As vegans, we're often bombarded with concerns about nutrient deficiencies, especially when it comes to vitamin B12.

This essential nutrient is vital for our nerves and DNA, yet it's one of the most misunderstood elements of the vegan diet.

In today's episode, I'll demystify vitamin B12 for vegans, explaining why it's crucial, particularly for our vegan kids, who don't have the nutrient stores that adults do. We'll explore how even though B12 is associated with animal sources, its origins are much more plant-based than you might think. I'll also share why supplementation is essential.

But don't worry, ensuring your vegan family gets enough B12 isn't as hard as it sounds. I'll guide you through the best sources of B12, how to choose the right supplements, and simple ways to incorporate them into your family's routine. Whether you're concerned about your health, your kids' development, or just curious about vegan nutrition, this episode will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to thrive on a plant-based diet. Join me as we safeguard our health with the power of vitamin B12!

Are you struggling to get your kids to eat more vegetables, especially with a vegan or plant-based diet?

It can feel like an uphill battle when your little ones push away the healthiest parts of their meals.

But what if I told you that you might be worrying too much about how many veggies they eat?

In this week’s podcast episode, I'm excited to share some enlightening insights and practical tips that will transform your approach to your kids' diet. Discover why vegan children might not need as many vegetables as you think, and learn how to seamlessly integrate nutritious veggies into their meals without the stress.

I'll explain the actual vegetable needs of vegan kids compared to omnivores, revealing why dinner might not be the best time for veggies and offering better alternatives throughout the day.

I'll also discuss how to make vegetables a natural part of every meal to reduce resistance and encourage acceptance. This approach helps children view veggies as a normal, unremarkable part of eating, which can significantly ease mealtime battles.

Ready to ease your mealtime battles and ensure your children are nourished and happy?
