I don't care what non vegans say, but going vegan has made me less sick. No lethargy, no migraines, no frequent colds or fever and no digestive issues. Woo
Priyanka Nayak awesome!!!
Bet your cholesterol is also great too!
Im not vegan but cutting down on meat has done that for me too. Back when I first cut down on it i was only eating a tiny portion once every few days and I felt the best I had in my life. Probs because I was excersising and eating a fuck ton of healthy foods
and what did you eat before going vegan? McDonalds? Standard American Diet?
The non-vegans say you'll feel good in the first year or two of being vegan, especially if you were eating crappy food before the switch, but it starts going downhill after a year or two. 84% of people who attempt switching to a vegan diet are unable to last more than 5 years as a vegan. This is not the hallmark of a diet that makes people feel good. This is the hallmark of a diet that leads to health problems which are so severe, people are willing to go back to eating what they consider to be "holocaust products".
@@lulzmoney99 just eat healthier dude, its just how you eat. You can eat meat and be healthy, you can be vegan and eat healthy. Or vice versa, but eating healthier can really do that if the reason your feeling unhealthy is eating unhealthily
REMEMBER the spices. Rosemary, ginger, garlic, turmeric etc. It is such an easy and efficient way to up our intake of antioxidants and phytonutrients. It is also good for taste, especially when we don't cook with salt.
mic i love u and im already a vegan but i wish you'd seasoned those potatoes and veggies my man
🤣😂🤣 I'm on that part right now 🤦🏾♂️
I was just about to comment that. I'm sitting here thinking about how people already say white people don't season their food and how this guy is proving that.
Literally though. Like sometimes even if it’s lazy, your not gonna convince anyone to go vegan on plain potatoes and veggies with ketchup 😅
@@cartergirl3of3 I agree. It's kind of disappointing especially given the context of the video.
Tomorrow is gonna be my first vegan day! I'm vegetarian for two years and I don't eat dayries for four months. I spent the last eggs today, so from tomorrow on, no more animal products! I'm from Spain, I discovered your channel due to a task of my english course. Then I began to see your videos and it helped, thank you!
Good for you 👍
Hope you're sticking to it!!
How is it going?
Very awesome! Congratz on taking the final step toward no longer being the reason animals suffer
been vegan for 6 months and this still helped, thanks mic
Turqoise amazing thanks for askin
Still vegan?
@@jaredbowen3527 yes more then ever
I’ve just gone vegan recent and it’s the best decision ever
David Erlstoke 😂
Yeeesssss! Thank you so much. I am probably the biggest vegan wannabe but I think I am finally going to push myself and go completely vegan in January. What I mean by "vegan wannabe" is- I read, watch and tell all the friends about veganism and the benefits but I don't practice what I preach. I think it's about time to 'put my money where my mouth is'.
Susan ...and follow your ♥. Best of luck! 💚☮️💚
Sounds me, honestly
Wow that is awesome 👏 😎
same
That was me too for years. Finally went all in in August and within 3 weeks cholesterol dropped from 276 to 148 and the weight continues to melt off. I feel fantastic and love the food, and the best part is finally living up to my values. I love animals, so why was I eating them for nearly 60 years? Good luck, Susan!
I did it - I've Gone Vegan! I started my 3 week trail run today. I do plan to stick with it though as I need it for good health. Thanks in part to Mic and all his great info!
The ketchup on veggies burns my eyes
Yes, it dosen't look very appealing to me, I would instead use a miso glaze or sweet and sour sauce would go with the stir fry veggies better
What's wrong with ketchup? It's just tomatoes, shugar, vinegar, spice and some salt. Everything is okay if you will not eat it tons of ketchup. And you can always do it yourself if ketchup in shop doesn't meet your needs.
@@dmytrandr It's just unorthodox on certain foods.
