Wow…….I have wanted an excalibre dehydrator for what seems like forever….A better question for me would be what wouldn’t I make. I use my oven on low to do a fair bit already but with imperfect results. And it drives my husband nuts when it stays on all night. I have never tried making my own jerky before so would start with that.
What a great competition. I used to own a food dryer many,many years ago. I dried all my herbs and tomatoes from my vegie garden, made yoghurt rollups for the kids when they were growing up. I would also dry bananas, apples,pears & pineapple.Once you start it is hard to stop.
What an awesome prize! I would love to make activated nuts, granola and fruit straps for the kids.
Wow, well with a baby on the way I would be drying fruit and crackers for breastfeeding snacks, some sort of Easter treats and making coconut yoghurt because it’s sooooo expensive to buy (how versatile is a dehydrator- I did not know!), with the juicer I would make lots of lovely recipes including a good post birth recipe with beetroot, pasley, grapes and celery – all good things for iron!!! All amazing prizes thanks for offering them

Fruit and vegies from the garden, jerky and crackers would be top of my list to make.
(This is an amazing prize!!)
I would love to be able to dry my nuts with the dehydrator, rather than the oven and our juicer could definitely do with an upgrade. The mind boggles really, with all that you could do!
What fantastic prizes!! I would start by dehydrating tomatoes, chillies, herbs and garlic from my garden – so I can experience those summer tastes for longer, and sulphur free dried apricots would be great too…As for the juicer- the possibilities are endless…maybe an apple, kale and ginger juice would be a great way to start the day!

I so want this! I want to do dried blueberries, mango and strawberries for my granola. But looking at everyone else’s comments the options are endless!
Oh my, I have never owned a dehydrator and thought they were just for drying fruit but after checking out the Excalibur website I was blown away by the diversity of uses – crackers, dog biscuits, fruit leather, tomato powder, chips, even potpourri. I think kale chips would have to be my first go to recipe. Sooo excited 🙂
Raw banana bread, fruit roll ups, chia seed crackers!!!!! 🙂
Oh my goodness! Jerky; and roll ups; drying off seeds and nuts after soaking.
One of the only kitchen appliances I don’t have is a dehydrator. Would love to give watermelon chips a go!

I have a long list of things I’d love to use a dehydrator for including (but not limited to) kale chips, jerky, stock powder & activating nuts & seeds. I dropped 30kg through dietary changes & now my 9yo has chosen to improve her diet, too. Anything I can do to help her would be fab! It would also help me to prepare great foods for our next bubba 🙂
Dried mango *drool*
I am desperate for a dehydrator to make my own dried fruits. 🙂
I would attempt every allergen free recipe I find and learn to make tasty, healthy food for my beautiful kids.
If I was to win a Excalibur Dehydrator, I would make dried apricots, I know it sounds so simple but I have found it impossible to buy them without preservatives.
The 9 tray as I would dehydrate my coconut pulp after making milk and raw crackers. Plus still leaves plenty of room to activate my nuts.
I’d make raw fruit leather
I would definitely make activated nuts!
Raw fruit leathers, kale chips, beef jerky and experiment with alot of other recipes. My in-laws have an excalibur, its great but a real tease as I just want to borrow it and experiment with it all the time. Would love to have my own.
I’d be another one making dried fruit. Yum
What an awesome giveaway!
I’d love to activate some nuts!!
I would use the dehydrated to dry activated nuts, make dried fruit and crackers
OMG where do I start. I try Beef Jerky, Fruit Rolls, fruit and veges and anything else I can get my hands on. I’d also dry meat and make treats for my Labrador furbabies 🙂
What a fantastic prize! I’d make fruit straps and sweet potato chips for the kids…and I’d make them to sell in the school canteen. When I help out in the canteen I’m always wondering about an alternative to the packs of chips they sell…I’d love if they sold sweet potato chips!
Hmmm…where to start? Jerky, dried fruits, raw stuff…dry my garden tomatoes… omnomnomnom
I would make a variety of tarts and slices from Everyday Raw Food. Their tart cases need up to 18hrs in a dehydrated. I would love to try them!

My poor little dehydrator gets a flogging here. I’d love this Excalibur dehydrator so that I can make more yummy foods for my kids and us big kids. DH wants more muesli, and the kids are asking for fruit straps and sweet potato chips. I just can’t keep up with them.
