This is very common with young children! Protein foods are important, but many foods besides meat contain protein. There are plenty of ways to work protein into your child’s diet.

Expert Advice:

  • Non-meat foods with protein include beans, peanut butter, eggs, yogurt, cheese, tofu and milk.
  • Try meatless meals like rice and beans or breakfast tacos with eggs.
  • Try ground or stewed meat or meat softened with gravy or sauce.
  • Cut meat and fish into small pieces.
  • Add bite-size pieces of meat to pizza, spaghetti, casseroles or soup.
  • Add foods that are high in vitamin C like tomatoes, oranges, strawberries, bell peppers and broccoli to meals. Vitamin C can help your child absorb more iron from food to keep their growing body healthy.
