\"\"<\/p>\n

Being a family of four and a mother to two mini vegans, I am often asked, \u201cWhat do you feed your children?\u201d\u00a0 Nutrition is important when it comes to feeding children, you want to make sure they are getting the nutrients they need to grow up strong and healthy.\u00a0 As a parent to two vegan boys, ages 3 and 1.\u00a0 We have at times had our hurdles, but never gave up on our vegan way of living.\u00a0 We kept moving forward.<\/p>\n

When I first became pregnant with our oldest, I interviewed a pediatrician.\u00a0 He was impressed that I wanted to interview him and a bit surprised.\u00a0 I told him, that he would be caring for my child, so I had some questions to ask and wanted to make sure he understood a vegan lifestyle, feeding vegan kids, diet, etc. \u00a0He was very understanding and supportive of our children being raised vegan.<\/p>\n

Of course the first year of raising a vegan baby was quite simple, breast milk is the main meal.\u00a0 Once our little one hit 4 months we started on cereal, which is already vegan, no labels to read.\u00a0 Then we moved onto the pureed fruits, vegetables, and soon grains.\u00a0 It seemed like a simple transition.<\/p>\n

Once our guy turned 1 we started to introduce new foods.\u00a0 Peanut butter came into play, avocadoes, beans, and more grains.\u00a0 This is about the time a picky child will start to appear.\u00a0 It can be frustrating for a vegan parent.\u00a0 No one wants to feed his or her kid PB&J everyday. As much as your kid may not mind it, you know they need more options.\u00a0 Out of our two boys, our oldest is the picky one.\u00a0 The youngest will eat anything.<\/p>\n

As a mother, I became creative in the kitchen.\u00a0 Or sneaky in the mind of an older child.\u00a0 Luckily, my kids aren\u2019t old enough to know that yet. Meals I have created that are healthy and delicious are the following:<\/p>\n

Breakfast<\/strong>-Pancakes, fruit filled with ground flax mixed in to them.\u00a0 You can also add oats. Homemade muffins and breakfast bread, once again adding flax and oats, or other whole grains.\u00a0 Quinoa is great to mix into muffins.\u00a0 It is a wonderful source of calcium.\u00a0 Incredible Hulk Smoothies are a favorite with boys especially.\u00a0 They are green, which makes them fun.\u00a0 We add soy yogurt, a splash of orange juice, a handful of greens (usually spinach), a tablespoon of ground flax, a tablespoon or two of nut butter, banana, blueberries or strawberries, and a splash of soymilk.\u00a0 You can also add a whole avocado.\u00a0 This is a good source of fat.\u00a0 This smoothie has turned out to be a winner, just don\u2019t let your older kids see you put the greens in there.\u00a0 That is an automatic turn off in their eyes.\u00a0 We have made these smoothies on the days when our oldest decided \u201cno\u201d was the answer to whatever we offered him.\u00a0 It offers a large serving of fruits and vegetables as well as the orange juice helping aid in absorption of iron.<\/p>\n

Lunch- <\/strong>PB&J, an old standby.\u00a0 Bean and vegan cheese quesadillas with finely chopped spinach thrown into the mix.\u00a0 Brown rice with mixed vegetables.\u00a0 Quinoa with pintos.\u00a0 Vegan mac and cheese mixed with chickpeas or mixed vegetables.\u00a0 Pasta with sauce(We made a 5 vegetable marinara.\u00a0 The kids think it is plain pasta sauce, when in reality, they are also getting a handful of veggies.) Bagel pizzas, once again using the 5 vegetable marinara.<\/p>\n

Snacks-<\/strong>Mashed avocado and tortilla chips.\u00a0 Hummus and crackers.\u00a0 Crunchy chickpeas.\u00a0 Baked polenta fries, they are shaped like French fries but a much healthier version.\u00a0 Kale chips.\u00a0 Fresh fruit.\u00a0 Fresh vegetables with a vegan dressing.\u00a0 Kids seem to like the crunch of fresh carrots and celery.\u00a0 Celery with peanut butter. Marinated and baked tofu cubes.\u00a0 Bagels with peanut butter.<\/p>\n

Dinner-<\/strong>This meal is similar to what you could feed your kid for lunch. Ideally we would love to all eat the same meal, but it doesn\u2019t turn out that way sometimes. Pasta with a mild peanut sauce mixed with edamame, baked tofu cubes and sesame seeds.\u00a0 Lasagna.\u00a0 Quinoa with pineapple chunks, sweet peas, and a splash of tamari once again topped with sesame seeds.\u00a0 Mild enchiladas. Veggies topped with a creamy nooch sauce.\u00a0 Mockloaf,and no-meat balls.<\/p>\n

One thing our two little guys have taught me about feeding vegan children is patience.\u00a0 I am not a doctor or nutrition expert nor do I claim to be one. I have read a lot, done my research, asked questions and was happy once the oldest turned two so he could take a vitamin to ensure he got his B12. My boys are big and healthy vegans. People are always impressed by their size and even more shocked when they hear they live meat-free.<\/p>\n

Introducing kids to new foods can be tricky.\u00a0 Growing a garden has helped.\u00a0 There is something fun about picking your own vegetables in the mind of a child.\u00a0 They seem more apt to try it.\u00a0 Having a CSA share has helped as well. They love opening the box of fresh organic vegetables and seeing the \u201csurprise\u201d for the week.\u00a0 And then there is the \u201ctry it once\u201d rule. A kids will usually turn their nose up to something new without evening knowing if they like it or not.\u00a0 My rule, just try it once.\u00a0 Having your kid help cook adds fun to meals.\u00a0 They seem proud of what they made and want to persevere, share and eat it with the rest of the family.<\/p>\n

Eating and feeding vegan children can sometimes be a challenge.\u00a0 It can be done. Just keep and always have a smile while doing so.\u00a0 Best of luck and here\u2019s to happy, healthy, vegan families.<\/p>\n