I would make beef jerky and attempt all of the other recipes I see on the raw food posts on Facebook!!
I would make kale chips, dried fruit, gosh really any kind of vege chip!!

I’d make Dried Fruit Ornaments: Get large pieces of different types of dried fruit, pierce a hole near the top of each one, thread a piece of string or ribbon through and tie end. They can now be hung around a small centre piece for guests to help themselves to or to be purely admired. Use your imagination and you could hang them anywhere! Even hiding them around the backyard and house and making the kids find them. Not only is this fun for the kids but they get a healthy treat at the end of it!
I’d live to dehydrate food to go camping with… Going outback for a few months soon and this would be a perfect idea! Dehydrate stock would be my first go.
Change. I would make a lot of change to my families diet.

Yummo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Great prizes! I would love to win the juicer. I have 6 young kids and I am constantly run-down! I had pneumonia late last year and I am struggling to regain my health.

Excalibur dehydrator we’ll eat more raw
I have always wanted to try a raw blueberry pancake recipe I saw on you tube but never had a Excalibur to try them.
I was given a raw food cookbook that requires a dehydrator for many of the recipes. I would start with one of the raw pastas if I one a dehydrator.
We would make jerky from grass fed beasts for ourselves and the furkids! Great comp! Thanks to everyone involved!
Oh, SOOOO many things! I could play in the kitchen making nutritious clean food to my hearts content. A raw pizza with a fresh tomato and basil sauce, raw ‘ricotta’ from macadamia nuts and dehydrated olives comes to mind first. Crossing my fingers I’m a winner 🙂
Oh the possibilities are endless! I would dehydrate banana chips first or juice using leafy greens because the Kids don’t eat enough!
Ooo, start with some kale chips, move into some other vegies then finish with fruit 🙂 yum
I would stop being so scared of raw food!!
I would love to be able to dry my activated nuts and sprouted grains with an Excalibur!
Preservative free dried fruit, jerky, tomatoes the possibilities are endless! A dehydrator would have a permanent place on the bench in my kitchen.
I love dried fruit and would eat it by the bucket load if I was lucky enough to win one of the dehydrators 🙂
PS: love your site
Beef jerky
Would love to make the kids fruit roll ups
I would make so much jerky with that dehydrator lol as well as dried fruits!
I would be so excited I would want to make everything but would probably start with fruit leathers. My daughter has so many food allergies this would be amazing
I’d make real food roll ups & sweet potato chips. Yum!!!
I would make my own powdered stock. Vegetable, chicken and beef. Make the stock, dry it and grind it. Nothing nasty in it – and I would share it with my extended family so they can get rid of those nasty supermarket ones
What wouldn’t I make!?!?! But baby loves dehydrated bananas the best as don’t eat grains this is the perfect alternatives to a rusk.
Oh, I’d dry extra herbs and veggies from my garden, fruit (mangos, yum!), and anything else I could get my hands on
definitely crackers, roll ups, dried herbs from my garden, dried garlic, ahhh the list is endless 🙂
I would make dried mango and crispy walnuts!
I wal dry some chillies to make my own chilli powder, I want to activate nuts and make some raw crackers, just for starters
With any of these prizes I would experiment with in season fruits and veggies but being a serious mango freak I would try and find some and dehydrate a whole stockpile to last the winter! I would dry my herbs to give to friends and family.
i would make lot of banana chips as they become ripe very quickly and then goes wasted.
I would start with activating nuts then try out recipes that I’ve read about!:)
I would make some dried mango first as my kids love it! Then I would try to make some beef jerky.
First off I’d love to learn to use the Excalibre system to dehydrate fresh fruit and vegies for better health benefits.
I have been dreaming about owning one for some years now.
Oh, I’d love to make a tropical snack box with the dehydrator. Must have ingredients would be mango, banana, pineapple & how would passionfruit go? Hubby of course would make jerky 🙂
Dry fruits that are in season
Love to try making my own raw crackers from flax seeds etc.to help me give up bread!
Rainbow fruit leather.
I would make kale chips, fruit leather and dried activated nuts.
Saw something like dehydrated fruit purée/natural yogurt drops somewhere before. I imagine them being sweet and tangy and great for a lunch box treat. Mango/yogurt I think!
I would definately be making dried mango and activated nuts! I’d also try Kale Chips in the Excalibur as we eats them everyday!
