(if you don't like frozen banana then low cal icecream also works, or frozen So Delicious Cocowhip)

1 cup Silk Protein Chocolate Pea, Almond, Cashew Milk

30 grams Protein Plus Peanut powder (16 grams of protein for 110 cal!)

49 grams frozen banana

total cals = 301

mix in blender and that's it!

I buy Protein Plus peanut flour and the ingredients are literally just dry roasted peanuts.

I add a little salt on my own.

Not sure if you guys have Amazon there, but you can also search for 'wheat gluten'. That's the powder form of seitan (pre-seitan if you will). It's much cheaper but you have to use it to make the seitan yourself.

Here is some cheap wheat gluten and here is a good recipe for making seitan.

It's definitely a thing, here's a link to a good protein flour product on amazon. In fact, I use it almost every day!

Peanut flour!!

I add this to my oatmeal while I'm cooking it, and it tastes so peanut-y for less calories! I also use coconut milk as my favourite brand is 45 cal/cup. The whole milk is a lot of cals as well.

Recipe- vital wheat gluten, flour, water. https://www.connoisseurusveg.com/how-to-make-seitan/

I get this one wheat gluten amazon: Vital Wheat Gluten by Anthony's (4 Pounds), High in Protein (4lb) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_r4oiDbH8YJS7C

I get this VWG from Amazon, it’s cheap and seems of high quality. https://www.amazon.com/Vital-Gluten-Anthonys-Pounds-Protein/dp/B00PB8U7Y0 I follow a recipe in one of my instant pot books cause it’s my preferred method to make it. I’ll link a few other recipes below in a few.

Replace the chicken with homemade seitan. You can get a 4-pack of vital wheat gluten on Amazon for a little more than $5/bag.

Last year I moved from a vegan-friendly city to the sticks, so I've been experimenting with alternatives to vegan prepackaged protein. I've been playing around with lots of seitan recipes and ended up combining the best ingredients from several. A friend, who is a meat-and-potatoes kind of guy minus the potatoes, said it was "all right", which is huge. Also, the cost is less than half compared to frozen chicken.

If you're having problems finding vital wheat gluten, it can be found here on Amazon for really cheap: https://www.amazon.com/Vital-Gluten-Anthonys-Pounds-Protein/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=sr_1_4_s_it?s=grocery&ie=UTF8&qid=1526228474&sr=1-4&keywords=vital+wheat+gluten&dpID=41mzSF8WRxL&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch

Okay, so here is the recipe:

Preheat Oven to 400 F

In a large mixing bowl. (If you have a stand mixer with a dough attachment, use it, it'll save you lots of work!)

Ingredients

1 Cup Vital Wheat Gluten

2/3 Cup Vegan Veggie Broth (Better than Bouillon works great)

1/8 Cup Tahini

1/2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika

1 Tbsp Vegan Teriyaki Sauce (I used Wegman's brand)

1 Tbsp Vegan Kansis Style BBQ Sauce (Wegman's brand)

1/2 tsp Black Pepper

2 Cloves Pressed Garlic

Knead for three minutes, rest for 5, then knead for 10. Form into 1 inch thick logs, cover the logs in more BBQ Sauce. Wrap the logs tightly in aluminum foil. Place on a baking sheet into the heated oven for one hour. Flip logs occasionally to make a nice crispy crust.

I shop at Winco Foods, they have it in bulk for $2 per pound. Not really sure where else to get it

edit: Amazon has it

I make the dankest 1000 cal shake imaginable. Follow these steps:

1. Get a 8 pound tub o' whole oats powder from Amazon
   
2. Get a 2 pack of 28oz Blender Bottles from Amazon
   

Recipe/Instructions:

• Put some blended mixed frozen fruit in the bottle (blend the frozen fruit in a blender in bulk with water - keep refrigerated for further use throughout the week)
  
• Pour a little milk in
  
• Put 1.5 to 2 scoops of vanilla protein powder in
• Pour a little milk in
  
• Put 1 scoop of the oat powder in
  
• Pour a little milk in
  
• Put 2.5 generous spoonfuls of vanilla or plain greek yogurt in
  
• Put 5 tablespoons of peanut butter POWDER in
  
• Pour enough milk to reach near the top of the bottle
  

Close it up, secure it, and shake - enjoy the dankness - super smooth consistency - EZ

Also, you'll notice - my ingredients are very similar to yours but the key difference is POWDERED whole oats, POWDERED PB, and BLENDED (w/ water) fruit.

For flour tortillas, this one looks pretty legit, and you probably already have all the ingredients. You can replace the shortening/lard with butter or other cooking fats, but be careful about introducing other flavors.

For corn tortillas, you'll need masa harina, which is a specially processed corn flour. Maseca is a good brand. You can just follow the recipe on the bag for good results (just add water!), although I like to add a little butter or shortening, maybe 1 tbsp per cup of masa. I'd refer back to that flour tortilla recipe for tips on rolling, cooking and storage.

