Scrambled eggs were a staple protein for my 2 year old for a long time (no milk or anything added, just spray a coffee cup with pam, whip with a fork, microwave for 20-30 seconds, whip with fork, 20-30 more seconds and cool - fast and easy!) Other ideas: greek yogurt has a ton of protein - the dannon light & fit is really tasty. Cheese (my daughter loves baby bell for some reason) and lots of beans (black beans, kidney beans are Maddie's faves.)Kristy Goldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13663533182911805614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673156649493622108.post-14220534505557972522013-11-18T20:42:04.136-06:002013-11-18T20:42:04.136-06:00Happy 1.5 years, sweet Clara!

Emma is rarely a meat eater. Bean are hit or miss with her, but worth a try!

Protein is a big issue in our house, too. Cam refuses to eat meat. We do a lot of Greek yogurt, cottage cheese and peanut butter for protein around here. Happy 18 months!!

So excited to hear she is doing SO MUCH BETTER with her food. <br /><br />As far as protein goes, I would recommend any kind of beans (you will of course probably want to cut them into smaller pieces for her), almond butter, and/or sunflower seed butter (we buy ours at Trader Joe's). To thin out the consistency of the nut/seed butters, I usually put a small layer of coconut butter/oil on toast/crackers/pancakes (melts immediately), followed by a little bit of almond butter or sunflower butter. Ellie loves it! But, as you know, this is what works for us…maybe Clara won't be crazy about these new food combos (and that's ok!).<br /><br />Will be praying for you guys and the transition to classes. I can't wait to see pics of her in them. So cute!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13712967630598869593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673156649493622108.post-14701377960278237032013-11-18T11:34:37.836-06:002013-11-18T11:34:37.836-06:00Happy 18 months, Clara, and WTG on the food progre...Happy 18 months, Clara, and WTG on the food progress!!

Overjoyed with you that you all weathered the first really rough patch with cutting molars which obviously led to her explosion of trying and eating new foods. So thankful that insurance has approved the extra support and will look forward to watching Clara change even more when she is really able to "see" and experience more things around her. She melts my heart and I love how she is making such great strides in her development. I can't wait to spend time with all of you at Thanksgiving. We are totally blessed!Grandma Frecklesnoreply@blogger.com
