Miyoko's vegan cheese. I'm vegetarian but I'm always on the lookout for new vegan products to try out, especially because it turns out I'm mildly lactose intolerant. This cheese is made from mostly cashews and is cultured and aged so that it's like dairy cheese, unlike most other vegan cheeses. I recently tried the…

I have a pile of stuff that I'm trying to declutter and just can't. It's been there for almost a year now. I've given away some of it on Craigslist. But the problem is that most of the time I try to give away something on Craigslist, people flake out on me, like they say they want to come over that day and then never…

Health-wise, either type of diet has the ability to be healthy. The composition of foods within the diet is the most important thing. However, remember that people in the US eat way more meat, particularly processed and red meat, than what is recommended by leading health experts, and that high consumption of red meat is…

First I had a large brunch at our favorite brunch place. Had two poached eggs with avocado and tomato, each atop a piece of multigrain toast; hash browns; pico de gallo; and unsweetened iced tea. Then I had a cup of instant decaf coffee with a bit of unsweetened soymilk (I actually don't think instant coffee is bad). Now…

I have this type of thing sometimes, and I'm actually having a variation on it for breakfast tomorrow. Tomorrow I'm planning to have 1/2 cup of quick oats, 1 individual Chobani coconut Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/4 tsp powdered vanilla bean, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon. I'm also having a protein smoothie which is why I'm…

I'm not usually a coffee person but I like the flat white. With nonfat milk the tall is only 100 calories. I also like their teas (either hot or iced) either unsweetened, or with two packets of sugar.

I live in NJ. Shop-Rite (it's closest to my apartment) and sometimes Stop&Shop (for certain items Shop-Rite doesn't have). Whole Foods before Thanksgiving and Christmas (we're vegetarian, but our tradition is to have vegan holiday meals, and they have certain helpful items for that). I also order a few staples online --…

Tri-color pasta (the kind with vegetables in it) with cannellini beans, mushrooms, and extra virgin olive oil, topped with nutritional yeast. Delicious, nutritious, and vegan (my husband and I are vegetarians).

If you want one without stevia, try the Swanson Organics Pea Protein Powder. It doesn't have any flavorings or weird additives in it, it's just pea protein. It tastes kind of oatmeal-like on its own. Another option is Navitas Naturals Hemp Protein Powder, also no flavorings or additives. That has more of a "plant" taste to…

I've been vegetarian since July and just became a vegan last week! And yesterday I got 90 grams of protein. I'm in calorie maintenance currently, but losing weight on a vegan diet is exactly the same -- burn more calories than you take in. Just make sure you are hitting all your macros, particularly protein. I would also…

Not sure this year -- it's our first Thanksgiving on our own and also first Thanksgiving being vegetarian.

If you are really concerned about protein, you can get a whey, pea, or hemp protein powder and make a smoothie. Other than that, plain Greek yogurt (it's actually pretty good by itself or with a bit of cinnamon, or you can use it in savory recipes) and tofu (but watch out because it can cause hormonal issues if you have…
