Our first garden picnic of the year 🌞 Making the most do this beautiful weather and spending as much time outside as possible! Lunch was sandwiches (pb&j for the girls and cheese and cucumber for me), pom bears, strawberries, cucumber and cheese. And I enjoyed a @greencolauk 😊 (ad-gifted) Can't wait for many more picnics and hopefully plenty more sunshine...I think we are definitely due some nice weather this month! _______________________________ ___________________________ #veganfamily #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #crueltyfree #thefutureisvegan #veganlife #veganactivist #veganmeals #veganfood #vegancooking #vegan #veganparent #veganmum #veganmom #veganmama #veganlunch #veganchildren #vegankids #vegancooking #easyveganmeals #whatveganseat #raisingvegankids #picnic #veganpicnic
Curry night... It was chickpea and vegan @quorn_uk pieces (I checked the packet 5 times after last week's incident 🙈) curry for tea last night, with rice, naan and coconut yogurt. The girls love a good curry, just like their mum and Athena had a second plate 😊 __________________________________ #veganfamily #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #crueltyfree #thefutureisvegan #veganlife #veganactivist #veganmeals #veganfood #vegancooking #vegan #veganparent #veganmum #veganmom #veganmama #veganlunch #veganchildren #vegankids #vegancooking #easyveganmeals #whatveganseat #raisingvegankids #veganchild #vegancurry #babyledwraning #veganbabyledweaning #vegantoddler

After 6 years of putting it off & being BLATANTLY disobedient, God finally hit me with the final chin check this year likeeeee “you gonna do it now or never?”. I’ll be honest, I’ve gotten comfortable with short form content, but as of late I’ve fallen out of love with it & have been feeling the tug on my spirit to transition into more long form content for deeper connection with y’all. So here we are, restarting my YouTube journey for the umpteenth time & I’m actually excited to embark on this journey with y’all, let y’all into my unconventional world & embrace long form content. I’ve shared lifestyle tips on here for a while, but being able to share more in depth I feel will be a lot better. A friend recommended a YouTube book to me years ago when I mentioned that I was interested in getting serious about it, so I bought the book used from Amazon and when I opened it this bookmark was in it *talk about a confirmation* 😮💨😮💨😮💨 This is your friendly reminder to start that thing that God has placed on your heart, don’t worry about how or why, that’s for God to orchestrate — all he needs is your YES & the rest will be taken care of. Comment “LINK” & I’ll send you the link to the video for you to watch & subscribe to my channel. We’ll be talking all things pregnancy, wellness, self care, motherhood and holistic living✨ #pregnancy #pregnantlife #veganmama #blackvegansofinstagram #blackvegansofig #veganfamily #blackvegancommunity #blackvegansrock #raisingvegankids

Dominique Wulf is moeder van een vegan peuter en voedingsdeskundige met een focus op plantaardig eten🌿 Vanuit haar passie en overtuiging begon ze steeds meer te delen op haar Instagram-pagina @kokenvoorkleintjes🍴 Voor Dominique is plantaardig opvoeden namelijk de enige logische keuze die er is. Ze kan zich voorstellen dat je niet goed weet waar te beginnen, snel terugvalt op vegan burgers en twijfels hebt of je kinderen wel voldoende voedingsstoffen binnenkrijgen💭 Als je zin hebt om vol zelfvertrouwen met het hele gezin (meer) plantaardig te eten dan is deze lezing wat je nodig hebt🙌🏼 Dominique zorgt dat je na de lezing de basics over voeding kent, je weet welke voedingsstoffen extra aandacht nodig hebben, hoe je volwaardige maaltijden samenstelt en welke supplementen handig zijn🥗 #thegreenshift #veganlentemarkt #detoekomstisplantaardig #thefutureisplantbased #lezing #talk #vegantalk #veganspreker #kokenvoorkleintjes #veganopvoeden #veganopvoeding #veganchildren #veganbabies #raisingvegankids

Breakfast- berry and cinnamon porridge with soya milk Lunch - peanut butter wrap, strawberries and Easter chocolate Dinner - chickpea curry with @quorn_uk vegan pieces, coconut yogurt, rice and naan Supper - she asked for a fruit salad 🍓 She also had a few snacks throughout the day. ___________________________ #veganfamily #veganfortheanimals #veganfortheplanet #crueltyfree #thefutureisvegan #veganlife #veganactivist #dairyfree #veganmeals #veganfood #vegancooking #vegan #veganparent #veganmum #veganmom #veganmama #veganlunch #veganchildren #vegankids #vegancooking #easyveganmeals #whatveganseat #raisingvegankids #veganchild #veganbreakfast #vegandinner
It’s been hard to share because truthfully food hasn’t been something I’ve felt connected to at all. 🌱Feeding another human & introducing them to food (after exclusively feeding them one thing for months) can be extremely overwhelming. 🥑Even though my daughter’s been eating solid for 7/8 months now. She is constantly changing. One day she will easily eat a PB&j sandwich but the next toss it on the floor. It can be disheartening too when we spend all this time cooking up something for them to not eat it. ✨I know most of it has been hard because I haven’t been in my own space or flow. On top of that the world got all shook up & I’ve been in flight mode most of the time; running circles in my mind. 💛There are moments of intense grief, low energy, and self judgment. Mothers constantly question if we are making the best decision for our families. Even now trying to raise a vegetarian/vegan child there is so much that comes up! Within myself but also with others making comments about how I choose to raise our family. Questions that arise for me are… “Should I be imposing my belief of being vegan/vegetarian on my daughter?” “Is it actually the best diet for us?” “What is the right decision to keeping us healthy & balanced?” 🤍I believe that we should eat what feels the best in our bodies & what aligns with our souls! As pieces of my life start to come back & I find my ground I hope to share more. 😘 I’m feeling some what better & slowly coming back into my creative flow.

