Soymilk tip - I use West Life Organic Unsweetened Soymilk. No gums, no fillers. This is the complete ingredients list - water, organic soybeans. That's it. I'm able to buy it at my local Walmart.
I buy Malk almond milk. The ingredients are clean, too. Filtered water, organic almonds, pink salt. I’ll remember West Life. It’s hard sometimes to find clean ingredients.
This is what I use to make yogurt in my instant pot. Tofu yogurt is not the same-the flavor of the fermentation process can’t be replaced by lemon juice.
West Soy, Trader Joe's are both clean ingredients. Soy and water. That's it. And I've even found West Soy at the Dollar Tree.
Thanks! Great tip. Ill add it to my next Wal-Mart order😊
@@aureliaglenn2220 yep
TVP and Soy Curl Tip: After soaking and draining, squeeze out as much excess water as possible. Then season and cook as you desire. In my opinion, it creates a better finishing texture.
THANK YOU! Such a good tip!
I rehydrate my soy curls in veggie broth or beefless broth to add flavor. Works great.
Such a great idea! I'll need to do that!
I make yogurt out of 1 lb. walnuts, soaked and pureed, and one can of coconut mylk. It's thick and healthy.
Oh wow! I'll have to try this!
I love soy curls! I use tvp in chili, pasta suace and meatless loaves. Thanks for recommending these because I think more people should use them and they should be available more widely. P.S. I alway cook my own beans, make my own (pressure cooker) yogurt, bake my own bread and bake my own cakes/sweet treats.
I'm obsessed with TVP.
You are incredible!! I am so impressed!
Agreed. I make them with barbecue sauce and it’s so easy and delicious.
avoid highly processed soy such as texturized isolated soy protein. it's probably the least beneficial of the products and most likely to have side effects.
I soak my soy curls in warm water with a little Braggs Liquid Aminos added. After soft I drain, whiz in a blender and add some vegan mayo, chopped onion, relish and some chopped celery to make a fantastic chicken(less) salad!
That sounds so yummy!
Trader Joe’s has the best soy milk! I live about 25 minutes from one so I don’t go super often. When I go I call ahead and have them set aside a case of soy milk for me. I love that it’s shelf stable and only 2 ingredients and cheaper than most other soy milks!
Omg, I just bought one but didn't even look at the ingredients yet!
The price is right for Trader Joe's soymilk! (That it only contains soybeans and water makes it even better.)
I need to go to Trader Joes! Thank you!
Love these tips. 1 tip for you is your pan should be cooled first then soak. The nonstick coating doesn’t like to go from super hot to cold water. It ruins the coating.
Ah! Good to know! Thank you for sharing!
I love chickpea omelettes. I'm going to make a mix for that. Chickpea flour with nutritional yeast. garlic powder, etc.
Thats a great idea!!
Thank you. Same as you, I make my own chickpeas and beans, but I have to tell you that you changed my Life! The seaweed in the beans works like magic!
I'm new here. Can you explain the seaweed in the beans?
That's amazing!! I am so glad that it has helped!!!
Check out this other hack video to see the seaweed bean tip! ua-cam.com/video/GsjYvjRJI2U/v-deo.html@@VeryLikeLeigh
I use West Soy from Sprouts or Trader Joe’s brand. They are the shelf stable cartons not in the refrigerator department.
Thank you for the tip!
Compare quality, taste, nutritional value and ethics of Eden Soy Milk Vs suspect products of Traitor Joe's.
Eg both consumer reports and as you sow rated chocolates on their content of heavy metals and many of the worst ones are sold at trader Joe's and Traitor Joe's will flat out say they're safe otherwise they wouldn't sell them but they will not provide any information or studies. the worst rated chocolate deserve The proposition 65 warning of California. The processed food industry is doing all it can to make sure no other state uses this mild necessary California statute.
basically trader Joe's is making it easier to eliminate yourself slowly. Less than 10% of what they sell is worth buying probably.
Look into the state of Chile and Peru and wonder why so much of the produce comes from there or Mexico.
Any farmer's market or any market that focuses on produce that is organic will offer you an better localized seasonal value than the nearly flavorless minimally appealing socially globally unfair produce of TJs. I assure you that the country's supplying the US with this produce make it unaffordable locally over there for too many people. But TJs only cares if it sells it seems this way they are basically WalMart Costco. Notoriously stingy margins afforded to the producers or suppliers and pushing slave like labor to produce their packaged fresh ready to eat. Aldi Bros have a notorious reputation in Germany for wiping out local competition. Traitor Joes is rooted in their ethos.