@@dmytrandr whats wrong with tons of ketchup? It just contains shugar tomato and vineggar and spice
This comment made me laugh
I want to become vegan so bad but I work long hours and have so little time to cook please send me some positive vibes to be able to change my eating habits. Thanks for the video.
check out Cheap Lazy Vegan. Her videos should help you
Personally I find new recipes intimidating when I’m pressed for time, so I like to add in some new things on the weekends/when I have more time. Then I’ll know the recipes that I like and will have a much easier time eating them. My favorite thing to make when I’m pressed for time is a quick southwestern bowl. I make rice ahead of time, but you could also do some in the microwave while you’re cooking the rest. I cook some tofu (just because I like it, not necessary), peppers and onions (I get the frozen bags usually), black beans, corn, and salsa until everything is a good temperature. If I’m not doing tofu, that’s like 5-7 minutes and you’re done. I add some seasonings like cumin, chili powder, paprika, and sometimes lime juice. Super easy base that you can change up depending on what you have or what you want to eat. And of course meals like pasta, salads, or sandwiches are pretty quick. If you want any more suggestions, I’d be glad to offer some. It’s super easy once you get started! Good luck on your journey!!
When all else fails, canned beans are a lifesaver.
When all else fails you can eat peanut butter sandwiches, pieces of fruit, crackers and hummus, handfuls of nuts, avocado toast with nooch, frozen or canned vegetables microwaved with canned beans and a sauce (like BBQ or sriracha), and buy vegan products that are pricey and processed but they are tasty and fast (and some are healthier than others, I love Gardein).
Thanks for the help. Although I stay away from microwaves. I have been watching many vids that are helping. Ps. I need me that insta pot. I own a pressure cooker but it doesn’t cook for the future! So awesome. !!
Hello Mic - I wanted to thank you for your videos. I’ve struggled with an eating disorder for years, and your videos have helped me to rebuild my relationship with food and my body. Thank you!
Also, pro tip for instant pot. Put a folded towel over the steam release valve before opening it. Then it wont steam away your kitchen cupboards. Or burn your hands.
I see you like a little oatmeal with your fruit...lol
Yvonne Dundee lol.
Been vegan for about a year. To anyone starting out and is bummed about giving up eggs at breakfast or brunch, I highly recommend scrambled tofu. It's delicious and the texture is very similar to scrambled eggs but WAY better!
You're against eggs, but like to eat things that taste like egg... The self-righteous hypocrisy in the air is pungent.
Ha ha ha, Morgan deleted their comment because they realised how stupid it was. Yeah idiot, I didn't say you don't like the taste of animal products, I said it's hypocritical to be against something but still want the taste of it.
@@jnewgot no it isn't lol, and they aren't "against eggs" they are against animal abuse abuse and exploitation. So look at these statements and find the contradiction-
1. It is wrong to abuse animals.
2. I enjoy a certain flavour and/or texture.
@@Jalfred92 ": a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings
." If you're against it, but still want it.. you're a hypocrite. You don't get egg taste without wanting egg, it's delusional to think otherwise.
Exploitation, oh lord here comes the childish socialist argument all over again.
1. Abuse is subjective and collectively you're losing that argument.
2. If it's of something you are against people eating, you're a hypocrite.
@@jnewgot So that's some nice waffle you got yourself there, but you actually didn't answer, are positions 1 and 2 contradictory or not?
Note on 6:49 : PLEASE don't put your bare hands on the steam going out of a pressure cooker. It can lead to serious burning.
The idea of having a pressure cooker is awesome, though. In Brazil, pressure cooking is a must, as we have beans as our main food choice (which makes canned beans not an option on the long run,...), together with rice. For people that live in places where an electric pressure cooker is too expensive, you can try the old (but effective) pressure cookers that go on your stove tops as any other simple pan. And of course, you will be the timer, so be attentive to avoid burning your meal. LoL
I’ve been a Vegan for 1 year, I’ve lost 40 lbs, I am no longer pre- diabetic and my blood pressure is fine now. I will always be a Vegan!
