50 vegan kids recipes pinterest collage

I had way too much fun putting together this round up of vegan kid recipes! I love lists, categories and getting organized with my ideas. Like, so much.

Our family went vegan when the twins were about 2 years old (they’re 10 now). It was such a huge change, and both of the kids were quite picky and small, so I worried about them getting enough calories and nutrition. I found it challenging to dig through vegan cookbooks and recipes online, trying to find anything they might eat.

So many recipes were…… strange, at least to newly vegan kids with lots of quinoa, kale and other ingredients I was unfamiliar with. A huge part of my goal with the Nora Cooks blog is to share vegan recipes that picky kids and non-vegans will love.

If you are newly vegan or trying to be more plant based and are having a hard time figuring out what to cook that you’re kids will actually eat, I hope this round up of vegan kid recipes will help! I’ve gathered recipes from my website as well as some friends around the internet to bring you 50 recipes that are totally kid friendly. Here you will find many main dish ideas, as well as breakfasts, snacks, beverages and desserts.

For even more advice, make sure to check out this post I wrote with 10 Tips for Raising Plant Based Kids. 🙂
