How good is a food processor for cutting things like veggies and onions? Which one would you reccomend?
Love it for that, it's main purpose is to cut up veggies for lunch casseroles. I like Cuisinart ones, I actually have two (one is pretty much just for parties). Get one with a blade attachedment with different cut types. A slicing blade that lets you change the depth is best case.
Just ordered the dehydrator. Send me any and all recipes! Or is it just as simple as slicing the fruit and putting it in the drawers?.
Basically. Start with banana chips. Super easy and can be cut with a butter knife. About an eigth of an inch thick each. Don't use mat, only white mesh that is standard on tray (almost never use mat) and leave a little space between each(not touching). Run then for a day on 3/4ths heat, cool 30 mins before removing. Adding some cayenne pepper for fun if you want. Overipe bananas work best if you can not overdo it.
If you like potato chips take some kale and smother some BBQ sauce on it. Run those at half heat for 12 hours and full heat for another 10 or less depending on humidity and how wet you got the kale. It's done when it's crispy, no cool down. Pineapple chips are also fun, same trick as bananas except different knife. Makes your tongue feel crazy after a few.
If you have a nice blender blend some fruit and pour it on a mat. Make sure some of the fruit is berries, and make it even like sauce on a pizza. Do it high heat for a day and sit for an hour and your have to die for fruit roll ups.
Advanced drying pretty much needs a food processor or mandolin to get things thin enough. Apples are good at 3-4mm, leave speace between slices and run at max for 24 hours cool for 30 mins and add cinnamon. Your family will fight for those I use that as Xmas presents. 3/4th heat same amount of time makes a healthier less crunchy version. Apples that aren't sweet are better, I like galas.
My all-time favorite is bosque pears cut 2 mm thin stacked on each other three layers thick in a different pattern each layer. Run at 60% heat for 36 hours and let cool for an hour than put in the fridge overnight. Makes a pear sheet that can be put on other desserts like ice cream to make you super fancy.
Overall it's a great way to get junk food out of your life.
What do you typically juice? I've honestly never heard of veggies/fruits that increase testosterone.
I juice a lot of stuff in different mixes. Chards, kale (3 kinds), spinach, beets, celery, collard, ginger, cucumber (most important), sweet potato, arugula, cilantro, romaine, turmeric, and probably something else I can't think of. Sometimes I mix a little organic premade juice in for taste (like Apple or orange) or salt or pepper even, sometimes not.
None of it has testosterone in it, but drinking a juice every day where each juice was half a laundry basket of raw greens boosted my natural testosterone production though the roof. I think all the iron in the beets helped me the most personally, you can actually overdo it on those and hurt yourself.
I love the Vitamix but green juice is easily the best health food thing I have ever done. They are disgusting sometimes (some are great) but I literally feel years younger. Some companies like Suja make decent ones you can buy. The trick is if either of the first two ingredients in the list are fruit don't buy it it's sugar water.
