I went whole food plant based over four years ago and lost 175lbs. I love all kinds of herbs and spices. I love Japanese miso ramen that is one of my favorites. I really enjoy your videos Ami. Best of luck to you in all you do. 🤤💗

Oh my gosh. That’s an incredible accomplishment. Congratulations.

[@valeriee3039]

That's amazing. Who was your guide? McDougall, Esselstyn? Did you cut out all fats like avocado and processed foods? Congratulations!

That’s very inspiring! 🎉 Congratulations!

Girl.. you're so real... I don't get to see that with fake spiritual vegans or rather soon to be non vegans .. Please don't change ... I love your personality.. I love your recipes ... I eat similar but a lot more nuts and seeds..

I've been making hummus with cauliflower for ages. You don't need to roast the cauliflower. It is fine steamed. If you add the cauliflower and some aquafaba in with your chickpeas and lemon juice and spices and whiz it up for a good 2 minutes it comes out super creamy. My hubby loves it and has no idea it has cauliflower in it. He always asks why my hummus tastes so much better than store bought.

[@AsMr-km6ex]

Hey I have never made hummus at home successfully, would you please share the exact measurements you use? I add half a bag of cauliflower rice to 1/2 cup oats for my microwave porridge, you can’t taste it and it adds nutrients and is more filling, always happy for more recipes like this☺️☺️xox

[@SandraGiffin]

@@AsMr-km6ex I make my own chickpeas in the instant pot but you can use canned. I use 2 cups chickpeas, 1 - 2 tbsp lemon juice, 100 g cauliflower, 1/4 cup aquafaba ( cooking liquid from chick peas or liquid from tin) 2 tsp ground cumin, 2 tsp liquid aminos (Braggs) , . It is the recipe for oil free hummus from Forks Over knives but I add cauliflower and substitute the aquafaba for the veggie broth. The aquafaba makes it really creamy. If you don't have liquid aminos you could sub tamari or soy sauce. The liquid aminos acts as the salty element in the recipe. You could also just use salt I suppose.

[@jeanettegiles6155]

Brilliant idea to add cauliflower to your hummus. I’m definitely going to try that. Thanks!

[@Castledark-27]

@@AsMr-km6exhalf a bag?? That sounds like heaps of cauli for only half cup of oats? Um could u tell me how big the bag is please so I get actual measurements for your micro porridge please? Cheers!

[@almaflores6636]

What's the ratio of the coliflower to the chick peas?

You are an inspiration! Older ? I’m almost 79 and still learning. I’ve been vegan, then vegetarian, then vegan again for 15 years but now I’m learning new tricks! Bought all your books.

Chocolate Pudding Ingredients: 2 ripe bananas 3/4 cup cooked millet 3/4cup silken tofu (or use black beans or soy milk) a couple of tbsp Cocoa powder (or use carob) water if necessary Place in Vitamix & use tamper (or use a food processor). Then add - some steamed cauliflower, miso & vanilla to taste & then blend again. Depending on your taste & ripeness of the bananas you may want to add some dates or maple syrup. Garnish the pudding with some frozen cherries.

[@sangitaraniga5632]

Is vitamix good.

[@alidapc]

@@sangitaraniga5632 I've had my Vitamix for more than a decade & love it. I use it at least once a day. They're made to last & are easy to clean.

[@christine1962ful]

Is that millet seeds?

Ok what is millet?

Loaded Pizza Fries Marinate then bake sliced MUSHROOMS (baby Bella, cremini, white button, or whatever). The Marinade: soy sauce, liquid smoke, garlic salt, onion powder, smoked paprika. Use a lined baking tray/sheet. If you can let it marinade for 5 minutes before baking it's even better) Roast BROCCOLI sprinkled with garlic salt on a lined baking sheet/tray. POTATOES: Slice raw or pre-steamed potatoes into the shape of fries. Sprinkle with garlic salt, smoked paprika & nooch. Air fry or bake until done. HUMMUS: In Blender or Food Processor: a can/tin of CHICKPEAS including the aquafaba, 1 tbsp tahini, roasted cauliflower, lemon juice, salt, ice cubes blend. TOMATO Sauce: a can/tin of tomatoes, garlic salt, dried basil & oregano. She heated it a little in her microwave. On a plate place the roasted broccoli, potato fries, tomato sauce, hummus (or if you prefer vegan cheese), mushrooms, seitan strips (optional-she received some as a gift), & a raw tomato.

