Happy, healthy plant-based families
So you’ve gone vegan, but now you’re worried about what supplements you need to be taking. If you believe the meat industry, then you need to supplement everything from protein to B12 and everything in between. On the other hand, the purist Whole Foods Plant Based vegans are telling you […]
One of the most common worries parents have is whether their kids can get enough iron on a vegan diet. We are schooled from very early on to believe that iron comes from red meat, and we need to eat red meat to get enough iron. But is iron really […]
This vegan banana and berry smoothie is my go to breakfast at the moment while I get back into the swing of school drop offs. We are definitely very out of practice at getting out of the house on time after nine weeks of home schooling, so I need something […]
Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough batter probably isn’t the first thing that springs to mind when you’re trying to think of healthy vegan lunchbox snacks, but this recipe should!

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. […]
This Kid Friendly Edamame Dip is a great recipe that’s high in iron, protein and a super calorie booster. This recipe combines edamame beans (young soy beans) with cashews to make a smooth and creamy dip that your kids will love. The mild taste of this recipe makes it great […]
This oil free sweet potato hummus is a great recipe to have on hand for snacks, sandwiches, school lunches and more. I always make up a batch at the start of the week and store it in the fridge for easy lunches and snacks. You can use this hummus as […]
