  1. Where do vegan children get their nutrients? (Note: Soy formula is recommended for vegan infants; soy milk lacks sufficient fat and other nutrients to meet an infant's needs.) Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12-fortified foods include some brands of soy milk and rice milk, meat substitutes, breakfast cereals, and Vegetarian Support Formula nutritional yeast. Vitamin D: Sunlight exposure is one source of vitamin D. Where regular sunlight exposure is not possible, some brands of soy milk or rice milk, orange juice, and some cold cereals are fortified with vitamin D. Calcium: Good sources include calcium-fortified soy milk and orange juice and many brands of tofu. (Read the label for calcium content since this varies.) Dark green, leafy vegetables including collard greens, kale, mustard greens and turnip greens also provide calcium. Protein: Beans, grains, soy products, meat substitutes, nuts, and nut butters all provide protein. Iron: Look for iron in whole or enriched grains and grain products, iron-fortified cereals, dried beans, green leafy vegetables, and dried fruits.
