Ever since I quit eating meat, my mom who’s a nurse has been concerned about my B12 intake. While it’s not as popular of a question for vegans as “Where do you get your protein?”, “Where do you get your B12?” is still something vegans and vegetarians are asked pretty frequently.

My Very Vegan Valentine's Day
