As a result, you have come across the right place because today we are sharing a cheat sheet, the iron rich foods vegetarian ultimate list!

Basically, helping with the transportation of oxygen to the parts of our body that needs it. Therefore, VERY vital.
Furthermore, if we begin to lack iron something bad starts to happen. Our body can no longer make enough healthy oxygen-carrying blood cells. Uh…oh. Yes, uh oh indeed! From there you can develop a lack of energy and begin to experience a dip in mental as well as physical performance. Low iron levels can cause a reduction in stamina and mental focus.
As one can see, iron is not something we can just forgo. Many choose to get their daily requirement from meat; however, if that is not your lifestyle or you just rather consume iron found in plants then the following list will certainly help you out!

The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life!
Beyoncé put out one post and she already has fans shoveling in grass. Okay, that is a little drastic, but the point is that many are now willing to give a vegan diet a try. The GreenPrint Project is a “system” that was created to help people get healthier and in turn sexier by turning to a plant based diet.
As a result, Beyoncé and her hubby, Jay Z are challenging their fans to consume better foods. Both Bey and Jay have been apt vegan dieters and the results are in the vegan pudding. When Queen Bey slims ALL THE WAY down this is the diet secret she uses. Therefore, if it is good enough for the queen, now we all can finally have the body of a celebrity… without the knife or needle.
The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life
So then, how does this all work? Marco Borges, the trainer of Beyoncé and Jay Z; and the mastermind behind GreenPrint Project briefly summarizes it this way,
“The Greenprint is a program for a health transformation. It is also a blueprint for plant-based eating. And, yes, it is vegan, but with a difference.
You don’t have to change every item in your diet. Start with one change like meatless dinners and build on that. The road to well-being starts with making informed decisions that will help you shop, cook, eat and feel better.
Did you know? The best sources of protein are plant based; like beans, whole grains, nuts and seeds. Love food that loves you back. Love food that will give you health and vitality.”
Want to take the plunge so that you can win some Bey tickets? Well, to get started all you need is a positive attitude, determination, 22 days; along with Marcos Borges 22 Day Nutrition Program. Acook book that tells you everything you have to do.
Yes, you will need to be firmly dedicated for 22 days straight. Why? Well, Borges is utilizing the proven technique that it takes 22 days to make something a habit. So in 22 days you will be more in the swing of things when it comes to eating vegan. So much so you may never go back.
Furthermore, the online 22 Days Meal Planner (which comes as a $14 monthly subscription, so we are not referring to the book in this case); comes with meal plans, assistance and even a food delivery option if you live in certain areas. This will no doubt help you to stay on track and focused on reaching your goal.
Our next post will be pretty in-depth when it comes to the nutrition plan. So if you are really wanting to try this out be sure to read it.
Besides the 22 day plan, picking of The GreenPrint Project book itself will be very helpful. What’s inside? The GreenPrint Project page had this to say,
“The most revolutionary plant-based lifestyle is here! With meal plans, more than 60 delicious recipes; step-by-by guidelines; and inspirational success stories; the book will forever change your approach to food and your perspective on health.”
The GreenPrint Project -Eat Vegan See Beyonce in Concert for Life (Continued)
However, one quick word on the free concerts for life. Yes, the contest is very real. To enter you must sign up online at www.thegreenprintproject.com and pledge to give the vegan lifestyle a try. Must be 18 years and older, plus be a U.S. resident.
If you do win you can expect one free concert per tour. Lastly, the free concerts will only be for up to 30 years. So kinda not quite a lifetime (LOL); BUT, that places Bey and Jay in their 70s-80s so you probably will not miss much.

