Vegan sources of vitamin B12 include fortified plant-based milks, fortified cereals, nutritional yeast, and certain types of algae, several types of mushrooms, most meat and dairy replacements are fortified with b12.

And a single energy drink contains 5x or more the daily dose of b12.

So you could buy a bunch of processed crap with vitamins in it and hope you get enough.

...Or you could just take the vitamins.

I recommended just taking vegan b12 every day. It's a requirement and very small sacrifice to make for living a better life without having to consume animal parts
