Tegemite

B12. This is a biggy for anyone on a vegan diet or embarking on one. In this day and age of chemical sprays like glyphosate, it is next to impossible to get B12 naturally. Even animals that people eat are given B12 shots.

So we are left with three options. A daily B12 spray or the addition of fortified foods into your diet, and one of my favourite is nutritional yeast. If you are a Vegemite or Promite eater you are sure to be getting your adequate amount of B12. Everyone who is a regular Vegemite eater that I know always comes back from the doc’s with a good B12 reading.

I don’t eat vegemite as it is not gluten free, nor is it organic, but lately I have been making my own 

I have called it Tegemite, 

and it is delicious to the max, and if I have 2 pieces of toast for breakfast or lunch with 2 tsp of Tegemite on each piece of toast (depending on the fortification of the brand of nutritional yeast you buy). 

You can also use the Tegemite in soups and stews too, to give them a lovely strong flavour.

I am not a regular Vegemite eater, I don’t follow any protocol of butter first etc. – because I don’t eat butter.

I do this instead 
Tegemite 
Avocado 
Tomato or cucumber 
Sauerkraut 

Delicious to the max.

If you don’t like Vegemite or Tegemite you can just have 2 to 3 teaspoons of nutritional yeast a day and voila! Enough B12 for the day.
