Made a half batch of your turmeric granola, subbing in 1 cup of quinoa flakes for 1 cup of the oats. This worked nicely, and I will do it that way again. Used dark raisins and omitted the coconut flakes. Amazed you can make a delicious granola without oil and not much sweetener compared to most granola recipes. This one will make it into my granola rotation.
Your detox goji berry granola in your book, California Vegan, is now my favorite. I leave out the chamomile and add plant milk instead. Also like your snow pea udon salad in the book. I added 1/2 cup aduki beans per serving, for protein. I subbed in buckwheat soba noodles and the texture of it wasn’t right for the salad. I’ll try udon or high protein spaghetti noodles next time. Thanks for the terrific recipes!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed these recipes!
