Hi again Janet. THANK YOU for connecting. I hope that you enjoyed Aging Powerfully. It is a good guide for on-and-off check ins. 🌻🥰🌻

Wow, what a kind comment, THANK YOU! It’s the plant based diet and lifestyle. 🌻🥰🌻

Hi again Sudha! Thank you for getting back to me about your health. As a lifestyle and health coach, working at a Lifestyle Medical clinic, I can tell you that, by carefully following our lifestyle recommendations, which you would see outlined in my book, and at the College of Lifestyle Medicine, and following the whole food plant based diet, you can improve your health tremendously, and feel so much better. I’m rooting for you! 🌻🥰🌻

That is a great idea Jeanette. I will follow your recommendation. THANK YOU! 🌻🥰🌻

I was thinking you could just grind the cashews in a coffee grinder. No need to soak.

Thanks for connecting, and I applaud your plant based choice. Please stay in touch.🌻🥰🌻

Thank you so much for your sweet comment, and I appreciate your getting my book. Enjoy it funny, I wrote it more than three years ago and I still use the sections on Lifestyle as a reference. 🌻🥰🌻

Thanks!

Hi Kay, you’re welcome!🌻🥰🌻

I actually made a version with this silken tofu without any nuts or beans, and it turned out, wonderfully just the way she made it, but without the cashews. 😊

@@dianatrans1804 Oh great!! Thanks for sharing that!! 🌱🕊💚

Good idea, let me know how you like it with the beans🌻🥰🌻

THANKS Diana!🌻🥰🌻

Hi godly Vegan! The tofu really ups the game for nutrition, especially protein, and creates a very nice consistency 🌻🥰🌻

Thanku so much I am going to make it in the next 2 days.

THANKS Susa, I appreciate your comment. It’s the plant based diet. 🌻🥰🌻

Oh thank you! 🌻🥰🌻

Good point Venus. If I didn’t color it I would indeed be grey. Some day, but I’m not ready. I use Madison Reed. It is the cleanest that I found and it is a good product. Madison-reed.com🌻😊🌻

@@NanSimonsen i love forks over knives!

Hi! I’m not sure, I’m not familiar with it. Do you have an equivalence guide? I’ve used JOI cashew paste and it works well.

@@NanSimonsen no to all, never used it , im new at all this just trying to learn how to be a healthy person at 67 years old. I will try to find the equivalent measers and i will get back to you and let you know if it works. Thanks 😊

@@NanSimonsenmy food processor wouldn’t get the nuts smooth enough. I cheat and just buy cashew butter. It seems expensive, but it lasts ages and a tub goes a long long long way. Great thickener for curries and other sauces too.

@@kiwifeijoa Thank you. It’s nice to know it’s possible, but I don’t own a blender, just a food processor and a spice mill. The cupboards in my kitchen are now full of ingredients for Italian, Persian, Lebanese, Thai cooking and regular bread making, so I don’t have room for many gadgets. I got rid of the blender, the sandwich toaster and pasta machine 10 years ago.

Back to the cashew powder, as with the popular powdered peanuts, they’re simply lower fat, and can be reconstituted with water. I’m just guessing here, but if you create a paste, that’s the equivalent to the volume of the cashews, it may not have the same mouth filled, because the fat will be less,but it should work. Keep us informed Wynona, and anyone that tries it. With the cashew paste because it’s basically a cashew butter I created an equivalency by matching calories if that makes sense; I.e. The calories of the quantity of cashews called for, matching the calories of the cashew cream. The cashew cream is certainly a way to guarantee smoothness.

Hi! In the past that was the belief about soy. Research has shown that that it is hugely beneficial for us. Check it out at Nutritionfacts.org. 🌻🥰🌻

Hi Stan! Yes, she was a terrific chef. Using real ingredients is much better than processed. But whole foods that are plant based are a game changer. Speaking of which, may I suggest that you watch The Game Changers. Super informative. 🌻🥰🌻
