He also recommends serving sizes for each food, making it easier to ensure you\u2019re eating the right amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the Daily Dozen work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When trying vegan, it\u2019s normal to feel overwhelmed by nutrition because much of the information may be new to you. You might worry about getting all the nutrients you need. But using Dr Greger\u2019s Daily Dozen as a template for creating your tasty <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/en-us\/recipes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan meals<\/a> means you can enjoy plant-powered living without being confused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make the Daily Dozen fuss-free, we\u2019ve created a checklist and planner you can print off and stick on your fridge or kitchen cupboard:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Daily-Dozen-Checklist-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daily Dozen Checklist<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Daily-Dozen-Weekly-Planner-2016.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Daily Dozen Weekly Planner<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some food sources and serving size suggestions from Dr Greger\u2019s book to help you understand how to use the Daily Dozen and to ensure you\u2019re getting the nutrients you need every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Beans are staple foods in a plant-based diet, packing plenty of protein, fibre and other key nutrients. Fill up on black beans, butter beans, cannellini beans, chickpeas, lentils, edamame\/soya beans, peas, kidney, haricot and pinto beans. Enjoy them in salads, chilli dishes or even home-made burger patties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>60g hummus or bean dip \u2013 (3 tbsp)<\/li><li>130g cooked beans, lentils, tofu \u2013 (1\/3 tin\/can beans, drained or 1\/3 standard tofu block)<\/li><li>150g fresh peas or sprouted lentils<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Berries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Berries are versatile foods you can enjoy fresh, frozen, blended, dried or straight from the pack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re also the healthiest fruits. Colourful foods are often healthier because they contain antioxidant pigments. The colours are the antioxidants, which means red onions have more than white, red grapes have more than green, red apples have more than green, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Include plenty of acai berries, barberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries, cranberries, goji berries, raspberries and strawberries in your diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>60g fresh or frozen &#8211; (3 tbsp)<\/li><li>40g dried &#8211; (1 generous handful)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries.jpg\" alt=\"A flatlay of different berries in containers - raspberries, cherries, blueberries. All of these are core foods in a vegan diet. \" class=\"wp-image-84146\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/berries-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Fruits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fruits contain many essential micronutrients needed for our bodies to thrive, so make sure you eat enough. Go for apples, dried apricots, avocado, bananas, clementines, dates, dried figs, kiwi, limes, nectarines, oranges, pears, black plums and pomegranates (with dried fruit it&#8217;s recommended to choose the unsulphured varieties).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re drinking fruit, blending is better than juicing to preserve nutrition. Adding citrus\/zest to your meals not only adds colour and flavour, but also nutritional value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 medium-sized fruit<\/li><li>120g cut up fruit<\/li><li>40g dried fruit \u2013 (1 generous handful)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cruciferous Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These are loaded with nutrients, making them must-haves for vegans. Eat plenty of rocket, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, horseradish, kale, mustard greens and watercress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chop up your veg about 40 minutes before you cook it. This preserves the healthy enzymes within. When making soup, blend the veggies first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>30-80g chopped<\/li><li>12g Brussels or broccoli sprouts \u2013 (approx. 2 sprouts)<\/li><li>1 tbsp horseradish<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to eating plant-based, you can\u2019t get enough greens! Rocket, collard greens, kale, spinach, Swiss chard and cabbage are all ideal veggies to add to your plate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can\u2019t get the kids to eat their greens? Smoothies will solve this. Choose a liquid, ripe fruit and fresh greens. For example, 250ml of water or plant milk, a frozen banana, 120g of frozen berries, and 60 grams of baby spinach would be a classic green smoothie. Baby spinach may have higher levels of phytonutrients (the good stuff) than mature spinach leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add some plant fats to your salad to maximise absorption. When researchers tried feeding people a salad of spinach, romaine, carrots, and tomatoes along with a source of fat, there was an impressive spike in carotenoid phytonutrients in their bloodstream over the next eight hours. That\u2019s just a single walnut or a spoonful of avocado or shredded coconut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>60g raw \u2013 (1\/5 of bag)<\/li><li>90g