Whoa I need to try that Apple technique!
Instant pot change my life, bought it used of course. I paid 30$ for it. Never buy new stuff if there are plenty of used units around.
These things have 2 safety heat fuses that when blown, cut the AC current. So if they are listed broken, they will be probably easy to fix by replacing the 1c fuses. Or if you machine is "broken", its most likely the fuses. They are build so that the fuses are not made to be replaced by the user, bad design in that way. But they are still easy to replace.
The unit is extremely cheaply build, but works surprisingly well and has a proper stainless steel pot.
Great video, Mic! Thanks for the little push to reduce plastic usage!
I’m a vegan who doesn’t enjoy cooking. Loved this video bc these are the types of things I️ can handle! Been wanting an Instant Pot and this may have put me over the edge. I’d love another video with instant pot meals for other lazy vegans. Will def check out your cookbook! Thanks!!
Yass! I need that thing. I hate cooking!! All the vegan cooking channels I try to watch I’m like oh no I’m not doing all that and I’d also need need appliances ingredients I’ll never use again and hours in a day I don’t have.What He did here is def my style.
Ellen and Co.--- If you like to compose as you go, I highly recommend getting the IP. I cook up 3# potatoes and put them in a 1/2 gal mason jar in fridge. Want a cooked potato? They're done, ready to make potato salad, mashed, fried...Really fast. I make a batch of Brown Basmati Rice, put it into another 1/2 gal MJ and now I have a base for stir fries, top off with cheezy sauce or make a rice pudding or even a stuffing. I also do a jar of sweet potatoes, sure they're kinda ugly, but aren't they nice with a tomato sauce or just mashed plain. I also go low/no oil and the IP keeps the moisture content fairly well so less oils/margarine needed for those mashed dishes. Want a quick soup, just do your broth, add a potato put through your blender (you don't have to have a VitaMix but a high powered one helps, the Oster 1200 is mine) then jazz up seasonings and you have a cream of potato soup to which you can later add croutons, steamed veggies, broccoli, or peas and each day have a new incarnation. It also makes vegan yogurt so definitely a cost savings tool. Cheers!
CMS Sultana Wow, those are really awesome ideas, thank you!!! 😀
Ellen V.S. I love cooking I throw a hamburger in a frying pan and couple minutes later bang dinner is ready.

That spiral cut to the apple changed my life lol. 🙏🏼✨
This is a great video for me to share with non vegans to help them transition. I was just talking with close friends last night after watching What the Health together. We talked about a food service but this would help them cook at home cheaper. Thanks Mike.
Just discovered your channel and I’m obsessed! Love how you know what you’re talking about. Keep being awesome!😊🌱
My whole family have been vegan just over 6 months. I found this video so helpful as i have 2 hungry teenagers and this is quick and cheap. You were speaking my language. Thank you.
I mention the fat percentage calculation for that oily jar of sauce. Confused? I just made this mobile friendly calculator on Plantspace to make that WAYYY easier with that new cryptic FDA label: plantspace.org/fat-percentage-calculator/
PS: Can you tell I had a super late night before making this? I figured I would comment before some meat eater says I look like I am about to die and use it as an excuse to not go vegan lolllllll
Mic. the Vegan i know you dont do this but can you do quick videos rating vegan food...weather or not you will do this,i do not care if you not. You wont hurt my feelings,but i just think it will be cool if you introduce new or unknown vegan products,such as ripple, a plant based milk made from yellow peas
Mic. the Vegan cool vid. Just stepping through repping UK VEGANs 😊😎👍🏾👋🏾
Mic. the Vegan great vid Mic. Do you plan to make a vid on the antioxidants topic you mentioned?
I didn't notice. You looked healthy to me.
You should turn this into a series.
Thanks so much mike!!! Im going back to being vegan and veganuary is my kick start!!
