Hi friends – here’s a round-up of what my 3 1/2 year old and 17/18 month old have been eating lately. All vegan/plant-based meals. You’ll notice that sometimes I just take a picture of one plate vs the two because you know… serving toddlers isn’t easy, haha! Sometimes I snap a pic as quickly as I can but both girls eat the same thing 99% of the time (just presented differently based on their age). Enjoy. x
Spaghetti, carrots, and grapes.Just Egg, mango, and pb & banana toast.lunch platters for the girls today! I like to add favorites along with some new things so they don’t feel too intimidated. in this case, the balsamic mushrooms were new & we are still working on zucchini. fiona liked the zucchini & willow ate the mushrooms… 🎉🎉🎉 and they ate everything else. willow in particular asked for thirds on the tofu sticks & seconds on the barley. and fruit is always a hit. Green dinosaur donuts. I veganized this recipe with maple syrup, non-dairy milk, and ground flax instead of an egg.Willow has LIFE cereal and mixed berries. Fiona has pumpkin oats with mixed berries.Almond butter and jam on sprouted bread, peach soy yogurt, and mango.Blueberry oat pancakes, berries, and banana.Vegan cheese and tofurky sandwich with Just mayo, blackberries, avocado, tomato, steamed carrots, and peach soy yogurt.Avocado toast, tofurky, steamed carrots, unsweetened cashew yogurt with mashed blackberries.Pumpkin mac & cheese, apples/pears, and broccoli.Snack time is crackers with mashed avocado and raisins for Willow. Fiona doesn’t get raisins yet, so she had crackers with avo only.My kids (and I) LOVE these simple breakfast cookies. I shared the recipe here.Pasta with peas, bamba puffs, and strawberries. Bamba puffs are a treat but so yummy – peanut butter puffs!Roasted veggie sauce with bowties, olives, and pineapple.Vegan french toast (love the Nora Cook’s Vegan recipe), banana, and strawberries.Soy yogurt with chia, blueberries, banana, and sprouted toast with Earth Balance.Cinnamon oats with ground flax, blueberries, and bananas.Tofu scramble, carrots with maple mustard sauce, avocado. Looks like breakfast but actually served this as lunch.Nacho night! Guac to dip, tomato, rice, and beans.Lentil soup with quinoa and pears.Fiona had the same but with some broccoli (she loves it, for now).Banana blueberry muffin for snack. I love the Oh She Glows recipe.Just Egg, Ezekiel cinnamon raisin toast with jam, blueberries, and avocado.
I love these ideas! These look primarily like breakfast and lunch (maybe not?). Do you serve them whatever you are eating for dinner or do you still provide a separate option? I’ve been doing BLW with my toddler with pretty mixed results and am looking for some new ideas!

Hi Jennifer!
These are a lot of breakfast and lunch, yes. The dinner routine is often too hectic and I forget. LOL But yes, I do serve a version of whatever we are having. If they don’t like it, that’s okay. I will try to always serve alongside something they do like, too. And if they don’t eat, I will give the a little snack before bed (like some toast with peanut butter or cereal). I hope this helps. xo
