  1. 5 Top Tips for Vegetarian Parents • With any restrictive diet, it is important to maintain a balanced diet filled with all the essential vitamins and minerals.

  2. 1. Buying Fresh • Buy fresh vegetables that are in season will not only taste better but they will also be cheaper. • For example, broccoli may be in season all year round while corn is only in season during the summer months of July through October. • http://www.cuesa.org/eat-seasonally/charts/vegetables is a great resource for finding out more about vegetable seasons. (Tips for vegetarians, 2013)

  3. 2. Stock Up The Freezer • Stock up on frozen vegetables and fruits for quick and easy meals and snacks. • When vegetables are in season, definitely buy fresh, but stocking up the freezer is a good alternative for out-of-season veggies. (Tips for vegetarians, 2013)

  4. 3. Try Different Prep Methods • Microwaving • Griddling • Baking • Frying • Boiling • Steaming • Sauteing (Zerbe, L., Main, E, 2013)

  5. 4. Have a Variety • Like anything in life, having a variety can be a good thing. • A sure way to get a balanced diet is to incorporate different types of fruits and vegetables into your child’s diet. (Tips for vegetarians, 2013)

  6. 5. Have Helpers • Kids learn by doing. Involve your children in meal planning and cooking by having them cut, chop, or peel the vegetables and fruits. • Involving your children will help them to learn more about vegetarianism while also providing a good time for family bonding.
