In this solo episode, I share eight tips that helped me get my family to eat more vegan meals in the early days.

Tips mentioned in this episode:

Make sure school lunches are familiar, delicious, and appealing for your kids.
Have a chat about your plans (you don’t have to use the word “vegan")
Let majority rule when it comes to meal planning and whether or not a recipe/meal is good.
Test out new recipes on the days you have leftovers.
Ask your significant other to give you feedback on meals when the kids aren’t around.
Incorporate smoothies and fresh juice
Use meat alternatives when necessary
Get your family involved in grocery shopping and cooking
