Here's one!!
When making your fat free dressings, my favorite is, balsamic vinegar, whole grain mustard and maple syrup, add a sprinkle, or up to a tablespoon of ground flaxseed, depending on how much you make at one time.
It will help thicken it so it sticks to your greens.
And you get the health benefits of the flax as well...It's a win win!!
Nice! Thanks for sharing ☺️
What are your measurements or ratios?
I must try this, thx for sharing!
struggling with unhealthy eating habits, these vegan cooking hacks spoke to my journey. I used to find plant-based meals challenging, lacking creativity. The creator's tips felt like a revelation, simplifying my transition. Incorporating more vegetables and exploring diverse flavors became easier. The Aspect Health subtly highlighted aligns with my focus on a balanced lifestyle. Grateful for these hacks, making vegan cooking accessible and enjoyable.
So glad this was helpful! It doesn't have to be complicated, and it definitely doesn't have to taste gross. Keep it simple, but exciting enough to keep yourself on track. you've got this!
Blend silken tofu (or beans) + salsa (or any sauce) to make a protein-packed sauce or dip.
Nice! Great idea, thanks for sharing ☺️
Instead of trying to buy ripe avocados at the store that often end up being bruised and looking rough inside, I buy them rock hard and let them ripen at home. Perfect and no bruises 😅
Love it! Thanks for sharing
Also another little hack about buying unripe avocados. Made sure it still has its stem!! the stem protects the fruit from rotting.
@@loriemarchant5194 Ooo! Great tip!
Fantastic video. I just subscribed because I loved it so much. The reason I love this video is because you delivered a lot of great information in a short amount of time. BTW, here is my hack. If you add more plant milk and a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the nice cream you get a nice milkshake AKA a mylkshake.
Thanks for the sub! Thank you for your kind words and the great hack!
Exactly my thoughts 👍👌🤩
@MiriamStigsdotter oh thank you so much happy you’re here!
Yes! ❤
Don't forget to peel bananas before freezing. ❤ I learned hard way first time i froze some. 😂
Haha! Yes, very good point 😂
I like using white onions for veggie stalk. They have a nice flavor. Also my favorite vegan candy from a private vendor is pricey and other have alot of sugar. So i buy enjoy life chocolate melt the chocolate add vegan butter and almonds. Put the chocolate/ almond mix in freezer . And break in pieces. ❤
Great little hacks. Thank you for sharing with everyone💚
I can't tell you how much Banana Nice Cream I've had during my 9 vegan years! It is seriously a game changer. ♥
It's so good! I know, me too. I am going to turn into nice cream soon lol!
@@veganmichele The "nicecream" hack looks good. Do you freeze the bananas as soon as you purchase them or do you let them get overly ripe first and then freeze them?
@kaepar I either buy them ripe or allow them to ripen at home and then peel and freeze them.
I make banana nice cream with frozen dark cherries in my yonanas machine and it’s life saving! I sprinkle mine with a little salt!
Yes! I love a cherry version. Yum!
I do that same combo, and often add cocoa powder for a choco-cherry flavour 😋
@chelitabubb790 yum!
Looking for link to your salad dressing video you mentioned.
@sharielizabeth hi! It’s in the description of this video ☺️ Salad Dressings: ua-cam.com/video/1Db6zljdqUQ/v-deo.htmlsi=XOoGOy1qaktFLzqf
Thank you, I'm not truly vegan. I dip my toe in and like trying it out now and again. Thank you for all the tips. ❤
You're so welcome! That's great, regardless of what diet you follow I think we can all agree that getting in more fruits, veggies, whole grains, beans and legumes is a good thing :)
@constancegarcia8053 please consider going vegan for the animals and your health.
I love your hack video's and this one is SO SO GOOD for people who want to start going Vegan.
I hope you will always keep your feet on the ground and will stay who you are now, because you are fantastic the way you are.
Hi Francisca☺️ thank you for such kind words, I always value your thoughts. Thank you, that is absolutely my aim💚
One thing that improves my recipes is umami powder, made from mushrooms. It's easy to find on Amazon. A little bit just adds an extra something to recipes that replicate cheese or meat dishes. For example I tried some in your Parmesan (which was great by the way) and I think it adds a little extra.
Yes! Great idea💚
Love the hacks, Thanks! I love avocado toast with everything but the bagel sprinkled on top! I also blitz up in my food processor, ginger into small bits and then on a pan and freeze, after remove and put in a container/freezer bag. Same with garlic so I alway have it on hand to use. So as long as my food processor is now dirty ...I make a batch of hummus. This way I only clean the processor once. I find that ginger really does a lot for a lot of dishes and is really healthy for you.
Thank you for sharing! These are all really helpful tips!!
I am going to definitely try the cheese sauce!! I also love the mushroom, lentil walnut combo. I have tried some of your recipes and they never disappoint! Great video. Thanks for sharing! Happy New Year!
Awesome! So glad to hear it Lisa. All the best☺️
Very nice . You motivated me to keep going . I was about to quit this lifestyle , since no encouragement from my family . Lots of temptation 😢
I even got your bundle . It is amazing ❤if people just know the truth about healthy living !
