15 Vegetarian Recipes for Toddlers

15 Vegetarian Recipes for Toddlers, are crazy healthy, easy, and most importantly, delicious. Flavor is everything to my kid. If it tastes good, he’ll eat it. These are 15 vegetarian and vegan recipes that toddlers and kids will love! 

My mom got lucky with me in the fact that I’d eat anything. Even though I was her only vegetarian at the time (began that journey when I was 8), I was a human garbage disposal for everything else (was? … is – 😉  ). And, she very rarely cooked meat… Fast forwarding: My kid went from eating all veggies to eating none. This was incredibly depressing for me, as veggies are my ultimate fave! Well, next to my carb-o-holic, or more accurately, total carb whore, self. Now, I have to puree them in everything, and bribe him through chaotic fucking meltdowns to eat the teeeeeeniest piece of a veggie because I’m not giving up on that shit. I’m sick of eating pureed everything or having to make two separate meals. Fuck that. 

I’ve loved food from the moment I took my first bite, or so I assume. Teaching your kiddo that healthy food is tasty and will be their fuel for their body is soooo important! Imagine learning to play the piano at 30? Learning to ski, surf, or swim at 30? Possible? Totally. Difficult and arduous? Hell yes! When we learn how to do things when we are young, our path to ability and understanding is ridiculously easier. Teach your wee one/s to cook! Being in the kitchen together can be crazy fun! My little dude has an apron (though he’s usually naked – haha), a chef’s hat, and his own little kitchen tools. He loves helping me make his food. It’s rewarding as an adult, so imagine how rewarding it is when you’re a kid! Not to mention, the amazing bonding time with your kiddo. If you make it fun, it’s fun. If you make food good, it’s good. Simple as that. Vegetarian or vegan shouldn’t mean bland or difficult. Hopefully, these recipes will plant the seed to give you creative ideas of your own. If so, please share! Enjoy! -FGG
