I just made the peanut butter protein one, and oh my god, that granola is so good. gonna do the chocolate one with the protein powder, see how good that one turns out. you knocked it out of the park with this recipe.
Love what you've been doing man! been going with my massive prep days for about a year now and it's been life changing! My turn to give back now haha, as a heads up for the vanilla, you can take a thumb tack and pop a little hole in the seal instead of ripping it off, allows you to control it much more easily =D
I gave up dairy milk except for cooking/baking about 15 years ago and these are my go-tos for alternatives. Ripple unsweetened split pea milk is my favorite, it has 8g of protein and 70 calories per 8 fl oz serving. second favorite is high protein flax milk (5g protein, 45 cal per 8 fl oz), third favorite is oat milk (5g protein, 110 cal per 8 fl oz). depending on your macros, calories etc. they all give you good options and the taste and texture are 1000x better than almond milk. hope this helps anyone looking for good dairy milk alternatives!
thank you, I was board AF waning to snack but had nothing at home, except dry stuff so this inspired me to make some type of wing it crenola with what I could find and turned out so good
You can add some egg whites to the granola (decreasing sugar & fats by a bit if you want). I usually put 1 egg white per 2 cups oats. I also bake it at a lower temp, like 300 deg.
Could not agree more on the almond milk take. I prefer lactose free dairy milk, tastes great and it doesn’t expire for like 2 months even though I usually finish it in a week
Try Cashew milk or Macadamia nut milk! I like almond milk but its the most boring out of al the nut milks and since they're all unsweetened I just add a packet of Truvia or aspartame into my milk serving
This might be the video that will finally convince me to make my own granola after years of knowing how to. Your comment about the almond milk cracked me up...not sure how long you're doing your plant milk experiment, but I'd highly recommend getting almond butter and blending it with water, salt, vanilla, honey or another sweetner and you won't be torturing yourself at least 😂
I started making my own granola just because I i hated the plastic packaging, and people are always floored when I tell them it iust comes out of the air fryer.
I'm going to have to try to source some freeze-fried strawberry pieces and use that chocolate recipe to make some homemade Love Crunch. Thanks for the recipe, Josh!
Hey Josh, will definitely make this at home, thank you. Quick question. You once said you think Korean food is the best. What do you think of Mason Jar Instant Noodle Meal Preps? Its super convenient and nutritious and in some cases you dont even have to cook anything just add hot water once you wanna eat them. I would like to see your spin on it because im loving your recipes.
Crap! Missed the live premiere. Btw don't be a cry-ass about the vanilla. Extra is awesome. Lol! I'm gonna look at the weight and see this will be good for my backpacking trip. Calorie dense is good for that. Yummmmm. Big THANKS as always, Josh!
Josh, would it work to replace some or all of the whey protein for the peanut butter one with powdered peanut butter or use a peanut butter flavored protein?
Try (raw, undiluted) tehina, the macros are a bit different and it thickens stuff way more than PB so adjust accordingly. If you're allergic to sesame seeds then tough luck.
Lol, I just checked your channel today for some Granola-videos and was a little bit sad, that there was none... now, 2 hours later I find this... can you read my mind? :D
Hi Josh, this is kinda weird but I work out everyday in the gym and I SWEAR, I was working out next to you today😳 if that wasn’t you, that’s INSANE how much he looked like you !
Josh I'm not 100% sure but by eye I suspect the oats you're using are not whole oats despite what it says on the bag. I recently found out I can get properly-whole rolled oats locally (they look much browner, like the difference between whole and white rice), they taste much better, they roast much better, they have a far better bite to them. Whenever the store is out of those and I can only get the regular bleached ones they're so inferior to the whole oats it feels as if they're off even though they're fresh.
@@jaminwaite3867 Groats look completely different. I'm talking about rolled oats, with the same shape and pattern as any other thick rolled oats but if you put them side by side you'd say the common one was bleached before pressing.
No idea what's the exact difference in processing, but visually it's the same difference of whole vs white rice, whole vs white wheat, etc. Ever wondered why rolled oats look so pale? If they truly were whole cereal which was pressed, then the cracked skin would be significantly more visible than it is in "whole oats". Well, I have a jar of "whole oats" and a jar of properly-whole oats side by side and I can tell you one of them looks exactly like what Josh is using and was labelled as "whole", and the other one also labelled as "whole" looks significantly whole-ier.
Hey Josh, really enjoying your videos for some time now. I wanted to by the Zwilling starter set and using your link and promo code but the code only seems to work for US based customers, we able to use it in places like the Uk too? Thanks
Josh- Almond milk…….unsweetened, original Silk Almond milk is good. You mentioned missing “the sweet nectar of the utter”…..which I appreciate your humour (that’s why I watch you) but then you used Greek yogurt…..a dairy product……have your sweet nectar. 😆
Trust me, I think it’s the dumbest thing ever but I have been told I need to play along and use UA-cam’s features for the long term benefit of the channel so I’m giving it a chance
To fix the vanilla problem, I just poke a small hole in the paper seal on the top of the bottle, then it drips out instead if dumps.
Josh, can you make a grocery video of what you stock up on that can be used for the majority of your recipes?
i'll add it to the list
@@TheMealPrepManual thanks bro
God yes. This would be incredible.
+1

