What is nutritional yeast? Nutritional yeast is a non-active form of yeast that adds a delicious, cheesy flavor to many dishes. It is very high in vitamin B12. You can find it in the spice section of your local health food store.

  • Nutrition Tip

    Some people don't consider breakfast complete without eggs - scrambled, fried or hardboiled. But for those who don't like eggs or choose not to eat them, a tofu scramble comes mighty close to the "real thing." It takes even less time to prepare than scrambled eggs.

    Tofu is made from soybeans and makes a great substitute for meat. Some tofu is fortified with calcium and vitamin D, which keep your bones healthy. Another health benefit of tofu is from the isoflavones in it that may protect against certain types of cancer.
