I'm hashtag blessed, that Jack has a big appetite and likes all food so far. He is almost 15 months old, where did the time go?! He's always been a good eater because all he's ever been given is real food. We rarely give him something processed unless it's a non gmo organic baby food pouch lol, is that processed?!
I get lots of questions about our diet/lifestyle and I get some concern about protein and so on...If you didn't know that plant foods have protein then… SURPRISE!! They do.
I love to share our diet and some go-to meals so I put together this daily menu for you to check out! Please don't be shy if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
I do again want to preface that Jack is a huge eater, so these portion sizes may vary from child to child.
Smoothie-1 ½ cups unsweetened original Ripple milk, 4-5 strawberries, 1 banana, ½ cup spinach, 1tbsp peanut butter.
*The only liquid I do after his milk in the smoothie is water.
Small bowl of rice cereal. I use the Happy Baby Organics brand because it's high in Iron and B12. Both important on a vegan diet.
Puffs, again I like the Happy Baby Organics brand because they're high in B12. I'm usually teaching Stroller Strides so puffs are an easy snack for Jack in the stroller.
I'll give 3 examples of common meals I give him.
Black beans, butternut squash, and half an avocado.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwich with a side of blueberries.
1. Red lentils, broccoli, and butternut squash.
2. Black beans with bruschetta and avocado.
3. Spaghetti with tempeh or tofu.
