haven't already and let's get into it as has become habit i'm using my mocha pot with decaf
and it is beautiful as always i really wish you could smell this but since it's already 70 degrees
outside which doesn't sound that warm but for me it is and i'm scared for midday without ac
let's get some ice and frozen soy milk then add a few drops of this liquid english toffee stevia
and pour over the coffee a little stir and it's just heavenly i highly recommend you make this
yourself and the heart-shaped ice totally makes it taste like you're taking care of yourself
and speaking of taking care of yourself today's video is very kindly sponsored by
seed if you are already familiar with seed Daily Synbiotic make sure you go down into

but if you're unfamiliar let me introduce you to your new best friend, ds-01 daily synbiotic which is
not for cats (sorry Chester) it is for humans. i have the ones for human adults they also make a version
for kids but um yeah it is made to support digestive health as you might expect from a
probiotic but actually it is formulated with 24 clinically and scientifically studied broad
spectrum strains to support systemic health so think good digestion supporting your gut
barrier integrity gut immune function as well as heart health micronutrient synthesis
and skin health which you know i very much appreciate that this broad range is quite
unique in my experience but what's particularly cool is that this is a capsule within a capsule
so on the outer layer there is a non-fermenting prebiotic that protects the probiotic within so it
will survive the stomach acid survive digestion and land where it's supposed to to do its job
speaking of landing somewhere to do your job i'm flying to vancouver soon and i'm going to be
taking this travel vial that it comes with it's this glass travel vial and you can put up to a
week's worth of daily symbiotic in it and i love how they just thoughtfully include this making
that healthy habit convenient and easy and you know how i love that convenient and easy aspect as
much as i love seeds commitment to science and an effective product i also really like these little
touches: the glass vial, the fact that your first order comes in a glass jar, the fact that when
you subscribe and you get your refill it comes in a home compostable biofilm how cool is that
state not only cares about human health but they care about the environment too so if you
care about these things as well you got to click the link down in my description box use the code

tab i'll let you know ahead of time that they are free from common allergens so there's no dairy
no soy no gluten no peanuts no animal products you know we just don't do the animal products here on
mary's test kitchen and while this next thing i'm working on usually requires animal products
you know we never do that here i'm testing a keto version of my classic croissants which is
going somewhat well but i feel i've been using the wrong vegan butter what's happening is i decided
that i'm going to try the vegan Bacel because it's just so widely available and affordable
but the texture is just way too soft even when it's super cold so you know hopes are not high
but i shall stay the course and see it through you'll see the results later these need to rise
and i need breakfast at around noon apparently so brunch then will you join me for some salad
or shall i make yours a sandwich trust me it's gonna be good and if you're hungry now don't
worry it's gonna be super fast to make start with grating some pressed or smoked tofu yes
i did give in and bought some after the prices you know i showed you last week but at least i
did find it a little less inflated at $4.50 a pack i'll just have to save my money in other ways
how about you are you changing your shopping habits because of how things are right now
let me know in the comments below anyways grated tofu makes such a great crab alternative
and i want to add a couple fresh things celery red pepper and onion then a few seasonings
of course creamy plant-based mayo this is my favorite right now it's super thick and the
flavor makes me think of a cross between classic mayonnaise salad dressing or miracle whip anyways
this is like very convincing very crab salad-like without adding any nori or vegan fish sauce or
anything like that at least to me so you try it and let me know what you think the
printable recipe is as always linked down below for myself i'm having the salad on another salad
then for my boyfriend he will get a proper sandwich which would you have let me know in
the comments below i just love this easy high protein lunch breakfast lunch brunch you could
stick it in a wrap and it makes a perfect picnic food too speaking of picnic stuff i used to always
make this strawberry infused drink but it's been years i don't know why because it's super simple
but so good cold brew strawberry black tea you just take a few strawberries fragrant and juicy
in season is best of course squish them a little bit before dropping them in your container add
a little bit of lemon juice and follow with a couple black tea bags or loose leaf if you like
then top it off with water it's that simple you'll just leave this in the fridge for a day or two