Stop the protein obsession! Yes... I said it🫢 Children need protein, but they don’t require as much as adults. As a pediatrician, I have never seen protein deficiency in a child in the US... not even once! Here’s a breakdown of total protein needs by age: 👉🏼 Infants (0-12 months): Aim for around 11 grams/day. Breast milk or formula is the primary source of nutrition. As your baby starts solids, introduce plant-based protein sources like pureed legumes, tofu, and iron-fortified cereals. 👉🏼 Toddlers (1-3 years): Growing toddlers require approximately 13 grams of protein per day. Include protein-rich snacks like nut butter on whole-grain toast, plant-based yogurt, and small servings of beans or lentils. 👉🏼 Preschoolers (4-6 years): Protein needs to increase to about 19 grams per day. Diversify meals with whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins like peas, quinoa, and seeds. 👉🏼 School-age children (7-10 years): Aim for 28 grams of protein daily. Introduce a variety of plant-based proteins such as edamame, chickpeas, and plant-based burgers to keep meals exciting and nutritious. 👉🏼Preteens and Teens (11-18 years): Protein requirements vary with age and gender. Generally, 34-46 grams per day is recommended. Encourage a balance of protein sources, incorporating tofu, tempeh, and a mix of legumes into meals. Save this and share with your parent friends! -Dr. Monica . . . . #nutrition #healthyfood #wholefoods #mightyroots #healthyrecipesforkids #veganmadeeasy #livegreenhealthy #kidsmealsideas #raisingvegankids #veganparenting #plantbasedproteins #veganlifeisgood #plantbasedkids #vegankids [plant-based protein, protein for kids, nutrition for kids, vegan family, vegan kids]

I made these two perfect humans. Isn't that crazy?! I grew them! Just bloody look at them! They're my perfect, wonderful, adorable, wild, crazy, wee girls, and I couldn't possibly love them more . . . I hope the love that they have for one another continues throughout the rest of their lives. I wish more than anything that they continue to have a strong, open, loving relationship with me, no matter what their age. I want them to know how loved and respected they are, and I want them to feel safe to tell me anything and everything that they want/need to . . . Being a mother isn't easy! I try my best, and hope that I am doing good.

Are your kids constantly getting sick? I want to share something with you 👇🏼 I spent the first 5 years of my career in a busy Pediatric Emergency Department where I saw it ALL. So many health issues facing our kids today can be prevented or significantly improved by simple lifestyle changes that don’t have to be complicated! So, how can we change that and raise healthier and happier kids? Plant-based nutrition. It’s not just about what’s on their plate; it’s about nurturing their immune system for resilience and vitality. Why? Plant-based diets brim with essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytonutrients. These powerhouses fortify the body’s defenses. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes form the cornerstone of this nourishing approach. Want to learn more? Visit my blog for free plant-based nutrition resources, or book a seat for my Pediatric Nutrition Power Hour!

Boys have friends over and made them pitta breads with hummus and vegan shawarma + a tofu sausage and some crunchy veggies. Dessert was spelt wrap with vegan Nutella. One of the kids said it was their first time ever eating vegan food. I asked him if he ever eats a carrot, or oats or bread, beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, veggies, fruits etc etc and helped him understand that he eats vegan food all the time. In the car the friend said that another friend said to my son that he’s skinny and small and that’s because he doesn’t eat meat. My son never told me this but now in the car he told me what he then replied “well I’m one of the fastest in the beep (running) test, and you are one of the slower ones so how do you explain that?” Proud of my boys for not just navigating these encounters but for feeling good about how they eat because they know that 1. You can thrive on healthy vegan foods 2. The meat and dairy industry are the most cruel industries and if people would know the story behind their “food” it would make them sick and they’d probably look for alternatives 3. World hunger could be solved if the grains that grow in poor countries would be fed to the hungry ones and not given to animals raised to become food for people in developed countries 4. The meat and dairy industry is the largest source of greenhouse-gas emissions. I’m sad that my boys have to learn from young age that what they see and learn isn’t always right but it also prevents them from being brainwashed and helps them become strong independent human beings who will know the truth and act upon🙏🏽 #vegankids #raisingveganboys #raisingvegankids #veganparenting #veganmum #veganmom # #veganhealth #veganeducator #veganyogi #weareone 🧒🏻🐙🌎💚