Living in a small country town I don’t come across Boost Juice outlets unless we are on holidays or travelling. I have always been fascinated with the ‘green grass’ shots that people drink but have never been game enough to try them. The juicer would give me the incentive to go a la naturale and really experiment using those vital greens that I miss out on.
We also have a child who needs high protein foods, as he is on medication that suppresses his appetite. I would love to create a high protein shake using blueberries, oats, coconut water, honey, whey protein and chia seeds. The juicer would allow me to create a variety of shakes for him each day and vary the taste. I don’t even have a mix master, so making smoothies for him to date has been very boring and limited.
I would dehydrate some tomatoes to have “sun”-dried tomatoes. Ha ha
I’ve always wanted an Excalibur! I’d definitely use it to make raw paleo crackers! I hate baking nuts, it doesn’t agree with my tummy, so to use nuts and seeds to make crunchy raw crackers, would just be so amazing!!
Activated nuts, dried coconut, beef jerky oh I can go on and on and on.
I would make crackers, fruit roll ups and activate my nuts!!
I would make preservative free fruit leather and beef jerky! Yum! I have many recipes built up I would love to try that require a dehydrator
Activated nuts. Dried coconut. Fruits. Yum the possibilities
My 2 year old doesn’t eat veggies but loves fruit and juice. So I would use the juicer to whip her up some fruit and veggie juice to increase her nutrition.
I would make my own nut butters with the juicer, yum, not to mention all the wonderful fruit and vegie juices.
My hubby is a mango farmer here in far north qld, so if I win, I’d be making a heck of a lot of dried mango 🙂 or mango juice 🙂 yum!
We also originally come from South Africa, so hubby will be thrilled to use such a fabulous dehydrator to make a traditional dried, spiced meat called ‘biltong’…a bit similar to jerky.
I would activate some nuts quicker than a squirrel can hide them.
I would absolutely love to win an excalibur dehydrator – in particular a 9 tray so I can use it for making my yoghurt. ATM I use the oven but it’s kind of tricky. I’d also love to make raw veggie crackers and about a million other things – soaking and drying nuts, drying fruit and veg in season, especially pineapple – dried pineapple is amazing!
I would make druit straps and maybe some raw crackers xx
I love to make raw pizza,followed by so many other raw recipes
Oh my gosh, how exciting. I’m totally thrilled. I would make all the dried fruits I can, bananas, apples and anything that’s in season and also, dried tomatoes.
I would make vegan cheese blocks for my little dairy allergic man.
So many things I could dehydrate…..please let it be me
Dried apricots. YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
I am really trying to get my family to eat better…. More raw fruits and veggies. If I won, I could make more nutritious foods with cooking away the good stuff. They love apple juice and fresh apple juice would be awesome!!!!
Have been drooling over the Excalibur Dehydrator – its been on the top of my wish list for so long. I have a laptop full of recipes to try but the first ones will be a spinach pizza base and dry my own apricots so that I can make apricot logs for the children’s lunches!
I would love either prize! Fruit leathers, jerky, dried fruit, oh and then the whole juicing world opens up! OH YUM!
I would make dried mango strips, the ones from the supermarkets have too much sugar on them and way to sweet for me.
we have quite a few fruit trees so I would dry fruit, nuts and seeds … oh wow what a give away!
Thank you for the chance.
Wow, where to start?! I’d activate nuts, make fruit leathers, dry tomatoes, dry fruit, banana chips, biltong, Essene bread – the Excalibur would not rest!
Great competiton, thank you 🙂
Oh my! What to make first??? Raw flaxseed crackers would have to be top of my list. Good ol’ kale chips a close second. Followed by “trial and error” projects involving almond milk pulp, juice pulp, and any other pulp I come across. Bring it on!
OMG what wouldn’t I make! Lots of delicious healthy goodies for the whole family & my little Nan’s lunch box like dried fruit, activated nuts, gluten free crackers, jerky, fruit straps, granola…., so many exciting options!
OMG what wouldn’t i make!!!! Loads of delicious healthy goodies for the family & my little man’s lunch box… Dried fruit, raw crackers, activated nuts & seeds, jerky, granola… so many exciting options!!
I would love to make fresh fruit and veggie juices every morning for my family. I would also love to make chia crackers, kale chips and fruit straps with the dehydrator.
I would love to be able to make fresh fruit juice for my kids every day, and I’m sure they would love it too!
