Meal Ideas
Vegetarian Meal Plans For Kids
A week's worth of vegetarian meal plans for back-to-school!
Everyone can benefit from a lunchbox full of nutrients, so we shopped the aisles and skipped over the meat department to fill our lunchboxes with fresh produce & energizing grains. These lunches engage the senses from vitamin A to Z. It’s so colorful, too!
When going vegetarian, remember:
- Do your research and seek out nutrients naturally in plant sources
- Eggs, dairy, and whole grains offer plenty of protein
- Legumes are just as substantial as meat
- Incorporate iron-rich foods (broccoli, leafy greens) into your meals
- Include vitamin C with every meal to facilitate iron absorption
- Be careful not to indulge in sugary, saturated foods to compensate for calories
