Whether you live in New York City or are just visiting the Big Apple, you may be thrilled to learn that Spicy Moon restaurant now offers vegan food on the High Line daily 8am to 7pm. The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. Spicy Moon’s food stand is located not far from the 15th Street entrance to the High Line and offers classic Chinese Szechuan dim sum dishes such as a spicy tofu bun, dan dan noodles, dumplings, and cold sesame noodles. They also sell vegan pastries and desserts along with beverages. We tried their chocolate moon croissant and it was delicious!

According to VRG’s Nutrition Advisor, Reed Mangels, PhD, RD, there are times when people’s protein needs are higher. For example, in pregnancy, the recommendation for protein is 25 grams higher than it is when someone is not pregnant. That’s an increase of about 50%. Older adults may have higher protein needs than younger adults. Athletes may have somewhat higher protein needs than non-athletes (1). It’s entirely possible to meet protein needs with a vegan diet. Sometimes, choosing a higher protein plant milk can help to meet protein needs.
We’ve identified some higher protein plant milks. Since plant milks are often also used as a source of calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, we’ve included information about whether the milks we identified are fortified with these nutrients.
See the list of higher-protein plant milks here: https://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2024issue2/2024_issue2_higher_protein.php
