A plant-based diet can not only be healthy and sustainable, but also really delicious - even for the little ones in the family! Here are some simple and creative ideas that are guaranteed to be a hit with children and adults alike.
1. Vegan pancakes with applesauce and maple syrup
Pancakes are always a good idea! Just prepare them with plant-based milk and a ripe banana instead of an egg. Add a dollop of apple sauce and a little maple syrup - and you have a breakfast treat that also works wonderfully as an afternoon surprise.
2. Vegetable nuggets made from chickpeas and oat flakes
These nuggets are not only delicious, but also full of nutrients. Puree chickpeas, oatmeal and your favorite vegetables like carrots or peas into a mass, form small nuggets and bake them in the oven or fry them in a pan. They go perfectly with a dip like hummus or vegan yogurt.
3. Spaghetti with lentil bolognese
Who doesn't love spaghetti? Replace the classic Bolognese with a sauce made from red lentils, tomatoes and Italian spices. It's quick to make and provides a good portion of protein and fiber.
4. Homemade pizza with vegetables and vegan cheese
Get the whole family involved! Top pizza dough with tomato sauce, fresh vegetables such as peppers, zucchini or mushrooms and vegan cheese. This will make dinner a shared experience - and children will enjoy eating what they have helped to create themselves.
5. Marinated and breaded tofu cubes from the oven/air fryer with potato wedges and vegetable side dish
Tofu can do so much more than many people think! Cut it into cubes, marinate it with soy sauce and spices and roll it in breadcrumbs or crumbled cornflakes. In the air fryer/convection oven it becomes crispy and goes perfectly with potato wedges and steamed vegetables.
6. Fruit skewers with chocolate sauce
To top it all off, there is a dessert that everyone will love: fruit skewers! Thread fresh fruit like strawberries, grapes, bananas and melon onto skewers and serve with a vegan chocolate sauce for dipping. This also tastes great with date and chocolate nut cream.
