We have shared all kinds of delicious recipes for families and some of our most popular recipes are our vegetarian recipes that kids love. We have had many requests to pull together family friendly vegan recipes too. So, we've gathered together over 30 vegan recipes that are totally kid friendly.
How are vegan recipes different from vegetarian recipes?

Picky eaters exist in all families - whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or omnivores - and these recipes are kid-friendly and hopefully everyone in your family will enjoy these dishes!