They work their overeducated underpaid staff like ants or slaves. their clientele is similarly overeducated and undercompensated. no doubt about it the labrador retriever golden retriever labradoodle mentality of the staff is quite welcoming but it covers up the reality of massive invasive corporations like this. customers feel good about the company because of the nice people that they interface with and we see this at the worst monopolies in the world from Wells Fargo to telecom.
IMHO et al
Try the vegan carne asada recipe from Thee Burger Dude. You will start buying the 12-pound box of soy curls directly from Butler Foods.
Larabars are also really easy to make (if you have a food processor)! I used to make them in college because I was buying them so frequently.
I've been meaning to try that. Im addicted to Larabars and, reading the very short ingredient list, I've figured I could make them myself. Very glad to hear it's easy!
That is a great idea actually! I make similar energy balls all the time.
Your videos are so good. As someone new to plant-based eating …… you are so clear, simple intrusions, etc. I feel more confident after watching you. Why don’t you have more subscribers? I’ll do my best to help out.
Thank you! That means a lot!!
I couldn’t believe when you poured the aquafaba from cooking those garbanzo beans down the drain! There are so many things you could make from that stuff.. look it up! Bet you could make a cool episode from all the different things you could make.❤
Aquafaba meringues are so yum!
That is a great idea for a future video!
My homemade aquafaba doesn’t work for our homemade mayo like the canned stuff does. What am I doing wrong. ( I don’t use an Instant pot)
You may have to boil it by itself to evaporate some water and concentrate it. I use homemade aquafaba for mayonnaise, ice cream, meringues etc. I love it.
Great video! As a vegan family of 7 I very much appreciate your videos!! Ty❤
Vegan family of 7! We need to be friends! ❤️
All fabulous! Thanks!
You are full of simple useful ideas!!
So many wonderful ideas in a short video! I love it
Thank you!! Thank you for being here!
Order soy curls straight from Butler. Much cheaper and they always send a free sample of one of their other products. Also there is yeast specifically made for bread machines.
Thats a great idea to order straight from Butler!
That’s what I was gonna say. They sent me two extra things to try!
I was also gonna say you can order the soy curls without the seasoning - it doesn’t automatically come with it (from Amazon or Butler).
Awesome video. Thanks.
What a great video! Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful tips. 😊
Thank you for being here :)
Just found your channel and am binging your videos! I love your style and simple ideas.
Thank you!! I am so grateful you are here!
Thank you for the hacks. I've been plant based for awhile & always like to hear some hints & things to make my life easier. Garbanzo beans in the iPot are SO good. I did not realize they could be that good - haha & I'm making white beans in the iPot right now [I haven't been able to find canned in months.] Soy curls - LOVE them!!! I just found you & I'm so glad I did!😊
The best video!! Thank you. I'm looking forward to more ❤
Yay! I am so glad!!

Greetings from St George! Was that a U of Utah shirt I saw? Did my graduate work at the U! I’ve subscribed. Thank you so much! At 72 I’m trying to go Whole Foods, Plant Based. I figure that it’s never too late!
Plant based does not supply enough protien, we need more as we age.
Yes! I graduated with my bachelors from the U! (then moved to DC and went to GW for my Masters). Love that connection!
@@nancy9478 it does unless health issues.
Also there is a video about a 100 year old vegan and many others (so yea possible to live a good life)
Can supplement with protein powder otherwise (from safe source since many can be contaminated with heavy metals just like dark chocolates ).
Hubby and I went vegan at 55 and 57. We are now in our 13th year. Best thing we ever did for our health and peace of mind. You won’t be sorry you put in the effort. Enjoy the journey. So much fun!
This is super helpful. I was getting bored. this reminded me that there are yummy easy things you can do. Thank you.
I bought the miomat milk machine and make all sorts of plant milks. Pennies a serving and 0 additives and fillers, oils etc
Thanks for your effort 💚 from Denmark 🥰
Thanks for being here!
Thank you for your teap for dry plant protein like ground meat. I looked for it right away and I bought one with a beaf flavour and two other kinds. I didn't know it existed and I am making lots of traditional Polish dishes but vegan. Sooo many options to use it. I love it 💚
Your channel recently found me, I’ve been binging your vids! Love all the recipes and ideas you give!
Thank you
I am so glad we could connect!! Thank you for your kind comment! SO glad you are here!
SOOOOO FREAKIN GLAD I FOUND YOU‼️ Thank you for these great hacks!
I am so glad you found me too and am so grateful you are here!!
When I feel lazy, I add soy curls to a can of soup and just heat it up. Let it absorb the liquid from the soup and enjoy. Quick and easy.
