I made this - with a few changes of course 🙂OMG OMG! Used chickpeas, silken tofu, green olive brine, red pepper paste, lemon juice and nooch. Even my non-vegan grandchildren loved it!

Please please type the recipe somewhere, it is not on the website page or the video description, and you don't have graphics with the ingredients & quantities. I've wanted to make this recipe since this video came out, but I have a hard time hearing everything properly. I love the types of food you make, but it makes it so hard when I can't read a recipe anywhere.. Thank you so much for all your hard work

I had tried chickpeas in the past, but I've found butter beans (dried lima beans) are better texture and flavor and no straining needed. I just use soy milk in mine, so not as much fat, but I've also added a little cashew butter. After watching your channel, I do have vegan lactic acid and it's really a game changer for cheeze sauce. 💜 A little something I make now, too, smoked tofu cheeze spread and sauce. 😋🤤

Yes, after more than 11 years of being vegan, I don't have problems with gas at all anymore. I did have a period around 2019 where I got back into the "musical fruit" realm, which was after I had my appendix removed and had to take antibiotics. That messed up my gut microbiome for a while I guess, but by now it's all good once more.

great. also if anyone is worried about gas from chickpeas, it does seem to make a huge difference if you peel them. it takes a little work to peel them but it can actually be fun to do, and really only takes a few minutes. its not a case of peeling one by one but putting both hands, all digits in there and some water to roll the peas around and let the skin easily slip off and float to the surface. you need to keep tossing and thumbing the peas for a while til youve got all/most of the skins off but if youre worried about gas, trust me, its worth it, and its actually quite a fun sensation if you arent rushing.

It's also not Adam Ragusea's really cool sodium citrate hack. But this hits the spot.

Looks great! However, avoid the higher saturated fat and chemicals in coconut cream, especially polysorbate 60 (E435), which can harm gut function and increase intestinal permeability. Opt for low-saturated fat plant milks like oat milk. Silken tofu is also a creamy, heart-healthy alternative without additives.

@ludicrousone8706 10 ай бұрын

Oat milk usually contains sunflower oil for creaminess

@gitbox 10 ай бұрын

Silken tofu has been a game changer for me. Cream sauces and cheese has been the hardest for me to give up, plus I'm lazy with a busy life, so was hard to find the time to make the cashew based sauces. Silken tofu straight out of the package and I can have a creamy sauce ready to eat in minutes

I need to try this and compare it to Daiya. I actually bought a box so next time I make regular mac & cheese for my husband and son (who aren't vegan), I wouldn't feel left out, lol.

@@emartin851My husband complained once and said my daiya smelled stinky. I said go smell your dairy cheese. He couldn't believe his smelled even stronger lol. Once in a while I use Daiya for both of us. He really can't tell the difference except the melting factor. He just feels bad using mine because it's so expensive & I don't have the luxury of being able to use both. I have been dairy free 18 yrs. due to it making my autoimmune disease act up & causing severe intestines problems very similar to Chron's. Can't have gluten or eggs either. I honestly feel fine without any of it but miss the unfertile eggs from time to time. It does make me feel better not contributing to those industries though so no pain for anyone. Win win!

Pail or apple cider vinegar/ sauerkraut juice for the sharpness and acidity of cheese. Tahini for the nuttiness of cheese. Onion powder r fresh onion for the sweetness and stock flavour. Stock cube for umami. Cook carrots in the water with the pasta to increase the nice sweetness.

I often do very similar -- tofu + a can of beans (any)-- but I add a jar of salsa. It makes a protein-packed dip, but you can easily make it a sauce! The salsa adds enough flavor that you really dont need to add anything else, though I sometimes add nutritional yeast because I'm addicted to it. If I'm feeling lazy, blended tofu/beans can also be added to a jar of pasta sauce to make it extra creamy. Another great video! You really do a good job highlighting chickpeas, but I'm just gonna throw this out there -- lima/butter and great northern beans are really underrated. If youre not caring about color, black beans are good, too. Just dont forget the other beans! 😜
