Kid-Friendly Recipes

Keeping kids happy at mealtime is not always easy. Whether your kid is already plant-based, you’re helping them transition, or you just want to introduce more plant-based meals into their rotation, below are a few delicious kid-friendly recipes to consider.

Breakfast: Let them know they’re extra special - have this Blueberry Molasses Breakfast Cake for breakfast or even these super simple, healthy cookies! Or, try healthy takes on sweet classics:

• Bananas Foster Overnight Oats
• Coconut French Toast with Maple-Berry Syrup

Lunch: You can take any of these kid-friendly recipes from the Meal Planner and add a side of apple slices, grapes, banana, baby carrots, cherry tomatoes, sliced bell pepper, roasted sweet potato or any one of your child's favorites!

• Edamame and Avocado Wrap
• PB&J Rice Cakes
• Crunchy Chickpea Salad Sandwich

Dinner: For dinner, we depend on filling meals with familiar flavors.

• Broccoli 'Cheese' Baked Potato
• Polenta Pizza with Cashew Mozzarella
• Simple Lentil Bolognese

Snacks: Make these Peanut Butter Cookie Dough bites together as a fun activity. Or, try these crowd-pleasing Churro Waffle Sticks with Date-Caramel Dip.

It's really great to get kids involved early and often in healthy food choices. We definitely recommend letting them help choose produce or recipes and help prepare to the extent they can participate safely! Kids aren't always going to love what you love, but by exposing them to nourishing food, you're helping set a great foundation. 😊