I was really encouraged by the tvp and soy curls hack. I have some in my pantry but not quite sure how to use it. Also i love the hack of batch cake and having it ready on hand. I didnt realize candied walnuts were that easy! Literally 2 ingredients. Cant get easier. Thanks so much.
You are so welcome! Glad you are here!
Great video! Thanks! That pan deglaze liquid woulda been great in an apple walnut vinaigrette!
Ali another amazing video with great vegan food hacks and love 🥰 it. Love 💞 Ali.
You are the best! Thank you for always leaving such kind comments!
Wow Very INFORMATIVE! TY ❤❤❤❤❤
You are so welcome ❤️
Thank you for posting this. This is extremely helping for getting started. I especially appreciate appreciate the info on the textured protein and soy curls. I think those will be especially helpful getting the family to transition
Yes! They are great when you are in a pinch. Just make sure to add the flavor to them since they don't have any flavor.
We make fajitas with the soy curls. Soak in beef less broth (better than bouillon has a no beef and no chicken flavor) squeeze the liquid out, season and fry in the pan with the onions and peppers.
I make an extra stepp and pull out the largest pieces first prior to soaking. I keep smaller pieces for other dishes. I just think the bigger pieces look nicer. It's not a needed step, but it's worth it to me.
Great tips. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
I've learn sooooo much 😊
yay!
Freezer tip...mason jars with no curves are freezer safe. The ones with "hips" aren't recommended for freezing
Hello. Thank you for these wonderful hacks! Question: what is the calorie content for the mug cake? Thanks!
Really enjoyed this one. I use Miyoko's procedure/recipe for cashew oat yogurt in the Instant Pot. Easy.
I need to check it out!! Thanks for the tip!
Hi! I recently found your channel and I just love it!!! Could I confirm that the bread calls for 2 tablespoons of the yeast? Thanks so much! Keep up the great work...so appreciated!
Way way too much yeast. Try this (my go-to bread machine recipe): 1 1/2 cups lukewarm water, 2 cups whole wheat flour, 2 cups all purpose white flour, 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, 2 1/2 TEASPOONS instant dry yeast. Run on 2 lb white bread cycle. No oil, no sugar, way less yeast.
Great ideas. Traders Joes has no filler soy milk and it's at a good price too
I've been vegan for a long time and I learned a ton from this very useful video. Thanks! Can't wait to try the mug cake. I think my kids are going to be obsessed with them :D
Soy milk without gum/thickeners is the "standard" soy milk available at most Asian grocery stores.
Thats amazing. I need to buy some at my local Asian grocery store!
Or better still - buy the soybeans at the Asian supermarket and make your own soymilk. And then make the yogurt in the Instant pot using the cold start method.
Good idea
I order EdenSoy unsweetened soy milk directly from EdenSoy. It’s just soybeans and water. Two cases ship for free. You’ve inspired me to try making soy yogurt. Thank you!
Great tips! Soy Curls are great! I just made a delicious soy curl tikka masala and naan bread. yum!
Oh yummmm!
I'm single so I don't batch cook as often but all of these tips were Sensational and I was already planning on making beans I just received my first bag of TVP today! Lol thank you again for your amazing and informative videos🌞
I am so glad this is helpful to you!!
I have a hack that I do.... I make my own Old El Paso taco seasoning, with no oil ...... And I love your channel! Please keep your recipes coming!😁
Yay! That's awesome!
Thanks to you, I purchased TVP and Soy Curls! My husband was thrilled when we had BBQ chicken sandwiches. They were great!!!
That is awesome!
Some great ideas, but I can't do soy. I will check out some of your other hacks. Thanks so much.
I definitely want to do some TVP and soy curls!
I haven’t made my own yogurt yet, but I plan to because I got an Insta pot recently! I love and appreciate that you gave an even simpler option for yogurt though, because vegan yogurt can be so expensive! Also for soy milk without additives if you have a trader Joe’s near you- they sell organic pantry soy milk that is just water and organic soy beans and like $2 for a quart! That is the most affordable option I have found and I love that it is high in protein and shelf stable! I always stock up when I am at Trader Joe’s. 🤗
Awesome! I will stock up next time I go to Trader Joes! Thank you!!
West Soy and Eden Soy are great milks for making yogurt. Look in the shelf stable milk section. Also, Trader Joe's has their own brand of shelf stable soy milk. Great price, too.
Great hacks!!!Trader Joe’s has the boxed soy milk which is only soybeans and water
I love vegan hacks 🌱
Great video ❤
Yay I am so glad!
Candied nuts are good if you add cinnamon, too.