Honest Truth: Are All Gluten Free Foods Nasty?
Are all gluten free foods nasty? No. However, you will need to shop around and be willing to test out a bunch of brands; until you locate what tastes “normal” to you.
While going gluten free you will notice that bread does not seem to taste the same like gluten bread. Pasta is not quite pasta. Moreover, even crackers seem to be a little bit off. You see, the issue is if you have been eating processed foods with gluten all your life; you are used to various tastes and flavors that food companies have manufactured.
Most gluten free foods will not possess these exact same flavors, if as much flavor at all. As a result, you may have to readjust your taste buds some and be willing to search out like a treasure hunter all gluten free foods that seem to be more like “the real thing.” Nonetheless, do not worry they are out there!
Honest Truth: Are All Gluten Free Foods Nasty – There’s Hope
For instance, food brand B Free sells various types of breads from rolls to bagels and sliced loaves. Their bread products are awesome because you can toast them up like gluten filled bread without them falling apart or melting away.
While UDI’s is a major name in the gluten free realm, a lot times their products fall short in the taste department. It can feel like you are consuming bland cardboard. However, even if you are unable to discover gluten free products with tons of awesome flavor; there are some things you can do to up the taste factor.
Going back to bread try using very flavorful cheese or sliced meats to give the bread of your choice a much needed boost. Boars Head is absolutely a savior in this department! Their meats and cheeses are gluten free and FULL of flavor. Making them a safe find for those aiming to stick to a gluten free diet as well as a food haven for celiacs.

Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?
Should I take a multivitamin? That is the question that is plaguing many health-conscious ladies around the world. Furthermore, things get even more confusing when experts with varying views and opinions also weigh in on this topic.
For instance, some health experts say that eating only good, clean, nutritious food is all a person needs. Yet, others still believe strongly that consuming a multivitamin has its place in a proper diet. Therefore, who is right and who is wrong? Also, should taking a multivitamin be a decision that is made more due to a person’s lifestyle or schedule?
Black Girl Fitness- Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?
The truth is multivitamins cannot replace good nutritious food, however, they can help. Mr. David Levinsky is a professor at Cornell University. In regards to taking multivitamins daily he says, “I take a multivitamin every day as a little insurance policy. For certain groups of healthy people, especially those whose diet has nutritional gaps, a multivitamin can help fill in those gaps.”
Moreover, health and nutrition expert Madelyn Fernstrom offers up another good reason as to why taking multivitamins could be a benefit. Fernstrom is a professor at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. In reference to multivitamins Madelyn says, “In a perfect world we would all eat a variety of fruits and vegetables. We would all exercise regularly, but that’s not a reality. People can be strapped for time or money and don’t meet their daily nutrient needs. Also, you have to remember that many studies look at large population groups, not individuals.”
Should I Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary?
So then, if a person does decide to take a multivitamin doing so will have its benefits. No, it will never take the place of a good meal. However it will have the ability to help supplement an already healthy diet so that a person can meet the recommended requirements for certain minerals as well as vitamins.
Nevertheless, that brings us to a brand-new issue. What type of supplement or multivitamin should a person take? Also, are all multivitamins created equal?
The scary answer to that last question is that, no, not all multivitamins are created equal. That is because some companies are allowed to sell multivitamins that are not even hundred percent completely derived from actual food. A real concern for anyone who is just trying to live a healthier lifestyle.
Take a Multivitamin or is it Unnecessary? (Cont.)
However, there is a practical solution to this health issue. Enter… Silver Fern Brand Whole Food Multivitamin. What makes this brand of multivitamin so different? Silver Fern answers, “Here at Silver Fern we believe you should get the most of your vitamins and minerals through the food you eat! But sometimes it’s hard to consume 8 cups of broccoli 11 cups of kale and 33 cups of spinach in the day we made it easy with our whole food multivitamin just two little capsules a day get the job done!”
But wait there’s even more benefits to taking Whole Foods multivitamins. Silver Fern continues, “A lot of you are wondering about multivitamins and why ours are different. So here it is: vitamins can be synthetic or natural. Many of the multivitamins on the market are synthetic parentheses meaning made in a lab parentheses rather than from actual real food! Companies can label it as natural as long as it contains 10% derived from plants. Silver Fern vitamins are hundred percent natural. Every bit coming from real fruits and vegetables! They are blended up and then we remove the cellulose (plant fiber) sugar, and protein… leaving dense nutrients that are then freeze-dried. We care what you put in your body and it was a frustration with what was on the market that drove us to create this unbeatable product!”
