I use to drink coffee for the taste but was ok with the caffeine. Oh but theeennnn theeeennnn I had 2 under 2 with no help during the day or night. I literally ran off coffee. Very unhealthy and don't recommend it..they are 3 and 4 now so water under the bridge.

Hi Maddie. Thanks so much for the video. As always, it's great. I wanted to share what I do with Mung Beans as replacement for JusEggs. I soak 1 1/2 cups of beans overnight (with just enough water to cover them.) The next morning, I put them in the Vitamix add 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder. Once blended, I add a jar of Trader Joe's Cowboy Caviar. Then in a pie plate (covered with Parchment paper on the bottom) I add a chopped onion and any other veggies I want to use up, sprinkle with Trader Joe's Chili Lime or Citrusy Garlic, then pour the Mung Bean mixture over the veggies and bake for about 40 - 45 minutes at 350-375. This is great. It turns out to be about 4 large breakfasts (which you can just reheat). It's sort of like a souffle but not. I've also done it with just blueberries and vanilla for a sweet take on breakfast. This is great so you don't have to cook the mixture on the stove top. Hope you try it, it's great!

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hey Connie! Thanks so much for this recipe!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Sounds easy and delicious I’m going to have to give it a try! 😃 Sounds exactly like what I’m looking for.

When I was pregnant my Dr told me I needed more iron & she said dried apricots were a good source so also bought them at Costco. Nice grocery haul.

I'm always so envious when I see the selection at Canadian Costco! My Virginia (US) Costco is far behind.

Oh no! We do have a pretty good options here, but I always think we have room for improvement too. 😅 A lot of other Costcos in our area seem to have more vegan selections!

[@kathydempsey7110]

You comments about the cost of tofu are interesting. I had noticed them going up some time ago; coincidentially, Aldi here in the U.S has the best priced tofu I can find ($1.59 for 14 ounces) and it is on sale this week for $1.29. I am planning to get 4 to 6 blocks (feeding only myself).

[@jaminwaite3867]

Mine have gone up just $.20 or so for the twin pack of extra firm at kroger

[@LetsEatPlants]

Wow that’s a great price! 🤩 Yea we are lucky we have some Asian markets near us where I noticed the price is still decent… but all the larger grocery chains are no carrying it for $4-5 CAD per pack and I’m like 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫. Especially organic which is almost always more expensive!

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@mayammink Oh that’s interesting I hadn’t heard that! Thanks for the heads up.

Trader Joe’s carries high protein tofu - 14g protein/serving (5 servings/container) - think it was $2.49 a week or so ago. No need to press.

[@lindalatham412]

Yes, you can definitely make the mung beans in on a baking sheet. I have used both a silicone mat and parchment paper. I chop up a bunch of veggies and top the mung bean mixture with them. Great for meal prepping!

[@LetsEatPlants]

Awesome thanks! That's exactly what I was thinking and to add some veggies too. Yummm 🤩

You are lucky to have organic wild blueberries and flax seeds. My costco here in NY doesn’t sell those. thanks for the video.

Can't wait to check some of these items next time I am in Costco. I bought that soy milk last time and I definitely want to buy more. I wish it had a shorter ingredient list, but it's convenient to have on hand instead of the refrigerated soy milk. And those chocolate figs look delicious! 🤤

[@LetsEatPlants]

Totally agree with the soy milk! Not the best ingredient list but inexpensive for organic and definitely convenient. 😅 The chocolate figs turned out to be a good purchase. 😃

[@munajedski]

If you have a Trader Joe's near you check out their soy milk. The ingredients is organic soy beans and water. The price is very good compared to others. I really need to invest in a nut milk maker. :)

I find it interesting that your hubby doesn't care for coconut, but likes the coconut water! When you figure out a way of baking the mung bean "egg", please post it! I have a large bag that I've only dipped into three times because I just can't get it right and hate to waste food. I'm also checking out your chickpea recipes though I've probably seen them before.

Thank you for sharing, and for being vegan. I like the sprouted oatmeal, organic sauerkraut, flax, organic vegetables, and some other items. Dry beans are a lot less costly than buying beans in cans.

