These delicious snack balls make a fantastic healthy snack. They are so easy to make! They are a great way of serving raw carrot to older babies instead of offering hard carrot sticks.
Finely grate equal parts carrot and tasty cheese, then simply roll into bite size balls.
DID YOU KNOW...
Carrots are packed full of beta-carotene, which our bodies convert into vitamin A. Carrots are one of the best sources of vitamin A. Vitamin A is good for your skin, bones, teeth, and vision. Beta-carotene is also what gives carrots their distinct orange colour.
Cheese is among the richest dietary sources of calcium, which plays an essential role in bone health.

These look like such a lovely treat. How long would they keep in the fridge?
Hi Annamarie, these keep for a few days in the fridge. Choose an airtight bag or container to store them in, with as little air in with them as possible to prevent the cheese from hardening.
Try offering food in small containers and bags instead of on a plate. Many toddlers enjoy picking food out of things because it challenges their tiny fingers. Zip lock sandwich bags are an easy option. Some foods you could try are corn kernels, sultanas and diced cucumber.
