What is the best vegan diet for my children to eat?
A varied plant-based diet, combined with adequate physical activity, is a sound basis for a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages. Thousands of healthy children have been raised on a balanced vegan diet. This will include a reliable source of B12 – such as fortified soya milk or nutritional yeast. Low calorie fruits and vegetables can be insufficiently calorie-dense for a young child. The Vegan Society publishes “Feeding Your Vegan Infant – With Confidence” by Sandra Hood, a state registered vegan dietitian, which offers comprehensive guidance on raising vegan children (from pre-conception to early school years).
