Written by Christine

Being vegan is a great way to help the planet, support local businesses, and most importantly have a healthy diet that is rich in fresh fruits, veggies, and whole grains. However, some vegans find it a bit of a challenge to ensure that they are getting all the essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients that they need, due to cutting out a variety of different foods from their diets. Luckily, there are nutritionists who specialize in vegetarian and vegan diets that can help you make sure that you are at your optimal level of health.
