Strawberries
Strawberries are often an easy sell when it comes to toddler foods. These naturally sweet berries are loaded with vitamin C, which is known for it's immune-boosting properties. Toddlers between the ages 1 and 3 years old require 15 mg. of this nutrient, which equates to only 2 to 3 strawberries a day (one strawberry contains approximately 7 mg. of vitamin C each).
Strawberries can be easily cut into toddler-appropriate finger foods. Freeze-dried strawberries or homemade strawberry "sauce" (like apple sauce) are also wonderful toddler-friendly options.
