Struggling to ensure your vegan kids are getting enough protein, especially when they're picky eaters? 


It's a common concern for parents of plant based kids. 


But what if the secret to nutrition isn't about overhauling their diet, but simply working with their current likes and dislikes?


In this episode, I discuss the challenge of packing more plant based protein into the diets of vegan children with limited palates. It's a challenge I've tackled head-on in my own home, and I'm here to share that solution with you!


With practical advice and simple tips, we'll explore how to enhance the nutritional content into the foods they already love, focusing on plant-based protein sources. From the power of nuts and seeds to the surprising protein content in everyday vegan meals, I'll show you that ensuring your child gets the nutrients they need doesn't have to be a battle.


Plus, I'll share why protein powders and bars might not be the best solution for young kids and provide you with resources and delicious vegan recipes high in protein that make meal planning a joy.


Don't let mealtime become a stressor. 


Discover how to confidently navigate your vegan child's dietary needs and help them get the adequate amount of vegan protein!
