Just because you can't pronounce an ingredient name doesn't mean it's unhealthy- it just means you can't read.

Coconut flour is not always a good substitute for regular flour. If you're making pancakes, flaxmeal is better. For breads try almond flour
theseventhateightnine
These are hardly food replacement "hacks" these are shitty alternatives to otherwise awesome foods and condiments.
Lastdarkninja
I mean these would be only good for simple things at best....shitty alternatives though
KittenWizard
A few things: REAL mayo has no sugar, and is easy to make from scratch. You CANNOT sub 1:1 coconut flour for anything, be careful!

Oh no no no. Not Stevia. I'm not falling for that one.

If you're baking and replace key ingredients, you're gonna have a bad time.

StrawberryPrincess92
cooking is art, baking is science
Braindeadbetty
Not if you know how to bake. Like how you can use Apple sauce or banana as replacement for eggs.
ninjaguava
Can you make meatloaf with chia seeds instead of bread crumbs? I feel a sense of doubt AND I PUT CHIA IN EVERYTHING!
tiam1985
Yeah, if you have a recipe that asks for all purpose flour and you use coconut instead, it's not going to turn out right.
nattilee
The flour is a bad idea, but the coconut oil will be fine
dontblinkdontevenblinkblinkandyourdead
You need a certain ratio of coconut flour:starch:xantham gum.
Werekat
I was thinking that when I saw the coconut flour one!
mistyah
Also, you cannot replace chia seeds for bread crumbs. Some baked chicken rolled in chia seeds...yeah.
dontblinkdontevenblinkblinkandyourdead
Well, no. You can replace key ingredients. I do it all the time; you just have to know which replacements work best in each baked good.
Granolaclusters
Also, everything you make with coconut flour is going to taste like coconut, which gets tiresome after a bit. Just ask Tom Hanks!
avyon
Husband cooks with coconut oil and it changes the taste so much drives me CRAZY! I know its healthier but I can't stand it :(
ericavee
If there's a flavor it's probably cold-pressed extra virgin. Ask him to get refined next time; there's not taste. most brands sell both.
avyon
Thank you!
ermahgerdawoman
Coconut flour recipes are not even close to wheat flour recipes. They use a tiny bit of coconut flour and a ton of eggs.
OneWickedJig
Baking is chemistry, you can't just trust some idiot on the internet to change one of the primary ingredients in that chemistry.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
I was taught how to bake by a German lady who had lived through WW2 and had to ration...she didn't DO substitutes. Mo butter, mo betta
LadyWidebottom
I don't substitute unless I am doing something impromptu and don't have the right stuff (rarely). I would never substitute butter.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY-MEN!
PamelaSplooshPoovey
I was at Whole Foods and saw "vegan buttery sticks" and I nearly gagged
LadyWidebottom
I don't even want to know what goes into those. Vegan bacon is awful enough.
PamelaSplooshPoovey
How dare they even call it "bacon"...
Chemandcake
Depends on what you replace. I've used coconut oil in place of shortening/oil with success.
avyon
I've finally learned about heat indexes on oils and now buy based on what im cooking. Frying I go with higher indexes = less burny smell lol
rebeccaisafish
Coconut oil is just oil though...
Chemandcake
It can replace either, though I'd be wary of using it in cakes calling for "creaming" butter + sugar together.
OneWickedJig
Right? People talk about all the benefits, and it's amazing how many of them could be don with any food-based oil.
ericavee
well, coconut oil has structural properties that are sort of similar to butter, so it has its pastry applications. (i'm team butter though)

I use chia seeds a fair bit, but would never replace bread crumbs with them. They are an entirely different texture.

tanmanX
The cheapest i ever find them is $10 something a pound at Krogers.
CoconutCyclone
I buy that shit in like 5 pound bags now. I eat it daily as breakfast. I would stab a bitch for using them instead of breadcrumbs though.
kneadme
I love chia so much. Chia as breadcrumbs is a waste of some good chia.
tanmanX
Where do you get those, I've never seen them sold more than 1 lb at a time.
CoconutCyclone
http://nuts.com is where I buy all of that kind of shit. Super good quality and cheaper than I can find it anywhere local.
tanmanX
I was wondering why I didn't see that when i bought 25lbs of almonds about 9 months ago. It was because I bought them from a different site.
CoconutCyclone
I've only ever had a bad order from them once and they immediately sent me a new container, no questions asked.
CoconutCyclone
I should get advertisement money from them because you are like the 300th person I've told about them.

