Something to consider is calcium. Most oat milk or almond milk contains fortified calcium, but if you make your own, it may not have any, but you can always get calcium elsewhere e.g. calcium-set tofu. There was a recent study that found that vegans were 1.8 times more likely to get bone fracture, but that risk goes away for vegans who had adequate calcium in their diet, so it's important for vegans make sure they are getting enough calcium.

Thank you!
Sometimes I need a reminder that we can turn basic fruit and veg into a million things and that it's okay to wait until asparagus is in season...
That said, more moderately priced plant-based meat, dairy, etc. options from supermarket own brands seem to be making plant-based eating more affordable and therefore accessible... which is great!
