[quote=Anonymous]My older kid (7) doesn’t really like meat (save for the occasional hot dog or burger at a cookout) so that is easy. He loves things like rice and beans, pasta, mashed sweet potatoes, lentil/leggie soups, homemade pizza with vegan cheese, impossible burgers, etc. I try to put protein powder in his smoothies or homemade “ice cream” (frozen bananas, coconut milk &protein powder blended) for an extra protein boost. I load both kids up on fruits & veggies by giving them a sort of charcuterie plate before their dinner to snack on (big plate with all kinds of cut up veggies and fruits on it). They usually demolish it. My little one (4) does like meat but is just as happy w non-meat, and loves salmon (particularly smoked salmon/lox), shrimp, and chickpeas, and the banza chickpea pasta. Anyway, point is make the fruits & veggies primary, figure out a protein source they will eat, and fill in around the edges with other foods they like. And no need to be religious about it- it’s ok for an occasional exception (like if you’re traveling and food options are extremely limited). [/quote]
