Part 2/6:
Emmy kicks off her day with essential supplements - Vitamin B12 and D3. These supplements are crucial for anyone on a plant-based diet, as Vitamin B12 is not naturally found in plant foods. Living in Boston, where winter sun exposure is minimal, she makes a strong case for D3 supplementation, which combats widespread deficiency in the general population.
Breakfast: Tofu Scramble
The first recipe featured is a Tofu Scramble, a delicious and high-protein breakfast option. Using firm tofu, Emmy prepares a dish that boasts over 25g of protein. She explains that while the scramble itself is low in calories—around 270—pairing it with vegetables or whole grains can amplify its nutritional value.
