Thank you so much for all the get better wishes on my previous post about my B12 deficiency. Heartwarming and much appreciated π
Though it is nothing new, been there before, this time it didn't take months for doctors to find out what's the matter. So that means we can tackle the issues straight away and I must say today I already feel less tired and slowly enjoying life again.
Let's hope the supplements and vitamin B12-rich plant-foods(which are very limited) do the trick and I don't have to rely on injections again like in the past.... fingers crossed.
Today's vitamin B12-rich food βͺ SHIITAKES
Next to the raspberry flavored vitamin b12 chewing tablet I got from the pharmacy, yesterday's b12-rich foods included kimchi and miso.... today we have shiitake on the menu.
Shiitake is a mushroom native to East Asia. Next to providing me with some much-needed B12, shiitake mushrooms are considered a medicinal mushroom in some ancient forms of natural medicine practices.
According to many nutrition calculators, however, shiitakes don't really provide B12, but the scientists who published the article Vitamin B12-Containing Plant Food Sources for Vegetarians tell a different story. Anyhow, whether they contain it or not, they are tasty and so good for you.
They are low in calories and offer many vitamins, minerals, and other health-promoting compounds such as terpenoids, sterols, and lipids, some of which have immune-boosting, cholesterol-lowering, and anticancer effects.
NEW TO BUDDHA BOWLS?
Never heard of a buddha bowl before? It definitely is a vegan staple dish at our home. For more info about buddha bowls read my previous post BUILD-YOUR-OWN BUDDHA BOWL for more info.
Today's Buddha bowl consisted of:
- Chickpeas roasted in the oven with chili powder, garam masala, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
- Roasted veggies (broccoli, zucchini, and carrot) with a little garam masala, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
- Cooked shiitake mushrooms and some other mushroom I don't know the name of lol (not a mushroom expert here as my hubby doesn't like them so I don't cook with them very often). I cooked them with olive oil and seasoned them with Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
- Raw veggies: arugula, bean sprouts, cucumber, tomato, white cabbage
- Avo dressing/sauce made of avocado, lime juice, moringa, spring onion, Himalayan pink salt, and black pepper.
AND SOME EXTRA ENERGY FROM THE SETTING SUN
Wishing you all a happy and healthy day α¦ α¦ α¦

Oh my gosh. The ultimate bowl. It has the greatest stuff in it and the roasted chickpeas are the icing on the cake!!!
Such a divine scenery and flavorful Buddha bowl Amy! What a perfect combination for a relaxing evening ππΏπ
oops accidentally entered another post... sneaky #fruitsandveggiemonday tag. Sorry for that so ignore this post.
This looks insanely delish. I do love smoked salt on my mushrooms too. Buddha bowls are the best... very anything goes!
Hmmm smoked salt never used that before. Let me see if I can find it here. Got Himalayan pink to do most cooking and a black salt from India I think that tastes like eggs. Have a beautiful day xxx
