Can a vegan diet provide enough protein to children?

4y ago

Yes. A well balanced plant based diet can provide children of all ages with ample protein required for their growth and development. Offering plant based protein sources like Tempeh, Tofu, Chickpea, Kidney beans, Green peas etc on a daily basis can help them develop their taste buds to begin to like these protein rich foods. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics deduces that vegan diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood and adolescence.
