Guide To The Healthiest Vegan Vitamin B12 Sources

Tofu

Some meat substitutes have vitamin B12, and since many are made to mimic the taste of meat, they are the perfect options for individuals just starting to follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. The best-known meat substitute is tofu, which is used all over the world. It's not always high in vitamin B12 by itself, but it can be fortified with vitamins and minerals. Tofu can be used to substitute seafood, beef, pork, and chicken in the majority of recipes. However, many individuals find they do not like the texture of many kinds of tofu. The good news is there are other meat substitutes out there that will help not only the texture issue, but also fill the vitamin B12 void left behind. More on those options to come.

Vegan Snack Bars

Vegans should have access to delicious, easy snack food just like everyone else. Some companies help make that a reality. Instead of using chemical preservatives and animal products to bind foods and increase shelf life, these companies use different recipes and formulas to create sustainable snack foods. There are vegan snack bars with a similar grab-and-go principle as granola bars, but they're packed with nutrition. In the past, nutrition bars for vegans have been difficult to find. Vegan consumers have remedied this by creating their own companies and putting out very competitive snack foods. Nutrition bars are more convenient than smoothies, and they're a lot easier to make than a home-cooked meal. Some of the bars are also free of grains and gluten, so vegans can even eat them and get their vitamin B12 dosage if they have a gluten intolerance. Different bars come in different flavors, and they all combine multiple natural ingredients to promote healthy nutrition.
