I've been feeding my 4 kids a plant based diet (mostly) for 9 weeks now! There has been a lot of work, a lot of trying new things, a lot of variety, a lot mess in the kitchen, some frustration and a lot of "thumbs down". However there has been some amazing "thumbs up"! Here is a list of my kids' top vegan choices so far: (I'm pleasantly surprised at the number of successes I've found with the kids. There's a great variety, lots of protein and veggies. This plant based thing is catching on!!)
