It’s back to school here in Australia, and that means it’s also back to making nut free vegan school lunchboxes! Ugh. I think trying to come up with new school lunchbox ideas every week would be possibly the worst part of school (apart from possibly school traffic….). To make matters worse, both my kids’ schools…
One question that I see a lot is how do I get my vegan kids to eat beans? I think anyone would agree that a legume loving kid is the ultimate goal of vegan parenting. Unfortunately, some kids are super fussy and it remains an elusive goal for many of us… Beans, legumes and lentils…
These Vegan Chocolate Weetbix Balls are a healthy and vegan version of a childhood favourite. They are rich and chocolatey, with extra crunch from the Weetbix. My 3 year old has gone on another food strike, so I’m on the quest again to find super tempting, healthy snacks for him. I think I’ve managed it…
Creamy Berry Smoothie with Cauliflower, say what???? Cauliflower in a smoothie? I know it sounds completely crazy, but I promise you, you and your kids will never guess! This smoothie tastes like the creamiest berry smoothie, with the added bonus of more than a serve of veggies! This recipe was actually a request from one…
My two kids are definitely fussy eaters. One has issues with textures, and the other is generally too busy playing to consider eating. As a result, I have tried a lot of things to try to get my kids to eat. Just to make it more fun, what works for one, generally doesn’t work for…
These vegan spinach banana muffins don’t contain hidden veggies per say. They more take the approach of being so overtly full of veggies that it becomes a novelty. My kids love these muffins, but I think it’s mainly because it’s crazy to have a food that’s so green, but isn’t something boring like spinach (shhh…
Made with oats, cashews and flaxseeds, these oil free vegan pancakes are the perfect breakfast option for fussy kids. You can make a batch for a delicious weekend brunch, or even freeze them for easy weekday breakfasts. They’re really fast to make because you can just whip them up in the blender. My fussy two…
This oil free lentil bolognese recipe is a great quick and easy weeknight meal that your kids will love. It only takes 20 minutes to cook, and you can have it ready in the time it takes your pasta to cook. This recipe also makes a great transition meal if you’re new to a vegan…
These nut free muesli bars are a great option for school lunches, especially if your kids’ school is nut free like mine. The best part is, these nut free muesli bars require no baking, and take just 10 minutes to make. I’ve even been known to be drizzling chocolate over the top as I hurriedly…
Hands up, who has fussy kids? I certainly do! My six year old has sensory issues, and it has taken me five very long years to get him to eat a decent and varied diet. My two year old isn’t fussy, he just isn’t interested in food. He would much rather be jumping up and…