I would make fruit leathers for my poor deprived children who aren’t allowed roll-ups! 😀
I would activate almonds, make raw seed crackers, dried fruit for the kids lunches, powdered bone broth and veggie stock powder……oh the fun, oh the health benefits. As a Thermomix owner this would complete my kitchen, however justifying a second “pricey purchase” anytime soon is beyond our budget.
Fresh juice would make me feel amazing right now!!
Ohhhh, i keep reading about dehydrators! I would try activating nuts, drying fruits, make kale chips….and find many more things to try 🙂
Activated nuts, and dried mango from my trees!
Thanks. I would go crazy of course but would probably start with dried fruit, so nice to have preservative free. Want to try some paleo wraps in the Excalibur as well. My juicer can’t handle celery so I could finally enjoy it in my green juices if I won the Omega.
The kids have been bugging me to make fruit leathers for ages so that would be the first thing to make in the excalibur.
Wholefood, healthy snacks to nourish the mind & body of my little boys 6 & 3 (oh, and their mummy!)
Kale chips and preserve all my garden’s goodness like herbs and vegies.
Every. Single. Recipe! From The Raw Food Mum’s book Raw Food 4 Kids! This book is amazing, and has convinced me I must have a dehydrator!!
Oh how this prize I’d love to win
As my HM 25 year old dehydrator I’ve just thrown in the bin!
I’d start with the luchboxes with fruit and yoghurt leathers
not forgetting the jerky, meusli bars and mango for icecream in hot weather.
Next to the dried vegies for soups, stews, tapenades and dips
then stock and soup leathers and cheesy kale chips.
The list just goes on and my mouths starting to drool
to win this prize would be so cool!
First thing I would do is ‘sun’ dried tomatoes. Love these in everything.
I would love the dehydrator, I have wanted one for a while to make my own dried fruits that are preservative free and don’t come from a foreign country, my husband loves jerky too so that is a must, I haven’t eaten dried bananas in forever to that would definately be on my list 🙂
I would activate nuts and make my children fruit leather.
Oh the goodies I would make! Granola, raw biscuits, activated nuts and seeds, veggie chips, yoghurt, fruit leathers – oh my!! 😀
Where to start… fruit roll ups, beef jerky, vege chips, granola.
I would love a dehydrator to make fruit straps and activated nuts!
Sonia this is amazing! I would create lots of healthy recipes and share them with my community, and instead of crowding out my oven doing nuts, fruit leathers, crackers, veggie chips etc, I’d do them all on a tray each of their own in a fraction of the time! THAT is an exciting prospect. xx
So many things I could make if I owned one of these!! First on my list would be sprouted crackers and activating nuts.
I would love to make my hubby some jerky!
I would put fruit in there such as peaches , mangos , etc

Delicious veggie chips for the kids… and me too!! Yum!
I would love to use the Excalibur to activate nuts and seeds more easily B-)
I have had my eye on an Excalibur for a few years now and I know that I would use it all the time. I have researched other dehydrators and I have come to the conclusion that this one is by far the best. I would dehydrate fruit, and make up little fruit bags for when I am out with my kids, I would make all kinds of crackers, I would dry my nuts that I had soaked, I would make beef jerky, and the list goes on and on……I would love it!…and my kids would think I was just great for making them so many interesting and healthy foods…x
I would make Against All Grain’s fruit by the foot
I have wanted an Excalibur for the longest time. I would make jerky for the hubby and fruit leathers for the kids and veggie chips for myself. Awesome giveaway, awesome blog 🙂
I would make lots of delicious snacks for my family that I would feel comfortable giving them as they would be healthy and nutritious and hopefully cease the ‘I’m hungry, what can I eat now’ my my growing son 🙂
I would make flaxseed and onion biscuits in the dehydrator yummy. So need that
Fruit leather! 🙂
I would dry olives, all my fruit as great for hiking and grandkids love it also, healthy bars and so many other things – even dog biscuits! The juicer would also get much use.
I would make all sorts of treats for my children – fruit leathers & activated nuts, beef jerky for hubs & never have to waste excess fruit again & veg. I could make delicious, nutritious dried fruits or just juice, juice, juice away. So much can be done!! 😀
Definitely beef jerky. I so love Beef Jerky but it costs a staggering price retail so it would be wonderful to make my own and also pop some into the school lunch boxes.