It is three years old and they finally offered us buy a new one at half price or take a check for $one thousand we took the check as there are only 2 of us and if we have a party we can always buy ice.

Hey Maddie. I need to step up my instant pot bean cooking and there are so many cooking times out there. As I totally trust you, do you have a cooking table for your beans in the instant pot ? Thank you so much ! Dominique from Ottawa, Canada.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Hahaha yes it's so true! I actually just started out with the Instant Pot's timetable and kind of adjusted based on how I like my beans. So definitely start here! instantpot.com/instantpot-cooking-time/#tab-id-3 I find that older beans need longer to cook, maybe 5-10 minutes extra. I also cook beans longer if I plan to blend them, for example chickpeas that I'm using for hummus I cook for an hour now, whereas I used to only do them for 45! If I know beans will go into another dish and cook longer (like a soup), then I stick to the IP timetable, as I find those times to be the minimum needed to cook. 😄 So it's a bit of adjusting based on preferences. Hope this helps, and hey neighbor!! 🤗

[@donnaandre7633]

I tried freezing tofu and personally prefer the texture when I don’t freeze it. 😊

[@LetsEatPlants]

Interesting! You're the first I've heard say that! But it's good you've given it a try and know your preference. 😋

[@JazzedatHome]

Hey, Maddie! Re: the egg batch stuff, I think the mung bean mix could make really nice "egg" cups, filled with veggies and whatever else. I still need to get a silicone mold for that, but I was also thinking of how the "eggs" could be made more efficiently, and that's one idea that I came up with. Also, maybe they could work for a vegan "quiche"? I'm sure there are ways to work with them that don't involve slaving over a stove. I'll definitely be curious to see what you come up with. Also, mung beans are really expensive, here! They're about $16 for two pounds at the local stores. Fortunately, I live right near and Indian grocer who carries them for less, so I'm putting that on my shopping list for next month, along with some Kala Namak, which he also carries. I really enjoyed this video from Cheap Lazy Vegan (about recreating Just Egg) and I wonder if you might, too? kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKSxaJJ_qLlqhK8 Blessings! - Claire

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yes! I think I tried them as egg cups and I wasn't as impressed as having them flat, but I do need to try again (and need to tweak my recipe!). I do think they could be incorporated into a quiche as well. 😃 Holy moley that is expensive! Definitely a good thing you found them for cheaper (and the black salt too!). I'll check out Cheap Lazy Vegan's video for it, she's great. Thanks Claire!

[@JazzedatHome]

Ah! So you have tried to make egg cups with it. Did you add a little baking powder to the mix? Cheap Lazy Vegan does and I wonder if that would make a positive difference? Yeah, I think the food producers have gotten hip to the whole plant-based thing being really popular and they've jacked up the prices, unfortunately. Thanks! Yeah, I had to do some calling around, but when I realized that they had an Indian name associated with them, I followed a hunch and it paid off. He sells non-organic split mung beans at $10 for 4 pounds, if I remember correctly. It's still not cheap, but it's definitely better. You're welcome! @@LetsEatPlants

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@JazzedatHome I didn’t try baking powder yet! Yes that could be a game changer. Good reminder! 😃

[@JazzedatHome]

Yeah, I think it could be a game changer, too, because eggs are supposed to be fluffy, right? Thanks 😊@@LetsEatPlants

[@IsidoraSage]

I'm looking forward to your baked "eggs" recipe. Maybe you can do some sort of crustless quiche

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yes that would be a good option to play around with! I’m going to try some plain ones first to replicate more of the JustEgg style and then will advance from there. 😃

[@julielauwers5630]

Omg, your Costco has so many things ours doesn't have! I seriously don't think my Costco has like half of this stuff. It would be awesome if it did. By the way, not being judgy but you might just want to look into the reasoning for drinking organic coffee. It was an eye opener to my husband and me. I don't drink it but he does so we started getting organic.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Yea it can vary a lot depending on where you are located! I think Costco is pretty receptive to suggestions though, so if you have anything you want them to stock, it never hurts to ask. 😊 I've been drinking organic decaf throughout my pregnancy, but the cost is pretty insane!! I'll do a bit of research into organic vs. non-organic though as I haven't researched it much yet. Thanks for the heads up!

