I add yeast to popcorn, pasta, and veggies. It's really good on

braised kale with onions.

Nutritional Yeast

 

Have you tried Nutritional Yeast? It's not the leavening yeast that

makes bread rise (nutritional yeast contains no live enzymes) and

it's not Brewer's yeast either. It is a condiment/ingredient and

dietary supplement (rich in minerals, B vitamins - particularly B12 -

and protein) that has a nutty, slightly sweet flavor that many

describe as cheese-like. It's animal-free, dairy-free, sugar-free

and Kosher. You can use it to add flavor and nutritional value in

recipes for sauces and gravies; mix it into scrambled eggs or tofu;

keep it in a shaker to sprinkle on salads, popcorn, pasta, baked

potatoes or sandwich fillings; add it to casseroles or beans; etc.,

etc. There are a number of brands, but I recommend only Red Star

Vegetarian Support Formula T6635+ Nutritional Yeast. Its

manufacturing process guarantees it is the only proven, reliable

vegan source of Vitamin B12. You can find the yeast at many health

food stores in flaked or powdered form – both have a yellow

coloring. Store it in a cool, dry place or refrigerate it. It keeps

indefinitely. One caveat - adults shouldn't eat more than 3

tablespoons of nutritional yeast per day – more may cause an

increase in uric acid in the bloodstream, putting stress on the

kidneys and/or contributing to gall stones or gout in certain

individuals. One serving (approximately 3 tablespoons) of

nutritional yeast contains 47 calories, 8 grams of protein, 5 mg of

sodium, 5 carbohydrates, 4 grams of fiber and less than 1 gram of

fat.

I have been using nutritional yeast that I buy in bulk to make cheese like

sauces... try googling " vegan cheese " to get some ideas I trid a recipe

called " Macaroni Hates Cheese " that we really enjoyed the sauce of on cooked

cauliflower... You can get that recipe easily by googling that title as well...

All in all I am really finding I enjoy the nutritional yeast flavor...

Bright Blessings,

this is the BEST faux macaroni and cheese recipe... just use rice

pasta.

 

Macaroni and " Cheese " Casserole from the New Farm Cookbook.

 

I added half the amount of oil (1/8 cup because 1/4 seemed excessive)

and 1/2 tsp of mustard powder for taste. I'm thinking I might turn

this into my mom's casserole which consisted of elbow macaroni,

monterey jack cheese, velveeta cheese, chopped ham, and chopped

broccoli flourettes. I think I'd be able to veganize it pretty easily

with this recipe.

 

Serves 5 (actually probably serves more as this is a really filling

dish)

 

3 1/2 cups cooked elbow macaroni

1/2 cup margarine

1/2 cup flour

1 1/2 tsp. salt

2 Tbsp. soy sauce

1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder

tumeric

1/4 cup oil

1 cup nutritional yeast flakes

paprika

 

 

Cook 3 1/2 cups elbow macaroni.

 

In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup margarine over low heat. Beat in 1/2 cup

flour with a wire whisk and continue to beat over a medium flame

until the mixture (called roux) is smooth and bubbly. Whip in 3 1/2

cups boiling water, 1 1/2 tsp. salt, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1 1/2 tsp.

garlic powder, and a pinch of turmeric, beating well to dissolve the

roux.

 

The suace should cook until it thickens and bubbles. then whip in 1/4

cup oil and 1 cup nutritional yeast flakes.

 

Mix part of the sauce with the noodles and put in casserole dish, and

pour a generous amount of sauce on top. Sprinkle w/ paprika and bake

for 15 minutes in a 350 preheated oven. Put in broiler for a few

minutes until " cheese " sauce gets stretchy and crisp.

Hi Sharon;

 

As a person interested in eating the best diet for athletic performance, maybe

this article would be helpful.

 

http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/vegetarian_athletes.html

 

Fortunately, getting " enough " protein is something we have learned is far easier

than was once thought! :-)

 

Here's a website with lots of interesting reading for vegan athletes:

Enjoy!

Hi all-

 

So I recently found out that I am allergic to soy. I am dissapointed

because I was hoping that would be another source of protein for me.

So now that I've discovered that I am allergic to dairy, soy and

gluten - I am wondering how to get enough protein! I workout alot,

and need the protein for muscle recovery. I can have a little red

meat, and fish - but not every day. So I need as much advice as

possible on how to get enough protein. I know there are rice based

protein powders, but I would love to get the protein from food sources.

 

Thanks in advance!

Sharon

There is more iron in meat, but most of it is not in a form easily

utalized by our bodies. There is more USEABLE protein in broccoli

than there is in beef. When we eat meat to get protein, we are

eating only the left over, mostly unusable kind. The readily usable

protein was already used by the cow.

Questions like that are best answered by a professional and I'd say that a

nutritionist would

be your best bet. But I can tell you--and I think most here would tell

you--that we, including

children, actually need far less protein than we're led to believe. Protein

comes from so many

sources that it's almost impossible to not get enough if you eat a well-rounded

diet. Eggs,

nuts, dairy, green veggies are all good sources, not to mention beans and soy

products.

There are so many good-tasting faux meat products out there. Being a vegetarian

has

literally changed our lives for the better and I hope your grandchild reaps the

healthful

benefits as well.

What is everyone's favorite way to get protein in the morning? My personal

favorite is a peanut butter bagel.

For months it's been a green smoothie. Lots of people don't realize

that spinach and kale and all those greens are full of protein.

 

Lately it's been oatmeal made with vanilla oat milk and a couple

teaspoons of almond butter or peanut butter and topped with a few

almonds and/or sunflower seeds.

 

I pretty much don't do wheat or most other grains. (With occasional

exceptions,,.)

I had to chime in on this one. I'm a big peanut butter fan in the AM as well.

Also, I try to incude protein powder into almost everything I bake since I have

a weakness for homemade baked goods and fruit in the morning. This isn't

enough, but a good start to the day.

 

 

[Guest guest]

Honestly the reason why I asked was not a concern for too little prottein I just

know protein helps with energy. I have been so fatigued lately and I thought if

I ate a little extra protein and drank more water it would help. Also I need to

cut down on carbs I need to lose some weight. And people say you can starve to

death on a veggie diet hehe

[Guest guest]

I like egg whites most of the time, occasionally we'll have the yolks but

like you, I need to lose some weight! Also the peanut butter is a good

idea. I'll toast some whole grain bread and then spread it with peanut

butter instead of margarine or butter. Just spread it thinly. That cuts

down on the fat. And I find that the peanut butter usually gives me a

little more energy than the eggs. Probably a combo of the fat and the sugar

in it.

I thought I would chime in on this one too, since I get up at 4am, I usually

have 2 breakfasts (hobbit style!, lol). I start with a smoothie, 1 cup soy

milk, 1 cup frozen strawberries, 1 tablespoon of flax oil, 1 scoop of vanilla

whey powder and stevia.

 

Then around 9ish, I usually have millet patties, with cheese and salsa.

Are quorn rashers as good as people say? I guess they must be, or you wouldn't

I will confess that the quorn rashers I can take or leave, I love the Quorn

That sounds delish!

I normally just eat a banana in the morning at work and then a multi-grain

" cereal " Nature's Choice cereal bar in mid-morning.

On the weekend, I usually just have a bowl of some yummy granola type cereal.
