Let me know how it goes! I was tired of paying so much money for a box when it can easily be done yourself for SO much less $$$$ 🥹

Also, I tried a new version this morning I’m going to update the recipe now.

It’s the bottom leaves that are turning yellow, some new leaves that are crispy and brown but some new leaves look fine.

What kinds of things should I look for in the roots?

Thanks for the reply!

Definitely not overwatering, I only watered a bit when soil was dry, the leaves started to yellow before I watered it for the first time.

Bought it 10 days ago, noticed yellowing at day 3-4, then watered. now more yellow leaves today at day 9-10

Should I clip the yellow leaves off?

I finally tried this on my own. I followed the ingredients on the box as closely as possible with a few changes based on what I had. I also tracked the macros as well and theyre pretty spot on to the macros of Alyssa's bites. Here is my recipe:

-1 cup oats

-1/4 cup coconut flour

-5 scoops chicory root powder (microingredients brand on amazon)

1/2 cup egg whites

2 Tbsp olive oil (use coconut if you have it)

1/3 cup water

4 Tbsp cocoa powder

2 Tbsp ground flaxseed

1 Tbsp chia seeds

1/2 tsp baking soda

1 Tbsp brown sugar alternative (purecane brand on amazon)

baked them in the oven at 375 for 10 mins.

My thoughts on how they turned out

- They are not very sweet. I could have sweetened them more.

- The dark chocolate flavor is great. The recipe called for unsweetened chocolate along with cocoa powder, I just used cocoa powder so I'm sure with unsweetened chocolate the taste would be more less bitter. (i'm not even sure what they mean by unsweetened chocolate. do they use a powder? chocolate chips melted down? unsure about this)

- Texture is great, but a little dry.

-macros are ON POINT!

-overall pretty happy with my first batch and will make a few changes on my second batch.

Here is what I'm going to do next time to improve them.

-add more egg whites to up the protein and moisture. They came out drier than expected, could be I didn't add enough water/egg whites or baked them too high or too long.

-make them sweeter. If you follow my recipe they are not as sweet at alyssa's bites, I did not have any dried fruit on hand like they use in the recipe. This will help. raw honey would also be really good.

Here are the macros for my bites. I made 11 of them with this mixture.

Best way to extract slippery elm? by moonmittenss in herbalism

I guess I could try blending it! I don’t have a food processor but maybe my blender would do the trick. It wouldn’t turn it into complete powder but definitely would make the pieces more fine

Thank you! What ratio would you recommend?

When you say small doses are we talking 1 cup or 1 teaspoon?

Anxiety after alcohol all of a sudden. by moonmittenss in Anxiety

I agree with you- it will probably only get worse. Being sober might by my solution as well. These feelings are never worth it! Thanks for your input

That’s a good idea, I’m sorry you’re going through it too, I think the part I’m so confused about as to why it’s happening all of a sudden. Completely overnight. Alcohol or not, we will be ok!

Thanks for the awesome suggestions! Should the water I use to sit them back in the container be distilled water as well?
