How’d it go? Tell us everything!
If I want to use real coffee instead of instant, what would the substitution be? Thank you
I’d recommend 1 cup of coffee, 1 cup almond milk (instead of two).
Lenny, I love your website and your movement. I am however concerned about the abundant use of Stevia, unless of course you are using the leaf this is a highly processed sugar substitute that has not been thoroughly evaluated. Maybe you could Promote the use of natural local Honey as a sugar substitute? The benefits of Honey range from allergy treatment to antibiotic properties not to mention an increase in positive feelings and it is better for our environment (keeps the bees working hard). Thanks
Hi Christian,
Thanks for the note. Stevia is one of those “still undecided” things. Sure, it’s processed. But I’m pretty sure it doesn’t cause the same detrimental effects on the brain and body as most highly processed foods.
I’m going to elaborate eon this in a dedicated post.
But until then, keep in mind that all my research has indicated 100% safety with using stevia. And it’s been a lot of research.
Stevia seems to be the magic ingredient in many of my recipes. Beyond smoothies. Last night, I made my 5-alarm chili (https://s45509.p20.sites.pressdns.com/five-alarm-chili/). And before adding a tiny bit of stevia, something was missing. After adding steiva, ALL the flavors came out. It blew my mind how good it was (it had been a while).
I’m all about honey. It’s in many of my recipes. But, what should I use instead of stevia that has the power to enhance all the flavors in my food without adding calories?