I could finally use my oven for something other than activating nuts! 🙂
I’d finally be able to cook something in my oven other than activated nuts that are on constant rotation! 🙂
Oh my! What an awesome prize! I have a very long list of healthy snack food I would make for the whole family to eat as we are often out and about & find healthy treats in between sports very handy to fill hungry bellies and keep energy levels up…especially my sons tennis tournament days. My hubby is a HUGE jerky fan so Im sure he would also create lots of jerky treats. Thanks so much for the chance to win! 🙂
Jerky!
Strawberry roll-ups! I had such a disaster trying to make them in my oven this summer.
My 11 son and I would make beef jerky and with my 6 year old daughter we would make lots if different fruits.
I would make fruit wraps, jerky, dry my own coconut. The list is endless when we have just embarked on our sugar free, thermomix and hoping for a dehydrator journey!!
pretty obvious but i would do dried fruit 🙂
If i were to win the dehydrator, the first thing I’d make is granola and dried fruit for myself and my girls! My 30 year old sunbeam is on its last legs, the excalibur looks amazing!
healthy fruit snacks for the kids and amazing fresh juices, yum!
Veggie chips, kale chips, activated nuts, beef jerky, dried fruit, dried tomatoes, powdered onion and garlic, curry powder. Many green juices for me and the family. Much more once I learn what I could do.
Tomato Conserva … Yum!
I would make dehydrated crackers for my coeliac littlies. They adore crackers but I’m loathe to buy the additive full store bought varieties and it’s just so much work making them without a dehydrator… This Excalibur one would make me one very happy mummy with two very happy kiddlets!
Crackers, sun dried fruits, activate nuts, jerky, Kale chips. Food that is wholesome, made simply with real food and nourishes our bodies to help us thrive. Especially my kids, because I love them far to much not to xxx
I’d activate nuts, dehydrate almond milk pulp and make fruit roll ups for my kiddies. I sooooo want one of these!!
Since I haven’t had a dehydrator before, it would open a whole world of interesting possibilities. I think the first thing I would try is to dehydrate my TMX stock paste into a powder! Then the kids would definitely want me to make dried mango…. they love mango. Thanks!
I would make dehydrated orange slices to be dipped in dark chocolate…and other healthier dried food…I have heard these dehydrators are amazing.
Wow! What an awesome prize!!
I would start with drying fruit & fruit leathers as we’ll as fresh carrot & fruit juices. Then my favourite thing – I would research on google & Pinterest and just love the healthy possibilities!!
Whoever wins will love & be so lucky! Good luck to everyone & thank you for the opportunity.
My kids have discovered roll ups and I would love to make my own roll ups – natural with no nasties! They can them eat to their hearts content!!!!
What wouldn’t I make… So many yummy options! First I’d make some dehydrated liver treats for my gorgeous little doggy. Then I’d be on to my favourite which is dehydrated pineapple and strawberries followed closely by some coconut yoghurt. My list is pretty much endless, this prize is awesome!!
Activated nuts and beetroot chips as a start!
I would make beautiful fresh vegie juices as well as wheatgrass shots.
Jerky, juice and dehydrated fruit. I can make my own trail mix for the kids for school without having to buy dried fruit with preservatives and sugar.
Dried mango
I love it so much
I can’t get enough
Beef Jerky, have missed it so much since my trust dehydrator packed up on us a few years ago.
Dried yoghurt roll ups, they’re the best 🙂
The Omega Juicer would be amazing – I have always wanted a proper juicer as it’s such an easy way to add extra veggies into your day, especially for kids (and vegetable hating husbands). This would be an amazing prize.
Lunch box health goodies for my young ones delicious raspberry, banana and apple in a rice crispy yogurt bar and an enticing drink of kiwi and strawberry ice chillers sweet and energising with a dehydrater it is limitless
I would make semi sundries tomatoes, kale chips, dried mango, red paw paw, beef jerky, crackers and so much more, but I would start with those.
Also dry nuts yum
Excalibur 9 Tray dehydrator – Everything
I would try to make home made beef jerky, kale chips and dried fruit with no nasties 🙂
So many things that I could make! I’d start with snacks and then start experimenting 🙂
Fruit straps 🙂
It seems we all have tons of great things to make with this great kitchen essential 🙂 I think my first experiment would be jerky and pizza bases 🙂 mmmmm so delicious 😀 Pick me rafflecopter 😉
Dehydrate my favourite fruit…mango! I can then eat it all year round.
