Someone recently asked me for my professional opinion on vegan baby probiotics.

Probiotics are thought to offer health benefits such as a stronger immune system, improved digestion, and a more robust resistance to allergies. Probiotics are even touted to help fight colic in babies.

Many adults take probiotics, so it’s only natural to wonder whether their baby may also benefit from taking them. But do probiotics offer the same benefits to babies? And are they actually safe for them?

Vegan Carrot Cake Recipe: Baking Without Added Sugars

March 22, 2021 By Alina Petre, MSc. RD. 2 Comments

Vegan carrot cake

Vegan carrot cake is a family-favorite in my household. So, when my daughter’s first birthday rolled around, it was almost a given that I’d try to bake her a sugar-free variant.

The problem was that, at the time, I couldn’t find any good sugar-free cake recipe online.

I found several vegan carrot cake recipes advertised as being “sugar-free” or “without added-sugars.” Yet, upon reading the recipe, I’d inevitably find out that they simply used maple syrup, coconut sugar, or raw sugar instead of white sugar.