Last time I checked the Kirkland brand of soy milk it had sugar and carrageenan. That’s a hard no for me. Only buy the unsweetened organic Westsoy brand.

Unfortunately the Westsoy brand is really hard to find here! Wish it was more readily available as I do like that one. The Kirkland here does have a small amount of added sugar but doesn’t have carrageenan. 😊

[@loeserlegal]

@@LetsEatPlants I googled the ingredients and the box shows it does have carrageenan . Maybe they changed it - hopefully for your sake they did . I buy Westsoy in a pack of 6 from Amazon. $24.99.

I was wondering if you feel the cost of a Costco membership is really offset by the savings on the items you buy throughout the year. I had a membership years ago and in order to get there I had to pay a toll both ways and when I added that to the membership, I just found it wasn't saving me anything. It was around the time grocery stores started to have more bulk items so I gave up the membership. The other thing is the quality of the organic produce. I watched a video last week about buying a ton of organic at Walmart and was thinking of giving that a try. But later in the week I saw a recall of some organic produce for Walmart and remembered that you see this a lot for Walmart, Aldi, Trader Joes... So I'm wondering if sticking to Whole Foods and Wegmans (New York & New Jersey based) is just better in the long run. Just curious on your thoughts. Love your channel.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Absolutely because I’ve done the price comparisons with our local No Frills and Asian markets, and we definitely save more than the cost of the membership. But… you do have to be careful with what you buy there! I used to get sucked in to buying the produce at Costco bc of convenience… I’m already there, it didn’t seem that much more expensive… but 9 times out of 10 it is wayyyy more expensive! 😣 I pride myself on price comparisons and even if I have to go to 3 stores it’s worth it (luckily all the stores are pretty close together for us). When comparing, I check cost per 100g and Costco always beats the others with things like soy milk, nuts, peanut butter, veggie broth, pasta, etc… a lot of the ones shown in this vid. But like the frozen fruit I didn’t buy for a while at Costco bc the price per 100g had been cheaper at no frills! (We do occasionally do Walmart as well for groceries! They have some great deals too.) When I’m back visiting family in Cali, I always go to Trader Joe’s or farmer’s markets. I’ve never been to a wegmans but I’ve heard good things! 😃 I’ve heard you can also get a friend to get Costco gift cards and that way you don’t need a membership! Just another option! If checking to see if Costco is still worth it for you, you could try that and jot down some of their prices to compare to what you usually pay. 🤗

[@stefaniathomas1252]

I'm curious how much sugar is in the Costco soy milk? I stopped buying it from the Costco here because it was too sugary, but I'm also in the USA where everything tends to have even more sugar added to it.

The soy milk has carrageenan in it! That is a no no, especially if you are pregnant. I have been buying organic Silk unsweetened. You can get a better buy if you buy in bulk at your grocery store. Just put in a special order.

[@LetsEatPlants]

Actually ours doesn’t! Maybe you are checking the US version?

Here’s the one we buy: www.costco.ca/kirkland-signature-organic-soy-beverage%2c-946-ml%2c-6-count.product.100417879.html

That is the US one! That is so unfair you get the good stuff and we can’t!! lol! Thanks for letting me know!

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@kasathome1 I'm wondering if Canada maybe banned it?? I checked another couple brands we like to buy occasionally and they don't have it listed as an ingredient either.

That bullion is way too salty for me and not organic

[@LetsEatPlants]

We buy the organic one! And you can make it less salty by adding more water. 😊

I like to use (after grinding) the Kirkland Salt-Free seasoning to make quick veggie broth.

[@LetsEatPlants]

@@aureliaglenn2220 Great idea!

[@Anyoneouthere1]

Better than Bouillon... GMO product 😑

[@LetsEatPlants]

Even the organic one?
