What’s chlorella powder?
Hi, MrsStan. Chlorella powder is dried nutrient-rich seaweed. You can read more about it here: https://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/detail/589670_Naturya_Organic_Chlorella_Powder_200g.html.
Can it be frozen? 8 servings would be too much, even half would be four.thanks
Hi, Networking. Yes, this recipe can be frozen, as well as minimized – see our guide here: http://www.trimdownclub.com/reducing-the-size-of-recipes.
can I use chicken instead of tofu?
Hi, Nbaio. Absolutely. We recommend organic pastured, if you can get it. Sources include Whole Foods Market or http://www.eatwild.com/products/connecticut.html.
Dear Ossie-Sharon, I would like to let you know that this recipe is absolutely wonderful!!!!
I invited friends and made it. For desert I chose the little pancakes which I made served with blueberries and a mixture of fruits such as strawberries, mango, papaya and 1 banana. All cut and with Yacon sirup.
I LOST 800g that evening!!! WOW!!!
That’s wonderful, Patricia!! 🙂
What is stevia , I’ve never heard of it .!!!
Hi, Diane. Stevia is a natural herb that was discovered to be many times sweeter than sugar, and has been used to make low-carb sweeteners.
Can I use quorn pieces instead of tofu
Hi, Tuppence. Yes.
Hi Ossis-Sharon, this wonderful Curry vegetable, can I have some sweet potatoes with it? Or Basmati rice? Or some other low carb?
Thx for answering.
Patricia
Hi, Patricia. Sweet potatoes or Basmati rice (especially if brown) are wonderful choices (each ⅓ cup = 1 carb exchange), as would be whole grain naan bread (each ounce = 1 carb exchange).
Sorry about not answering soon enough. Thank you so much for your counseling!
Hi, Ruby. You got it! Unless liquid is specified, it is intended to be granules/powder.
Is the stevia in these recipes liquid(1/4 tsp.)or granules? I’ve been using granules.
