I've been following what looks to be a fantastic new plant-based toddler formula that will soon be available in the marketplace. Looks like a company that is doing everything right. www.elsenutrition.com
 
It does contain things it shouldn't, like folic acid and sugar.
Better to get a nut milk/soy milk maker and make your own
Or a high speed blender
 
Actually toddlers need 150 mcg of folic acid daily, which they can get from almonds but not soy. And no phytoestrogens like you get with soy. And very minimally processed. Anyway, you can look at their FAQ if you're interested like I was... just putting it out there for parents of toddlers looking to supplement vegan and avoid dairy and soy.

Folic acid is synthetic, Folate is from foods--esp dark leafy greens.
And please--phytoestrogens are not bad- that's old propaganda from meat/dairy!
