Your 15-month-old is growing fast and developing new skills each day. At this age, they are also able to chew and bite bigger chunks of food. As a result, their meal options have expanded substantially from when they were younger. Here are some healthy, simple, and delicious meal ideas for your little one at this age:
1. Veggie and Cheese Omelette: Whisk one egg and add in some finely chopped veggies like spinach, onions, and tomatoes. Cook it in a non-stick pan and add cheese on top. Cut into small pieces and serve with some sliced avocados.
2. Mini Meatballs with Spaghetti: Combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, and an egg in a bowl. Roll into small balls and cook in a tomato sauce. Serve with some cooked spaghetti and sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
3. Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry: Cut boneless chicken into small pieces and stir fry with some veggies like bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas. Season with a pinch of salt and some diced garlic. Serve with some brown rice.
4. Yogurt and Fruit Parfait: Layer some plain Greek yogurt and your child’s favorite fruit in a small jar or cup. Top with some granola or crushed graham crackers.
5. Hummus and Veggie Wrap: Spread some hummus on a whole wheat tortilla and add some chopped veggies like cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots. Roll the tortilla and cut into smaller pieces. Serve with some fruit on the side.
While these meals are healthy and easy to prepare, always make sure to cut the food into small pieces and supervise your child while they eat to prevent choking hazards. With these meal ideas, your little one will be on their way to a lifelong love of healthy food!
