Vitamin B12 is one of the most essential vitamins to have in check. It controls everything from memory to fatigue and is all too common for non-meat eaters to have a lack of it because of diet. B12 is something that is not naturally found in many ingredients aside from meat and fish, so it’s really important that vegetarians and vegans get it in other ways. Here are some alternatives aside from supplements to make sure you’re keeping your body balanced.

Fortified Cereal

Although cereal can often be very sugary, you can still find some types of cereal that have minimal sugar but are still fortified with B12. The important thing is to make sure you are looking at portion size to make sure you’re not consuming too much sugar or calories.

Milk

If you’re already having cereal, you’re probably going to pair it with milk. All dairy milks have B12, but if you’re not into dairy milk, most non-dairy milk also has B12 in it. You have to check the companies, but most soy, coconut, hemp, etc. kinds of milk have some amount of B12 in it.

Nutritional Yeast

Most nutritional yeast is fortified with B12 which makes it even more magical! Use it whenever you want a cheesy flavor or use it to make sauces.
