Any active vegans or vegetarians on here?! :)

I'm getting back into vegetarianism and would love to have you add me! As well as anyone else following a vegetarian/vegan diet - I enjoy looking at diaries for ideas! My very favorite thing is my breakfast smoothie:

1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup oats
1 tbsp cocoa
1 banana
About 4 ice cubes

I use my magic bullet to blend/grind it all into a delicious chocolatey smoothie!

I'm vegetarian and sometimes vegan . Friend me.

What has the doctor said that you need to prove wrong?

I am a vegetarian. Not vegan though, as I rely rather heavily on greek yogurt and egg whites for protein.

My doctor recently suggested that I cut out cheese and reintroduce white meat and/or fish in my diet for health reasons but I really don't want to. I would really appreciate any veggie friends with open diaries to help me prove my doctor wrong!

Vegetarian here! Friend request sent.

I've been vegetarian for 12 years. I cook most of what I eat and most of the recipes I use come from AllRecipes.com or Wholefoodsmarket.com. I've recently started strength training so I've have been trying to eat more protein and have been able to hit the daily goal pretty easily with beans, quinoa, nuts and yogurt. I run and bike. I just had a physical in December where they did a complete blood chemistry and everything was great, including B12 which is the hardest to get for vegetarians/vegans. So a vegetarian/vegan diet can be healthy and nutritious with careful planning and knowledge. I think cooking your own food is the best way to ensure this.

I'm not into shakes anyway, but it's got rice in it, so it's out for me!

I've been mostly vegan since July 2011. Always looking for some friends on MFP~ good for support and recipes

One tip for you, I use Arbonne's Protein shakes when I'm on the go and want a healthy and more cost friendly meal than eating out. They are certified vegan as well as gluten free! Let me know if you'd like more info.

I LOVE Arbonne. I just tried the Protein shakes for the first time this week. I drink them after a workout, quicker than putting together a smoothie. They taste pretty good too. I love all things Arbonne!

Vegan checking in. I write a [fledgling] vegan food blog, read it here: www.thevegankitchen.net.

Veggie here

Vegetarian here. I also find the carbs vs protein hard to manage. I do.not.like.tofu. And, sadly, I rely on processed "meat" replacements a lot. But, they are yummy. *sigh*

I have tried, a few times, to go vegan. But I'll be honest... I love cheese TOOO MUCH. It is always my downfall.

Feel free to add me!

I've been vegetarian for almost 2 years. When i started, i did it mostly out of ethical reasons (factory farming abuse, etc.) but now i also realize it is so much more of a healthy lifestyle as well. Don't know how well my food diary looks, as i'm a guy who tends to not cook up crazy meals everyday, but anyone is free to add me if they wish.
