The only way my kids will eat lentils is when I add them to taco meat. They know that they are in there; I don’t believe in hiding ingredients or tricking kids into eating new foods. They just blend in well and they don’t really notice a difference.

And there are a few bonuses to doing this: adding lentils stretches the ground beef further and adds more fibre and plant-based protein to the meal.

As a dietitian, when people are trying to incorporate more plant-based protein into their diets, I often recommend adding them to familiar meat-based dishes because it can help with some of the resistance and meat-lovers don’t feel they are missing anything. It can be a helpful way to start adding more plant foods without feeling like you’re completely changing the way you eat.
