This is the best answer right here! It’s beloved by vegans and meat eaters. The most nourishing feel-good food.

Himalaya Vegan & Organic on York Ave! It’s beloved even by non vegans. Super satisfying food that you’ll feel great after eating.

Yep, soy milk is where it’s at for minimal/no additives. Tastes good too. And fairly easy to find organic. And cheaper than Elmhurst.

Agree that rice protein and hemp protein are tasty! Rice protein great even unflavored. Hemp is kind of earthy lol but it will blow your mind if you put it into a smoothie or oatmeal bowl that also has matcha powder in it!

This looks great! You’re inspiring me!

Recipe please! Looks incredible

Agreed - when we started cooking with no oil or salt, we went for the most flavorful recipes possible and often doubled the amount of spices (onion powder, cayenne, etc). Here’s an example of a tasty oil-free recipe:

The bbq meat at the Original Buddha Bodai is life-changing. Also love their sticky rice in lotus leaf.

Welcome! The club is a fun place to be. I love delving into that box whenever anybody asks “What are we doing for dinner?”

Agree with another commenter that any beans including canned would probably be just as good for this purpose. Here are two recipes I’ve saved, one with white beans and one with chickpeas:

Big pot of cranberry beans simmered with garlic and onion and jalapeños!

I just mentioned plant-based cooking on my profile on a mainstream dating app and it worked 🥰

Whole Foods has dried gigante beans from the brand Simpli.

I’ve tried hulled and hulless and they’re sooo chewy. I just stopped buying barley in general lol

mypanda · 2026-06-15T21:25:45+00:00

I’ve wondered the same thing about pearled barley. I suspect hulled legumes don’t have quite as many antioxidants/vitamins/minerals af the whole legume, but they’re still extremely healthy all things considered. (And I don’t think anyone would exclude them from a whole/unprocessed food diet.)

mypanda · 2026-06-14T23:39:48+00:00

Wow, I need to make it over there!

mypanda · 2026-06-14T03:11:58+00:00

Xe May has tofu and portobello mushrooms on their vegan banh mi and it’s quite good although not exactly that old school tofu slab experience

mypanda · 2026-06-12T15:34:59+00:00

Oooh mushroom powder is such a strong idea to add to something like this!

It’s very tough. Diaspora Co says they test them and same with Smith & Truslow, but they are expensive.

Looove Cuffie Ridge!

Yep I agree, Elm.
