Tips for making low-SOS vegan easier
Use vegetable broth without added sodium
Dry-toast spices to deepen flavor without oil
Blend cashews or white beans into sauces for creaminess
Nutritional yeast can add savory flavor with less salt
Supplements worth considering on a vegan diet
You may want to discuss:
Vitamin B12
Vitamin D
Algae-based omega-3 (EPA/DHA)
Some people with arthritis also find benefit from turmeric/curcumin supplements, but check with a clinician if you take blood thinners.
2 Ingredient Healthy Wraps
Ingredients
1 cup quinoa
1 1⁄2 cup filtered water
2 tablespoons flaxmeal
pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
* Wash the quinoa with water twice and drain.
* Pour some filtered water over the quinoa in an airtight container.
* Make sure there’s 1 inch of water above the quinoa in an airtight container and place in the fridge overnight or for 8 hours.
* Drain the soaked quinoa and pour them into a high-speed blender with 1 1/2 cup of filtered water.
* Blend on high speed until the batter is a smooth consistency.
* Add the flaxmeal in and blend the flaxmeal into the batter.
* Heat a medium-sized pan over low-medium heat. If the pan is not non-stick, you may spray a bit of oil. Ladle a scoop of batter into the pan and form a circle with the ladle.
* Cook for ~3 minutes before flipping the wrap over. Cook the other side for 1-2 minutes. Remove the wrap and set aside. Repeat this process for the remaining batter.
* Use the wraps immediately for best results or store in the freezer.
