenient pouches. They're a fantastic way to get those vitamins in!
Cucumber Slices: Simple, refreshing, and hydrating! Cucumbers are a wonderful, easy-to-munch veggie that's naturally seed oil-free and perfect for teething or just a light bite.