Cmon stay vegan
Alfredo Gonzalez will do...after the back and forth between diets ..veganism is always the best for all reasons
Good luck!
Alfredo Gonzalez you gonzalez guys are everywhere! o.O :D
Same here! I'm also going back to vegan after falling off the wagon and eating vegetarian for 7 months. Good luck to you! :)
Thank you so much Mic great video. When people ask me why I became vegan I will say "just look at Mic's videos and tell me what you think?" So straightforward compassionate and filled with thought provoking information. I admire your and Lindy's ethical actions with your tiny house too. Look forward to your future videos and wish you all the very best.
Awesome timing. I was literally bought a pressure cooker this xmas.
Good work Mic.
Yum, these are all so simple but look great and not at all intimidating to make. Thanks for the video!
Awesome video! I've been eating a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast every morning. At first I though it would be gross, but once you put in the berries and fruits and dates... it's SOOOOOOO good! Also, I notice I don't get sleepy half way through the day anymore.
My Drawing Tutorials I like to add a tbsp of almond butter..so good.
T P why would you be in that crap diet?
I put one honey mango and its glorious. omg.
Exactly! I used to hate oatmeal because I’d only had the prepackaged garbage oatmeal before going vegan. I fell in love with it once I made my own and added fresh goodies to it.
Take a blood glucose test after and see how your body actually reacts. I used to eat oatmeal and actually learned to love it. Started taking 1h and 2h post-prandial (post-meal) glucose tests at home and realized that oatmeal shot my blood sugar to crazy levels yet I felt fine. Never would have known had I not tested myself. Just because a food is healthy, doesn't mean it is healthy for YOU. Everyone is different.
I love your videos!
And you seem to be a nice guy to be around.
Your content varies and doesn‘t get boring.
Your voice and the way you talk is good to listen to and never gets too much.
Thank you for helping the movement!
I got an Instant Pot for Christmas so thank you for the great timing of this video, I'd love to see more recipes using it. Also thanks for keeping it real can't wait to check out the cookbook. 👍🏻
Thanks for the great vid. It was perfectly suited for me. I went vegan (leaning mostly on the whole foods plant based health philosophy) about 5 months ago, and one of my biggest struggles was cooking delicious home cooked meals. I bought an instant pot which just arrived today so I could cook dry beans and rice easier. I didn't know about it's ability to cook in the future, nor did I consider cooking oats in it, which gave me problems in the past. Thanks!
This is awesome! This is how real people cook. "Aka grabbing some veggies out with my hand" haha. My husband and I think your videos are so great! We bought your cook book and can't wait to try the recipes!
Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. Good health and happy new year
thank you Mic for the great cooking ideas, I am often running out of them but this was inspirational and yet simple
I don't eat anything I can't assemble and microwave, and I'm happy with my vegan options.
The "Pressure Cook" button = "Manual" button on the newer or different models.
Love the practical video! Your usual videos are great and I wouldn't change up your usual style but it's nice to mix things up every once in a while.
Happy New Year Mic, thanks for the wisdom and the inspiration. ; )
I'm sure this is a new one for you: Your channel is amazing! :) . Your videos are filled with actual, educational KNOWLEDGE!, it's packed with tidbits, pretty concise, and precise scientific information. For beginners, and old time vegans. Please keep doing what you're doing!.. Thank you && Great Work!
Thanks Mic, Great vid... You've grown on me 😊
Love this video. You are so chill and relaxed. Very in your element! Thanks for a few simple ideas :)
The silpat silicone baking mats are perhaps my favourite kitchen tool on the earth. Highly recommend.
Coming through with that late night upload. Keep up the good work man.
just perfect for us europeans
Good Video Mike, love the salad
Great cooking episode mic! Simple easy delicious, got me some ideas here to try tempeh. And rice pasta and frozen spinach .. nice! I like how you prepared oats and breakfast. Tasty!
Love all your videos, Mic! I have an Instant Pot and it's very handy. LOVE the apple-cutting hack!!