Why do we need to be strong role models for our kids? 👇 1) Behavioural mirror: Children often mimic the behaviours they observe. By being strong role models, parents provide a positive example for their children to emulate, fostering healthy habits and values. 2) Emotional guidance: Parents serve as emotional anchors, demonstrating resilience and coping strategies in the face of challenges. Strong role models help children navigate emotions, teaching them how to handle adversity with grace and determination. 3) Values transmission: Parents play a pivotal role in instilling values. Being strong role models ensures the transmission of essential virtues like kindness, integrity, and responsibility, shaping children into compassionate and principled individuals. #veganparenting #rolemodels #veganfamily #veganfamilies #veganchildren #raisingvegans #raisingvegankids #plantbasedparenting #vegancommunity #vegansofig #vegansofinstagram #vegansofinsta #veganlife #veganlifestyle🌱 #veganinclusion #raisingkindhumans #plantbased #plantbasedfamily #vegan #veganliving

They're so sweet with Violet too ❤️ . . . #friends #friendship #veganpals #veganfamilies #growinguptogether #growingupvegan #vegankids #veganchildren #raisingvegankids #raisingthefuture #raisingveganchildren #growinguptoofast
If you are a parent and are wondering if a vegan diet is nutritionally sufficient and healthy for your child, the answer is yes! The British Medical Journal (a peer reviewed publication) recently published this article about vegan diets in children: “The study showed vegan children had lower fat mass, blood cholesterol and fasting glucose levels. Vegan children had higher intakes of some beneficial nutrients including fibre, vitamin C, folate, carotenoids, unsaturated fats, magnesium, all a reflection of the consumption of healthy plant foods. In contrast, those following an omnivorous diet were consuming higher than recommended amounts of saturated fat, free sugar and insufficient fibre.” “A recent review of vegan diets in children brings together data from 437 publications with most studies confirming that vegan children have normal growth rates, well within the normal range and a number of benefits that relate to a lower intake of saturated fat, the increased consumption of fibre and phytonutrients and a lower body weight and body fat.” https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2792/rr If you have any questions about raising vegan kids, the 2024 Syracuse Vegan Living Program has answers! One of our co-organizers, Jim Thompson, has two vegan kids (one of whom is also gluten-free), two of our presenters, Faith Rayland and Coach Ben Rayland, have five vegan kids, and a couple of our panelists, Jacqueline Lalande Cappello and Theresa Stowell, are also mothers of vegan children. They are all eager to offer support, resources and encouragement to other parents considering veganism for their families! #veganforhealth #veganchildren #raisingvegankids #kindtoallkinds #compassionatelifestyle
I batch cooked some tvp chilli and some tvp bolognese sauce earlier on this afternoon. I had chilli, and the girls had bolognese with red lentil pasta . . . Tom is currently dropping Boo off halfway to meet her dad. Every second Fri we have a bit of a mad rush to get everything ready and to eat dinner before Tom and Boo leave. Tom has a vegan peri peri chicken and romaine wrap with Sriracha mayo to eat in the car on his way home, as he wasn't hungry enough at 3.45pm to eat dinner . . . Boo was extremely emotional at leaving this weekend. I hate being apart from her, and she really struggles being away from me, Tom and Violet. I can't wait until Sunday when she's home! . . . #vegandinner #raisingthefuture #raisingvegankids #raisingminivegans #raisingveganchildren #vegankids #veganchildren #veganchilli #veganbolognesesauce #soyamince #anythingyoucaneaticaneatvegan #veganfamily #whatveganseat #tvp #tvpmince #udon #doubanjiang #batchcooking

Luna's friend came for a playdate earlier (his mum is my pal, and that's how Boo ended up becoming friends with her son). When they went home for dinner, they said they were having veg, tatties & sausages to eat, so Boo requested to have the same 😊 . . . #cute #toocute #veganchild #vegandinner #sixyearsold #veganfamily #whatveganslooklike #raisingthefuture #raisingvegankids #raisingminivegans #veganchild #veganchildren #anythingyoucaneaticaneatvegan
Real life/natural photos are always my favourite ones ❤️ . . . I'm so lucky that Tom takes so many photos of me and the girls. This should be the norm! So many mums spend too much time behind the camera. It needs to change! No mum should have to ask or beg for these special memories. I wish every husband/partner was as incredible as mine is ❤️ . . . #mygirls #mykids #threewomen #mytwofavourites #family #love #veganfamily #candid #natural #reallife #realphotos #realmotherhood #realparenting #realparenthood #love #happy #family #lucky #whatveganslooklike #veganmum #veganmam #vegantoddler #veganchildren #veganchild #raisingthefuture #raisingvegankids #raisingveganchildren #raisingminivegans #thefutureisvegan