The Not Chikn stock cubes by Edward and sons are phenomenal!i use for oup..but theyd be greatnfor soaking the tvp and soycurls.their not beefnosnalso good as is their veggie stock cubes.
Love soy curls in buffalo sauce on a wrap 🤤
Buffalo sauce! I need to try that!
That sounds yummy.
Pretty nice tips... But if you're trying to keep away from so much soy.... I like to make batches of 'meat' as well.... but you can make a really good ground meat and burgers from lentils, nuts, mushrooms cauliflower.... Etc...make different combinations, season them and freeze. 💜
Outstanding!
My fav too! The others called "beverage" just have toooo much additives🙄
You can also make yogurt from canned coconut milk. Same method.
Cooking yourself a large sreak is so quick and easy. Give it a try.
It there a coconut you can recommend? The ones I have tried at grocery store don’t have much flavor. I am looking forward to trying this.
Really need a decent size freezer for this.
Make coconut milk 1cup shredded unsweetened coconut and 2 cups water in vitamix- strain
Brilliant!!
you can add sesame seeds to the walnut bars to bump them up a level.
Yes definitely!
I like the video, great energy so much good ideas but almost everything is with soy. Doesn't help if we are allergic to soy. Can we have the same result with other plant milk ? I will watch your other videos and hope you have also great advices for people who cannot have soy. Thank you.
Is soy good or bad? I thought people said it was an issue in past, was it debunked?
Ok new subscriber here, I’m on day 28 of the VEGANUARY CHALLENGE and I bought a bunch of “vegan” stuff, TVP was something I bought but didn’t know how to use.
Thanks for clarifying for me.
Yay! I am so glad it was helpful!
I've been using soy milk powder since the C19 lockdown. There was about three weeks when I couldn't get fresh plant milk. I happened to find a bad of dried soy milk powder in another isle. I followed the instructions and discovered the most delicious and inexpensive plant milk by volume. I just cannot go back, it's too good.
My bread ingredients: whole wheat flour, water, yeast. Add salt with shaker while eating. I eat large amounts of bread most days.
The tofu yogurt isn't really yogurt since it isn't fermented. Looks like a great dessert though.
Great tips! Thank you. I use Brittany Jaroudi's instant pot soy yogurt recipe. It is very easy. I get my unsweetened 2 ingredient (soybeans and water) soy milk from Canned Foods Warehouse when I can find it because it is cheaper. But Trader Joes has a 2 ingredient soy milk. Tip - the higher the protein of the soy milk, the thicker your yogurt.
Such great tips. Thank you!
I wish soy curls were less expensive. Years ago I found them on sale for $3 per bag and I have not been able to afford them since.
It is true, I wish they were as cheap as tofu!
I have been skeptical of soy and soy products for years. Do you have any suggestions for reading up on it or videos from someone knowledgeable that I can check out?
Just want to say that walnuts are well known to be a migraine trigger if anyone suffered from them regularly! Roasting them first can help or choose a different nut.
Good to know! Thanks for sharing!
How long will the Tofu yogurt stay fresh in the fridge?
Does the tofu yogurt keep in the fridge for a few days?
Running cold water on a hot pan is a great way to warp your pan. Don’t do that.
what are probiotic capsules?
Can you make that yogurt with other plant milks? And other flavors? I’m not a huge coconut fan.
Yes of course!!
Do you think you could use Apple sauce instead of oil in the bread?
Edensoy Unsweetened Soy Milk is what I use most of the time. Trader Joe's Unsweetened Soy Milk is ok, but it's not as creamy (or as high in protein).
Can you use agave instead of maple syrup? I cannot abide maple syrup-flavored everything. I also have date syrup which is amazing for vegan sweets.
yes. Regular sugar works too!
How can I find your mug cake recipe
I can't find purple sweet potatoes anywhere? The Asian market near me only has white skin, purple flesh. Any suggestions?
I snack on home cooked chickpeas all the time. Soak, boil with some salt and voila. I make them every week!
They are sooooo yummy!!
My husband has a soy intolerance.😢 Any recommendations?
Hey, every time I make the walnuts, which i LOVE they are super sticky any advice?
Use less syrup and cook for a little longer.
Looks great, but I am allergic to coconut, pineapple and tofu causes my joints to swell.....eating plant based can be tough for me, even though it is so healthy
I cannot eat beans that have been frozen. It really messes up the texture and flavor. I will freezer prep soups and chili without the beans and then add the beans in the instant pot.
Soy curl texture is so much better when air-fried. Squeeze the water out of them, flavor with soy sauce, molasses, and smoke paprika and air fry until desired doneness. Perfect Soy Curl Bacon.
