Hi, I have been vegan for a month today and feeling great. However, I hate cooking and really take the simple, easy approach. I eat a lot of health food pre-packaged foods (Amy's, Aunt Trudy's, evol wraps, etc...). I notice a lot of people who end their vegan diets for "health" reasons. I truly believe veganism is the healthiest diet, but I want to make sure I do it right - FOR LIFE. I don't want to get tired or sick or anemic, etc...  I don't count anything - calories, protein, carbs, etc... and I have no ideas if I'm taking in enough vitamins. Please tell me the ABSOLUTE MOST IMPORTANT things I need to make sure I'm getting for a healthy life. And I hate cooking. Thank you!!! Kate

I would say greens!  I have a green smoothie every morning for breakfast and make sure to have a salad with mixed greens either for lunch (with tofu) or with dinner.  You can make some really amazing smoothies with spinach, bananas, some type of berry, and other flavorings (protein powder, raw cacao, etc.)  They really start the day off right.
