Suggestions and Tips:

Plant milks: Plant milks on their own and fortified contain many essential nutrients. And with all the different types, brands, and flavors, it is easy to experiment with. Milk is generally an emulsion of protein and fat in a water-based liquid. For plant milk, it's an emulsion of plant protein, oils, etc. The emulsion is where the creaminess comes from in milk. If you have less water, then it's (plant) cream. Plant based milk is nutritious and tasty, and it does not carry the harm and health problems associated with animal based milk.1 The most popular plant milk is soy milk (that comes from soybeans). Other plant milks include almond, rice, hemp, coconut, peanut, cashew, and oat. Most have the flavors: original/unsweetened, vanilla, and chocolate. All plant milks taste different, even within the same plant; the taste and thickness comes mostly from the brand. I have pretty much all plant-type milks and my favorites are almond, rice, soy, and hemp. My favorite brands are Almond Breeze, Rice Dream, Westsoy, Living Harvest Hemp, and So Delicious Coconut. Generally the more fat the plant milk has, the thicker it is. Although not in all cases Silk Almond is thick, with no extra fat added.

Fruit: It's a no-brainer that fruits are healthy for you, and full of antioxidants. Due to most fruits being sweet, then you most likely do not have to add an additional sweetener. Berries, açaí, grapefruit, papaya, grapes, and avocado are among the most nutritious fruits out there.2 3

Seeds: Seeds are highly nutritious and can be a great addition to smoothies. Flaxseed & hempseed are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed & hempseed can reduce inflammation, lower the amount of lipids, help with depression, fatigue, diabetes, arthritis, Alzheimer's, and more. Flax seeds contain more omega-3 fatty acid than fish. Another hempseed source is hemp milk. Flaxseed works best when ground and not heated.4 Fennel seeds have a strong antioxidant activity.5 Sunflower seeds are an excellent source of vitamin E and can help lower cholesterol.6 Pumpkin seeds has anti-Inflammatory benefits and may promote prostate health.7 Sesame seeds are a good source of calcium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, vitamin B1, zinc and dietary fiber. Sesame seeds have the highest total phytosterol content (400-413 mg per 100 grams, 100 grams is equivalent to 3.5 ounces) of nuts and seeds.8

Nuts: Nuts can be a good addition to smoothies due to it's nutrient content. Nuts generally have a very low glycemic index, and help lower blood sugar. Dietitians frequently recommend nuts be included in diets prescribed for patients with insulin resistance problems such as diabetes mellitus type 2. The fats in nuts mostly are unsaturated and monounsaturated. They are good sources of vitamin E and riboflavin (an antioxidant), protein, folate, fiber, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and selenium. Almonds and walnuts can lower serum LDL cholesterol concentrations and help prevent coronary heart disease. Raw walnuts are considered the healthiest nut, and contain omega-3 fatty acids.9 10 11

Thickener: A thickener for a smoothie is not necessary; but some like a nice, thick, and creamy smoothie. Bananas are a common thickener for smoothies; they are a good source of potassium and other nutrients that make it a good addition. Other thickeners include ice, silken/soft tofu, nuts, and seeds. You could also just add less liquid and more solid.

Sweetener: Most smoothies should be naturally sweetened if you use fruit and a vanilla plant milk. If you want to add a sweetener unsulphured blackstrap molasses has many health benefits. Other sweeteners include maple syrup, agave nectar, unrefined and cane sugar, brown sugar/turbinado sugar, stevia, cinnamon sugar, vanilla, barley malt syrup, sweet sorghum, brown rice syrup, and sugar beet.12

Updates

Hello readers of Vegan Peace Blog. I would like to let you all know that I have not forgotten about this blog nor am I giving it up anytime soon. A lot has been going on my life currently, which has made updating hard to do. You can always look through my 91 previous posts for vegan information, that I always try to keep up to date.

I will be posting two new blog posts soon hopefully, with more soon to follow. My 100th blog post is also coming up soon, so I will be working on that as well. If any of you have any ideas for my 100th blog post, please send me an e-mail or leave me a comment. I will also like to look into making a Vegan Peace banner and website, so if any of you have experience in that area please e-mail me or comment! I hope that all has been well with you all, and may peace, love, and veganism be with you all!

Thank you,
-Avi

Vegan Pregnancy

I have wanted to publish a blog post on vegan pregnancy for two years now, but other post got in the way. With all that said, this happens to be great timing, with fellow vegans Alicia Silverstone, Natalie Portman*, Emily Deschanel, and Alexis Stewart having vegan pregnancies. The first post is a guide on vegan pregnancy. To see the second post on raising vegan children, go here.

*Although, unfortunate recent news reports that Natalie Portman stopped being a vegan during her pregnancy. She apparently stated that her cravings craved animal products. Some sources state after her pregnancy she is vegan again.
