• make your own stevia! i do, and its delicious and easy. you buy the stevia plant, which is just like any other herb. then you pick its leaves, dehydrate them, and grind them up in the coffee mill!

• Sorry for the late reply! i don't really have any exact measurements. For a big big bowl of sliced potatoes i'll use like a cup of vinegar and fill the rest with water and use a good 2 handfuls of salt.

• Hi! I've made several different kinds of potato chips, including sweet potato, and I've really found that the trick is to soak them in saltyyyy vinegar water for about a day or two. Then drain them and season them however you like (I like a combo of…

• I've used avocado as a base for my dressing in place of another fat and it works great! It's delicious and is a perfect substitute for oil. It's definitely perfect when you're craving a creamier kind of ranch/caesar dressing--except its green haha

• i was just going to say what osoniye was with the avocado. I dont know if its any less in calories, but it's an awesome and tasty alternative if you just blend it up with the other ingredients. It makes much more a creamy dressing.

• unfortunately the young thai's with the white exterior are usually not organic and have pesticides on the outside. They are still completely good to use, you just want to make sure the meat or water doesn't come in contact with the outside whatsoeve…

• there are so many possibilities with 1 haha (as i'm typing this i'm having some coconut milk with breakfast) It yields around a little over a cup of water and 3/4ish cup of meat, depending on the size of your coconut. You want to crack it open reall…

• I think I could just possibly live on coconuts I love them so much. My favorite thing to do with them is blend both the meat and water really well to make milk and I use that for my cereal of buckwheaties, goji's, figs, mullberries, and other dried …

• I have the saladacco too, and even though its not as fancy as the others, it was a good price and works really well. Whenever there's zucchini or beets in the house I'm always using it.

  in Spiralizer Comment by paige4
• about the nutritional yeast, i believe it really is cooked, however they do it. But like the name says, its very nutritious, and vegans and raw vegans definitely need those b vitamins, especially b12.

  in Honey? Comment by paige4
• I'm still not sure as to why that happens, but its completely natural. There are about 5 or 6 different brands of raw honey where I work and they eventually harden and become opaque, and so did the one i have at home. It's definitely normal and its …

  in Honey? Comment by paige4
• I personally use honey and love it. I think a lot of people won't use it or consider it vegan because of the way bees are harmed in the process of obtaining the honey. It easily can be compared to the hormones to induce more milk from a cow, or kill…

• It sounds great so far! I would most definitely add more of the nut meal and take away possibly 1 cup of grated carrots. Maybe try patting dry your carrots after grating too? Other things I can think of are adding some coconut butter for firmness or…
