Happy New Year Chef John. It's that time of the year when many people make it their resolution to get into shape. Very thoughtful and helpful.

For my homemade sports drink, I prefer apple juice because I use it on my long runs and OJ can be a little harsh out on the trail. I love your energy bar recipe!

'Tis the season for health food,low calorie and low carb videos!😂 My local market sells a version of this; they're about 1.25 per bar. I was going to make some last week with crunchy nut or peanut butter,dates and cocoa, but the dates...um... the amount in the bag kept, um, you know... shrinking. 🤷 Thanks & Happy New Year Chef John!

i know its cliche, but i really wanna do my best this year to lose weight. with hypothyroidism its really hard, but every bit of information and recipe and everything is another motivation. good luck to everyone whos doing the same! stay determined

Do it Chunky-Ass! 🥴

I second William's comment. Highly recommend Dr Eric Berg on YouTube. Do check him out and Happy New Year.

You can do it Janus…January 1, 2022 at the age of 60, I weighed 240 lbs…I was disgusted with my physical fitness. I had been doing the Shampoo diet (lose, gain, repeat) most of my adult life so I changed my mindset. Instead of going on a diet, I decided to change my diet. Instead of living to eat, I wanted to eat to live. I watched a lot of Dr Berg YouTube videos on the Ketogenic way of eating. I started eating two meals a day and after a month, I switched to eating one meal a day. I also began walking every other day. In June, I had my doctor do a blood test. It was the best test results ever. It’s now January 1, 2023…I’m 61, I’ve lost 50 lbs, with the guidance of my doctor, I have eliminated 8 medications (I’m drug free) and I now walk 8 miles every other day. I do have a day or two a month when I splurge (cook a Chef John meal or eat ice-cream, pizza, Chick-fil-A…) but I really have changed my diet. I have eliminated temptation by only keeping food I should eat stock in my house. If I want a treat at night, I make it difficult by having to get in my car to drive to Publix for ice-cream or peanut M&Ms. I wish you the best, Janus

Thanks for this video! The timing was perfect. I’m just getting in to cooking healthy desserts. I can’t wait to try the donuts. One thing, search YouTube for bad cooking oils. You’ll never use “Vegetable Oils” again.

Chef John, your videos are always a highlight to any day

Happy and healthy New Year 2023. Thank you for the awesome recipe!!!

@Major Old Lady aka, Mom Perhaps they meant just one. Besides, doesn’t matter. I join Simona H. Happy and healthy New Year 2023 to everyone.

RecipeS, plural. 🤣

Thank you Chef John for being so good to the mind, body, and soul!

Chef John! Perfect timing with this video! 😊

I've made these before. And yes I made the bars and balls both. Very tasty and quick food on the run

Congratulations lucky winner you have been selected among shortlisted winners. Text on Telegram to claim your prize 🎉

Oh yes, the energy bars. Not so healthy in my case . Too good. Ate the lot. Not on the run……

Thank you Chef John for another great video ! I”m trying to see the recipe of the first one with chocolate and can’t find it.

Looks super good! Have to try these 😊

I have discovered coconut oil! I use it in most anything that needs oil now. I bought it to make snowy mooncakes and so I made them multiple times in multiple ways. Then the jar sat on the counter while I cooked all week and instead of getting the other oils out I used it for all things except frying. I don’t know what will happen if I fry but now I have an air fryer and soon I will find out. Also I made purple potato skin mooncakes with purple potato white chocolate filling.

Thanks for planting that seed in my mind which led me to to either give up ever having artificially flavoured vanilla products again, or going in search of beaver butts to harvest my own... Happy new year.

Imitation vanilla is definitely one of those farm to table ingredients you hope you'll never have to gather yourself. (leastwise because you might acquire a harem of beavers who like...donating? Volunteering?)

Congratulations lucky winner you have been selected among shortlisted winners. Text on Telegram to claim your prize 🎉😊.

Happy New Year Chef John!!! Those doughnuts look delcious. And I haven't eaten a steak in 20 years but i was tempted, maybe a mushroom steak? 😂😂

Let it be known, Chef John, that I know the truth behind where artificial vanilla extract comes from and I'm still more than happy to use it. I am the villain of my vanillin.

Congratulations lucky winner you have been selected among shortlisted winners. Text on Telegram to claim your prize 🎉😊

If only it were the only ingredient to be worried about….live dangerously !!! I will fight for your right in the vanilla plight to do as you like.

Have a healthy and happy 2023, Chef! And healthy and happy cooking.

The best way to do Kale is still cooking it 30 min to 1 hour with 1 onion per pound of kale and half that of water or beef broth. Addendum: A good beef or pig sausage or a slice of Kassler (cured pork). Leave the potatoes if you want to save carbs.

Fun fact: cooking foodstuffs helps make their nutrients more bioavailable to our bodies. We lose some vitamins depending on the cooking method (vitamin C is destroyed by heat), but in general cooking makes food better.

I always peel any apple I eat. I very much dislike apple skin. I'm not sure why. I finally found a basic apple corer and with my trusty peeler, those two tools make peeling and coring and apple very easy! The corer is nice if you want to make a baked apple and stuff the core with butter and brown sugar and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. The butter and brown sugar will melt in the oven and make a delicious sauce that can be spooned over the baked apples. My mother would make those for us so we could have dessert even when the budget was tight! Happy cooking everyone and Happy New Year! Healthy donuts? That's a food sin! hehehehe just teasing! Thanks I will save this recipe for the fussy / special eaters that I meet in my travels!

I am so intrigued by the spicy mango sauce. The link to the full recipe is dead and I assume that access to a 2011 recipe is not part of my member benefits. Any ideas how to get quantities, or should I just fool around and figure it out?

Let the diet ads and gym adds begin.

Congratulations lucky winner you have been selected among shortlisted winners. Text on Telegram to claim your prize 🎉😊.

@Major Old Lady aka, Mom I think she's making a pun - "Gym Adds" are the muscles you get from a workout regimen.

I no longer go on a diet and I cancelled my gym membership…January 1, 2022 at the age of 60, I weighed 240 lbs…I was disgusted with my physical fitness. I had been doing the Shampoo diet (lose, gain, repeat) most of my adult life so I changed my mindset. Instead of going on a diet, I decided to change my diet.

Just want to say that these bars are only healthy by certain standards. Dates are basically sugar, and coconut oil is a saturated fat. Also nuts are very high in fat. So yeah, the nutrients and fats etc. Are good for you, better than a candy bar, but in terms of calories they are quite nuclear. They are basically sugar and fat. So I personally would rather eat a few dates and almonds separately, that way you can control your portions much better. Just think about what your actual health goal is when you choose what to eat!

If I enjoyed the assassin episode, why wouldn't I enjoy the nuts one, vegan roasted or not. ; -)

2:43 Just gonna beaver away on my internet browser and see if I can find out what this is about, butt if I don't I'm sure I can just trust John's advice and use the real stuff.

Im making the first batch with dates, but will try either prunes or apricots- maybe mixed with some dates. dates are $$ Repl

Why does dried fruit add sugar as compared to fresh? I dehydrate my own fruit so there shouldn't be a problem?

Is there any reason for the cayenne in the bars. Not that I'm complaining lol I love adding cayenne pepper to everything but whats the purpose here :) spicy chocolate ? 😋
