A small portion of nuts can be a delicious way of meeting your child’s iron, selenium, zinc and protein requirements.
When preparing the plant-based snack, choose a mix of almonds, cashews, pistachios, brazil nuts and walnuts. You can roast a large batch in the oven and store it in an airtight container.
Top tip: avoid offering whole nuts to children under the age of five to reduce their risk of choking. Instead, chop it into smaller pieces for a nutritious and healthy vegan snack.
Why we like this snack: high in protein, source of zinc and selenium (when brazil nuts are used)
