If you’re looking to provide vegetarian food to your whole family, it isn’t always the easiest task. As we all know, children are sometimes picky eaters. Things get even more complicated when you take meat out of the picture.

Fortunately for us, David Frenkiel over at @gkstories provides us with a gold mine of vegetarian options for all ages on his brilliant Instagram page.

Raspberry chia anyone? This little recipe and photo was the start of all our smoothie adventures and set the tone for my photography set-ups in years to come. Simple and colorful against a dark backdrop. Here is the recipe if you haven’t tried it yet: – 1 cup / 125 g frozen thawed (or fresh) raspberries – 1 cup / 250 ml plant milk – 3 tbsp chia seeds – 3 tbsp desiccated coconut – A little maple syrup to sweeten (optional) – A squeeze of lemon, if preferred … Mash the raspberries with a fork. Add milk, chia seeds and coconut (+ maple syrup and lemon if using) and stir around until combined. Let sit for 20 minutes. Serve in a jar or bowl topped wit nut butter, berries, hemp seeds and mint.

The author of Little Green Kitchen, a cookbook full of vegetarian, kid-friendly recipes, also provides his followers with tons of delicious meat-free meal ideas.

As the father of two young girls, Frenkiel knows well the challenges of making food without using meat that both parents and kids love. A quick look at his page proves, however, that what is difficult is not impossible. Who wouldn’t love this vegetarian potato and lentil salad sandwich, for example?

Vegetarian cooking is appropriate and healthy for people of all ages, and that includes kids too. Be sure to give Frenkiel a follow if you’re looking to find new vegetarian recipes for your children and family!
