Raw foods for toddlers

Helen Rose from Raw Mom (http://www.rawmom.com/) suggests the following raw foods for toddlers
I think I'm going to take this list with me to my next visit to the grocery store.

What is a typical breakfast?
• juice and/or nut milk
slice up fresh fruit such as apples, oranges, banana, berries, dried fruits and other seasonal fruit.
Lydia’s raw organic cereals.

What is a typical lunch?
A normal spread would be:
• celery sticks, sometimes with nut butter
• carrot sticks
• sprouts
• olives (pitted)
• raw crackers made from the almond milk’s leftover pulp
• kale chips
• dried whole dulse (broken into pieces)
• almond milk or juice
• red bell pepper sticks

What are some good snacks?
Many toddlers are grazers.
cut up veggies out during the day
raw crackers, breads and other nibbles.
carrot and celery sticks.
dried fruit
healthy packaged snacks: Gopal's power wraps, Organic Food Bars, flax crackers, kale chips and Living Intention's nuts.
veggies are: cucumber, kale chips, dulse, red bell pepper, carrots, broccoli and raw corn with coconut oil and avocado.
olives, nut butters, pecans, macadamia nuts, pine nuts, Brazil nuts, hemp seeds and any other nut we come across.
almond milk, Sun Warrior protein powder or other protein powders to bulk up the nut milk. Superfoods like spirulina are another yummy addition.
green smoothies, fruit smoothies, superfood smoothies etc.
