(Part 2) Top products from r/vegan1200isplenty

Everybody talks up vega but honestly the texture was atrocious and it overwhelmed the taste of anything I put it in. Mealy and overpriced :(

As long as you're not looking to try it on its own, I'd honestly recommend this stuff. The texture disappears very well in smoothies and oatmeal, and though the flavor is...not great, it's super easy to cover up because it isn't strong. Also? Very very very cheap, because it's not marketed specifically at vegans.

No problem! Check out estate sales for a good deal if you don't want to pay full price. I have had a large processor for a long time and I don't remember the original cost, but I have been searching for a small one for awhile and finally just bought one new at Costco and it was $25. Honestly, i can't see myself ever not having at least 1. I love my big one, but when I make pesto for myself it's just too big. But a smaller one, you will find a lot of uses for. And you can always just use a small one and make multiple batches at once.

This is probably fine for what you would need. And then later on down the line if you find you love it, you could save up for a bigger one. I'm guessing if it has 1 button you probably have to stand there and hold the button down to use it (mine have 2 buttons, one to turn on and one to turn off/pulse, but they work so fast that sometimes I do have to stand there so certain things don't overly process).

Yeah! This one uses a pre-made sauce: I sometimes make it with a home made lower cal one too, and add more tofu. It depends! This one was the below

One 12" spring roll wrap (I get these at an international market https://www.amazon.com/Spring-Roll-Wrapper-Rice-Paper/dp/B0000CNU2X)

one cup shredded nappa cabbage, or other cabbage
170g shredded carrot
45g extra firm tofu
a few leaves chopped mint
1/4 medium avocado, sliced
1.5 tbs Thai almond sauce (i added some red pepper flakes too) (https://thrivemarket.com/p/yais-thai-almond-sauce?utm_medium=pla_smart&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Shopping_Engagement_Smart_Members&utm_content=864305000154&utm_term=na&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy97qBRDoARIsAITONTItSd-D08RmafN1p706CDkC6HTOQKx_qVppOjcqUgtIDyuRdVjbakgaAkdAEALw_wcB)

Toss all veggies other than the avocado, and the tofu together with the sauce. Wet the rice paper in luke warm water. Lay it on a clean surface, quickly put the avocado slices in a little fence like square, and put the rest of the filling inside. roll like a burrito, and there you go!

It's really easy to customize--bell peppers and cucumber slices are nice it it too. It usually depends on what I have on hand.

I make 'frittatas' for my husband.

• 1 cup chickpea flour
  
• 1 cup PAN corn flour - this is NOT masa harina! (or more chickpea flour)
  
• 1 tbsp VEGG (optional)
  
• 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
  
• indian black salt to taste (optional, it just gives and eggy flavour)
  
• 1 tsp baking powder
  
• 2.5 cups water
  
• Salt
  
• Pepper
  
• other herbs spices like paprika or oregano are nice too
  
  Mix the above until smooth
  
  
• ½ onion - finely chopped and sauted
  
• 1 bell pepper - finely chopped and sauted
  
• ½ package frozen spinach - thaw and squeeze out excess liquid
  
• ¼ cup sundried tomatoes
  
  (you can use different veggies if you want, these are just my preference)
  
  Mix veggies and egg mixture and spoon into lined muffin tins
  Bake at 400˚F for 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean
  
  IIRC these come out to about 50 cal per muffin, so you can have a few. They also freeze well, so you can make a bunch all at once.
  
  Heads up - the chickpea flour will smell real gross before it's cooked - don't worry, that's normal! It will smell much better after it's cooked.
  

Sure thing! The pitas freeze really well so if you like them you can order them in bulk and save on shipping. Sometimes I get them from the Joseph's website ($2.99/pack), but I used to get them from Amazon ($6.99/pack). Walmart has them too. You might also check out the Joseph's Lavash bread. That has equally good macros.

yes. i have a couple. my favorite is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01698J0RU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_W4zUCbCPDR5D5
because it is easy to use

I know I'm super late but I found them on Amazon. Hopefully this link works.

We don't have a Veggie Grill anywhere near where I live so I'm trying to copy some of the dishes. This was easy. Just pickle some onions and pan fry some fake chickn tenders (I used Gardein) and coat with 2 Tbsp of Korean BBQ sauce (20 Cal/Tbsp) and add a little sesame seeds and whatever else you like.

This is my favorite sauce

my pickling recipe is just rice wine vinegar with sweetener and salt. Let the onions or other veggies soak for about 1/2 a day. Tasty!

I take a pill. Very easy!

A kinda pricey, but totally fun option would be to pick up a fancy bento box which can keep hot and cold items hot and cold for hours and hours even when packed together! Go full on Asian with rice, kimchi, veggies, and a miso soup!

I really liked adding protein with fiber into my diet for those days when I wasn't able to eat as many vegetables as I would have liked to. Manitoba Organic Hemp Pro Fiber

Enjoy ;^)

This is the one I started with: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QFY7X6T/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_RKjuDbQ6HX5CW

And then I got its bigger brother: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GNSHPBQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bMjuDbPZKSS99

Both have been great so far, and yes I've done tofu in both. The advantage of the big one is it can hold more, obviously, but also requires less shaking since the tofu can spread out more, creating more exposed surface area.

If it's burning because it's sticking to the pan you might try a different kind of pan. I use

It's been really worth the cost, considering how little oil is required to cook with it.

Five servings of [this] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0021FEMZG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1509797138&sr=8-3&keywords=plant+fusion+vanilla+bean) for only 600 calories and give you 105 grams protein.

    NOTES

• the pictured container is a gallon rubbermaid container. this salad is fucking massive.
  
• I covered mine in 300g of Pepita Salsa, but it wasn't great. My go-to salad dressing is balasmic vinegar + bbq sauce.