You can buy 4lb of vital wheat gluten from Amazon for very cheap. It changed my life in the kitchen.

Honestly you can get wheat gluten pretty cheap. It's kind of like the idea of making your own bread. It's technically cheaper to make your own bread, but the amount of time and work that it requires, and the quality of the result, usually means it's just not worth it to make your own. I think wheat gluten is the same way. Amazon has this bag, 4 lbs for $18. This gives you 1370 grams of protein for $18, or 76 grams per dollar. I think you will be hard-pressed to find a better deal than that, even if you are making it on your own at home.

Yea, prime ship is gone on that one BUT ... a 2 LB package for $13.90 (about $0.44/ounce) is available with prime ship here

And yes! peanut flour = powdered peanut butter. to eat like peanut butter, add water salt + sweetener of your choice. Bonus? I can't go digging into these packages with a spoon like I do with regular PB

Edit to add: If you're not signed up for Amazon Smile, these links direct you to it and Amazon will automatically donate to whichever charity you choose - no additional money from you is required. Cheap way to donate!

Amazon has them at 1.44 per pound. This link allows you to "set up a subscription" for 25% off. 1.08 per pound on the first order:

Will be bland AF

We were in San Diego. Sorry LA peeps!

Pizza was at Buona Forchetta

Pasta was at Mimmos in Little Italy.

The mix I’m trying this weekend is:

Antimo Caputo Gluten Free Pizza Flour 2.2lb - All Natural Multi Purpose Flour & Starch Blend for Baking Pizza, Bread, & Pasta https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FXH8QFQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_ESREEEJYM63GE27X3JQX

Your best friends ↓ https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PB8U7Y0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_K1V4QNC0N72MJ8KW7Y2R https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BC36S52/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_W39ZCHC3GVHT61JPPY7J I eat so much of these and share these links so much they should sponser me lmao

This is the one that I get:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008QHPVO4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_HTKF670TF11BE7MTH738

I used to buy whole oats and grind them up in a blender first, but this is just so much more convenient.

I saw someone post their pizza made with Caputos GF flour and it looked so good I had to try it. It’s the first actually good GF pizza crust I’ve tried. Bought on Amazon and I used the recipe from the bag.

My wife and I have ordered it from Amazon. I think its more expensive than you would find in a supermarket, but if you can't find it near you, this may be an option.

Here's Mary's Test Kitchen's seitan playlist (the playlist is ordered by date so the videos towards the end are probably better)

Making seitan from flour isn't a great idea, it's kinda time consuming, IIRC about the same price since you throw away part of the flour in the process (keeping only the gluten), you're better off getting "vital wheat gluten" from amazon

What I do is that I always have a batch of seitan in the freezer and I take from that when I need some, and make some more (of a different kind) when I'm almost out of it

The peanut flour is soooo great. I found it on Amazon, but I think it's also at vitacost (for cheaper, probably). The binder is the most interesting part actually, it's the Vitafiber syrup. It has a light sweetness and the consistency of honey. You can get it on amazon too

https://www.amazon.com/VitaFiber-IMO-Syrup-2-64-28-4/dp/B00TIX50OQ It saves you calories because it takes the place of oil and some of the sugar. I love this stuff.

edit to add link

Either Netrition or Amazon (whichever is cheapest)

https://www.netrition.com/protein_plus_peanut_flour.html

https://www.amazon.com/Protein-Plus-Roasted-Natural-Peanut/dp/B0052OOYOW

Love this product! It's 110 calories & 16g protein for 1/4 cup. You have to add your own salt and sweetener like I did. Sometimes I mix in low calorie pancake syrup with warm water to get a peanut butter type consistency. Try it with graham crackers as a dip.

I can find it at Meijer locally (it's a chain here in the US Midwest, if you're not familiar). Otherwise, options exist on Amazon as well. Bob's Red Mill works fine (it's the kind I find locally); I just purchased a big 4 lb. bag of Anthony's since I know at this point I'll use it!

It is slightly more specialty. I order mine from amazon. It is like $14 for a large bag or $6 for a small bag and lasts for months. You can also find sugar free pbfit in many stores, but that has added monk fruit and salt and is much pricier.

It might become commonplace in the future. You can buy cricket flour now. It's flour made from ground-up crickets.

It's even sold on Amazon.

But some common foods that you've eaten probably already contain insects as an ingredient.

For example, have you ever eaten a food product with one of these listed on the ingredients...?

• Carmine
• Cochineal
• Cochineal extract
• Natural red 4
• E120

They're all different names for the same thing. A red food dye made from a crushed-up insect.

I get mine on Amazon through Great River Organic Milling. It's $37.81 for 25lbs, if you can't find an individual to buy from.