[@carolynyoutube]

Sounds wonderful gonna give that a go! I make potatoes natchoes a similar way

[@jackiequintero24]

I love watching your content because you show the reality of motherhood and originality

[@Rowanne80]

I’ve seen some starch solution people saying that food should be bland to keep you from eating too much, but I find that makes me eat more. I need flavor to be satisfied

[@inksslinks319]

That totally makes sense.

[@leas_lifestyle]

Of course they say that. It's all about calorie restriction.

[@harpomorris1909]

Me too, food should be tasty and satisfying.

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

If your food processor has a shredder blade you can shred cooked potatoes and mix in cornstarch and seasoning with splash of water and make a pizza crust.

[@AsMr-km6ex]

This is the part I struggle with. I personally hate exercising.

Romi is growing so sweet. Nice helper

[@victoriajohnson3034]

Loving the low cal hummus ideas. I want a cup of it at a time, not a tablespoon.

[@mimibuckles]

Talk about maintenance! Yes, please! I’ve been WFPB for quite some time. I lost a total of 15 lbs and got actually too skinny at one point. But over the past 5 years I put on 8 lbs. So here I am looking for inspiration and companionship on my weight loss journey. Thank you! I love having your videos on while I’m working in the kitchen. And their chalk full of great ideas and inspiration. But mostly it’s just helpful to have someone who is trying to eat like I am for the same goals. You give me hope! I had to put a bunch of jeans and trousers in a bin in the basement last fall and I’m determined to get back into them!

[@Radiancegrace]

Romy looking over your shoulder into the camera is priceless ❤️YOU ROCK🙏🏻

Good job Brocoli Mum! The curtains in the complementary color, blue, not a pale but in the same intensity as this superb orange, or a purple, more sophisticated.

The cauli leaves are great to eat, so many recipes, pesto, stir-fries, anything really.

I really imitate and create heaps of your stuff and I would love to influence you as well - leafes of cauliflower together with carrot peel, broccoli stemp, potatoes I always make a very low density soup out of the "green NO-waste" - maybe an idea 💡 for you or someone out of the community ❤ great day to all ❤❤ ❤❤

[@dianaeritter76]

Thank you for talking abou fruit and calories. Yes, fruit is so amazing but lots of vegan (mostly raw) influencers say "eat as much as you want" and to lose weight, no that's not true. If I ate as many bananas as I wanted, I am sure I would gain weight. Thank you for all the tips!

[@layladarby1994]

not true, if you're a raw vegan, then banana will give you the calorie you need, if eating cooked food, it's probably the potato and pasta that will add the weight not the fruit.

I’ve never cooked millet. Did you just cook it in water? I’m assuming it needs to be unflavored if you’re adding it to a pudding.

29:00 - I heard a mom saying she told her kids that the soup was “sauce” and it made the kids eat it so fast. Just a tip 😂

[@skippy6462]

I've got a vegan junk food pusher in the family... it's wild... she has to tell us every shop, cafe, restaurant, pub, etc that has vegan options that's always junk and tells us multiple times just to make sure we have it. She knows we both eating healthy and are avoiding junk. It's so much that I'm understanding that it's toxic. Sad. Anyone else dealing with pushers? (Booze, junk, etc). We don't drink alcohol or so that pushing stopped a decade again.

[@JenniferBlankenship-e2y]

I was wondering if you hate mushroom what would be a good substitute?

[@Raddiebaddie]

Zucchini or eggplant or peppers/onions. Or skip it.

[@stellanicholas2335]
