Vitamin B 12 Creams

Question: im a new vegan and need help with what things i need to put on my shopping list? i recently went vegan and i've been ok for the first few days but now its time to go buy food and vitamins and all that stuff to stay healthy, what needs to be added to my list? i already have... • Fresh fruits and vegetables • Soy, rice, or nut milk • Coconut milk and coconut cream • Soy sauce and tamari • Vegetarian stock • Vegan margarine • High-quality oils • Nondairy sour cream • Maple syrup • Agave or brown rice syrup • Florida Crystals • Nutritional yeas • Agar-agar • Arrowroot and/or cornstarch • Canned tomato sauce • Staples • Soy mayonnaise • Soy yogurt • Vitamins b-12 and flax seed • Tofu and tempeh what else do i need? umm no i haven't had meat or a "juicy steak aka rotting flesh in your stomach eww" for 7 years, the only non-sense is you lurking on a vegan page to tell me to eat meat. thanks.

Answer: Here are some of the things that are typically found in my kitchen, though some aren't bought each and every week. And by no means am I saying all of these are healthy... Freezer: Blue berries, broccoli, mixed vegetables, whole kernel sweet corn, extra bread/bagels/pita, ... Fridge: Rice and/or hemp milks, broccoli, hummus, cucumber, carrots, cooked pasta/rice/quinoa/vegetables. When in season, I buy eggplant a lot. Oh, also have jam (homemade but not by me), Earth Balance ("butter"), Vegenaise ("mayo")... Counter: Pita, wraps, normal bread, hamburger buns, bagels, ... Cupboard: Quinoa, rice, rice noodles, pasta (linguine, elbow, spiral, shells), rice and/or hemp milks. Canned goods: Black olives, baby corn, some beans. Bagged beans. Ramen (yeah, guilty pleasure. I use my own seasonings.). Peanut butter. Potatoes. Pasta sauce. Cereal. Nuts/seeds (bought in bulk), specifically macadamia nuts, peanuts, and sunflower seeds. All raw and unsalted. I think that's about it... In the winter months I have stuff to make a lot more warm foods, like chili and soup, but in the summer I don't care too much for warm foods. That's what I typically eat, lol. Maybe that'll give ya some ideas. As far as supplements, pretty much the only "supplement" I "take" is Nutritional Yeast. Oh, and I add ground flax seeds to my smoothies.
