I 've been eating kale regularly - leaves in my food (not daily) and stalks in my smoothies. Recently a slight nausea came on and has persisted. Who know what the source is. I checked my diet and Kale came up as a possible issue because of the thallium it contains. There's a lot of writing on it...

I usually cut broccoli, inner bottom part of celery, kale and collard green stalks only into small cubes & put all together in a bag in freezer and throw a handful into smoothies. They make the smoothies thicker & I can't even taste them. I've read they have nutritional value too so why waste...

I was doing a stir fry with seitan and when it came time to add a grain, I thought wait a minute, Seitan is basically wheat, do I even need a grain? Comments?

Soaked them overnite - they've been cooking 2 hours, still not soft. Yeah, they were in cupboard over a year but in tightly sealed glass jar. Should I give up after 3 hours?

Mid PMs between lunch & dinner, I usually have a smoothie to curb appetite & replace sweets snacks. A typical one includes: 1 cup almond milk 4 ice cubes greens like spinach or broccoli stalks frozen banana slices 4-5 frozen strawberries 3 canned pineapple slices heaping teaspoon of peanut...

Thought it was a good non-dairy healthy alternative w/some protein. I noticed the "organic" Aldi's grocery store version says it has "organic cane sugar" which annoys me because its sugar! How can organic sugar be healthy? It only has 7g / serv. I was only using the soy milk as an alternative...

Whole wheat or vegetable pasta - does it matter? Healthiest picks? Suggestions or ones you prefer? Whole Foods is not close to me and I find their prices to be on the high side and not viable... I'd like to focus on ones that are commonly found in most grocery stores and not exotic or hard to...

Simmered red beans 2 hrs after soaking 8 hrs - still a little hard I keep the pot lid open a crack on stove. I store them in glass containers sealed tight - probably over a year. I was under the impression beans last a long time if sealed and stored in a cool & dark place. Most of the cooked...

Some say Wheat bran bolsters digestive health by providing a good source of insoluble fiber, which can help prevent or treat constipation. It also acts as a prebiotic, promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria. In addition, it's rich in many plant compounds and minerals and an excellent...

I'll leave some in frig and some in freezer. Some (internet query) say store in frig in the broth you cooked it in - I'll finish it in less than 5 days. How to freeze? Some said wait for the liquid in it to dissipate, then freeze tightly wrapped portions. I was told 3 ounces is 1 portion. I was...

I have soy milk w/coffee daily. I have soy milk 3x / wk. with oats - fruits - nuts or seeds. I have TVP 2x / wk.(textured vegetable protein - don't know why it has the word vegetable in its description when its basically hulled soy.) I have Tempeh 2x / wk. I would have no problem adjusting any...

I usually bought in bulk on sales prior to considering becoming vegan. I have a half a year's supply of pork - chicken - beef - fish - turkey - fish - commercial salad dressings - white flour pasta and 2 bags of sugar (which I just used for coffee). I'm now 65% Vegan. I'm sure many other folks...

I ask because aside from healthy fats & vegs. the legumes - the whole grains and fruits contain carbs. I'm not an expert or dietician, I'm just curious how vegans see the the carb part of their diet... I've also seen info. that even suggests that there are even low carb & high carb fruits &...

I'll use it as a protein however since it comes from wheat do I even need to pair it with a whole grain carb like rice, quinoa or barley etc.., It only has 13 g carbs per serving while rice has 45g. Is it a personal choice kind of thing? I'm thinking that since its cooked in soy sauce and its a...

Any ideas on vegan mayo brands and Creamy Italian or Caesar or Ranch vegan brands? The commercial ones have dairy and salt and sugar and avg 17g of fat per serving... Thanks!

As I see it, early in my vegan meal planning, there's tofu, tempeh, soy curls, TVP and soy milk which all come from the soy bean, Any helpful comments on all these soy products vs. various other beans (lentil - chic peas - black beans - red beans - navy beans, etc.,) you include in your week of...

Any comments on this - it has 13g of protein per serving. They're flakes that when soaked look and taste like nutty ground meat.

Assume a person who's attempting to lower body weight in a slow but healthy fashion. I've ready that a limit of 1/4 cup a day of either nuts and / or seeds is about right. I bring it up because I often have nuts or seeds in my morning oatmeal and then feel guilty putting peanut butter in my PM...

If I add 1/4 cup of brown rice to a cup of beans, is it still a complete protein? Apologies, I'm learning.

Not to mention expensive... I saw one for $6 for 24 oz. I've seen some make your own yogurt stories... I was thinking why do I need yogurt for my oats & nuts breakfast - I could sub soy milk instead of continuing my hunt.... Helpful comments?
