Sneaky Vegan Vegetables Recipes for Kids | Zardyplants


Hey, Reader!

Sometimes your little ones turn into picky eaters. It happens to all of us; Paul would only eat the cheese off pizza for a while and Liz would only eat bowls of olives for dinner. If your kids (or anyone in your life) won't eat their veggies, you can always hide them beneath/inside something more exciting. Some of the sauces may be green, but surely there are other explanations for that... Anyway, below are some recipes we think can help you get some more veggies into your meals!

Recipes That DEFINITELY Don't Have Veggies

Satisfying and oh-so-delicious, this Easy Vegan Ragu is a plant protein-packed weeknight meal. It only takes 30 minutes to make this family-friendly, hidden veggie, healthy recipe.

Green Pea Pasta

Green Pea Pasta is a comforting bowl of pasta with a super creamy sauce and bright, vibrant flavors. This easy and quick 15 minute recipe features simple ingredients, is vegan friendly, and perfect for busy weeknights.

Broccoli Pasta Sauce

Broccoli Pasta Sauce is a super easy and tasty way to sneak more vegetables in your whole family's food. Just steam or air fry your broccoli florets and then blend them with the other ingredients and you'll have an amazingly creamy sauce. Make it with frozen or fresh broccoli!

This Mushroom Lentil Loaf is so tasty and has such an amazing texture! It's also loaded with hidden veggies and it's perfect for meal prep or dinner. You can also pack the mixture into muffin tins or even a mini muffin tin and bake for less time (until lightly browned) and it will be even more kid-friendly!

Vegan Egg Muffins

Flavorful, filling, and fluffy, these Vegan Egg Muffins are fantastic for meal prep and made with JUST Egg (substitutions available). These customizable little vegan egg cups are perfect for savory breakfast lovers and picky eaters alike, and they’re loaded with veggies and protein.

That's all for now. Hope meal time is easier for your family with recipes.

This dessert is flavorful, satisfying, and really easy to make. And of...