It is sad to see others suffering from health problems and traditional medicine don’t even recognize ( it is all about right nutrition)
Thanks again ! You saved me from slipping 🙏
Hi Terese, I am so happy for you that you made the decision to keep going for your health!! Good for you 👏🏼 You've got this, and I am happy to help :)
Thanks again ! I just made a smoothie from your book . It tasted delicious. I found all your recipes are very simple but very tasty .
God bless all your hard work and dedication to guide people like me to the right way !
Just remember, veganism is not a diet, it’s a stance against animal cruelty and exploitation. It’s good to think of this when you feel tempted to consume animal products.
I like the mushrooms, lentils and walnuts recipes. Tried it once will do it again
Awesome!
My vegan family of 5 always have ripe bananas in the freezer to make nicecream anytime. Such great and healthy kids snack to treat
Yes! Such a great idea. My kids love it too💚
THAT was a great video. Really good hacks. Bookmarked and subscribed.
If I may add something. Yes, FASS. Fat, Acid, Salt and Sweet.
But there is more to taste: there is bitter, spicy and umamai. There is also the hot-cold contrast (put something cold on top of a hot meal). There is texture! (A good tofu tastes like nothing - but it has a mouthfeel to die for.)
Don't be mad. These are just additions to your fantastic video, after many years of being vegan. And these are universal truths that apply to meat eaters too! But since vegans still have so much more to experiment with: these are great starters.
There are many ways to add these flavours. Asian stores have lots of vegan sauces and pastes, which transport just that. Mushroom sauce, soy sauce, many fermented soy and chili sauce mixtures..
Yes! Absolutely great tips thank you for sharing☺️
Been vegan since 2012 & loved this 😊Happy New Year
Awesome! So glad to hear it☺️
Went WFPB in 2017 and these are great hacks! Will be trying that cheez sauce pronto! Love this video! Thank you!
Awesome! Thanks for watching☺️
Thank you for suggesting me to become a vegan chef to cook vegan meals for breakfast,lunch and dinner. You are helping me to learn about these ideas.
We have a few pear trees. I peel a fresh pear, add mustard, garlic, lemon juice, seasonings. Blend. If needed add water to thin out a bit or a tablespoon of cashews or silken tofu to make it more creamy. Delicious and healthy!
Nice!
Awesome ideas!!! Can’t wait to try these hacks! Thank you! 🧡🙌🏻
Thank you!!
I have a hack for the tomato paste hack... ha ha.... instead of an ice cube tray, just drop tablespoons of the paste on a piece of wax or parchment paper on a cookie tray and freeze. Then dump them into a baggie for storage. Same as the ice-cube tray hack, except you don't have a stained or messy cube tray to wash afterward! :)
Nice! Love it. Thank you!
Hi Michele, your hacks are fabulous - and simple. I downloaded your eBook and had a quick look. It is really well done with excellent recipes. I have eaten a plant based diet for about 10 years. I love finding new recipes and ideas. I look forward to receiving your recipes weekly. Your enthusiasm is wonderful, well done presentation!!! Thank you. :)
Hi Lynda! Thank you so much for your kind words and support. So glad you are here!
Your last name is very fitting. Not sure if it's the same in Polish, but in Czech 'svačina' basically means snack :D thanks for the cool tips!
Haha! Love it!
Love that video,Supernatural 🌸
Glad you enjoyed it
Great tips! Thanks. I’m not vegan but I’m leaning in that direction and have not been very successful yet. These hacks are easy and look delicious! Just subscribed and I’m going to order your cookbook. Thanks for all the resources!
Hi Amy! Good for you👍👍 thank you and I hope you the cookbook😀
Hi Amy, keep going, the first day I went vegan I ate a whole cheese pizza to myself, I didn't give up and now 12 years vegan with normal blood work.
@veganfromvenus I love that!!
Thank you very much!
Didn't know your channel up to this Video. Liked it so much that I not only follow, I also shared it with the vegan community on Mastodon. (I knew all this (but will try your cheese sauce) but it's perfect for beginners). Maybe next time add the benefit of having dried & already cooked chickpeas :)
Awesome! Thank you for your suggestion, sharing with your community and subscribing :)
I am always astounded how much Black Salt tastes like egg! Love all these ideas....thanks for all your hacks! Happy 2024 to you and your family!
Crazy right?? Thank you Kara!
Great tips Michele!! 💜 Happy new year!
Thank you Jess! You too💚
So glad to see the avocado sub for eggs. I’m having back surgery next month. I’m making a ton of freezer meals. I had wanted to make breakfast sandwiches but didn’t want to add the eggs. This will be a perfect sun!
Perfect. Hope you have a safe recovery!
super tips!!! Love them all
Thank you so much Brenda for watching.
Brilliant tips 👌🙏
Thank you!
I'd love to see your bday cake recipe!
Its not wfpb as it contains flour and raw sugar, but its definitely vegan! Maybe I can share it in a future video ;)

Hi! So glad you found it helpful:) thanks for being here☺️
You are amazing. Excited to have found you.
