The issue is that kids tend to prefer familiar foods and simple flavors over spicy Indian sauces or complex flavors that grown ups love. Enter your email & we’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from us every week! By submitting this form, you consent to receive emails from Hurry the Food Up. While that doesn’t go for all kids, we wanted to help parents out by coming up with a list of kid-friendly vegetarian recipes. (Or recipes for the vegetarian university students out there looking for comfort food, we won’t tell). This compilation of vegetarian recipes for kids covers every meal from breakfast recipes, like pancakes or scrambled eggs, to lunch and dinner recipes, like cucumber sandwiches or pizza. We also have a list of vegetarian lunch ideas for school, if that’s more what you’re looking for.
Why are kids picky eaters?
First things first, being a picky eater as a kid is totally normal. BUT it can be hard for parents to find recipes for picky eaters, especially if you’re trying to stick to a vegetarian or vegan diet. Often, kids are just naturally more sensitive to taste, scent or texture and prefer familiar foods. If not, it might be a way to gain control over mealtimes. That’s why we’ve included twists on some classics like vegan nuggets to replace chicken nuggets, and veggie burgers to replace beef burgers, in this list of vegetarian recipes for kids.
Here’s our list of vegetarian meals for kids
We want to make mealtimes a little smoother for any vegetarian family out there, so if that’s what you’re looking for, read on!

What is vegetarian food for kids?
A vegetarian diet for kids should cover the same basics as any healthy diet. It must include a variety of foods – fruits and vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Eggs and dairy are also healthy and delicious options. It may be trickier to fuel your kids and provide some essential nutrients, so make sure they get enough protein, vitamins (B-12) and minerals (calcium, zink, iron). The quality of vegetarian food is also important. It’s better to stay away from foods with many calories but little nutritional values, like highly processed foods. If you need more help settling into a vegetarian lifestyle and vegetarian meals for kids, check out our guide on how to go vegetarian.
