Do You Use Vega One Products/Shakes?
I just bought a tub of the Vanilla VegaOne Nutritional Shake today, as my doctor wants me to aim for 100g of protein per day for weight loss (based on my current weight and the amount I still have to lose till I can have surgery on my bad gut).

Hello All, I am a brand new Vegan, a baby vegan as it were, and I have made this decision based on my current state of poor health, and the fact that I can no longer ignore the benefits of a vegan diet, but also the downfalls of not choosing to change the way I eat and treat my body and the environment.

What are your favorite fruits/veggies to juice?
I am having a love affair with red beets and lemons right now. I want to add them to every juice I make, but I hold back on the beets some times because they are so sweet.
