Notes
You can make this in a WildSide+ jar by increasing the ingredients 1.5 or 2 times.
You can usually use the bigger jar instead if it calls for the four side. I only have wildside jars and use them for everything! You just can’t go the other way…if a recipe calls for the wildside, it likely won’t fit in the fourside. Hope that helps!
does this have to use the 4 sided jar or can i get away with using the 5 sided jar?
thanks
I just got my Blendtec and am not a cook but follow a no meat/no dairy/no oil eating program so am having to start cooking. Would I be able to take this recipe and just leave out the oil? That’s what I’ve done with most other recipes.
You can use the WildSide+ jar, you’ll just want to increase the recipe by 1.5 or 2 times. :)
Do you have to use the yeast?
