PLEASE DONT REMOVE THE AVOCADO STUBS. I manage a produce department and this tip RUINS avocados. It allows air into the flesh and actually causes the browning that you’re looking for. Gentle squeeze is the best way to pick an avocado

Yes! This! I always get slightly unripe avocados and look for firm that have stems still attached. Once home I set them aside till softened THEN remove the stem, usually after 1-2 days, and refrigerate for up to 7 days.

In my country we eat avocados for dessert! The first time I saw and tasted avocados as a savoury food was when I travelled. At home, we blend avocados with sugar and lemon juice, then put the cream in the fridge for a few hours before serving. It's sweet and creamy, with the kick of acidity from the lemon. Truly delicious and addicting. Feel free to try it out!

Me too, tho I'm from America. My Filipino mom raised us with avocado milkshakes (avo, milk, vanilla ice cream, sugar). I STILL make a version of this for bfast (cold avo, almond milk, a little blue Agave). But when i moved to CA and saw GUACAMOLE for the first time - (avo with onions, garlic and lime!?) it was VERY alien to me. Of course I quickly learned avos are fabulous BOTH ways. 🙂

Those string bags are great for produce. The mesh construction allows them to expand to carry a lot of produce, but they also don't take up a ton of room. My mom had one that she would regularly take to the grocery store and farmer's markets. It held up really well for years.

Lemon water doesn't get your metabolism started any more than consuming anything (else) does. This trope/myth is repeated everywhere :x

@boxerdogmum583

That’s probably true. However...having a routine where you do / drink the same thing every morning does set up your circadian rhythms for the day. So if lemon water is that thing for you, go for it.

I had never heard of giving kale a massage to tenderize. What a great tip! I was using baby kale whenever possible

Of course sweet potatoes! But I live in Uzbekistan at the moment where they don't have any. There is one variety called Korean Sweet potatoes (hard to find) that taste just like regular potatoes to me. None of that soft orange sweetness at all. So loving your channel!

I am new here ❤️ I have watched several of your videos in the last week. They have all been very helpful!! I’m not vegan, but I have been trying to eat a more plant based diet for the last few weeks. Avocados are a staple in my house!! As for potatoes, I love the white ones and am trying to add more sweet potatoes in my diet. I also love lemon water when plain water gets boring. Thank you for sharing all your staples!!

Oh I love sweet potatoes! They're awesome in the oven (I'm definitely going to try some recipes with veggies on top of them, I'd just been using them as a simple side addition) or in stews (lentil stews with sweet potatoes and mushrooms is one of my favourite recipes). I still prefer "normal" potatoes when I want french fries, though. I like the avocado in that perfect "ripeness" too, but I do like using it when it's a bit on the firm side for salads, like a mix of little square pieces of avocado, black eyed peas, seasoning it with herbs, a bit of salt and lemon juice. I'd also like to say I've only recently discovered your channel and I'm wowed by it all, the cooking, the editing, the ideas, the recipes, the way you explain everything, your voice being so soothing and friendly...I don't even know what else! I love it! Thank you!

I'd you like avacado toast, you need to try Guacamole toast. It's my new favorite thing. I too the guaca mole with additional diced tomatoes. It's the best snack ever.

I'm not vegan nor vegetarian but always tried to as I have digestive issues and intolerance. I did make most of from scratch, many western option is not cheap in Asia but also have many Asian food is cheaper. so far, your videos is more realistic than most of other vegan health idea.

My favourite kale salad is super easy and delicious. Massage the chopped kale pieces with walnut or avocado oil and salt until tender, then add walnuts and Parmesan. I make a huge bowl and it keeps for days. I do like to add lemon juice on top when I go to serve it. I never thought to add sweet potatoes to a smoothie. I do add it to mashed potatoes occasionally and to my homemade dog food. Regular potatoes just have a different texture and are especially good roasted. Ever had Greek lemon potatoes? Yum! Sweet potatoes on their own are just too sweet for me.

Regular. I don’t like sweet potatoes unless in a stew or curry, but I m working on myself to incorporate and eat them more, because they are good for me. God bless
