vegan meatloaf recipe whole foods image
26242.
My mom is not supportive of my vegetarianism, so most of the time I'll have to cook my own meals. I need recipes for some simple meals with EVERYDAY INGREDIENTS.
I can handle breakfast on my own, but I'm desperate for lunch and dinner recipes. Lunch would have to be something pre-made and packable.
I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian, so there's no need to substitute dairy or eggs.
Thank you so much!!
Answer
Hi, great choice to become a vegetarian. I am also a teen and have been a vegan for almost four years now. I am still the only one in the whole entire family of 100+ meat lovers, so as you can imagine I had to be extremely focused, determined and self motivated to pull it off. I remember my first days as a vegan asking around on-line and I never got any satisfactory answers, so I had to learn it the hard way. Through that experience I decided to help others and share my knowledge with you.
FYI WITH THE FOLLOWING RECIPIES YOU WILL GET ALL THE VITAMINS YOU NEED. HOWEVER YOU MIGHT WANT TO TAKE SOME VITAMINS AND PROTIEN POWDER ON THE SIDE! Don’t forget to regularly see the doctor.

Looking for vegan food options that aren't soy substitutes.?
evil_gummi
Alright, due to medical recommendations, I'm removing animal products from my diet. I'm not going the unhealthy meat substitute route where you eat a bunch of gross processed mock-meat foods. I've been eating mostly fruit and veggies (variety of deep leafy greens, etc), making sure to get in B12, taking a vitamin supplement and tofu for protein. What cookbooks and recipes would you recommend for a vegan? Also, any opinions on raw foods?
Answer
Congratulations on your healthy new diet! Don't worry. You will have endless options for wonderful meals without needing to rely on overly-processed foods and fake meats. Often if you wish to make something similar to a burger, hot dog, meatloaf, or meatball - it can be made out of beans, chickpeas, lentils, walnuts, etc.
Also, for B-12, you might want to check out nutritional yeast flakes that you sprinkle on top of your food. It tastes a little like cheese, and you will notice it in numerous recipes for vegans. Red Star is probably the most common brand. You can get it in the bulk food bins at Whole Foods or order it online.
