EAT | 3 Plant-Based Meals for Kid's LUNCHBOXES!

[@iwasteallmytimehere]

LOVE IT!!!❤❤❤❤ I also love how you phrased it "more plant based meals" instead of saying your family was going "vegan". Some people get so overwhelmed and think they have to go all or nothing, but every little but helps the animals & the environment so much!! Not to mention, they are usually on the healthier side (and delicious as you have clearly shown in this video!)!! Also, I cannot commend you enough for encouraging / supporting Avery's wish to eat more plant based! That is just so awesome! So many vegan/vegetarians have memories of our mom's saying "yeah right, this is just a phase" or "you eat what I make" and picking around meat, only eating sides, or making our own separate food, for years and feeling like black sheep. You are sending the message that her views matter and that your family is united in not only supporting her, but giving it a try, right there with her!! Seriously makes me so happy I teared up, because even if y'all don't stick with it, it is something all of your kids will remember for the rest of their lives!

[@snookieslimez3856]

For sure and it makes it less overwhelming for beginner vegans lol 😂

@@emmygrace03 help animals by not killing them for food and helping the environment because it takes less natural resources to create vegan/vegetarian products. Hope that helped :)

[@caoimhed]

@@emmygrace03 it's quite a controversial topic but basically some people think that we shouldn't eat dairy and/or meat products because they believe that all living things are equal & that we shouldn't kill other living things to eat when we can get protein from other sources (correct me on this if i'm wrong) and also that to lessen climate change we should eat less dairy and meat products as they use up more resources and give off more green house gases than vegan food. Then other people believe that we should eat meat because it was the way we were created and also because it had always been said to them since a young age that meat has to be eaten to be healthy even though humans don't

[@VexenStick]

Laken Graham I’m honestly never going vegetarian or vegan. It would be good to try for a week but it’s my main source of protein I’m not that healthy ._.

[@bridget4389]

Verity Lindsay I’m vegetarian, and there are plenty of things you can eat for protein when you don’t eat meat! Eggs are great, and you can make omelets and scrambled eggs too. Milk is also very great for protein, and you can add chocolate and strawberry syrup. Cheese is also great, (because of the milk in it) and you can make grilled cheese, Mac and cheese and plenty other things. Another thing is beans too! Sorry if this is really long, I just want to show people that being a vegetarian in great for the environment, and it is very easy!

[@VexenStick]

Crazy Bridget Yes that is definitely true, but I like having a variety to my diet, I really hate eating the same thing over an over for days on end, you made a really good point though. Eggs are one of my favourite things!

Thanks Claire!

[@lavenderhazel5125]

If you are aiming for some more plant based options I HIGHLY recommend Morningstar and lightlife products. I bought morning star bacon and it tasted exactly like bacon but it is vegetarian. This might help with those “meat cravings” that you get when you first transition into eating more plant based. I vegetarian so it was definitely a hard transition but there are so many alternatives so it becomes easier!!

[@davidmichaelhenry]

It’s so great that you are supporting Avery’s wish! It makes a big difference. When I was a kid my parents supported me and it made all the difference! It does!

[@tracyforbes4555]

Wooo! We're plant based. I love that you have this video! Keep em coming. And how cool that Avery is pushing it. I went vegetarian in middle school and it's been 20+ years so I was super lucky to have parents who didn't act like it was just a phase or anything. So great that you're supportive.

I made tacos this week using black beans and corn instead of meat! As a recent college graduate (but still pre-professional) sometimes even the simplicity of swapping out simple plant based options instead of meat really helps the bank as well as the environment!

[@neelagomes8734]

💗 Another great opportunity is life science test prep. My 4th grader loves salads (completely opposite of her siblings). Getting the kids into planting seeds and planting is so fun for all of us and helps my 4th grader really understand what is being taught in science class. Another win, she has little helpers growing her favorite food.
