The body needs protein to grow and develop. Beans, lentils (tofu), and nuts are good options for this. Fortified cereals, leafy greens, beans and leafy vegetables all contain iron. Fortified plant milks, calcium-settofu, and leafy vegetables all provide calcium which is vital for healthy bones. Vitamin D is essential for bone health. It can be obtained through fortified plant milk or sunlight exposure. Vitamin B12, which is essential for healthy nerves, blood cells and other body functions, can only be found in animal products. Children who consume a plant-based meal may need to take a supplement with vitamin B12.

How To

How can I incorporate more whole food into a plant-based lifestyle?

Whole grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables provide sustenance, so include them regularly.

You can create meal plans based on seasonal produce and include recipes that appeal to every tastebud. Smoothies, stir-fries, and casseroles are all crowd-pleasers.

Whole foods are also more durable than processed products. You can save time shopping for vegan-friendly products by taking an hour each week to plan your meals.