You could easily add protein to that one, the oil will make it even more seamless to add

i love how you explaine and sub the ingridient's amount to need to be used, im from eu and your vids is making mylife easier!!!

Some almond milk isn't bad, but it's usually one with sugar and vanilla flavouring.
you are arguably the best home cook that helps people lose weight and just cook i. general some healthy meals
You have to buy almond milk with vanilla flavoring. When I drank almond milk I would buy the unsweetened vanilla kind and add a bit of stevia.
I'm doing low calorie around 1800/day. While this isn't low calorie, this sure beats any cheat dessert health wise. Thanks
Been watching you for a while. Perfect video every time. 10/10 channel
To avoid spilling your vanilla you can pour it into a measuring spoon.
Try Cashew milk or Macadamia nut milk! I like almond milk but its the most boring out of al the nut milks and since they're all unsweetened I just add a packet of Truvia or aspartame into my milk serving

Sir Josh, my kitchen thanks you for what I am about to do
For anyone allergic to Peanut Butter, Sunflower Butter works especially well as a substitute.
Also tahini!
I started making my own granola just because I i hated the plastic packaging, and people are always floored when I tell them it iust comes out of the air fryer.

I made the chocolate granola and it was easy yet SO GOOD. Thank you!!!
I'm going to have to try to source some freeze-fried strawberry pieces and use that chocolate recipe to make some homemade Love Crunch.
Thanks for the recipe, Josh!
You have incredible videos, but my favorite thing is you are hilarious!!
I tried the double dark choc granola and it was REALLY good. I mixed it with a bit of butter and it felt like I was eating a brownie.
The chocolate one looks delicious.
it was so good
Can you use PB2 or do you need the fat to have it stick together?
Hey Josh, will definitely make this at home, thank you. Quick question. You once said you think Korean food is the best.
What do you think of Mason Jar Instant Noodle Meal Preps? Its super convenient and nutritious and in some cases you dont even have to cook anything just add hot water once you wanna eat them. I would like to see your spin on it because im loving your recipes.
Thank you Mayor 😄
Didn’t this already get posted last week? I had watched it already. Guess I was one of the lucky ones that saw it early.
It was up for 10 minutes on accident
Well gotta say the peanut butter is awesome. I made that this week.
What does it feel like to watch a video that was up on accident for 10 minutes? 😂
Hahaha! Every time you talk about veggies or Almond Milk, I lose it! I think the same way!
I've been on the hunt for a good granola recipe for MONTHS, hopefully this ends my search 🙏
I can't stop making it. I made roughly 2kg of it in this video and it was gone within a week
Internet Shaquille had a video on this, his PB&J recipe he posted in the description was also a solid one
Thanks - one of my fav sites. Bob in Nevada
Thanks Bob 🫡
Make pumpkin spice baked oats
might do the double chocolate one but add some protein powder to up the protein content a bit
Can you do a low Calorie granola?
I've just sat through a 9-minute Zwilling advert, and I'm okay with it. TBH, this is how all advertising should be.
Haha thanks for watching 😎
Crap! Missed the live premiere. Btw don't be a cry-ass about the vanilla. Extra is awesome. Lol! I'm gonna look at the weight and see this will be good for my backpacking trip. Calorie dense is good for that. Yummmmm. Big THANKS as always, Josh!
Josh, would it work to replace some or all of the whey protein for the peanut butter one with powdered peanut butter or use a peanut butter flavored protein?
yes probably
Will have to try these, i'm loving the apple, granola, yoghurt and honey mix. Its also a shame that your codes are US only.
Thinking about making that chocolate one with protein powder
What is your suggestion for the fat source instead of PB for those who are allergic?
coconut oil
Try (raw, undiluted) tehina, the macros are a bit different and it thickens stuff way more than PB so adjust accordingly. If you're allergic to sesame seeds then tough luck.
Always wondered if granola was easy to make and after watching this the answer is 'of course'.
Just remember to drink lots of fluids when you eat granola, otherwise you will feel bloated from the fiber.
Cool! Can this also be done using an air fryer instead?
Lol, I just checked your channel today for some Granola-videos and was a little bit sad, that there was none... now, 2 hours later I find this... can you read my mind? :D
Haha 😂
What can you substitute for maple syrup? In my country, it is not particularly popular and expensive. Is honey a good alternative?
Yeah that’s okay
@@TheMealPrepManual Thank you ;)
Hi Josh, this is kinda weird but I work out everyday in the gym and I SWEAR, I was working out next to you today😳 if that wasn’t you, that’s INSANE how much he looked like you !

