Including as many veggies as possible into you and your family's diet is super important, especially when you have young, growing kids in your household. I always try to include a handful of meat-free meals in my family's diet during the week - it's a small, easy step to help the planet and it's better for our bodies!
If you're looking for some easy, vegetarian or vegan recipes, why not give these a go?
Baked Falafels - Healthy falafels that aren't fried, but baked! Delicious and simple, the kids are bound to love them. These baked falafels are the perfect finger food for your weaning baby and are also great in older kids' lunch boxes. For a tasty baby led weaning meal, serve them with our Coriander and Lime Hummus.
Veggie Quesadillas - Find this recipe in my Flask Recipes E-Book. I love that I can prepare the filling ahead of time. This recipe yields 6 portions of the filling so it’s best to portion them separately into your freezer pots so you can then remove exactly what’s needed.
Chickpea Veggie Rolls - Our tasty homemade vegetarian sausage roll recipe is a great alternative finger food for your weaning baby that the whole family will love! Packed full of delicious chickpeas and veggies, this healthy treat is perfect for little fingers, ideal for lunchboxes and makes a healthy snack on the go.
Tuscan Bean Stew - My tasty Tuscan Bean Stew makes a hearty meal for the whole family. This nourishing dish is high in protein and vegetables and is always a firm family favourite. This meal takes no time at all to prepare and is a great one to double up for freezing!
Sweetcorn and Courgette Fritters - The combination of sweetcorn, courgette and cheese makes this a delicious finger food meal for your baby, and indeed the whole family! They are slightly crispy on the outside and bursting with fresh familiar flavour. These pair really well with homemade tomato sauce.
