Why Vegan Veggie Fritters?
These fritters are perfect for kids who may be picky about vegetables, as the mild flavors and texture make veggies fun and approachable. They are great for babies who are transitioning from puree to solids or practicing baby-led weaning (BLW).
Zucchini provides hydration with its high water content, along with vitamin C and fiber, which supports immune health.
Carrots add a touch of natural sweetness and a dose of beta-carotene, which is important for vision health.
Potatoes are high in carbohydrates, the body's primary source of energy, which is especially important for growing, active kids. They are rich in Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and antioxidants.
The avocado ranch dip is a creamy and delicious addition, making mealtime fun and engaging, while being packed with beneficial monounsaturated fats that are important for heart and brain health.
