Great video! We featured your video on my website this week in our "Concessions" area. Link is in my bio!
I reccomend making your own soy yoghurt! Its super easy, you only need soymilk (with the only ingredients being soybeans and water) and some yoghurt (ive been successful using coconut yoghurt the first time and then using the pervious batch after that). You mix about 2 big spoonfulls of yoghurt per quart of milk, place it in the instant pot, and set to the yoghurt function for 16 hours. Removing the sealing ring helps prevent odors for mixing with the yoghurt.
siggi's or cocojune yogurt's 🤤
You cook such beautiful, colorful meals! I like to see the variety of what you're eating. And fun to see you hiking with Elsa Rhae and Barron– I've been following their channel for years! Two worlds collide!
love your content!!!! what chickpea curry recipe do you use?
Oui coconut yogurt is very good.
So Delicious plain, vanilla and lime are good ones, too.
Thanks for showing ways of using less energy. In California they charge so much for using energy. I've been unplugging or using a power strip to turn off energy. My Click and Grow uses 13 watts of energy. I use it to grow my plants for planting outside. I'm not a vegan or vegetarian but I do want to put more plant foods in my diet. And yes I would love for you to make some coconut yogurt. Thanks for your video…… it's very calming on a Sunday morning. Thanks
This was so enjoyable! I’m curious how much time you spend per day (or week) cooking?
Maybe do chia pudding (lots of recipes on the web) instead of yogurt.
I never cook my beans (or anything really) without adding the salt at the beginning because I feel like you can never add salt after the fact and get as good of a taste. Adding before enhances the food, adding after you’re just making things salty on the outside.
I love the plain Harmless Harvest coconut yogurt!
I make coconut yogurt in my InstantPot. It's super easy, tastes better & is WAY cheaper than store bought yogurt= winning on all levels!
👌🏻
Great video! I love harmless harvest’s vanilla coconut yogurt. Super yummy!! 😊
Kite Hill Yogurt is AMAZING, if you like a thicker consistency try the “Greek Style”. Absolutely phenomenal and high protein! This video was so soothing to watch and gave me lots of fun recipe ideas ❤ Hopefully you’ll get a chance to try the yogurt and love it 🤗
Bad idea watching this at night in bed cos now I want food 😂 I watch Elsa and Barron to 👍
My all time favorite store bought plant based yogurt is the trader joe's unsweetened organic creamy cashew. And its cheaper than any other I've found!
Lots of recipes for homemade plant yogurt in the instant pot!
Where did you get the indoor planter?? I love it!
I recently started making my own cashew yogurt and it beats all the store bought vegan yogurts I’ve tried. I blend 150 g of cashews (soaked in hot water for 2 hours) with 3/4 cup of water. I put that in a jar and mix in 2tbsp of unsweetened plain yogurt and then put in instant pot on the yogurt setting for 10-12 hours. It’s great with berries but also as a sub for sour cream or mixed into savory sauces.
The visual side is just so inspiring by itself
I'd love to know more about your interaction with Elsa and Barron, since you have such different approaches towards food.
Re: your shins. You live run-focused city. So perhaps folks there may have more advice than me. However, make sure you’ve got proper shoes, inserts, and that you are doing lots of foam rolling and massage to your legs.
Talking about food and a surprise appearance from Elsa and Baron!!! Loved this video!
Everything looks soooo good Immy! Need to try that lazy lasagna stat 😍👌🏼
I wouldn't call myself anti-vegan but i greatly love meat and surprisingly everything in this video appealed to me
Having lived in America for almost 10 years… yogurt sucks there. I’m loving being back in England lol 😅
You have to try making Soy yogurt in the instant pot! It's my favourite 😍
– pour in a carton (64 fl oz) of soy milk in the instant pot
– click yogurt button until it says boil
– heat milk to 180F
– take out pot cool milk to 110F (can also cool using ice bath)
– mix in 1/4 cup of plant based yogurt
– put instant pot back and click yogurt button
– set timer for 12-16 hours, depending how tangy you like your yogurt
-for a thicker yogurt, pour finished yogurt it into a nut milk bag and place over a strainer with a bowl underneath. Leave in the fridge overnight.
Hi Immy, recommend you connect with Plantiful Kiki here on Youtube. She also lives in Colorado and she and her family seem such kind beautiful people. Enjoying your videos, take care! <3