Minimalist baker got me started. Cowspiracy. And you Mic.
Won'tRespond nice! Have you watched What the Health (same director as Cowspiracy) and Earthlings yet?
Can't he just make a salad sandwich or something for lunch...that lunch is a dinner
@@peggyb86 He's a big man and often times vegan food has less calories, meaning you have to usually consume more. My rule is that I eat until I'm full which is pretty easy for me, everyone is different though.
This is awesome! Thank you!
Hey MIc just bought your cookbook looking forward to adding this to my vegan toolbelt !!! I'll let you know how it goes !!! Thanks for taking the time to put this out for us !!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for the antioxidant chart. Cant wait for that video.
Thank you , I'm 6 days vegan , obsessed , a little bloated but feeling great love Vegan stuff- what was I thinking this last 40 years
Queenie Queen
How’s it going now?
Hey there! Still vegan ? If not, what happened ?
I never did see the difficulty. I went from hard core 200grams of protein per day to fruitarian with ease. All I needed to see was what it was doing to me, and what I had to gain. Or maybe I just have a will of steel.
Meal prep vid is what I need. Looked easy and satisfying. Def trying that lunch bowl tomorrow - though mine will need more broccoli and add carrots. Thanks!
I love salsa for lunch over dishes with potatoes or rice..salsas also have so many variations. Thanks again for a wonderful video!
From an Italian. Mic don't put the pasta in a cold bowl and pour sauce on top of it. With a big spoon with wholes pull out the noodle from the boiling water and toss it in the sauce with the fire still on. Let it simmer for a minute or two so the flavors melt together. Turn off the fire add some "cheese" and serve it.
Gigi Pizzuto I don't think he eats vegan cheese because he's oil free but yes I agree with you. I always put cooked pasta in the sauce for a minute or two. Its great with eggplant and FYH vegan mozzarella.
Christi Nash you can make your own cheese oil free. I do.
Christi Nash pretty sure hummus has olive oil in it
Gigi Pizzuto Lol as a Latina the beans were sad too... no flavor
Sweat potato , oats and cinnamon with 3 serves of fruit on the side every morning
Sweet potato in the morning? Interesting, haven't tried that
This is good! Love that he makes so many meals that look filling!
Thanks for showing the insta pot, looks really cool, setting it to have something ready in the morning would be awesome, I have a lot of trouble getting out of bed in time.
Great video at the correct time, happy new year..
More videos like this Mic. Awesome video!
Congrats on the book. Cant wait to grab my copy. Great Vid like always.
Great idea with the containers! Love it.
Thank you
I like putting in chia seeds and soak them in my oatmeal over night
Your videos are super helpful & informative. Thank you!
Loved this! Thanks for the Instant Pot recipe instructions.
My dad is making more vegan choices and I'm thinking of having him do veganuary(idk how to spell that) because hes getting pretty old and his diet is startibgv to catch up to him. Hopefully he will join in on it !!! Great video as always ! I really love you cooking videos. Have a great day!🌱
*starting* and *your* XD
You could also just use plain quick oats, put a couple scoops of that in a bowl, add water ( from the kettle, pop it in the microwave, etc) and then add syrup ( for sweetener or what ever you like) add some chia seeds, a spoonful of what ever nut butter and fruit ( bananas are my personal fav. I usually mash them in with my oat meal. On the days I don't have bananas I'll use what ever fruit I have handy, or no fruit because money) and bam, you have delicious oat meal that's ready like in less than 5 min.... may not be the healthiest way but it gets the job done.
Ashley Frost quick oats aren't as nutritious as steel cut, and we need to be really careful about artificial sweeteners too. Fruit adds sweetness with an added nutrition boost, so is clearly the best option for sweetening. But each to their own...🤗
Tnk so mush mic , all the vy best for the new year borther. Im trying
all yuh recipes and loving them all 🙄 . Peace and love 💚💚 keep up the vegan vibes💪😉💪😉💪😉💪😉 ...