I would enjoy making lots of healthy food including fruit roll ups which don’t contain any nasties, healthy fruit & veg smoothies and lots more yummy food. I need to convert my kids into eating less processed foods and encourage them to eat & enjoy wholesome foods. I am definitely up for this task!
I would activate all of my own nuts, make my own almond and coconut flour from the pulp left behind from making milk, and make far too much grain free granola 🙂
I have a mast cell disorder (my body is overloaded with histamine) and as a consequence of that I have a hugely restrictive diet due to food intolerances – one of the little treasures I can enjoy are activated nuts. This is where the Excalibur would be amazingly helpful, I could make a number of healthy snacks that I can tolerate and which my young children can enjoy also 🙂
I don’t think i’d turn it off for the first few months, so many things to make! Activated almonds, all the kids snacks, dried fruit of all kinds, cocoyo! However the juicer would also be amazing, mine is not up to scratch!
I would make delicious meals every single day. From breakfast,lunch,snacks,dinner and midnight snacks. 🙂
I don’t know where to start! Paleo chips, smoothies, raw treats and home-made alternatives to all those snack foods my kid loves. Would love to show my students how to use these things for all sorts of recipes too 🙂
I would LOVE one of these products to get interesting raw food into mine and my family’s diet!
This would be fantastic as my sons are always asking me to get a dehydrator so that they can make jerky
If I win the Excalibur I will be making some yummy fruit leathers for my kids with NO SUGAR 🙂
I would make banana chips, tomatoes, dried-apple chips and my personal favourite beef jerky!
The very first thing I would make in the Excalibur dehydrator would be pineapple soaked apple rings, my Mum made them for us as kids,over 20 years ago, and for purely nostalgic reasons I would do a batch for her.
I would just love to dry my own fruits 🙂
If I won one of the amazing dehydrators I would make healthy fruit straps, and also flax and other seed crackers! thanks for the chance to win.. and sorry about those other two blank entries… not sure how that happened 🙂
Activated nuts, kale chips, beef jerky, fruit leather! Yay!
I would most certainly start with coconut oil dipped Kale chips, then banana chips followed by fresh sultanas (grape cut in half) and my hubby most definitely would be demanding some amazing beef jerky!!!!
Ohhhhhh this is so very exciting!
I would love one of the dehydrators.
I would do activated nuts first, then whatever seasonal fruit I get in my organic co op box would get sliced and dryed!!!!!
The kids would be super happy!!!!
Fingers crossed
Oh! Oh! I would activate my nuts, make jerky, crackers, and dried fruit and veg! 🙂
I would make every recipe I’ve been drooling over for the last 12 months…everything from healthy raw choc bars, to beef jerky, to fruit wraps, to activated nuts! My family thinks I eat ‘weird’, so would be nice to be able to make everything they are familiar with (that’s full of crap), the totally healthy way!
I would love a dehydrator! I’d be activating buckwheat, making coconut yoghurt, making apple chips and loads of sugar-free fruit leather for my wee guy 🙂
Activated nuts, raw seed and herb crackers and juices of every type my imagination could conceive
This would be a homebodies dream, a homebody like me that is!!! I imagine saving heaps of money with the dehydrater and I’ve never used a juicer before, but it sounds great, very healthy
If I win one of the prizes I would make dried fruit and veggies. Homemade Fruit Leather, banana crepes. Yum! Ithats the first thing I would make
I would make dried fruit for goody bags for my daughter’s first birthday party coming up 🙂
We have so many tomatos from our garden, I would definitely try them first in the dehydrator. Then fruit, activated nuts and flat bread!
I would love to make snacks for my children’s lunchbox, and for my husband on the road….Oh, and for me!
I would activate nuts for myself, dehydrate veges chips and fruit
Well at this stage I am not sure what I would make but because I am isolated from the shops I find I am buying herbs, fruit and vegies and they are going to waste and this really irritates me so I would dehydrate these and build up my stock of these. Lots of other things to do I see by all the comments.
With the Dehydrator I would slice up Bowen mangoes and turn them into beautiful chewy snacking treats! Sweet, textural, healthy and kids love them.
It’s KUMARA CHIPS for me! So delicious and healthy, so expensive to buy.