Why not just unprocessed peanut butter?

Peanuts are a legume not a nut and so their lectin can provoke systemic inflamation....http://whole9life.com/2012/09/the-legume-manifesto/

Almonds are better for you than peanuts are. However an unprocessed peanut butter is better for you than super processed almond butter.
Granolaclusters
So... just peanuts? That sounds kind of hard to spread *laughes dad-ily in my armchair*
hailthefish
Because regular unprocessed peanut butter isn't part of the approved yoga-yuppy granola-and-patchouli lifestyle.
Firexia
Interestingly enough, I hate processed peanut butter. I was raised on the unprocessed variety, so that's what I'm used to.
harbenger
Honestly because peanuts are technically a nut, as almonds are
ThatIsHowIFoundIt
Because the oil separates and it's like work n stuff to mix it:)
janedrew
Oh, but one of the other life hack posts said to store those jars upside down so the oil stays at the bottom. Works like a charm.

On top of that, peanuts are legumes. Something that humans haven't come to digest properly as of yet.

I tried a sample of almond butter, I think the brand was Justin's, and found it surprisingly good. Maybe it varies with brands?
AjEmEPoliszBojfrend
I think it depends on how much you like almonds. I don't like em too much, so almond butter is just disgusting to me.

Well I guess not really liking almonds would be a good reason for not liking almond butter.
MRBEEFCAKE
Perhaps. I may give it another chance if I come across some again.

Mayo and mustard don't do the same thing. Stevia is the worst thing ever.
tonchandailvert

stupidsexyhobbitses
Phtevia.
kuraianubis
depends on the Stevia, also you can buy or make your own half/half of stevia/sugar which i do. Less stevia taste, less sugar/calories.
AbelhaDeus
This is the best. I understand that people avoid the flavour of stevia, but using it in 50/50 with sweetener is pretty good for most stuff!
CoolHandRK
Dunkin Donuts put Splenda, or Stevia, one of those, in my cofee instead of real sugar once. It was instantly noticeable and I threw it out.
MatchesTMalone
I wish I read this comment before I tried Stevia...just thinking about it.
kuraianubis
Also the proper replacement for mayo is avocados.

Now this I can agree with. When properly mashed the consistancy is similar, as is the flavor profile.

How does Stevia taste? Does it taste like sugar?
piggypiglet
I can get pure stuff here in Asia, it's good but a bit too sweet & some aftertaste. Best choice is Xylitol, which actually protects teeth!
AbelhaDeus
It is quite different from everything else, but i's good for health. I found that some "mix" sweeteners (stevia + sacarin) taste good enough
Batonrougeisnotsobad
It's the after-taste I don't like. I will use any sweetener - real or artificial - except for Stevia.
LDedlock
Yep, I second the ass comment. Awful, bitter stuff. Ick.
Kvit0st
It taste sweet as fuck. Therefore, use small amounts. Its great in tea, coffee and baking. =)
crabcore
If you eat the actual leaves of a Stevia plant they taste sweet, but Stevia extract tastes like ass.
avyon
If you need to do an alterntive to sugar I recommend Truvia. It didn't give me an aftertaste like all the others. Though you have to be (1)
avyon
to sugar takes time to get used to though. nothing really tastes like the real thing :/ (3)
avyon
careful since its super sweet. I used to put 3 spoonfulls of sugar in my coffee now I use one little packet of truvia. Any alternative (2)
ambermae513
Horrible! Grabbed stevia packets instead of sugar packets to make lemon drops... worst. shots. ever!
Efreeti
I found it tasted slightly leafy, but super sweet, not bad tasting at all. I'd love to be able to use stevia only but I can't get it.
TheDaedricPrinceofDouchebaggery
The thing about Stevia is that it's several tens to hundreds of times sweeter than sugar, so we perceive it as bitter. Use in moderation. :)
ZebraStripedRose
It's very sweet and works better with some food/drinks than others. I like it in tea, but not coffee.
CatsPreferBlondes
In my experience, its tastes just like sugar, I use it in tea.
InnerOwlet
I love stevia, but it depends on the brand you buy. I like Better Stevia from NOW, especially in sweet tea. I'm not a health nut btw

no. it tastes like ass. avoid like the plague.

