    Whenever I add fresh orange/lemon/lime to something in a blender (like a smoothie or salad dressing), I always slice off a small, thin strip of the rind and chuck it in. You should try it! It bumps the flavour up so much and the smell is much more intense. And because everything is already being blended, you don't have to pull the zester/grater out and saves another thing to wash up! Great video as always! :)

    • @anin13mort
      @anin13mort Рік тому +3

      @@rebella5769 I don't think so. If you add any seed to the vitamix, it will blend. It is better/advised to blend the chia/flax seeds because they are so small we don't usually "bite through them" when eating an "unblended" meal, which means we don't get all the precious nutrients. So it's ok if you add the whole seeds to your blender. Oh and the vitamines or, more importantly, minerals, don't go away when blending, it is just easier for our bodies to absorb the omegas when the seeds are blended (because they are so small that we could otherwise just swallow them and get no use of it).

    Amazing video as always, with amazing inspiring meals. Just a little tip: if you steam your tempeh and then marinate it while it is still warm, it will soak up all the flavours. Once cooled, you can do whatever. Bake, grill, airfry... I cut up my tempeh and steam it in the microwave for about 6 minutes. That gets rid of the bitter flavour and I swear it smells like bacon once it's been steamed.

    Simnett look up a South Indian side dish called "Cabbage Thoran" on UA-cam. Its super easy and once you make that you won't have cabbage in any other way. It's super delicious and healthy and great addition to a salad bowl or even inside a wrap!

    Ah, what an inspiring video. Way to make the most of your environment for the video!! You know I've been feeling that spike of energy and motivation too over here in the UK. Not sure what it is, might be something in the environment :D