Interesting. I’ve never heard of that
You’re probably thinking of oat groats. Rolled oats are pressed.
@@jaminwaite3867 Groats look completely different. I'm talking about rolled oats, with the same shape and pattern as any other thick rolled oats but if you put them side by side you'd say the common one was bleached before pressing.

I made something like this but i used banana instead of maple syrup turned out good. BTW why do you have FROZEN containers?
My mom found them in the discount bin and gave them to me
Do you think that i could replace maple syrup with honey on these? Affordable maple syrup is hard to find where i live sadly.
yes
I just noticed Josh sounds like the guy from Food Wishes
Suggestion on what do to to make it more crunchy ?
The flavor is amazing it’s just that it’s not crunchy enough. What should I be looking in doing better ?
It sounds like you may need to cook it longer
Almond milk is a good substitute if you're making a smoothie/protein shake - but I find it useless for most other things.
Josh a ton of your recipes call for chicken but I cannot get passed that warmed flavor. Do you have any tips or should I just avoid chicken?
Try decreasing your microwave power when reheating and see if it helps 👍
Hey Josh, really enjoying your videos for some time now. I wanted to by the Zwilling starter set and using your link and promo code but the code only seems to work for US based customers, we able to use it in places like the Uk too? Thanks
Unfortunately it only works in the US as the other Zwilling subsidiaries are separate entities
Thank you
Hey Josh, I tried to pay for a subscription on your website but wasnt able to
Send me an email with what is happening and any screenshots if you think they are necessary and I’ll figure it out. josh@mealprepmanual.com 👍
Gotta make the protein one!
Bro's friendly reminder it's bulking season again
I revoked the like when you added raisins ;-;
But I will try making granola nonetheless :D Alright, I give the like back! :D
you like raisins and you know it
How would I wash the vacuum bags?
I use hot soapy water
Josh🤝granola
so sad the discount code is only for us :(
unfortunately so
Casein protein works or too thick?
It’s probably too absorbent
Josh- Almond milk…….unsweetened, original Silk Almond milk is good. You mentioned missing “the sweet nectar of the utter”…..which I appreciate your humour (that’s why I watch you) but then you used Greek yogurt…..a dairy product……have your sweet nectar. 😆
Yeah that was for demonstration purposes. I didn’t eat it unfortunately. I had my disgusting coconut yogurt
Love The Granola...
Thank you 🙏
Very nice video
You need better almond milk. That 365 stuff is crap. Spend a bit more and get Califa Almond milk.
> Dairy-Free Experiment
> Yogurt
I didn’t eat the Greek yogurt and the other one was my disgusting coconut yogurt
Josh use Oat milk for the cereal, almond milk is trash
Almond milk is fine if you get a good brand
i bought some last week and it is definitely better but still not even close to as good as real milk
Yeeee haaawww
Ok, YES, the vanilla bottles! Why isn't this fixed yet?
Man, don't premier a meal prep video.

@@TheMealPrepManual Glad you dislike it as well. I liked that it came online the moment I was browsing YT though. Good recipe, esp like the last one
@@jaeden1132 thank you :)
Such a shame that granola is so calorie dense...
Almond milk so disgusting! Thanks for saying that
Talk about over complicating things
The macros of these are terrible.
Welcome to granola
So I could go to the store, pay a lot less, use less time, less effort and get granola OR I could do this?
Tough choice.
okay thanks
@@TheMealPrepManual no problem. A lot of your other meal prep things are good btw, don't let this tank your mood.
