Plant Based Kid-Friendly Recipes

These tried-and-true recipes are a hit with kids, but they’re just as tasty for adults. Secret swaps turn treats like my jelly-filled cinnamon sugar muffins or veggie chili into a healthy option for the little ones.

All of these kid friendly recipes are plant-based, and include guidelines for special diets (vegan, gluten free, and occasionally nut free).

Need fresh ideas for the morning? Start their day off right with my list of high-protein vegan breakfast ideas, or sneak in some greens with my broccoli smoothie recipe.

Our easy and healthy snacks for kids are a great option for lunchboxes or snack time. And for dessert, try my lower-sugar vegan carrot cake cupcakes to wrap up the day with a sweet treat!
