Vegan Bytes #70- Ditch Dairy But Keep the Calcium and Chocolate September 17, 2014 |
||||||||||||||||||||||
Hi!What's on Tap this Month?Nutrition Spotlight: Where do I get my calcium from? The age-old vegan question Know Someone Who'd Love this Newsletter?I couldn't be more grateful for each one of you who has told someone else about this newsletter.

It might have gone there automatically, or you might have found it in "Promotions," or some other tab and need to make an adjustment.** No Dairy? What About Your Calcium?Ah yes, the well-intentioned but super annoying question about how your bones aren't going to crack into tiny pieces if you stop eating cheese and ice cream. Long-time vegans have probably already learned and forgotten the nutritional background behind why this is a silly question, so here's a refresher.
Would you believe that if you eat a balanced plant-based diet full of real, whole foods, you probably have stronger bones than your skeptical neighbor who drinks a glass of raw milk a day?
I put together a fun little infographic on how much calcium is in vegan foods here.
If I Can't Put Milk in My Cereal, What Will I Eat for Breakfast?One of the protests I hear about giving up milk is what the heck the person will do for breakfast if they can't put milk on their cereal or creamer in their coffee.
When I think back to my cereal and cow's milk days, I remember a lot of rumbling stomachs around mid-morning. That's because most cereal isn't filling or even nutritious. We do have it some mornings nowadays, but we look for the most whole-grain, lowest sugar, highest fiber and protein options we can find. And of course, we douse it in a non-dairy milk or my homemade almond milk.
But if you're looking for other ideas for a simple breakfast, this page will give you a few ideas.
"How long does it take to detox from dairy?"![]()
I have been vegetarian for a year and a half, but went completely vegan 4 months ago. I have tried to find information regarding the effects of detoxing from (lots of) dairy products, but have not been able to have my question directly answered. I have suffered from breakouts on my forehead and jawline since becoming vegan. I am curious as to how long this "detoxing" might last, if you think that is the issue.
I have also considered a sensitivity to soy products as a possible cause. If you have any advice on clearing it up, that would be wonderful as well. Thank you for a great website and newsletter! "
Blessings, Denise King
Well? How long does it take?

Perfectly Simple and Simply Delicious Chocolate CakeEveryone needs an amazing chocolate cake recipe in their arsenal. With a basic recipe like this you have a jumping off point for so many varieties, from mint chocolate chip (add mint extract and chocolate chips, with mint extract in the frosting), to faux hostess cupcakes (fill them with vanilla buttercream and top with a chocolate ganache and thin swirls of glaze).
I love this chocolate cake recipe, adapted over time from a few of my favorites.

VitaMix is hands down the best blender on the market. I recommend it to anyone and everyone, and it's absolutely amazing... no exaggeration. In fact, the other day, I found myself taking a complete stranger to a section of a cooking store to show her the VitaMix and explain its benefits, just for pure fun!
If you're a vegan nutritionista yourself and have always thought about running a blog with your vegan recipes, you should think about an SBI website. I would never have known how to start a website, let alone get Vegan Nutritionista to the successful place it is right now without Site Build It, and I can't recommend it enough. If you are passionate about anything, any hobby, lifestyle, food, drink, or culture, you can start a website about it. All you have to do is love it, research it, and learn to "talk" about it and SBI will guide you to making it financially successful.
I hope you got something great out of this newsletter. I'll see you next month! Cathleen |
