Are you struggling to get your kids to eat more vegetables, especially with a vegan or plant-based diet? 


It can feel like an uphill battle when your little ones push away the healthiest parts of their meals. 


But what if I told you that you might be worrying too much about how many veggies they eat?


In this week’s podcast episode, I'm excited to share some enlightening insights and practical tips that will transform your approach to your kids' diet. Discover why vegan children might not need as many vegetables as you think, and learn how to seamlessly integrate nutritious veggies into their meals without the stress.


I'll explain the actual vegetable needs of vegan kids compared to omnivores, revealing why dinner might not be the best time for veggies and offering better alternatives throughout the day. 


I'll also discuss how to make vegetables a natural part of every meal to reduce resistance and encourage acceptance. This approach helps children view veggies as a normal, unremarkable part of eating, which can significantly ease mealtime battles.


Ready to ease your mealtime battles and ensure your children are nourished and happy?
