Healthy vegan cookbook & food choices RECOMMENDATIONS NEEDED!

[Guest guest]

I need healthy vegan cookbook recommendations. I also need help with

what kind of healthy food choices I should make.

 

I made a 10-month commitment to being a raw vegan. In January, I'm

going to make a similar commitment to being a vegan, but a healthy

vegan. I mean French fries cooked in some kind of vegetable oil would

be considered vegan right? But I won't be eating that kind of food. I

am not even going to eat things like white bread and white rice. I'm

not sure of all my choices. I was thinking about adding things like

vegetable soup, oatmeal, whole grain bread, brown rice, and some kind

of healthy cereal with almond milk. Of course keeping up many of the

raw vegan foods going too.

 

Please tell me the healthy vegan staples outside of the obvious

fruits and veggies, such as, whole grain bread, brown rice, healthy

cereal etc. Please specify what kinds and/or brands are your

favorites, such as Whole Foods whole grain bread, Ezekiel whole grain

bread, Grapenuts, bulk cereal grains, or WHAT? If things like Ezekiel

whole grain bread and/or Grapenuts are bad please explain why?

 

Also I understand that some foods should be cooked to digest or

release vitamins or something. Which ones and why?

 

Please edumacate ME! ;-) Thank you for helping me with my new vegan

journey coming up!

I think you have named most of the staple items. We make our own

bread with spelt flour, as I am not good with normal wheat. We use

rolled oats to make porridge or muesli for breakfast, and mainly

brown rice. While polished rices are not as healthy (no B vitamins)

Basmati rice (although white) is still full of goodness. I like to

include lentils, all kinds of beans, nuts, seeds and tofu in our diet.

i think just remember to vary your diet will help tremendously

don't rely on one thing over and over again

( i fall into that all the time because i tend to eat a lot of tofu and pasta)

 

as for cooking

off the top of my head, nothing..tho someone may be able to supply the knowledge

you seek

cooking in general (over 118F) destroys enzymes

i know that soaking and sprouting creates new enzymes and breaks down starches

tho

 

cheers