Thank you thank you!! Off to go shopping now 🏃♀️
I'd be lost without my Instant Pot - best investment ever. Great video for those who thing Vegan is too complicated. I had a few Instant Pot recipes (red lentil chili) that I made weekly to get me into the swing of things.
The Amazon silicone baking mats were literally in my cart! 😬 Thanks for the heads up! What's a good brand?
Well these have better reviews than the amazon ones: www.amazon.com/Silicone-Baking-Mat-Professional-Nonstick/dp/B00Y5VO7F4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1514585354&sr=8-3&keywords=silicon+baking+sheets
Fantastic video! Thank you for helping so many people!
Your videos are so helpful and motivating!
Do you think you'll also make physical copies of your book later on (instead of just e books)? I'd buy it
liked before watching
This was really helpful, I'm looking forward to your other Veganuary videos!
Thank you so much for your videos. So helpful 💪💪
14:40 what about acrylamide?
Dude your eyes are amazing😍
Great vid. Looking forward to your batch cooking. Just went vegan 4 weeks ago. Thanks for your nutritional info on your channel and your ebook, so I’m feeling confident going forward.
Thank you so much for all of your videos! They've been so helpful in my transition to a vegan lifestyle!
Sweet
Dude I need that instant pot!!!!
Amazon Black Friday in July will have them cheap.
You do! If it's just you, they have a mini version - that's what I have & I LOVE it!!! (Only - I cook my pasta for 3-4 mins - any longer and it's complete mush)
Cerenade Me wow thanks!! I’ll be cooking for 2. What a time saver, I’m excited!
Kelley King omg thank you!!! I buy everything on amazon!!
Damn I love cooking and my lifestyle is one meal a day, you people eat way too much glucose.
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see to help out with instant pot ideas.
Thanks Mic the Vegan!
Waiting for the batch cooking video, thanks for all Mike
But Mic, what if you haven't joined the Instant Pot cult? : ) Glad you posted this for the noobs, but also for the rest of us! Happy New Year to you and yours!
I tried to explain both ways! BUT JOIN USSSSSSS (BEADY RED EYES)
@tamcon72 You can just cut up some fruit or vegetables, make a sandwich with tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and mustard (if you have access to vegan mayonnaise, that's good too), you can also make a fruit smoothie or just boil some pasta and top with a jarred vegan friendly marinara (or make your own) and if you're super lazy like me, you can just bake a sweet potato or other potato. Good luck :)
Nia Garcia Most vegans are lazy and are also cowards.
+ *Shawn Darling* Yes, we're so lazy we have coined the term Whole Food Based, to reflect our tendency to cook from scratch to avoid hidden animal products, unlike omnis. Likewise, we're such cowards we have learned at great emotional and psychological distress cost of the horrors of animal agriculture and turned our backs on that system at great risk of opposition from everyone we know. If that isn't the definition of cowardice, I don't know what is, har-har! Boy, you trolls are fu-neeeeeee!
tamcon72 Yeah I had a vegan on our volunteer fire department he left my kid brother and two childhood friends trapped on a roof and they fell through the roof getting busted up. All because they are in the hunting and fishing industry with me. My friends they are okay but my brother had to have pins and screws put in both his legs. He spent Christmas and New Years in the burn unit. I spent a little time in the hospital myself for smoke inhalation because I helped get those guys out.
So what do we do with our shoes/boots/bags that are made of animal hides? I've been vegan for many years and have items that I don't know what to do with! Perhaps a video for this topic would help reduce animal consumption as well!
Andrea Wilson We were given a toy cat that was clearly made of real cat fur, so we’re going to bury it in our back garden along with our deceased pets. 😔 Obviously you can’t do that with tons of handbags and shoes, so it’s a case of using them till they fall apart as you already have them, throwing them away, or giving them to somebody. There’s not really a “right” answer.
