Levi's Lunch

I wanted to share a fun lunch I made for Levi (on his birthday). A get a lot of questions and comments about feeding kids a healthy diet.

So I want to share what he ate. (Please note, not every day is this elaborate… some days he has left overs, salads, and sometimes he has an almond butter/jelly sandwich)



Homemade "lara bars": I made this yummy date/fig/cashew "crust" for his raw birthday cake and I had some left overs so I put them in a pan and put them in the fridge. I havent tried them but Levi loves them! I definitely plan on making more. They're so versatile and easy (and cheaper) than regular Lara Bars.

Sandwich: I get the bread from a local gluten free bakery (and yes, its vegan). I put veganiase, hummus, dijon mustard, avocado, yellow pepper and spinach. He chowed. Usually Ill add some cooked tofu as well. He loves these sandwiches

Sweets: So as you can see, the teeth are dates and the nose is a fig. A lot of people ask me what my kids eat for "treats" since they don't eat candy. Easy, fruit! We do a lot of fresh fruit too (which is obviously first choice) but dried fruit is easy and a nice treat.
