Is eating dates acceptable during the no sugar challenge? I just couldn't resist that raw vegan gluten free cookie 🙊
simply raw bakery
Day 2/7: Avoid Added Sugar Level III
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yep! Acceptable. Try not to overdo it with dates because they are quite sweet, but they are a great replacement in desserts.
-
annefood Yes @DiotimeBoudoussier ! Naturally occurring sugars in dried fruit are okay in small quantities. Try to avoid "date sugar" because it lacks the fiber that whole dates have, but a cookie sweetened...
-
garv Eating a date early evening makes for a great sugar rush + it's nutritious! I add a few to my pre-run smoothie
Burgers Of The Future (Cow Not Included) «

Take a listen to this recent Sporkful episode. What are y'all's thoughts on cultured meat? "We explore the future of carnivorousness -- from meat grown in labs to veggie burgers that really bleed t...
-
lauren I'm torn over this! On one hand, great because there's no killing involved. On the other, it's a pretty unnatural thing to eat. I couldn't figure out my stance as I was listening but I'd love to...
-
Yfalkson All for it, science should be done carefully, but we can't shun scientific progress. People will always want to eat meat, this has a chance to make a bigger impact then failing to selling veganism.
Anyone tried the Whole30 diet? Feedback?
whole30.com
I'm tempted to take my whole family down this one for 30 days. I think we are all sensitive to slightly different things - and I feel like I know my sensitivities well - but I think it would be val...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians I haven't done it intentionally, but I know @jessicaholmes tried it and loved it. After doing a #vegan challenge with @akhilg2002, I know there is a ton of value in doing it as a family. You have...

MargaretG @Rachna thanks!! I've trying doing some things on my own and it never works, which is why we're going to try this one together.

mirasingh The legumes were the the hardest part for me. I found I was eating more meat than I would have liked.
Raw vegan etc Papaya ideas?
Papaya are SOOOOOO healthy! But, to me, they smell and taste like feet. Looking for some great healthy recipes that mask the flavor, while saving 'the healthy.' 😊💖
-
sugardetoxme Oh man too funny. My friend always said that the texture of papaya made him think of beaten flesh. Turned me off for a while. But now I love it simply squeezed with fresh lime or as a papaya sorbet!
-
katewilson When I think of papaya, I think of dessert. Coconut with papaya and mango is nice, so maybe blended into a smoothie or frozen into a Popsicle?
-
katewilson Or papaya jam on sprouted bread
Raw Vegan Cabbage Ideas?
I have a GIANT cabbage -seriously, it's bigger than my head!- from my last Full Circle grocery delivery...I can't decide what to do with it all. I'm hoping you all have some tasty ideas. (Please no...

DietID_TeamDietitians Welcome @JenniferDoscher! Do you have a stove / hotplate?? If so, this awesome stew recipe from @terryhope would be perfect for cold days, small spaces, and winter ingredients...
-
JenniferDoscher Thanks, @Rachna it sounds yummy and I do have an electric grill thing, and a slow-cooker. Thanks!

DietID_TeamDietitians Also I just came across this randomly. http://www.laaloosh.com/2015/01/06/asian-red-cabbage-salad-recipe/
What do you think are the biggest issues in food today?
Is it in food production? Distribution? Access? Waste? Consumer education? Legislation? Something else entirely? Would love to hear what you guys think.
-
katewilson I'm voting food waste but I'm thrilled to see how much efforts are being put behind it now
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter I still feel the dietary guidelines are inadequate. If the USDA could consider the public over corporations, we'd have better direction.
-
sugardetoxme It's two parts for me. Food waste is obviously huge. If good food was about actually feeding people then we wouldn't have hunger, but food has become a business. But let's also talk about the big...
Thoughts on this? --In Defense of Eating Seasonally (Most of the Time)
food52.com
"Why embracing a "post-seasonal" world isn't the answer." I'm so glad this was written because Amanda Cohen's op Ed telling people to just give up on seasonal and local is not helping us progress. ...
-
annefood I agree—it is definitely not black and white. The alternative to a tomato out of season is not cereal. People are capable of being mindful, and also making exceptions. Most days I eat applesauce I...
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Yes this is most definitely a classic example of why we need a better vernacular. The terms are confusing and in fact create a polarizing discussion
Recommendation for a dinner restaurant with gluten-free and vegan options in Manhattan?

A friend of mine will be in town next week and wants a yummy and fun but not too fancy night out. Doesn't have to be a strictly vegan or gluten-free establishment, but one with some options. Any id...

Anyone in the community tried this vegan grain sausage? Your quick thoughts appreciated! 🙌
Carib Natural Farmers' Market

JenniferEmilson Is this local? Curious to know how it tastes. Intriguing.

MrsXtina Is this at the Caribbean organic store!?

Since it's fall, chili is my go-to meal for dinner. It's easy to make vegan if you swap out animal stock for vegetable stock and ground meat with either tempeh or tofu. It's completely up to you so...

Hey @ManyaModi ! So glad you're trying to cook dinner more often! One of my favorite vegan meals is these Roasted Garbanzo Beans https://www.annefood.com/blog/fennel-roasted-garbanzo-beans with...
