Best Vegan Sources of Vitamins

The most common vitamins missing on a vegan diet include B12, B vitamins, Omega-3’s, Iodine, Iron, Calcium & Zinc. The best ways to get these vitamins on a vegan diet include fresh fruit juice, vegetable juice, whole fruits and vegetables, flax oil and supplements such as wheatgrass. We need at least 25 servings of fruits and vegetables a day to meet our recommended nutritional requirements and a nutrient dense morning smoothie is a fast and easy way to incorporate the essential vitamins and minerals our bodies need. However, taking a quality multivitamin or mindfully eating an assortment of fruits & vegetables can also alleviate any vitamin deficiencies.
