  • WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR PROTEIN!!? If we had a subscriber for every time we got asked that. This falafel bowl pretty much covers any protein needs you need in life. It's jam packed with it and it also looks and tastes great. It's completely customisable so don't worry if you don't have all the ingredients. The sauce really adds some next level flavours and ties everything together!!!
    All the best,
    Dave & Steve.

    When my kids were younger I would chop the veggies up really small and use like colored veggies to whatever you are putting it in. Another way to make it fun is color themed days like eating all red things on Monday, All purple/blue on Tuesday. It makes them more adventurous 🤗

    My wife hates mushrooms, She hates the texture, the taste everything. About 5 months ago I asked her if its alright sneaking them in to certain meals, she said she was fine as long as she couldn't taste it or that they had too much texture.
    SO!
    I started incorporating them in pasta sauces. Dicing them up super tiny 2mmx2mm pieces then cooking them with same similar sized zucchini, then adding TVP into the mix about 20 mins after cooking them down.
    This last meal prep rotation I made a variant of the boys' cottage pie but with bigger chunks of mushroom 1cm roughly chunked pieces. not only is it one of her favorite meals this rotation, but she hasn't mentioned the mushrooms...
    My only big tip is, Don't ever try to blend mushrooms canned or fresh in a food processor... you end up with this horrible paste that not only tastes horrendous but also has this gelatinous mouth feel when it's done...

    When my children were young I would add onions, carrots, celery, corgettes, mushrooms to my spaghetti sauce and blend it. Even guests at our house loved the full bodied flavor and my kids were eating veggies without knowing it!

    Speaking of IBS and pulses, I've got Crohn's (apparently since I was about 8 or even younger), and I've been vegan for about a decade and counting. Thankfully I'm on a really good immunosuppressant medication for it now that's working for me, but going vegan in general helped me personally, at least partially control the symptoms. However, I've definitely got some 'trigger' foods that I either have to avoid, or at least eat sparingly. The nori (seaweed) from sushi is one of them, and if I overload on lentils, beans, chickpeas, etc., I can end up with some awful, painful bloating...
    I found that if you go to your local pharmacy, there's usually a couple different medications for it that may help - one of them is a surfactant, but I've had better luck with the ones based around enzymes ('Beano', I think, here in Canada at least). You take a couple of them at the beginning of your meal, so that it mixes in with your food, and it means you end up with a lot less bloating, which was great for me with wanting to make vegan chilis or falafel or dal and such.
    Crohn's, IBS, and Ulcerative Colitis are unfortunately on the rise here, quite quickly, and I wonder how much of it could be attributed to some of the processed foods we grew up on. I'm not sure, though it'd be an interesting 'I told you so' if the evidence does eventually point that way.
    Thankfully, though my dad's Celiac, I've been tested a number of times for it, on a regular basis, and come back negative so far (though my aunt has Crohn's, too, so who knows - genetic?). They have a really simple blood test for Celiac now, that at least will give them probable cause to investigate further if it comes back positive for antibodies, provided you've eaten something with gluten in a couple days before the test. If anyone's worried about it, ask for a TTG test *before* you go to the effort of trialing a gluten-free diet, and you might get an easy answer. :)
    Between growing up with my dad's Celiac and my own Crohn's + veganism, I've definitely become a lot more aware of what I'm eating, carefully reading contents and looking up ingredients. Even without that, it's always a good skill to have.
    Thanks for your videos (and your books - I have one! :) ) showing how easy it is to eat healthier, and yet still tasty too!

    Nice! I live in London and buy frozen edamame from the local Vietnamese supermarket (and kimchi). The lazy me loves the merchant gourmet pre cooked mixed quinoa from time to time (I can feel my Latin American family turning in their graves). Their Puy lentils are quite nice too. Sometimes Morrisons has them on offer for £1.50 a pack and they last about 3 days in the fridge once you've opened them, so they're easy to bung in salads and stuff or make something more elaborate if I feel like it :)

    My mum would overcook EVERY vegetable, so I was never a champion of mushrooms, beets, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. With my kid, I noticed he'd eat them if I pan seared them or baked them just until brown. At that, I now eat all the veg originally left untouched when made by mum. *bless her*

    We would sit down to eat. He would look at the plate and say 'I don't like that', I'd say 'okay' and stuff my face. Finally his curiosity would win out, he'd pick up the spoon and love it. (It being whatever I cooked.) Other times he just didn't want what I fixed so he had to fix his own dinner. PB&J.

