Nutrition for Vegan Kids (The Allsorts Pod Ep 77)

If you’re thinking about going vegan as a family, or you’re already vegan and expecting a wee one and wanting to raise them vegan, this is the episode for you!

As a plant-based dietitian and mom of 2, this is an episode I’ve been meaning to do for a while! There is a lot of misinformation about feeding kids a vegan diet…and a weird amount of negative headlines that have been attributed to vegan eating that were really parents not feeding their kids properly.

So I’m super excited to be chatting with registered dietitian Karla Moreno-Bryce RD, who focuses specifically on vegan pediatric nutrition, all about how to feed vegan kids well. The reality of fostering healthy growth and development isn’t all that different, whether your children are omnivores, vegetarian or vegan. Kids have specific nutrient needs, like protein or calcium, and you simply need to ensure that you are offering foods rich in those nutrients!

So in this episode, we get into specifics about nutrients of concern and which foods and supplements are essential for meeting their needs. It will help you get clearer on how to plan your family meals so that your kids thrive on a plant-based diet.
