10 Awesome Vegan Kid-Friendly Meals

 1.Green Mac & Cheese

2. Red Lentil Bolognese

This red lentil bolognese recipe 100% needs to be on your family meal plan! It is a favourite vegan kid meal in our home.

3. Cashew Mac & Cheese

Another pasta dish well liked in my home is this vegan cashew mac& cheese. I also make a pumpkin/potato or carrot/potato plant-based mac and cheese dish loved by my 3 kids.

4. Sushi

Sushi is also a great vegan kid meal. We either make our own or buy them. Avocado, cucumber, tofu and Teriyaki jackfruit are our favourite fillings for sushi.

5. Choc Chip Banana pancakes

These yummy vegan choc chip banana pancakes make a regular appearance in our weekly menu for breakfast.

I sometimes even include them in their lunchboxes or for a fun dinner. For example, I grew up having pancakes or crepes for dinner once a year and it was the most fun as a child.

6. Noodle Soup

My daughter Eloise loves this noodle soup in winter. Feel free to swap the cauliflower for a vegetable your child likes or cut it into tiny pieces.

7. Smoothies

Smoothies are also a great breakfast option or snack for vegan kids. Check out my 3 easy smoothie recipes.

Now as a busy mum of 3 I know dinner time can be a struggle. Once you have a few meals your whole family enjoys stick to them. Make a note on your phone of your family go-to meals and pick 2-3 each week that are similar.

Having a balance of loved, familiar meals and new recipes is important. Additionally this also helps removing headaches wondering what to cook for dinner.

On our personal family go-to meals you will find these vegan kid meals in rotation every month:

• tofu stir fry with soba noodles;
• lentil dhal;
• different pastas;
• homemade pizzas;
• vegan nachos and tacos;
• soups;
• quesadillas;
• avocado sandwiches;

I hope you will find this post useful to get new ideas for vegan kid meals for the whole family!
