Plant-Based Recipes for Kids: Child-Friendly, Meat-Free Meals & Snacks for Tweens, Teens and Juniors!

Description

From breakfasts, lite bites, mains, and snacks, tempt your tweens and teens with this collection of 40 plant-based recipes for juniors! It’s essential that your kids get all the vitamins and nutrients they need to help them grow. But this doesn’t mean you can’t introduce plant-based foods into their daily diet. Bring about gradual changes. You can do this by eliminating certain meat products from your kid’s diet. For instance, switch sausages from pork to protein-rich tofu and whole milk to cholesterol-free plant milk. In addition, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and avocados are a great source of fat, and fruit and vegetables are vitamin and mineral-rich. Another great way to do this is by making a full or partial plant-based eating plan fun. Encourage your tweens, teens and juniors to not only pick out new foods to try but also let them help you prepare recipes. Adding more plant-based foods to your family’s eating plan is an investment in your child’s long-term health. What’s more, following a plant-based diet it’s good for the planet!