These look so yummy! And these are all foods I already cook with. The InstaPot looks bomb. Thanks Mike!
I've been a vegan for over a week and honestly I love it and will never go back to eating meat again! I feel good physically and it's really nice knowing that I am saving animals lives by going vegan and that I am helping the environment. I really love the vegan food and it's one of the best choices I've made and will not regret at all!
in my country flax and chia cost around the same... Both are imported so the price is high regardless. 😑 is there a major difference? I usually buy chia because I don't like the flavor of flax
Jovis just make sure it’s ground. I can find ground flax easier than ground chia. If it’s not ground it will pass without you getting all the benefits. Flax also have substantially more lignans and there is benefits to that as well but don’t overdue it.
Both are fine and I don't think you need either. Some people think you need lots of essential omega-3 ALA but I'm pretty sure out body only needs much smaller amounts of ALA than this and doesn't use the rest.l so I don't ise it.
Chia can actually be fully digested without any need to grind them :) that is why I tend to use chia, as ground flax seed go stale more easily and I do not want to grind them myself :D
Hannah Sakuraiku ruclips.net/video/PfxrhimGIvg/видео.html
thanks people! yeah I've noticed when I eat flax whole they just don't really digest much, and I don't have a food processor to grind them anyway
Here is a meal: get plants, boil until soft, add things to make tasty (salt, tomato sauce), eat :D (if you taste sweet, you have boiled fruit, so you fail at veganism).
Nikolay Nikolov 😂😂
LOL
The salt is so fricking important. Tonight I made spaghetti with Trader Joe's marinara, fresh squash and zucchini, and canned tomatoes. I stupidly didn't use salt and it was very bland and hard to eat. It could have been delicious, but I'm a new vegan and didn't know what spices to put in. Suggestions? How much salt do I need to put in sauce?
Hi. If you are a new vegan, just don't worry about salt, use as much as you find it tasty. New vegans have a very high chance of failing and going back to animal products so lets make it easier. After like a year or two you have great chances to continue veganism successfully, then you can try making it even healthier.
Thanks for the advice. I can't go overboard with the salt though, because my husband has hypertension and heart disease. But I will definitely use a little in my cooking from now on.
Mike, thanks for a really great short intro to the Instant Pot. I received one as a Christmas present and am so ready to start cooking more dried beans in it. If you have any pointers, please share!
Awesome! I'm always looking for more recipes for my Instant Pot.
I like uncooked old fashion rolled oats with nuts, fruit, and ground flax with unsweetened vegan milk. To me it tastes better without cooking.
NoExitLoveNow same.Cooked oats have this really weird texture to me.
Yeah uncooked tastes amazing with fruit and almond milk
Steven Walling I’m going to have to try this! I’ve heard a couple of people say it tastes great.
Hi Mike I've been having cold normal oats mixed in with steal cut oats, ground flaxseed and wheatgerm with cold almond milk. Just cannot have them with warm or hot plant milk. Is it still healthy having it this way ?? Thanks for the video content mate. It's been a gradual transition for me over the past 6 years, but have been off all animal products for the last two years and have found massive improvement in my general health and wellness 👍💪😁
Nick Laz Yes, it's still healthy eating oats raw... Fruit adds lots of micronutrients tho, so adding some fruit would boost your nutrition profile...😊
Of course it's still healthy. Frozen blueberries, fresh fruit, or dried fruit will make it taste better though.
Yep! I eat cold oats with cold plant milk every day, with ground flax, raisins, and dates. So good. Have you ever tried overnight oats?
Thanks for the replies everyone. I cycle close to 300kms weekly and oats are my go to food. Often have them in the evening as a snack if I'm still hungry. Keep well and all the best for 2018
I wouldn't recommend raw steel cut oats because raw grains can make your stomach hurt but nutritionally there isn't much difference.
Thank you for these awesomely simple ideas!
