Healthier Versions of Unhealthy Foods | Basics with Babish

More healthy recipes! I heard you loud and clear. This time on Basics, I'm taking a look at the very popular, very versatile cauliflower.

Latest episode of Being with Babish!

My playlist of preferred cooking tunes, Bangers with Babish!

So you guys mighta noticed that I renamed this episode "Healthier Versions of Unhealthy Foods" - I wanted to make it clearer that these aren't diet foods or things you should necessarily eat every day, they're lower-calorie, lower-carb, higher-fiber versions of unhealthy foods. They're still very high in fat, so there's a trade-off, but they hopefully give you guys ideas of how to scratch the junk-food-itch when you're trying to eat well!

My father can’t eat rice anymore (due to health concerns), so I’m going to start using cauliflower for a better substitute. He will surely appreciate having a great not-rice with beef stir-fry. It will also help for stuffed bell peppers. Thank you for showing how to properly cook the cauliflower and for explaining the process so well!

I'd never use pre-shredded, that's horrible!

Since Thanksgiving is about a banquet of food, make the Dinner Banquet from Shrek 2:
Turkey
Lobster
Fondue
Banana
Crackers
Walnuts
Grey Fish
Roast Pig

After baking my cauliflower crust at 400, until it’s golden brown, I usually flip it over so both sides get crispy that way it’s not so bendy

Finally, I can enjoy my marinara smoothies on the go.

So after you posted your original “healthy meals” and your “training like Kratos” videos I decided to make a change in my life. I switched my diet around, I started biking everyday morning and afternoon, and started to drink water like I had an addiction. And it worked after a month of excruciating cravings, I succeeded. I went from 211 pounds to 185, the skinniest I have been in years. This is because of you. Your videos helped me push through my cloudy head about changing myself. I’m not done with my dieting I still have a little more to go. But thank you for putting me on the right path of a healthy life.

Rice: You took *everything* from me.

Cauliflower: *I don't even know who you are.*

[wibble]

Babish: healthy meals
Me: yay
Babish everything has cauliflower
Me with a cauliflower allergy: oh

[SaltyShyster]

Andrew: “We are not using pre-shredded”
*looks at last week’s basics episode*

This video made me realize how much my mom spoiled me while also teaching me how to be healthy. Knowing how to work your veggies into delicious meals is an artform. cheers mate.

Made Buffalo cauliflower "wings" a few weeks ago when I had a vegan friend over for game day and I can really recommend them.
I hated cauliflower as a kid but I guess that was more because of the cooking skills of my parents.
Even though nutribullet sponsored this video I have found that nutribullet and kitchenaid mixers really do live up to their price tags.

[ValhallaXYZ]

“A quick shoutout to our sponsor, Big Cauliflower.”

After that espresso ad, I can't go back to regular ads like this nutribullet ad.