and then the cold water slowly extracts the black tea flavor and the strawberry fragrance
the lemon is not very detectable but i find the strawberry is more pronounced when the lemon
is there than when it's without you could of course make this sweet but i prefer without kind
of like you know those bubly's but without the bubbly it's super refreshing which is important
if you're baking croissants on the warmest day that you've had in a while i don't know what it
is about hot humid weather that really compels me to bake things that don't really do well in hot
humid weather but here we are the croissants have not risen much at all but it is time
i applied some melted vegan Becel to half of them and baked until they seemed like they
pretty much well like this and they do look better than i thought they would to be honest
but inside look how ugly that is it is just tragic looking but we do have to taste it and in fact
the outer layers do taste like a croissant i am actually astounded the inner layers though i was
afraid that this might be goopy and not like fully cooked or something but it is fully cooked even
though it's kind of stretchy and weird the thing is it tastes almost more like seitan slices like i
think with a few tweaks i could imagine a new kind of pastry like a two-in-one sausage pastry thing
like a croissant with a built-in deli meat center or at least like a new way to make deli slices or
vegan chicken or vegan jerky what do you think are you with me or am i out to lunch speaking of lunch
we kind of skip to dinner with these TMRW foods burgers they are a brand out of vancouver
and sorry they are only in canada i think for now but if you're lucky enough to be in canada like me
they are shipping across the country they are made with pea protein and generally good ingredients
and i like them even more than beyond i'm going to flatten them out because my buns are a bit
wider than this and add a little seasoning my go-to burger seasoning right now is made of salt
onion garlic powder korean red pepper powder and black pepper i am a little embarrassed
to admit that it's july and i still haven't cleaned my grill from last season so i took
my induction stovetop outside with a cast iron pan so you gotta oil the pan and oil the burgers
because while i live dangerously i don't want to be in danger of my burger sticking
and when things are smoking hot place them burgers they only need a few minutes on each side
these sides haven't gotten the seasoning yet so let's make sure they don't feel left up
beautiful
i almost forgot bf prefers a cheeseburger i on the other hand overdid it on the vegan
cheese recently and now i just can't stand it i'm sure like if i don't have it for a
while i will start to like it again right is anybody else like that or just me anyways after
this is toasted it's time to assemble during burger season i always like to
keep the main fillings in a little containy like this my burger caddy
then we have one for him and this one is for me the trick to lettuce wrap burgers is layering
properly the rigid stems go in the middle then the burger on the bottom so it doesn't slip and slide
then the sauces and everything else fold the bottom leaf over first
and then it's all snug and cozy so delicious and summery whether you choose the toasted bun
or the lettuce wrap that's my opinion anyways i know some of you want to fight me on the lettuce
wrap but you know i gotta do what i do for my pain management let us not think about pain
but only think about summer and you know what else is summer these strawberries from earlier i
have to use them up i have no choice in the matter so the obvious solution is strawberry cream buns
right and i have a very easy way of making them so you want to stay tuned i came across this
somewhat new silk whipping cream on sale so why not try it together the two of us
it took only a few minutes to whip into this glorious perfection my friends i may never make
my own coconut whip from scratch again i just i just have to admit this is a superior product
while i'm still very shocked i did remember to add a little wee bit of vanilla extract
and my favorite locanto monk fruit and erythritol sweetener feel free to use regular sugar if
you want and whip that in would you look at that amazing refrain from just eating this with a spoon
because we gotta take care of these strawberries
fold the chopped ones into some of that whipped cream
and just set it aside another easy hack for making cream buns is just use store-bought buns you can
use any soft bun you like like a white burger bun would be fine something soft and squishy
this one is from my local save on foods and it's high protein and low carb if you can
believe it but if you don't need to keep things low carb for health reasons like me
might i suggest my vegan milk bread recipe whatever you use take some of the fluff out
to make room for whipped fluff don't be stingy now and then place your prettiest sliced berries
for a finishing touch i'm dusting with some powdered swerve feel free to use icing sugar
and this has got to be one of the most epic ways to end a summer day if you can only try
one recipe from today please let it be this one you will not regret it and that was my
summery food day how was yours as always i am nosy and want to know in the comments below
