Calling all Vegan Moms & Dads! (And anyone with Vegie kids!)

My son is a healthy 3 year old Vegan. He never gets those runny nose colds so common of his age which is awesome and I am sure that this is good for hi However, I am concerned that now with him getting older that he really needs to be eating more. He is actually a little on the bigger side for his age (not overweight but very tall and solid/muscular), but this is not because of his solid food intake but I think mostly because he gets a lot of calories from soy milks and other types of milk like rice and oat. He also eats a lot of processed vegie sausages and other meat alternatives and snacks.

I really need to find ways to get him to eat more vegies and things that are mixed together (which he is a bit funny about), like lasagne or a plate with a few different vegies on it (rather than just peas, or just lentils for eg).

What ideas or tips and tricks do you have to share with this frazzled vegan mom? I just feel stuck.

Thank you!!

Oh note that although I use the term Mom, it is just a preference-Im not in the US, but in Australia. So we don’t have as much choice with Vegan friendly foods/substitutes here unfortunately. Although some things are imported (like cheezley
Vegans don’t consume dairy or egg. Some people think Vegan means Vegetarian but there’s a big difference lifestyle-wise.
