I feel you sister I have pre-diabetes and it's been 2 months since I switched over to plant-based food vegan and the dessert that's my favorite so I've been doing some research for vegan dessert and I like caramel so I'm going to be making that as a sneaker make a sneaker with the caramel but thank you.
Hey Charlene. Congrats on making the switch for your health and learning new ways to enjoy your favorite recipes! It's so possible to live a life without WHITE SUGAR and create desserts we love. I could see this working fabulously in a Snickers bar! Enjoy that!
@@TheMindfulPlate is dates bad for you cuz that got a lot of sugar in it too cuz most of the desserts that I make it has dates in it and honey so is that raise your diabetes up
@@charlenebutler9386 Hey Charlene! Once someone is experiencing diabetes, any sugary food including natural ones like honey, dates, fruits can trigger a spike in blood sugar. However for those who don't have diabetes it's fine. Overconsumption is where the problem generally lies. Like any food, they should be eaten in moderation. In other words, just because the chocolate cake is made from dates doesn't mean have 3 slices lol. The other helpful thing about eating naturally sweetened desserts is that they have a higher fiber content, so the dates and fruits will not spike the blood sugar the way white sugar does, because it digests slowly and is released over time thus making it more manageable. With all things, you can try it and start with a small piece and measure your blood sugar shortly after to see how your body manages it. What I do know is that there are multiple persons who have experienced diabetes and said that a plant-based diet has either eliminated it completely, reversed it or significantly reduced their diabetic symptoms. Blessings to you as you heal and eat well!
You’re so welcome. The fastest way to shift your sweet tooth is to eat more bitter! Nothing like bitter foods, roots, and teas to uproot the sweetness outta there! But in the meantime these substitutes help
Good question. In my experience this caramel keeps it’s texture pretty well. I think the ratio and proportions of Ingredients used helps with that, but if you do experience hardening, just warm it for 30 seconds and stir to return the texture.

Aren't those earrings dope! Well truth be told I got them at the African Street Festival here in Brooklyn back in 2010! It was from a random vendor there. And I've never seen anything like them since. I tend to get my jewelry from street vendors, traveling, festivals and Etsy. I love when they're unique!
@The Mindful Plate I have been watching (and sharing) your videos and you are dope...period! Your personality and style is A1! Thank you for the excellent content! New subscriber!
@@randieslight Yessssssss I appreciate alllahdis! Thanks so much for sharing too. I want everyone to come, see and taste for themselves. Cheers to giving folks good, healthy, delicious food for their well-being!
Coconut oil replaces butter. In the original way of making caramel, one would use butter and white sugar. Since this is a plant-based whole foods version, we're using coconut oil. It aids in the taste and pourable, drizzly texture of the caramel as well.
Hi am new ,I like your channel but I friendly disagree that people should eat what they think is right for them because the bible is our health manual and if we were taught to study this from childhood we could for sure avoid so many health problems. I believe you are doing a wonderful job thank you so much.
Hey Sheep Seven. Welcome to The Mindful Plate :) I appreciate your perspective and it makes sense considering the Bible is your manual. I call my channel The Mindful Plate because I believe that mindfulness is a necessary ingredient for a healthy lifestyle. I also consider that everyone doesn't think the same nor believe the same. If you're a Christian it makes sense that the Bible's dictates on health and eating would be your guide. For others it can be other doctrines or disciplines. For me I've found that plant-based eating with minimal amounts of animal/animal product is best for my body. I've also found that eating more Alkaline (Dr. Sebi guidelines) works well too. There are so many different people in the world and we all have different genetic makeups that require different nutrition. It's important to acknowledge that in food guidelines instead of mandating a Universal approach. I hope you stick around and continue to share. I welcome a diversity of thought and experiences when it comes to food. Thanks for commenting :)
