      @@Simnettnutrition because you were busy working on the next e-book (which we love)! I learned that a lot of common plant milks have a lot of added oil in them, and some have greater environmental impacts (water consumption) than others. Appreciate all your time and effort creating content!

    • @Simnettnutrition
      @Simnettnutrition  2 года назад +2

      Yes, over boiling them can cause them to become bitter too! Haha, maybe I didn't eat enough as a kid, I was too busy downing gallons of milk trying to grow!

Your delicious Brussels sprouts recipe & mustard nutritional tip encourages me to eat them more. Can you do a video on carrots with a few interesting ways to make them. Even though carrots start off plain, they’re still one of my favorite vegetables.

    This is my favorite series on the channel. Would you be willing to do a video on how to select foods that are in season? It’s not nutrition specific, but just going into why it’s important, energy cost for out of season crop transport as well any possible studies on the nutrient levels for both groups if they vary? I’m sure others have done videos on this but I like your video flow/perspective both from a health and ethical standpoint.