cooked<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many veggies to choose from, where do you start? Artichokes, asparagus, beetroot, peppers, carrots, sweetcorn, garlic, mushrooms, okra, onions, pumpkin, sea vegetables, sugar snap peas, squash, sweet potato, tomatoes and courgettes are great veggies to work with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>White cauliflower doesn\u2019t appear to have much to offer at first glance, but because it belongs to the cruciferous family, it\u2019s one of your healthiest options. Similarly, white mushrooms provide micronutrients not found anywhere else in the plant kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When picking out tomato products, choose whole, crushed or chopped tomatoes instead of tomato sauce, puree, or paste. Drinking tomato juice is great for your immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>60g raw leafy veg \u2013 (3\/4 of salad bag)<\/li><li>50g raw or cooked non leafy veg<\/li><li>125ml veg juice<\/li><li>7g dried mushrooms<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"960\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colourful-fruit-veg.jpg\" alt=\"A flatlay of colourful fruits and vegetables. \" class=\"wp-image-84160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colourful-fruit-veg.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colourful-fruit-veg-400x320.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colourful-fruit-veg-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/colourful-fruit-veg-800x640.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Flaxseeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Greger can\u2019t recommend these enough in his Daily Dozen checklist. Flaxseeds are nutritional powerhouses. Rich in omega 3 fatty acids and fibre, flaxseeds make it easy to get the goodness your body needs. Stir them into your morning oatmeal or blend in your smoothie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving size:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 tbsp, ground<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nuts and Seeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nuts and seeds are also <a href=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/vegan-food-essentials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">vegan food essentials<\/a>, offering plenty of goodness despite their small size. Almonds, Brazil, cashew, chia seeds, hazelnuts, hemp seeds, pecans, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and walnuts are all ideal. Nuts make great stand-alone snacks, while seeds work well in yoghurts, oatmeal, smoothies and salads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of all the nuts studied, researchers found the greatest benefit was associated with walnuts, particularly for preventing cancer deaths. People who ate more than three servings of walnuts per week appeared to cut their risk of dying from cancer in half.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>30g nuts or seeds \u2013 (1 handful)<\/li><li>2 tbsp of nut or seed butter<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Whole Grains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A considerable amount of what we eat should be whole grains, as they provide key nutrients and energy. Go for barley, brown rice, buckwheat, millet, oats, corn, popcorn, quinoa, freekeh, rye, teff, wholewheat pasta and wild rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving sizes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>100g hot cereal \/ cooked grains, pasta, sweetcorn kernels<\/li><li>50g cold cereal<\/li><li>1 tortilla wrap \/ slice of whole-meal bread<\/li><li>30g popped popcorn<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1.jpg\" alt=\"A bowl of oatmeal with nuts\" class=\"wp-image-79730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/oatmeal-1-800x533.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\" \/><figcaption>Image Credit: AdobeStock<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Herbs and Spices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Herbs and spices don\u2019t just provide flavour. Many of them have impressive health benefits, which is why they\u2019re included in the Daily Dozen. For example, research suggests turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experiment with Allspice, basil, bay leaves, cardamom, chilli powder, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, cumin, curry powder, dill, fenugreek, garlic, ginger, horseradish, lemongrass, marjoram, mustard powder, nutmeg, oregano, smoked paprika, parsley, pepper, peppermint, rosemary, saffron, sage, thyme, turmeric and vanilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving size:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1\/4 tsp of turmeric, along with any other (salt-free) herbs and spices.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Beverages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As well as staying hydrated with water, you can enjoy other drinks that are good for you. Dr Greger recommends black tea, chai tea, vanilla, chamomile tea, coffee, earl grey tea, green tea, hibiscus tea, hot chocolate, jasmine tea, lemon balm tea, matcha tea, almond blossom oolong tea, peppermint tea, rooibos tea and white tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Serving size:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>1 glass<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When you start using your Daily Dozen checklist and meal planner to keep track of what you eat, you\u2019ll understand vegan nutrition in no time!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\">PAGE UPDATED NOVEMBER 2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not sure how to meet your nutritional requirements?