Is it as bad or worse than Splenda? I hate that stuff with a passion.

Splenda tastes kinda less bad, which takes some work. Probably worse for you, though.
bananabiscuit
I can taste Splenda even in trace amounts, so I probably will have the same issue with Stevia. Thanks for the info!

I've heard worse about stevia than I have about natural sugar...
Ambroos
* Breaking Bad is not a good way to learn about food.
Anononononon
WHO has seen a link between stevia and in vitro birth defects, steviol anyway. Which is one of the active sweetners...
Ambroos
Oh OK. Well, sugar isn't bad, you just shouldn't overdo it. Which is the case with everything pretty much. 'Alternatives' are overrated.
Anononononon
exactly.
HorseMeatHeaven
What have you heard? I'm thinking about cutting back on sugar and stevia seems like a good alternative. Although so does xylitol.
kuraianubis
research it, not hard to do. Stevia has a different flavor, is sweeter, and its lack of raising your sugar levels can mess with you.
kuraianubis
so basically, in moderation, or mix it half/half with sugar to cut back your calories but not all sugars.
EEgirl
increasing the risk of diabetes when overused. (2/2)
gettingrealtiredofyourshitmrfrodo
Stevia is only a good alternative to sugar if you don't heat the stevia. I've used it in cakes and it turned out really bitter.
HorseMeatHeaven
Ah, good to know, I don't think I've actually even seen it sold in grain-form, just as sweetener capsule-thingies.
EEgirl
Personally, stevia tastes terrible. And some studies indicate your body reacts similarly to real sugar and articial sweeteners, (1/2)
juedeas
Xylitol gives you all the poops.

There's no such thing as 450% less. You can only have 100% less.
airandfingers
"450% less" is obviously incorrect.. Maybe OP meant "4.5x less", like in bread crumbs vs chia seeds.. Makes a little bit more sense.
TheDoctorAzAJ
Thankyou. I knew someone else would feel the same way. Maths people, are you even trying?
PeteAndPetersenGraph
Also "9 times less saturated fat and 1/3 fewer calories". Shouldn't those two things have opposite meanings?
hngfbvf
No. 1/3 fewer is 1/3 of the original number less than the number, and 9 times less is 9^(-1) times the number, or 1/9th of it.
ElasticDeMan
I hated all of those.....
hngfbvf
450% is just a fancy way of saying 4.5 times, and "times less" means "divided by".
SkypeOfCthulhu
In my experience, 6 out of 5 people talking about nutritional values are blithering idiots.

Maybe you lose 3.5 times the amount of protein in greek yoghurt from your body by eating sour cream.
n0v4
This still makes no sense.
Zeropointzero
YES. Good god, thank you. Oh, it has 10g of protein per serving? Then 10g x 450%... 45g less protein... Sour cream has -35g of protein!

Imagine what they could do with negative calories!

"Natural"? Sugar is made from sugar cane and sugar beet

Also, Uranium is pretty natural.

Just make sure no one replaces the Stevia.
Frankinbeijing
white sugar is about as natural as white bread and white rice
Keydan
That sounded racist...
NatKingCobra
And stevia tastes like Satan's ringpiece
fitlex
Yeah, I was disappointed. Ironically it tastes the most artifical of all the sweeteners. I'm cool with 'evil' Ace-K and Aspartame.
Wellthatisironic
Ooo I know! Big companies use the word "natural" for marketing purposes to make people think they are buying a better product when really it
Wellthatisironic
Is the same, possibly worse. "natural" isn't governed by the USDA or FDA like the word "Organic" which has strict label guidelines

Yeah, I hate when people use "natural" or "unnatural" like they mean "good" and "evil". The world's more complicated than that.
TheFlyingHellfish
In the US, "all natural" is an unregulated term. Manufacturers can put it on anything. Reader's Digest, ftw.
iamgrr
Lol. Reader's Digest.
HeyPretty1
I hate the word "Organic". Do you know what organic means to a chemist? It means it has Carbon in it. Everything we eat has Carbon in it!
Anononononon
After all Arsenic is an element so is as pure as you can get, and you shouldn't be eating it.
TheGingerBeardedBiologist
The natural fallacy really bums me out.

Sugar is also processed a bunch :) this makes it less healthy for you!