Activating nuts and dried fruit!
if i was lucky enough to win an Excalibur dehydrator i could make hubbies favourite beef jerky and healthy snacks for us all
I’ve never owned a dehydrator before so the sky would be the limit and Google my best friend. I suppose the first thing I would try is almond flour as I go through buckets of it but having read some of the comments on this blog the possibilities seem endless – semi-dried toms, crackers, fruit leathers. All everyday things, it would be put to good use for sure!
As to the juicer, I HATE the fact that store bought juices have so much sugar in them and it’s really hard to sneak vege juices into the kids so this would be a blessing to be able to make my own and know that the kids are getting the good stuff in them 🙂
The first things I would make would be raw crackers and fruit leather 🙂
I would be so excited to win the excalibur 9 draw dehydrator. So many possibilities. Prepare nutritious foods for my grandchildren and children and start them on the path to dehydrating. Changing diets to the appreciation of raw foods and the possibilities. Fruit leathers and straps, jerky, yogurt straps, vege & fruit chips especially banana and sweet potatoe. To bring fresh raw home grown foods from the garden that will last and maintain their nutrition during the year. I would also love to learn other possibilities in using the dehydrator and use it to its fullest potential. How exciting that would be! I am pumped 🙂
I would make the most amazing fresh fruit juice combinations with the Omega Juicer!
I would love to dehydrate mango from our trees and also for dehydrating granola : )
Fruit straps 🙂
Dried apricots & fruit leathers for my kids lunch
There are so many things that I would love to make, but activating nuts would probably be the first thing! Would make it so much easier with two little girls running around the house all day 🙂
Organic and Activated all the way!!!! Those two words excite me…. Granola, bars, cakes, tarts, quiche crust, pie toppings, fruit roll ups, drie fruit, juice juice juice! I could keep on go…. THANK YOU and fingers toes and all that can be crossed are xx
Vege chips, yoghurt and dried tomatoes to start with!!
I would make snacks for my family. My daughter has allergies, so it’s hard to find healthy snacks that are good and with variety.
um where to start…… everything – i really want to make some dehydrated wraps for the kids for lunches and i would love to make some little bites/bars for morning teas 🙂
I have a fantastic juicer…but would love a dehydrator. My son is not a great fruit eater these days…would like to get him into fruit again with some great fruit-inspired snacks & meals from the dehydrator. Bub #2 is almost here so will be good for when he/she is up to that stage of eating solids..& good for snacks for me when breast feeding.
I’d love to give activating nuts a go, plus making fruit leather and beef jerky would be yum too!
I would make flaxseed crackers
Seasonal ruit and vege, herbs, kjerky, fruit leathers, meat and vege stocks, yogurt, raw crackers and wraps… The list is endless!
What would I make aaah everything…I am sensitive to all breads so my own dehydrated bread from activated seeds. I confess I may make organic grass fed jerky…why does all jerky have preservatives? Tomatoes,crackers,vege crisps…oh my salivating 🙂
The first thing I would make is coconut flour out of the leftover pulp after making coconut milk.
WOW! This is a fabulous prize pack! With an Excalibur…..Dehydrated strawberries (fresh from my local strawberry farm, they taste like sweet candy), pineapple(Yum!), crispy dried apples (great instead of potato crisps and perfect for kids lunch boxes), raw ginger snaps, raw beetroot crackers (better than Ryvitas), fresh and 100% real fruit roll ups (for lunch boxes), activated nuts, orange slices (great to use in tea or for dipping in chocolate ) …I could go on and on…..and on….
Oh wow!!!!! This prize would help me soooo much to activate my seeds, nuts and grains for my family and I am very excited to find out all the amazing things I could do in the Excalibur to further eliminate crap from our diets! Thank you for this amazing prize!!!!
Both the dehydrator and the juicer have been on my wish list forever! I would love to make lots of lovely healthy snacks for my babies (and me!) especially dried apples and apricots. My kids love them but I struggle to find any that are sulphite-free and the few that I’ve found are just so expensive I can’t justify it. Would love love love to be able to make some myself. 🙂 I’d also absolutely love to be able to make fresh healthy juice for my family. What a great competition!
Oh the possibilities!! I would make kale, sweet potato and zucchini chips (just to name a few) and all sorts of dried fruit, raw crackers and pizza base. I would also like to try raw flat bread for wraps. Yummy!! A juicer would be awesome too. I have my cheap juicer and dehydrator away to family when I recently moved interstate. So my 4 kids and I would love to be lucky enough to win one of these amazing products.
