I'm also looking for a Graze (US) invite code. TIA!

Most days I eat Cream of Wheat hot cereal. I cook it with (sweetened) vanilla almond milk instead of water (same amount), and before heating I throw in five or six frozen blueberries, directly from the freezer. I have a waffle iron, so once every couple months I make a huge batch of waffles and freeze them. Otherwise, I…

According to the Laziest Vegans in the World website, the Trader Joe's vegan mozz is Galaxy brand under TJ's label. But it is vegan!

If you're vegan, be sure to read the ingredients, as some Galaxy products contain dairy. (Don't get me started on dairy-alternatives that contain dairy...) I haven't tried Galaxy, as all the stores near me only carry the products with dairy. I LOVE Daiya cheddar and pepper jack shreds but don't care for the mozzarella, so…

When purchasing supplements, though, you often can't purchase just the contents and not the capsule it's in. Thus the entire supplement, itself, is rendered non-vegan by the capsule. Many stores near me carry flax oil capsules sold as omega-3, but they're in gelatin capsules; the supplement (as a unit) is therefore not…

My local WF is pretty vegan un-friendly. They don't carry the selection of vegan products that I know WF in other parts of the country carry, and have flat out refused when I inquired at the possibility of stocking some items. Once I was looking for MimicCreme, and the customer service person told me if I didn't want dairy…

I take Deva vegan multivitamins (they offer one with iron, one without). I also take Deva's D2, and their vegan Omega-3. My local Whole Foods doesn't sell ANY vegan multis, D, or Omega-3, so I just order them from Amazon. Inexpensive, and free shipping! Also, for everyone saying nutritional yeast is a good source of B12,…

Some Morningstar Farms products are vegan, but many (most?) have eggs. Read those ingredient lists! I believe all Gardein products are vegan. I know Target and Whole Foods carry Gardein. They offer a pretty good variety of beef and chicken replacements.

I'm also looking for vegan friends! Vegetarian for two years, just went vegan on January 1 this year. :)

Hi! I'm so excited to see a vegan section here! I'm not new to MFP, but I've never ventured much into the community section. I started my account a few years ago, but only used it intermittently. I've been vegetarian for two years, and went vegan for New Year's this year. I was doing really well as a vegetarian, lost some…

What keeps me out of a lot of fast food places is reading not only the calorie counts, but the ingredients. I don't want all those preservatives a crap in my body!!! I have also found that if I can go for several months without eating at a particular fast food place, I start not liking the food anymore. I did that with…

My daily food luxury is my own homemade yogurt. I use milk from a local dairy (very fresh, and no growth hormones!), and one serving of the previous batch. That's it, usually, though I will occasionally whisk in some pure vanilla extract. It's a luxury because I use whole milk to make it. The recipes I've seen have to have…

I can eat a whole head of cauliflower roasted with a light spritz of olive oil and lots of garlic, or a whole bundle of asparagus roasted with a poached egg on top. Easy.

When I eat out and don't have the exact nutritional information available (it's not required here, and places are afraid to post it), I will guestimate. I eat at more locally-owned places, so so I can't look most of that stuff up online, it's just not available. It is rare for me not to be able to find something similar in…

I like brown rice with some canned black beans. I usually spice it up with Green Tabasco, and sometimes add chopped button mushrooms. Not very exotic, but I love the combination! It's also inexpensive, and super-filling.