Not really.

Processing stuff doesn't make it less healthy.

chbarts
I was talking in general, not just about sugar.
diepvries
As in: a lot of sugar isn't good and stevia gives you the same taste without being not good (I think...)
FlamboyantTitans
No it doesn't. Once I bought a root-beer with stevia in it (I didn't notice the label), it tasted like crap.
Anononononon
Except Stevia has been shown to cause birth defects in vitro (not in vivo...but I forget the difference, and too lazy to click links.)
LDedlock
Stevia does not take like sugar to me, either. I wish it did. It tastes like bitter with a side of bitter with a bitter aftertaste.
PikovayaDama
Just use brown sugar... artificial sweeteners are awful for youse.
Thornaxe
Theres also some early indications that some people don't process stevia well, causing liver damage
Misformanatee
Stevia doesn't spike your blood sugar levels like sugar does, so it won't increase your chances of developing diabetes.
Nicolexo77
Almost tasts the same, more bitter but you get used to it and learn to love it
Kaislikethewind
Stevia to me tastes awful. All artificial sweeteners to me taste alkaline and not sweet at all.
lychstar
Stevia is not artificial though; it's a plant.
Kaislikethewind
I know Stevia isn't, but I can't handle aspartame either, unless it is sugar it tastes awful to me.
Keydan
It's ok for me but I always get this strong acidy taste in my mouth that I do not like. So i just thought myself to use less sugar.
Kaislikethewind
Yeah, I've started using cane sugar that is less processed than white sugar and I can use less but it is just as sweet.
Keydan
Cane sugar is super expensive here, all our sugar is from beats. I mean i can buy 3 kilos of bet sugar for the price of 1 cane sugar.
cmagee79
These aren't 'hacks'. It's called eating healthy. It's like discovering that walking burns more calories than sitting down.

i don't know what kind of tea you're drinking, but Chai tea tastes awesome and nothing beats a good moroccan mixture

It might be how its been brewed. I used to hate tea because I thought it tasted mouldy like old people. Now I've found teas I like.

I just don't like tea.
Shoura
Bagged tea and boiling water? That only makes horrible liquid not worthy the name. Try spiced ones with correct temperature and time.

Steeped it too long, most likely. If it was green tea and you used boiling water you'll get a bitter flavor.

Fresh coconut water is awesome, but the canned variety is just awful.

Really? I honestly think they taste almost identical!

Question: how much more expensive are the replacements?
IronsideSam
some of them are horrendously more expensive. They also go bad MUCH faster than the other items. Many can't be found in wal-mart

Yah. I wrote now I need a payment replacement "hack". pfehh
korvazor
as someone who works in a grocery store: very. Except mustard.... mustard is pretty cheap.

I would love to try that! I can't get enough almond milk and it would be great to make it organic and without agave
scaredplatypus
Yeah though cow's milk is only cheap because it's subsidized out the ass
ARedShell
With much less protein. If I were making a hacked picture nonsense, I'd say something along the lines of 8 times less protein than cow milk.
theroguex
In terms of monetary cost or social cost? Because the quinoa fad has straight up destroyed cultures.
feyrband
explain? i've personally never bought it costs it costs like 4x as much as brown rice
theroguex
Simple: It was a staple crop. Now it's a 'fad' crop. The countries that used to eat it as a staple can no longer afford it.
feyrband
i take it they all export it for more profit now? sounds like most crops in america after the ethanol subsidies nonsense but worse
theroguex
Yeah. It's like what's happening in Africa, where American companies buy up huge amounts of farmland for monoculture farming then (1/2)
theroguex
I do suppose that 'destroyed cultures' may have been a little hyperbolic, but it has hurt lots of poor in these countries...
thatwilldopig
In northern CO: 1/2 gal milk = $1.99, 1/2 gal almond milk = $3.50. $.99/lb for rice, $2.50/lb quinoa. Water/tea/mustard are cheaper.
somepeoplelikeme
Dang that really sucks!! Almond milk in MN is about $2.50 I think!
thatwilldopig
I can usually find it on sale for $3 at one of the stores in town. I just stock up when I can.
somepeoplelikeme
That's the way to do it ha! I just prefer almond milk so I'm willing to spend the extra $ for it :) plus it doesn't give me stomach aches!
thatwilldopig
I don't use much milk period, so it doesn't cost me much. I prefer almond milk for my coffee.
iwanttobeapenguin
For me almond milk ends up cheaper because even super pasteurized milk goes bad on me, so I throw some away. Almond milk lasts forever.
kmcj22
Actually it doesn't :S. Only 7-14 days after opening it I believe. Depending on the brand and processing.
iwanttobeapenguin
Psh. I drink it WAY longer than that. Like a month. In all seriousness, estimates are usually conservative for food.
kissmygrits
in NYC 1/2 GAL almond milk is $1.49, way cheaper than regular milk here

Wow! I'd buy it way more often if it were that cheap here.

