I know a lot of people wonder what to feed there children on a raw vegan diet. Mostly its about getting in essential nutrients for growth and also making sure it is something they will actually eat.

Although it doesn't sound like a lot of food it is very filling. You assimilate way more nutrients when you eat food with the enzymes still intact. My only suggestion when children eat this way is to make sure they can get physical activities in or else they will be wired and you will feel as though they are bouncing off the walls.
