What’s your favorite healthy whatever? What kinds of healthy whatevers would you like to see on the next healthy Basics?
Brown rice recipe please! Staple carb for lots of healthier eating
could you do asian rice bowls?
Healthy dishes made from pantry staples
Anything genuine. Stop the sad plan B -versions. They cause depression.
Hey babish, you think you can do some foods from the anime danmachi, also known as, “ is it wrong to try and pick up girls in a dungeon” the second season of the anime is coming july, I thought it would be nice to give it a special, you don’t have to if you don’t wanna, but it would be awesome if you did, thanks
As a chef. I love these meals and love the fact you never lose creativity. Keep them up
Awesome vid, but why did you add even more oil to the turkey bacon? I don't have much knowledge with turkey bacon since I use pork, so does it have less fat than regular bacon?
More healthy meals!!
This guy is a simple boob. He seems to equate fow fat with healthful. I guess he hasn't kept up with medical science.
looks so depressing
I watch this as I eat a brownie
*BROTHER!* MAY I HAVE SOME OATHS???? PLS!
that tomato looked pretty thicc
You use a lot of plastic wrap in your videos. Any recommendations on more sustainable alternatives that would provide the same airtight seal? Thanks!
“Express your pain and strength through dance” why did that speak to me?
Try adding lemon juice and nutritional yeast to your cashew cream for savory recipes :)
"Is it as good a real BLT? Of Course not!" I've never said this to any Chef on YT, but Babish, I trust you.
Screw brownies and whiskey, I want brownies WITH whiskey!!!
I remember the first time watching this but I always wondered how long can you keep this in the fridge or out and how many carbs are in and when you make the cashew cream
Watching this makes me mad
Eat a big fat carrot you jokers
Me: What do hipsters eat?
Babish: Allow me to demonstrate
Loving all this! And 1600 calories total isn't much at all really so there's always space for a sweet treat or 2 depending on calorie allowance!
Noooooo !! Not apples in chicken salad!!😬😔🙄
Love the healthy meal ideas. Would love more of these as you continue on the health journey. Always looking for ways to make the basic lean protein and veggies less...meh... wondering about your feelings about turkey bacon. I mean clearly you eat it, but is there a brand that doesn’t have all the added crap?
Hey @babish, how long does the cashew cream last? Do you need to refrigerate it after making it?
I’d love a round two of these
Yes sir! Healthy Basics is great.. Loaded flavor without loaded love handles will forever be a great one-two punch in the kitchen.
Basics with babish: Making 18 euro mayo from cashews
We made the cashew cream and I used it as a mayo replacement. I mixed in some of the Everything but the Bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s and it was pretty dang good! 😋
This seems too complicated, I like my good 'ole dry chicken with flavourless rice!
poached chicken is the whitest thing ive ever heard of
can we get healthy recipes that are vegetarian?? 💞
More healthy basics videos please! And please make a playlist of existing videos that are more healthy too?
More healthy recipes!!!
Thank u love u
Your videos are making me question my choice in career.
Some great weeknight dinner ideas in this video. thanks
For people who don’t want to or can’t use cashew cream, you could just use yogurt, and light sour cream for the savoury dishes (if you find it weird to put yogurt on your sandwich)
No one:
Me at 3 am with my meat: 2:50
I would love too see more healthy meals. With my diet/lifestyle change I’m not eating any grains or dairy and not a lot off meat. Mostly veggies and I fish and eggs so it’s been difficult. If you have some ideas that would be great.
Grande Babish!
I would very much like you to make more of these "healthy" meals
Definitely trying the chicken salad one for my grandmother, she loves this local stores tub of it they sell, but she says the chicken pieces are too big for her most time and its like $10 for the smallest size they have. Hopefully she will like this one, of course with a few tweaks with more fruits and veggies she likes.
*cries in cashew allergy*
Please make more healthy basics :D
Could you do an ‘allergy episode’ where you show ways to make food similar to things some people are allergic to (e.g. alternatives to cashew cream, peanut butter foods, etc)
I was thinking this is going to be good but the first thing he takes is nuts the only thing im allergic to
`Cut out as much sugar as you can`
*adds 4 different pure sugar fruits*
Oh my gosh!! I totally love you (your content too) !! I mean Love your your v/o, I mean you’re a chef, a fantastic content creator plus got the best sense of humour!! Thank you for making my day!
More healthy stuff dude! Those blts are legendary