PastaIsLife

Pornegranate
But doesn't mustard have a lot of salt?
bananabiscuit
I thought so, I know athletes that use it to help with cramps
Flinkle
They do, but it's not the salt that does it. In fact, researchers don't even really KNOW why it works. Weird.
KyleBeach
it kinda is, salt and potassium levels have to be in balance to prevent cramping through a long drawn out process. Too little sodium and you
KyleBeach
will cramp faster than if you have low potassium. Had the problem all through football in HS so it was a couple salt pills before and after
MutterVonKatzen
seriously...I can't use mustard to make my manly sammiches!! ONLY MAYO WILL DO!
anitabieror6
yeah pretty sure mayo doesnt have sugar in it either

I'm just confused by the 'Mayo has sugar' thing. Mayo is oil, egg, and vinegar (and maybe some mustard to help hold the emulsion).

I use the Kraft Mayo with olive oil. Tastes the same and has a ton less fat and calories in it.

in all honesty i use avocado instead of mayo, but its still not the same
LurkersGottaLurk
Mayo and Avocado are both slimier in use when it comes to sandwich spreads. But you wouldn't use avocado in deviled eggs (unless you would)
HaiHearer
If you like avocados, google a recipe for avocado egg salad. It's really good! I just made it last week.
YouSufferWithCognitiveDissonance
+1 for using avocado
HughLaurie
I do this too, I love the taste of avocado paste way more than mayo in the first place, and it's SO MUCH HEALTHIER.

When I could eat Avocado, I'd eat it with Mayo. Yes, I dipped my Avocado slices in Mayo. (Developed some weird allergy to Avocado though.)

what about soda with tea? tea. ugh.
dogalog
You go out for a burger and think "Hmm, instead of Coke, I should get a tea!" yeah. right.
wtfeyebrows
maybe like a snapple or a brisk but im pretty sure thats like half sugar and not really what they were angling for with this post lol
dogalog
I'm pretty sure I compared sugar content in Snapple and Coke once and they were pretty close... Tea just doesn't cut it!
wtfeyebrows
I'd rather a water than tea. tea tastes like when you have a cup of kool aid and drink it and then fill the cup with water
thismademefailmyfinals
I use Crystal Light mixes to help with not drinking soda but I loooooove tea so that works too.
wtfeyebrows
I dont drink a lot of pop in the first place, but I do know that there's a huge disparity in flavor between pop and tea. crystal lite ftw
lainie
I've actually been trying to replace my nightly Pepsi with tea instead, with real honey instead of sugar. It's REALLY hard.
wtfeyebrows
I don't drink a lot of pop in the first place, but as far as substitutes go tea is a pretty shitty one

wtfeyebrows
GOD NO ITS WATERY BULLSHIT GIVE ME ALL THE HONEY YOUVE GOT ITS STILL BULLSHIT
RedroverRedrover
Steep it longer? Tea made correctly isn't "watery", except in the sense that it's a liquid.
SpoonOfDoom
The taste is very different, but I guess it works in a "it's still a drink with some flavour and not just water" way.
wtfeyebrows
desperate times, yeah.
Ozymander
And if youre making pancakes, coconut flour is terrible
SkittleBomb
Almond flour! :)
Tallise
as some1 forced to go gluten free, I can say the only way to imitate wheat flour is to combine specific amounts of multiple flours + xanthum
OhFaceYeah
Try buckwheat flour for pancakes if you want a nutritious punch.
HughLaurie
Egg protein powder and oatmeal powder is a good alternative, unless you're trying for low carb or something.

if making prankcakes, replace the flour with woodshavings, they have 5000% the fibre and no sugar.

You could try greek yogurt with a tiny amount of vinegar whisked in too.
