Vegan Savvy is a simple, flexible and nutritionally approved way to make it easier to stick to a plant-based diet without compromising on your health. Vegan doesn’t necessarily mean healthy and it’s easy to fall down a rabbit hole of vegan fast food and beans on toast, which could mean you don’t get enough essential nutrients like iodine, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin B12, iron and calcium.
Lack of key nutrients may lead to unwanted symptoms of feeling sluggish or low in energy, looking pale and suffering mood swings. This evidence-based guide offers accessible, visual and practical ways to ensure you are getting enough of the key nutrients without having to swallow handfuls of supplements. Including quick and easy tips and tricks to make plant-based meals that are naturally boosted with nutrient-rich extras, this book is your essential companion to any vegan recipe book, creatively constructed to provide the body with everything it needs.