I would leve a dehydrator to make coconut yoghurt, wraps, bread and healthy snacks for the kids like sweet pototoe chips, fruit straps. Plus everythesle lse healthy.
Oh how exciting it would be …. I would start by drying all the fruit i could get my hands on , then vegi chips , then flat “bread” with spinach, then activate nuts , then check out what this “yogurt straps” is all about, then … oh I’m hungry now , I’d better go and eat. But it won’t be any where near as good as it would be if I had an Excalibur Dehydrator. A dream come true.
I would like to dry fruit and I have seen some recipes I would try, like raw pecan cookies. MmmmMmmmm
I would love to have the excalibur dehydrator! The 1st thing I would make would have to be fruit leathers, so delicious and good, and so pricey to buy!
Would love to make vegetable chips with the dehydrator specifically beetroot and sweet potato yum and healthy
I would make raw bread, loads of seed crackers and then move on to healthy tasty sweeter treats! 🙂
I would dry as much fruit that was in season as I could. I have mangoes on our block, and I love dried mango the best. I would use it also for drying out the almond and the coconut pulp from when I make milk then make flour once it is dried. I would like to try to make beef Jerky, fruit wraps as well as dried cranola bars! Oh so many things to make with this. Been dreaming of owning one for a long time!
I would dry fruit in season, try to make Beef Jerky, dry almond and coconut pulp from making milks, to make flour and have a go and dried Granola bars! SO many things to be made using these. Been dreaming of owning one for a long time!
I would try kale chips for the first time!!!!
Wow where to start.. Ive been wanting one since forever….i would make my own spices and dried blends of homemade goodness, activate my nuts alot easier, make tasty healthy snacks like crackers, dried fruit and most of all just experiment with the endless possibilities and have fun 🙂
I would love to do semi dried tomatoes, so I can use up the beautiful tomatoes my husband grows, well that’s the start anyway 😉
I wiuld make lots of snacks for my son tgat always asks is it healthy. Dried fruit, fruit straps.
He also loves juices so would be great to make fresh juice with him
I would love to try my hand at activating nuts & drying some of the fruits we grow. We have an absolute glut of mangoes & apricots all at once. Hubby would also love to make his own jerky
I would make raw cakes, dried fruits and veg, activate nuts and beef jerky (just for my husband – so he stops eating the junk from the shops)
I would like to activate nuts, make my own seed crackers and dry chillies to make into chilli powder, just for starters!
I would make living wraps and dry the almonds after making almond milk to make almond meal. Would honestly be so excited and LOVE to win!!!!
Lovely giveswsy! I would dry our excess fruit, make fruit leather and crackers.
What wouldn’t I make my dehydrator is cheap and small it would be heaven to have the real deal. Experimenting time how exciting .
What would I make? What wouldn’t I make!!! I’ve seen so many recipes that I’ve wanted to try but needed a dehydrator for – ravioli, crackers, pancakes, dried fruit, dried tomato, dried herbs….. the possibilities are endless. Being dairy AND egg intolerant, this baby would definitely get a workout! 🙂
Wow! The dehydrator looks fantastic! I have never owned one or really know much about them but with an almost 3 year old daughter with severe food sensitivities on a very limited diet of mostly fruit and veg this would really be an amazing thing to have. I could give her more variety rather than just the plain steamed or raw fruit and veg she already eats. Amazing, thank you!
With the dehydrator I would start with Green veggie powder, healthy jerky!, crisps of pumpkin/beetroot/parsnip/zucchini/apple/strawberries etc!, dry herbs and tomatoes and beans, make raw bread, crackers including juice pulp crackers, activated nuts, granola and yoghurt. After that I would be looking for more things to try.
With the juicer I would start with juices…specifically a 5/2 juice with kale, beetroot, celery, carrot, cucumber, orange and banana. Yum!
I would make lots of dry fruit to take for my class. They have only tried my kiwifruit so far. They love it!!!
SO. MANY. THINGS! Just like Excalibur the magical sword, I will take my magical kitchen knife in hand and make LEGENDARY food! And just like the wizard Merlin, I will make food magic happen in my castle! As for the first thing I’ll make, hubby would like me to activate some nuts, but I’m not sure he knows what this actually means!
Oh the dehydrator would be continuously full activating nuts, making seed crackers, 24 hour yoghurt, cookies and dehydrating everything I could from my garden.
Lots of ideas for using up any excess from our ‘food forest’, too many to list but particularly keen for a juicer!
