Guest guest Report post Posted July 17, 2006 Nutritional Yeast Have you tried Nutritional Yeast? It's not the leavening yeast that makes bread rise (nutritional yeast contains no live enzymes) and it's not Brewer's yeast either. It is a condiment/ingredient and dietary supplement (rich in minerals, B vitamins - particularly B12 - and protein) that has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that many describe as cheese-like. It's animal-free, dairy-free, sugar-free and Kosher. You can use it to add flavor and nutritional value in recipes for sauces and gravies; mix it into scrambled eggs or tofu; keep it in a shaker to sprinkle on salads, popcorn, pasta, baked potatoes or sandwich fillings; add it to casseroles or beans; etc., etc. There are a number of brands, but I recommend only Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula T6635+ Nutritional Yeast. Its manufacturing process guarantees it is the only proven, reliable vegan source of Vitamin B12. You can find the yeast at many health food stores in flaked or powdered form – both have a yellow coloring. Store it in a cool, dry place or refrigerate it. It keeps indefinitely. One caveat - adults shouldn't eat more than 3 tablespoons of nutritional yeast per day – more may cause an increase in uric acid in the bloodstream, putting stress on the kidneys and/or contributing to gall stones or gout in certain individuals. One serving (approximately 3 tablespoons) of nutritional yeast contains 47 calories, 8 grams of protein, 5 mg of sodium, 5 carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber and less than 1 gram of fat.

Guest guest Report post Posted July 18, 2006 this is the BEST faux macaroni and cheese recipe... just use rice pasta. Macaroni and " Cheese " Casserole from the New Farm Cookbook. I added half the amount of oil (1/8 cup because 1/4 seemed excessive) and 1/2 tsp of mustard powder for taste. I'm thinking I might turn this into my mom's casserole which consisted of elbow macaroni, monterey jack cheese, velveeta cheese, chopped ham, and chopped broccoli flourettes. I think I'd be able to veganize it pretty easily with this recipe. Serves 5 (actually probably serves more as this is a really filling dish) 3 1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni 1/2 cup margarine 1/2 cup flour 1 1/2 tsp. salt 2 Tbsp. soy sauce 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder tumeric 1/4 cup oil 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes paprika Cook 3 1/2 cups elbow macaroni. In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup margarine over low heat. Beat in 1/2 cup flour with a wire whisk and continue to beat over a medium flame until the mixture (called roux) is smooth and bubbly. Whip in 3 1/2 cups boiling water, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder, and a pinch of turmeric, beating well to dissolve the roux. The suace should cook until it thickens and bubbles. then whip in 1/4 cup oil and 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes. Mix part of the sauce with the noodles and put in casserole dish, and pour a generous amount of sauce on top. Sprinkle w/ paprika and bake for 15 minutes in a 350 preheated oven. Put in broiler for a few minutes until " cheese " sauce gets stretchy and crisp. On Jul 17, 2006, at 3:45 PM, Harry Probst wrote: > Nutritional Yeast > > Have you tried Nutritional Yeast?

Guest guest Report post Posted July 21, 2006 Hi Sharon; As a person interested in eating the best diet for athletic performance, maybe this article would be helpful. http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/vegetarian_athletes.html Fortunately, getting " enough " protein is something we have learned is far easier than was once thought! :-) Here's a website with lots of interesting reading for vegan athletes: http://www.veganathlete.com/ Enjoy! Deborah Hi all- So I recently found out that I am allergic to soy. I am dissapointed because I was hoping that would be another source of protein for me. So now that I've discovered that I am allergic to dairy, soy and gluten - I am wondering how to get enough protein! I workout alot, and need the protein for muscle recovery. I can have a little red meat, and fish - but not every day. So I need as much advice as possible on how to get enough protein. I know there are rice based protein powders, but I would love to get the protein from food sources. Thanks in advance! Sharon . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 21, 2007 There is more iron in meat, but most of it is not in a form easily utalized by our bodies. There is more USEABLE protein in broccoli than there is in beef. When we eat meat to get protein, we are eating only the left over, mostly unusable kind. The readily usable protein was already used by the cow.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 24, 2007 Questions like that are best answered by a professional and I'd say that a nutritionist would be your best bet. But I can tell you--and I think most here would tell you--that we, including children, actually need far less protein than we're led to believe. Protein comes from so many sources that it's almost impossible to not get enough if you eat a well-rounded diet. Eggs, nuts, dairy, green veggies are all good sources, not to mention beans and soy products. There are so many good-tasting faux meat products out there. Being a vegetarian has literally changed our lives for the better and I hope your grandchild reaps the healthful benefits as well. Jill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted October 24, 2007 For months it's been a green smoothie. Lots of people don't realize that spinach and kale and all those greens are full of protein. Lately it's been oatmeal made with vanilla oat milk and a couple teaspoons of almond butter or peanut butter and topped with a few almonds and/or sunflower seeds. I pretty much don't do wheat or most other grains. (With occasional exceptions,,.) Sharon Steph wrote: > What is everyone's favorite way to get protein in the morning?

Guest guest Report post Posted October 24, 2007 I had to chime in on this one. I'm a big peanut butter fan in the AM as well. Also, I try to incude protein powder into almost everything I bake since I have a weakness for homemade baked goods and fruit in the morning. This isn't enough, but a good start to the day.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 24, 2007 Honestly the reason why I asked was not a concern for too little prottein I just know protein helps with energy. I have been so fatigued lately and I thought if I ate a little extra protein and drank more water it would help. Also I need to cut down on carbs I need to lose some weight. And people say you can starve to death on a veggie diet hehe =^.^= Steph Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted October 24, 2007 I like egg whites most of the time, occasionally we'll have the yolks but like you, I need to lose some weight! Also the peanut butter is a good idea. I'll toast some whole grain bread and then spread it with peanut butter instead of margarine or butter. Just spread it thinly. That cuts down on the fat. And I find that the peanut butter usually gives me a little more energy than the eggs. Probably a combo of the fat and the sugar in it.

Guest guest Report post Posted October 24, 2007 I thought I would chime in on this one too, since I get up at 4am, I usually have 2 breakfasts (hobbit style!, lol). I start with a smoothie, 1 cup soy milk, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 tablespoon of flax oil, 1 scoop of vanilla whey powder and stevia. Then around 9ish, I usually have millet patties, with cheese and salsa. Di Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
