When we think about creating plant-based meals, the children\u2019s menu can often be overlooked. But there\u2019s no reason that any less attention or creativity should be given to the curation of a children\u2019s menu. We should be feeding young minds with information and options, so they can make their own choices, whether that\u2019s the sport they want to play or food they prefer to eat.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n

With more and more families cooking plant-based meals at home, children are becoming much more adventurous with what they eat. Some may have even been brought up on a strict vegan diet, and almost half (42%) of British kids are worried about the future and environment, which is why it\u2019s ever more important to feature exciting plant-based meals on your menu.
<\/p>\n\n\n

One of our suppliers, Meatless Farm<\/a>, has recently partnered with 12-year-old Omari McQueen, the UK\u2019s youngest award-winning plant-based chef, to launch a \u2018For Kids By Kids\u2019<\/a> campaign. Aimed at the education catering sector, the campaign highlights how simple and delicious it can be to include more plant-based food on to school menus. But we think it\u2019s a great inspiration for any business that caters for children.
<\/p>\n\n\n

To kick off the campaign, Meatless Farm has launched a series of videos and recipes with Omari, shot alongside the plant-based brand\u2019s chef, Ben Davy. From cheesy meatballs to juicy and succulent burgers, sausages and mash, and warming hot pots, there are loads of tasty meals incoming\u2026 so make sure you keep an eye on the page. Most of the Meatless Farm core products are school-approved, so you can feel confident you\u2019re serving up great, nutritious food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
