Um.... don't eat animal products? J/K

Seriously... chickpeas and spinach! Oh and "Power foods"!

Power Foods
Broccoli: High in iron, calcium, and Vitamin C.
Wheat Germ: High in iron, B vitamins, zinc, and protein. Sprinkle this on soy yogurt, sprinkle some in baked goods, throw some into fruit smoothies, or sprinkle on top of stir fries.
Nutritional Yeast: High in B12. Sprinkle it on your veggie stir fries and on popcorn.
Flaxseeds and flax oil: High in essential fatty acids. Drop a teaspoon or a tablespoon into fruit smoothies, mix with soy yogurt, mix into your baked goods.
Fruit juices: Look for fruit juices made of 100% juice and fortified with a LOT of vitamins. One glass of these juices usually covers 50-100% of your calcium, B12, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and a host of other vitamins. These juices are usually found in health food stores. Be sure to read the label.
Soymilk: Look for the soymilk brands that are fortified. Many have 30-50% of your calcium, B12, Vitamin D, and other B vitamins. Use them on cereal or when baking in place of cow's milk. And for a real treat, try Chocolate Silk!
Tofu: High in calcium and protein. I usually added some to stir fries, or rolled it in nutritional yeast and wheat germ and fried it up. Yum!
