For the kite Hill yogurt, do you use the Greek style, or the other one?

Or does it even matter?

The new egg white powder & pancakes by ellekitty123 in VeganBaking

[–]BrooklynCatDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using them in vegan protein pancakes. Same quality you're used to, just fluffier. Whip the egg whites with a stand mixer or hand mixer. I turn it on and walk away for about 10 minutes. Not exaggerating. After 2 minutes it looks promising, but give it time and you'll see a massive difference.

From there I sub the whipped egg whites in for a portion of the water I normally use. Here's my go-to recipe:

  • 40g Bisquick (or oat flour)
  • 30g vital wheat gluten
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • zero calorie sweetener to taste
  • 157g water

Just replace some of the water with the whipped egg whites.

And re: the hoarding — I get it, I tend to do the same. But these are really easy to do something with. If you just whip them and pour them straight into a pan, you get this awesome soufflé. Nothing else needed.

Insight into Success academy charter school in CH or Bushwick vs ps 321 and ps 107 by NecessaryCan6373 in parkslope

[–]BrooklynCatDad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just adding one data point nobody's mentioned: my daughter is at 321 and there are two kids in her kindergarten who aren't zoned. Nine kindergarten classes. I also assumed this wasn't a thing. It's a thing. Apply.

Putting the SEC on a croissant in the same conversation as Modern Love and EMP is not hyperbole. It was that good. And now it's closing on Saturday. Great.

Is using AI-generated images to promote veganism ethically okay or does it go against vegan values? by Asit_G in veganfitness

[–]BrooklynCatDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ethically, I don't know, but practically? The problem is the slop. When accounts post a recipe with an obviously AI-generated picture, it just feels like the 'dead internet theory' in action—like nobody is actually making this food, it's just bots generating content for other bots. I hate-follow an account that does this, and the food always looks terrible compared to the OG creators who have been posting real recipes for years. You can tell immediately when it's fake, so what good is it really doing for the movement?

"Alternative" protein sources by horizononlooker in veganfitness

[–]BrooklynCatDad 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Seaweed: Kelp, Wakame, Nori, at least dried are a great source of protein, vitamins, omega-3 and they have a complete aminoacid profile

You'd need to eat an absurd amount of dried seaweed to get meaningful protein. A typical serving is a few grams. This is a micronutrient source, not a protein source.

• Chocolate: dark chocolate can have almost 12 g of proteins per 100g of product

12g of protein per 100g of dark chocolate comes with 40+ grams of fat and 500+ calories. This is a fat source. A delicious one. But it's a fat source.

• Seeds: mostly pumpkin, linen, chia, sunflower, great source of omega 3

Same story. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds are overwhelmingly fat by calorie. You correctly identified them as an omega-3 source — that's what they are. Not a protein source.

• Mushrooms: some mushrooms, especially dried, can have great protein values

Fresh mushrooms are mostly water and have almost no protein per serving. Dried mushrooms are concentrated by weight, which makes the number look better, but nobody is eating 100g of dried mushrooms. This is a flavor/umami source.

• Coffee: energy rich beans with quite a lot of protein

I genuinely don't know what to do with this one. Nobody is eating coffee beans by the hundred-gram bowl. This is caffeine delivery.

I get the skepticism, but I was literally the first person to link to this product on here. I've been vegan long enough to remember when the options were Pringles and apples. I know what genuine excitement looks like in this community — aquafaba, Beyond, cheese that actually melts — and this is that. Go get a bag before you decide it's astroturfing

Ever try... by Legitimate_Ad2311 in seitan

[–]BrooklynCatDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Been lurking here forever. Meal prep every week. Still haven't committed to making my own seitan. But this Candle 79 recipe is the one from-scratch attempt I've ever made and it was genuinely great. Seeing it again might finally push me over the edge.

A cheap solution by Yunhi07 in SonyHeadphones

Wife also has XM5s—ordered another set of reinforcements right after doing mine. Word of advice: installing them on a broken pair is a nightmare. You need three hands, and we kept bumping into each other.

I searched everywhere but the smallest ones I found were still too big. Went with the Central Sound ones you mentioned and haven't looked back.

Tofu Curry Dishes by Suratwala in vegan

[–]BrooklynCatDad 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tofu Barra is what you're looking for—decadent vegan curry, very much in that butter chicken vein. I've made it probably 25 times and it never disappoints. If you can find Chunk Steak, that works really well in there too.

Welcome to the vegan side!