    The trick to get kids to eat anything.
    My kids and I were never vegan as they were younger but they all ate veges from the start and had small protien after eating their veg. I have 3 kids. 2 wouldn't eat mushrooms and one and me would.
    I didn't push it. They ate so many other things that it never worried me.
    And here's the trick... kids taste buds change. 1 never ate mushrooms but the other non eater ended up eating them too.
    Trick is... there is no trick. Life's too short to try and make kids eat something they don't eat. Give them the power to decide.

    I don't use hot pepper and when I do use it it's very sparing because I have a geographic tongue. But I make up a mad tahini dressing for anything that you want a creamy dressing on or in. I used the tahini and the cashews I also use at least two garlic cloves I add some salt I am not a no salt vegan and I am not a no oil vegan. I add the water and the juice of lemons simply because I have lemons more often and Tahini will get very very sick on you if you don't add some warm water to it. Add an acid and watch it just become a ball that looks like pastry! Sometimes I eliminate the citrus upon where I am using it. Tahini sauce or dressing without garlic is like a vegan Without a Cause. ;-)

    I really don't get this focus on proteine. If anyone ever asks me how I get my proteine, I usually ask them back:"Get me the name of the doctor who ever encountered a person with a proteine deficiency and I'll tell you how I get my proteins". It's just a spoof from the dairy industry, humans don't need nearly as much protein as most 'experts' claim...

    • @Apocalypz
      @Apocalypz 6 років тому +6

      Solid concern. For people who include a bit of exercise into their regimen, a good amount of protein helps to further build the muscle which was broken down. My GP suggested I keep my protein higher when I was exercising, and I noticed less weakness in my muscles after a month or two. Everyone's body could react differently though.

    • @mikekuppen6256
      @mikekuppen6256 6 років тому +6

      Many elderly people are protein deficient. Among other things it makes them more susceptible to decubitus, which is both nasty and very common. For me protein helps keep me full for longer so I don´t start to crave either junkfood or meat.

    • @Apocalypz
      @Apocalypz 6 років тому +1

      Solid point, Mike. BBC completed a study a few years back showing protein provided the greatest trigger to "feel full" over fats and carbohydrates. For people who are inclined to eat all day long -- myself included -- protein helps me to reduce unwanted snacking.

    • @MSchipper
      @MSchipper 6 років тому +3

      So far, protein deficiency is common in certain inherited diseases or in case of severe malnutrition, common in third-world countries. With elderly people, protein deficiency is plausible since they eat less, with less variety. Other than that, protein deficiency is almost impossible, even for vegans. Too much protein stresses the kidneys and heart, and with current guidelines for protein intake, that's a much bigger risk than protein deficiency.

    • @mikekuppen6256
      @mikekuppen6256 6 років тому

      Healthy kidneys have no problems at all with excreting surplus protein, thankfully, and so the heart remains unburdened.

Also all beans and legumes are not created equal so someone who has IBS should be able to find some sort of Bean or legume that they can eat and I can advise baking them at home in the crock pot because they will not Kerry flatulence with them no stomach cramps my mother loved baked beans but never ate them because they gave her a cramps and should run to the bathroom and all of that but when you bake a bean in the Crock-Pot it Cooks long enough to cook that Sugar glycol out of it that causes intestinal discomfort.

    Thank you for your videos, you are my favorite channel, but...I stopped cooking quinoa (I use Millet instead) because the success of this grain is causing a lot of suffering to the people who, throughout the world used to have it as a main dish and now cannot afford it and are dying of hunger. The same goes for avocado. Please, try eating local food and avoid disturbing the food trading market, making the fortune of happy fews and the misery of the majority of people living in the country where the food comes from. We are vegan, meaning that we decided not to eat certain for ethical reasons and not simply because we want to or like it. So considering aout the impact of our eating habits on our fellow humans, should be of outmost importance to us. Don't you think? That said with kindest regards

    I can't stand mushrooms, I don't like the texture. When I was small my mum decided to prove that I liked mushrooms, she made a soup and puree the mushrooms soup, hiding them up, my favourite part was when she was proved wrong, I ate the soup and it came up decorating the floor..... she stopped trying to give me mushrooms.... :))))
