My kids love those too. My youngest loves the homemade greek yogurt with a tad of powdered sugar and mini chocolate chips. That one will eat every fruit but oranges. The oldest two are a product of my much less healthier diets and are far more difficult to switch over to the healthy snacks.0

smoothies
rice
tofu of any kind, but espec ially smoked or curry

My kids love raw veggies and hummus, too. Different kids will eat different veggies, but in general they will pretty much all eat carrots, celery, sugar snap peas, and cucumbers. Some like broccoli, some like cauliflower, some like asparagus, some like red bell pepper... They like the hummus better when I substitute peanut butter for the tahini and add just a touch of honey. (I discovered that by accident. :-))
Fruit. OMGoodness, we go through the fruit.
Cheese, especially mozarella string cheese.
Yogurt. Sometimes we make "sandwiches" with yogurt and graham crackers and stick them in the freezer.
Nuts.
Homemade muffins. We use honey, oats, and whole wheat flour in ours.
Whole grain crackers and guacamole.0 -
Any sort of baking goes like hotcakes around here. LOL. I don't do a lot of baking, because they'll eat everything in one day!0

Mine will eat yogurt and almost any fruit. He also loves ants on a log (celery, peanut butter, raisins) or trail mix (usually craisins or raisins mixed with peanuts and a few chocolate chips or m&m's). Air popped popcorn is a favorite too.0
