Hi all,
I was wondering if its ok for me to make one shake every day using a liquidiser which contains everything I need to survive healthily as a vegan? i.e. calcium, vitamins, iron, etc.
the reason I want to do this is because time is limited and I often have little choice at work with what I eat.. so I might end up eating a nutritionally useless lettuce salad each day.
If I didn't have to worry about the content (nutritional values) of anything else I eat within the confines of vegan diet..because ive already had my shake which covered it all.. then anything else I eat would just be an added bonus without me having to consider whether it contains the right nutrition.
after some research, I think I need to include the following in my shake:
calcium- dried fruit
Vitamin D - fortified breakfast cereal
Iron - broccoli and nuts
Vitamin B12 - fortified breakfast cereal
Omega3 - walnuts
protein - lentils?
carbohdrates - I like bread but i'd like to be able to include carbs in my shake if I need them
Is this something I can do and stay healthy? and if so, what else do I need to include?
