Food Babe Family is a powerful resource for all parents. Vani removes many of the obstacles we parents experience trying to navigate the best ways to institute healthy eating for our children. I appreciate that she doesn’t make it about “healthy eating” but a natural way to make this a lifestyle for you and your children. There are enough recipes to cater to every family’s preferences, and as a bonus, she arms you with the tools to navigate the grocery store. I admire Vani’s continued commitment to helping us all live and eat better.

This cookbook will be mandatory reading for my patients. It is more than a cookbook. Aside from recipes, Vani presents many options for raising healthy eaters, including how to start feeding solids to babies, tips for picky eaters, traveling with kids, dealing with holidays, and so much more. The recipes contain simple ingredients and easy-to-follow recipes that families can make together. Raising healthy kids does not have to be hard; we just need the right guidance. And this is what you will find in this book.

Food Babe Family belongs in the kitchen of every family who wants to know how to use the power of food as medicine to raise the healthiest, happiest kids possible. As a holistic pediatrician and mom, I know firsthand the challenges of navigating an ultra-processed world where the food industry definitely does not have our kids’ best interests in mind. So much more than a cookbook, Food Babe Family will help families learn how to make the food choices that actually help their kids thrive!
Vani has real-life, practical tips and tricks, and kid-friendly, mama-approved recipes to help your kids learn how to love real food from the start. And when real life gets in the way with birthday parties, holiday travel, or your kids just wanting that rainbow-colored unicorn drink that all their friends are having, Vani shows parents and kids how to navigate food choices with ease. Thank you, Vani, for helping parents like me who want our families to eat real food, “like a Food Babe Family,” and have fun, too!

Several years ago I had an opportunity to watch Vani speak to an incredible holistic-minded audience. Simply put, I was inspired by her message. I’m not surprised she finally wrote her message for all to hear, not just for us, but most importantly for future generations, our children.
Vani’s latest contribution to the world, this book combines a love of real, wholesome recipes, food for thought, and a smart resource that guides parents through our overly processed world so that families may flourish. Food Babe Family is essential reading for parents at any stage of their health journey. Vani so eloquently exemplifies foundational health for kids, living a life the way nature intended. Thank you, Vani. Truly, Thank you.

Vani knocks it out of the park once again! This is so much more than a cookbook. It’s a “how-to-feed-your-family” including on the go. One of the hardest things about eating well is eating on the go . . . or when you’re traveling. My favorite part of this whole book is Vani walking you through how to do that. Everyone needs this book . . . it’s like having the food babe in your back pocket!
