Thank you! I’ve been using your shake recipes from your book. I also do an orange strawberry one with the beans and that is really good too. I was wondering how long you store your beans in the fridge ? I’m not sure how much to make at one time.
Just purchased the zero fat ebook!!! Wowzers the shakes look delicious but most importantly they are easy and I have most of the ingredients already!!!!!! I keep my dry beans always stocked up! I have a huge bulk of beans in my pantry.
I am always scoffing at people who tell me they they "can't" (be bothered maybe) eat a WFPB diet because it is so expensive and difficult! I am on a super tight retirement budget, so sticking to the basics and seasonal products, and eliminating all the animal products, processed and packaged junk, and convenience items have cut my grocery bill dramatically... though ALL prices are so challenging as of late! Funny how we all have such different tastes... I'm apparently in a very small minority, as sweets usually have little appeal to me... even fruit, which I struggle to get enough of. I always steam my sweet potatoes to minimize their sweetness, and ripe bananas are just gross to me, they taste like nail polish or paint remover smells! LOL! Carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, oats, canned tomatoes, broccoli, salad greens, cabbage, dried legumes and grains are my top 10! I love the idea of your shakes and have enjoyed them as an occasional dessert, but replacing the option of a warm savory meal with a sweet one isn't for me. I wanted an equally easy and healthy savory option and since I have a decent blender that heats liquids by friction, it was pretty simple. I toss in those cooked beans, a mix of any and all raw diced veg, 1/2 cup of oats... and since I have never considered "milk" of any kind a beverage and rarely if ever buy any, I add some hemp hearts or a few nuts and 2 cups of boiling water to replace it, along with some miso, and whatever seasonings strike my fancy. I blend on high for 4 or so minutes until it's steaming and silky smooth. Yum, super easy, almost instant "cream" of anything soup! My favorites at the moment are cream of celery (with added greens), and cream of mushroom made by dry blending the oats, seeds and dried mushrooms to a powder before adding the hot water and other ingredients. Thank you so much for the inspiration, you are a rock star!!! a
Grasshopper smoothies sound delicious. Beans are what will make them filling and smooth and creamy. I’ve got Stasia’s newest book. I tried her recipes and you can’t even taste the beans just like she says - very satiating too.
Southern Ontario :) oh and it's not to say it can be found cheaper - but the ones I like at my local health food shop all range within $8-15 for a small carton 😳
All of these are on my plant based diet, and I am down 10 lbs ❤.
I'm so happy for you! 💓
Beans (black beans, chickpeas)
Sweet potatoes
Regular potatoes
Oatmeal
Banana
Dates (medjool is preference)
Plant based milk (unsweetened almond vanilla)
Greens (kale and fresh mints spinach, romaine lettuce)
Frozen fruit (e.g. berries, mango)
Thank you for the information - I started making my own oat milk a year ago and now we wouldn't use anything else. Love your recipe books by the way.
I just tried making cashew and almond milk. So easy to make and taste so much better.

I LOVE grasshopper ice cream drinks… I’m wondering if I can make one green smoothie style with fresh mint, banana, chickpea, kale and cocoa powder 🤔
I would use soy milk in place of the beans for protein. It would be more ice-cream-like.

Love it!!! I’ve tried the protein shakes adding beans and wow - who knew.
Love this!!
instead of poking holes in sweet potatoes i cut the ends off they bake faster
Your hair and make up are so pretty! Do you have a video for the rice bowls?
Hi there! Not sure if it is me but I believe I missed #8. Can you please mention that ingredient. Thank you.
I think it was dates?
The shakes are awesome thanks
I can see your eyes now. You have pretty, silver eyes. You are smart.
I noticed that everyone eats potatoes and sweet potatoes but how come not yams or white sweet potatoes are they not as healthy?
Oh I would think they are equivalent! For me just a matter of preference is all :)
I live in a small city in southern Italy and it's so exasperating that there is no frozen fruit available here! Maybe someday. Sigh 😊
How many ounces of your shakes consists as your replacement meal?
Where is number 8?😊
I guess kale and mint could count as 8 and 9 ☺️
Great job.. Where do you live in Canada.. I got 2 1.75 litres of oat milk for $ 9.50 this morning.. I have never seen it at $12.00

How do u make beans without insta pot
Cook on the stove or use a Crock Pot if you have one. Dry beans are best soaked overnight.
I do not soak chickpeas. They cook 2-3 hours in the crockpot.
