Alex Caspero, Registered Dietitian with Plant Based Juniors comes back today! We had so much to cover during our first episode that we decided to go for round two! Great news- after our first conversation Alex became inspired and created a free protein guide you can check out.

We cover A LOT in this episode. It is packed full of great information around food, the kitchen and kids. We talk about language in the kitchen with our kids, giving the kids choices around meal time within reason, picky eating, getting in the protein you need in plant based food, supplements and seasonal eating!

Alex is a wealth of knowledge and explains things simply and easy to understand!
