I need food ideas

[Jmom1010]

Hi gals, I am looking for some good healthy calorie dense snack ideas. My son is a grazer and I usually only get one good meal out of him a day and then he just wants to snack. He usually ends up snacking on straight carbs, fruit, crackers, cereal etc. I would like to put a little weight on him before we get his tonsils out since he is so skinny now. He's 3.5yrs, 39 1/2" tall and weighs barely 30 pounds soaking wet. You can count all his ribs he's so skinny. I'm not obsessed with his weight but he can't afford to lose much either. After getting his adenoids out he did not eat well for a week and lost some weight. I just want to build him up and get him nice and healthy before we go into this next surgery. I know how you feel after getting tonsils out and the last thing I wanted to do is eat, not even icecream! Any ideas would be great.

Thanks,
Karen

Cottage cheese. Cheese sticks. Avocado dip with those crackers. Hummus to dip other things in. Let him dip things in refried beans, maybe? Peanut butter?
