Protein is usually the biggest concern people have about kids eating plant-based 🌱
But according to pediatrician Dr. Shah, it’s actually the thing she worries about the least.

“If children are offered a variety of foods and enough calories, it’s really difficult not to meet protein requirements.”

Watch for more advice on how to talk with your pediatrician about plant-based nutrition 👩‍⚕️🥦

This ginger sesame miso dressing is bold, savory, and full of flavor. Fresh ginger, garlic, toasted sesame oil, and white miso create a balanced mix of tangy, nutty, and slightly sweet notes. It’s an easy way to elevate salads, grain bowls, roasted vegetables, or tofu.

Ginger and garlic deliver antioxidant compounds that support immune and heart health. Miso adds fermented soy compounds like isoflavones and bioactive peptides that support healthy blood pressure.

Parents ask about picky eating, supplements, weight concerns, growth, and more—and clinicians are expected to have clear, evidence-based answers.

That gap is exactly why we created Pediatric Nutrition for Health Professionals, a 25 CME/CE-accredited course designed specifically for pediatric clinicians.

We’ve updated the course to include the most recent DGAs and this week, we’re relaunching the course with a few bonuses:

• $200 off enrollment
• 4 LIVE cooking classes
• Your choice of a bonus module (sports nutrition or fertility/pregnancy nutrition) or one of our parent courses

If you’re a pediatrician, dietitian, or clinician working with families and want stronger training in pediatric nutrition, this course was built for you.

👉 Comment “COURSE” and we’ll send you the details.

And if you know a clinician who might benefit from this training, feel free to share this with them.

These glazed citrus, almond and olive oil muffins are moist, flavorful, and full of fresh oranges. 🍊

💬 Comment “recipe” to learn how to make these simple, bakery-style muffins at home!

Inspired by @brainhealthkitchen , these muffins use the whole orange — simmered until soft — to create a deep, well-rounded citrus flavor in every bite. Olive oil adds richness and keeps the crumb moist for days.

Oranges shine here 🍊 — packed with vitamin C, plus fiber and potassium to support heart health. ❤️

A blend of almond flour and oat or quinoa flour adds subtle nuttiness, while a light glaze and sprinkle of turbinado sugar give just enough sweetness and texture.

🌱 This recipe is made with 4¼ plants
Orange = 1 🌱
Lemon = 1 🌱
Almond flour = 1 🌱
Oat or quinoa flour = 1 🌱
Olive oil = ¼ 🌱

This dark chocolate tahini fudge is rich, smooth, and deeply satisfying, making it a perfect Valentine’s Day treat. 🍫❤️

💬 Comment “recipe” to learn how to make these simple chocolate treats!

Inspired by @nadiashealthykitchen , this fudge pairs melted dark chocolate with creamy tahini (or nut butter) for a balanced, not-too-sweet base. A small pinch of cayenne enhances the chocolate flavor without adding noticeable heat.

Finished with chopped hazelnuts for a delicate crunch, these bites feel special while still being made with simple, nourishing ingredients. Hazelnuts and dark chocolate both contain heart-supportive nutrients, making this a thoughtful way to celebrate love during Heart Health Month.

Chilled until firm, these little fudge bites are easy to make, easy to store, and perfect for sharing — or keeping on hand for when a chocolate craving hits.

🌱 This recipe is made with 3¼ plants and helps you reach your goal of 30 plants a week
Dark chocolate = 1 🌱
Tahini or nut butter = 1 🌱
Hazelnuts = 1 🌱
Cayenne pepper = ¼ 🌱
