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.

i wanna know the points
Answer
I don't know about recipies necessarilly, but the smartlife sausage tubes are really low in points. My boyfriend used a tube of that and a tube of the smartlife ground beef along with a block of vegan cheddar cheese (the brand name escapes me right now, but they sell it at whole foods) and some ketchup to make a pan of vegan meatloaf that was 15 points for the entire thing.
