Hey guys.
I was curious, I am planning to give being a vegan a go for a few weeks at a time to introduce myself to a new healthy lifestyle. There are just a few things I'm unsure about and i was wondering if anyone could advise me...
Currently I work two jobs, and have a little money to spare (I'm not super scrimping though) and I don't usually have time/ passion or appreciations to cook for me, that why i have smoothies instead because it's quick xD
I drink 3-5 smoothies a week, these include always hemp protein, Flax seeds and may include, spinach, berries, kale, almond milk/water, and a few nuts. Ahh...and I'm trying to mask the hemp taste, its either bananas, or maybe cocoa powder...I've made some pretty awful smoothies.
I reckon it's pretty healthy, I'll eat some other food...not sure what yet though...Aldi round the corner.
My main concern was if I were to do this, what other nutrition would i need? My main fear is vitamin B12, and reducing muscle sizes.
If anyone has any advice about vitamins, anything in general or quick recipes, let me know.
And i never hear of any B12 deficiencies....
I know Alpro include a little bit in their almond milk, but how much do we need? I don't even know where I can buy Alpro xD and who else sell it?
Peace and love,
Ben.