Aw, Thank you so much! Im so glad you are here :)
Haven't made Nice cream but not something I am usually in the mood for during the winter unless it was served with something hot. Fantastic vegan food hacks Michele and love 🥰 the video and love 💕 Michele & family.
Thank you David! Yes, agreed, if you are already cold it’s probably not something you want to have❄️
You can use aquafaba for egg replacement too
Yes! Great suggestion to share. Thank you!
3tablsp -1 egg
You are just lovely! And I've used many of these hacks. I don't have anything new to add, but I do like sprinkles- chia seeds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, goji berries, etc.
Hey Shonda! You are so sweet. Yes, those are great to sprinkle on everything. Great reminder ☺️
She is just a true sweetheart.
Thank you so much for such kind words☺️
@@veganmichele Just speaking the truth. I am certainly sure you are taken, but if you have a single twin sister, keep me in mind. Lol 😆
@marksoprano007 haha! Thank
You!
Loved the video! About the flax egg: can you also use the is method in recipes that require more than 1 egg?
Yes, absolutely. I have done recipes with up to 3 eggs and its worked great. If you need many more, you'd have to test it out as I haven't done anything more than three :)
These are great! Would love links to the recipes!
I don’t have the cheese sauce recipe anywhere yet, but you can find a ton of my free recipes here: www.veganmichele.com/blog1
Thank you!
Hi! I’m new to your UA-cam station.
Love those 10 hacks. The creamy sauce you made for the pasta,
Can it be used for salads as a dressing? Do you have videos on salad dressings.
Thanks❤
Hi! Thank you for being here☺️ yes you could totally do that. I do have a lot of salad dressing videos, just put “vegan Michele salad dressing” in the search and you should get them💚
Oh my God where were you all the time Thank you thank
Aw thank you! Glad you found me 💚
Happy new years gf ❤❤❤ haven't found great tofu here in Portugal.. can't even explain the texture 😮lol I rather eat actual eggs 😅 that's how bad it is ... but then again it's Europe. Always fresh eggs / everything!!
haha! I get it :) Happy New Year to you too!
New here! Thanks for the tips.
Where will I find your cake recipe? In an ebook or cookbook ? Website?
Hi! Thank you for watching ☺️ it’s not anywhere yet but plan on having it in an upcoming cookbook.
Could I use hemp seeds or sunflower seeds in the place of cashews for the cheese sauce? There’s a nut allergy in my household. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Yes, hemp or sunflower seeds would work☺️
I tried making cheese sauce with sunflower seeds and it worked out fine and enjoyed it.
Thanks for sharing David!
Love the tomato paste saver tip!! Definitely needed that one. Thanks a bunch🍅
You are so welcome!
Hello! I'm new to your channel and I'm excited to see more of your videos. I'm not vegan but I'm trying to do about 75% plant-based recipes. Can you please tell me which milk you use to make the buttermilk for it to curdle? And, is liquid smoke considered a healthy option? Thank you!
So glad you are here :) Any plant milk will work. I used soy milk in this video. Liquid smoke isn't something you want to include daily, but having it on occasion to help bring variety (you only need a few drops) I think is a great option.
Can I use a nutribullet for the nice cream?
Yes, I believe you can! Allow the bananas to defrost for about 3 minutes before blending since the motor is not quite as powerful :)
Awesome video thanks for sharing 💛 I love making nice cream, I have a regular blender so I slice the bananas and freeze them it works great 👍
✨🍾Happy New Year🍾✨
Good to know! Same to you as well💚
Really 3 bananas, cut in slices before frozen, Dutch cocoa fantastic with frozen banana , lemon juice to curdle milk as well, you mean black salt not Himalayan salt
i cannot handle bananas. Could the flavor be masked somehow for the nice cream?
You could do mangoes instead
Vegan
I have always been under the impression not to eat SMOKY items as the actual smoke is scraped off of pans and water is added. Smoked foods can cause cancer so very confused.
I absolutely hate mushrooms. Is there something I can substitute that doesn’t have that texture?
Hi Sheila! I get it, I hated mushrooms my whole life up until a few years ago. Try jackfruit instead :)
Thank you
👍❤️❤️
Thank you!
Great hacks. Just wish she wouldnt run through them so fast.
I cant stand banana nice cream it has a biter after taste .
Veganism, find a cure.
i made the banana thing with a little heavy cream.... excellent. i often have a half avocado, as a side with a 4 to 6 oz. grilled piece of beef, or a baked chicken leg. that avocado is also great for breakfast with a couple scrambled eggs. the salad is much better with cubed of browned pork or beef. then you do not need the fake smoke crap.
chick pea? really you cannot be serious. the goal of any meal is to NEVER eat a garbanzo bean.
in short any meal will be better tasting and more nutritious with MEAT! build muscle not virtue. you need muscle way more than virtue!
Meat??? Really
yeah - meat makes your recipes better. thanks!@@deborahingrim2168
🤡🤡🤡
Vegetarian animals have big muscles. What is your point other than to troll?
everyone knows... carnivores eat those.
Just more repeat recipes, nothing new, but Thanks
