3 Ingredient Meals from Trader Joes! Vegan and SO GOOD!

[@beeheart6529]

Oh yeah! You taught me how much better a salad is when tossed a big bowl. I do it all the time now! I’m really enjoying rewatching your previous posts. 😊

[@pamtewes5276]

I am RUNNING to Trader Joe's!! Thank you for your talent in pulling together great options

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thanks Pam! So excited to hear what you think of these simple meals ☺️💚

[@tracygaither2297]

It's me again! I tried this Udon Noodle Bowl (a few times) with the Sriracha Tofu and loved it. Then I saw on KZbin that Kim Campbell from PlantPure Kitchen made an Asian Noodle Salad. So, that is now my go-to. Just cut up whatever veggies you want and add cooked Soba noodles. The peanut sauce is so good. Then I top with Sriracha Tofu and chopped peanuts to round out the meal. Give it try!!

[@kathy2910]

You should have a million subscribers. You are so good at what you do! I always share your name on Twitter when people ask for vegan recipes. Best wishes and thanks.

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you Kathy! Hopefully one day! That would be so cool ☺️ And thank you so much for sharing my channel with people on Twitter! That is so helpful and very appreciated 💚💚

[@Genevievexx3]

This video is filmed and edited SO beautifully, I felt like I could smell and taste all the delicious flavors! :) Looks like I have to make another TJ's trip... oh no.. twist my arm.... lol

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you! Editing is the part that takes the longest for me so I really appreciate you noticing that ☺️💚 Glad you liked this video! Let me know if you find anything fun when you go to Trader Joe’s 🛒

[@ElinevanderLaan]

Love how you manage to make something delicious-looking and wholesome from convenience items! Fast food done right. X

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you! I think sometimes “semi homemade” is a good approach because you can take help from the store while still making cozy and healthy meals ☺️

[@ShiningWithLove]

The roll ups 😱 gonna be a game changer when I’m tired but want something nutritious and not too heavy.

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m so happy to hear that! They’re such an easy go to and easy to add flavors with hot sauce or fresh herbs. I make them a little different each time but the method is the same and such a staple for me. Hope you enjoy!

[@pamtewes5276]

I am obsessed with the noodle salad from trader Joe's! The package says 2 servings in the container but there is NO way I will share!! The sriracha tofu is perfect with it. I adjust my breakfast calories down to accommodate this awesome salad. More videos like this PLEASE! Huge help to those of us who make bad choices when we dont want to cook!

[@NikkiVegan]

haha sharing is overrated when it comes to noodles! Glad you liked this video 😊😊

[@kristenleeannhicks3768]

These all look so delicious and easy to make. Can you please make more easy to make, simplistic recipe videos like this? 🤍

[@neuftette]

Watching your videos is just so soothing and cozy.

[@allisonchilds8470]

I love to watch it no matter the subject cuz she has such a soothing voice!!

[@SK-ki1te]

Love your idea of making meals from store bought items!😍Real Life! More please!

[@sarahwells6402]

Such a great video! I also like to add frozen cauli rice to everything, even my kids oatmeal and smoothies! 😁

[@jorusso-pereyra7594]

Just made the pinwheels and they are fantastic, I was a little skeptical about the TJ Melodions and its been sitting in my freezer for a few weeks. Also did the Udon Noodle salad which was also very good. Would love to see more of the 3-ingredient videos.

[@jennifers2555]

The Melodious Blend is SO underrated, it's one of my favorite items at TJs! One of my frequent go-to quick dinners is a baked sweet potato stuffed with Melodious Blend and hummus. So simple and super satisfying and full of literally everything healthy. I like the idea of the cashew cheese with the chili...I'll have to try that one!

[@NikkiVegan]

Yum! Love the sweet potato and hummus idea! Sounds delicious! I will 💯 be making that soon too! And I agree, I just discovered it but I’m so glad because like you said it’s so versatile 👌

[@missk4934]

LOVED THIS!!! More of these videos please👏👏

[@danigarcia1845]

this was SUCH. helpful video ive never seen something like this! UGH now i have to go to tjs hasha everything looks so delish

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thanks Dani!! I’m so glad that you liked this video concept! I’ll make more like this in the future! ☺️💚

[@vi3215]

i love the time and effort you put into your videos. it really shines through. i love your narrations and the editing and format of the video. :))

[@PlantPusher]

Another awesome video, Nikki! As a mom of 3, navigating 3 different school schedules (zoom classes and in-person instruction classes), most days if there are no dinner leftovers I’m left staring at an open fridge wondering what the heck I can throw together for myself. Lunchtime is a real struggle. Can’t wait to pickup some of these TJ’s items to keep on hand!

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m so glad this video was helpful for you! I hope you and your family enjoy these meals and side note: you’re a superhero juggling all of that and taking care of it all! 🙌🙌 Sending you love 💚💚💚

[@charstar13]

thank God for this. I dislike cooking and this made me feel better and happier about the process!! :)

[@loristory83]

All of these look delicious, I can’t wait to try the chili on top of the sweet potato! ❤️ Awesome video!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Lori! Chili on baked potatoes is one of my favorite combos. Especially with some vegan cheese or sour cream on top. Hope you enjoy 😊😊

[@dianec3279]

Loved this video! More please. Even 5 ingredients would work for me. Thank you so much! 😎

[@jeanc9868]

Very creative! Definitely trying the sweet potato one, thank you Nikki! 💗

[@jilldoubell-smith3646]

Absolutely LOVE recipes with few ingredients!! So nice to go shopping and buy only a few things. Please do more videos like this..... even perhaps 5 ingredients 💕🇿🇦

[@NikkiVegan]

That’s great feedback, thank you for letting me know! It’s so good to know what you like about certain videos so I can make sure to create more helpful content in the future 💚 5 ingredients would be fun too!

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Recipes that are 5 or less ingredients are budget friendly and helps debunk the misconception that being vegan is expensive.

[@Grace8381]

Your recipes are always so well thought out for taste, nutrition, texture, look appeal and more. Wow 🍴☺️

[@Pinupred21]

Thank you for the easy, yet flavorful meal ideas 😁

[@NikkiVegan]

My pleasure! I’m excited that you enjoyed them! Can’t wait to hear what you think if you make these recipes at home ☺️💚

[@CollinMichaelSings]

Your food is always so good I love your recipes thank you sometimes I get in a rut after a few weeks of going off throw together meals and I need some thing exciting and fun 🤩 thank you❣️

[@jessicafigueroa7398]

Tried the udon noodle bowl. Sooo good and easy. I felt like I was having a treat.

[@tom77436]

The first recipe looks amazing. So simple but so good! Will be trying all of these 😁🤙🏻

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Tom! Hope you enjoy ☺️💚

[@lyndajane9870]

Your videos are always so inspiring. Thank you!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you Lynda!! I’m so glad you think so ☺️💚 This was one really fun to make

[@aliciav4352]

You picked my favorites from Trader Joe's. The Melodious blend i put on top of my meal prep salads in the fridge. I prep the salad for the next day and just put the Melodious blend on top frozen. By the next day its ready to eat and delicious 😋

[@hoon75]

Those sweet potato boats look HEAVENLY. Definitely stopping by trader joe's tomorrow 😆

[@Camjolley]

The chicken-less chicken nuggets with the sauce is by far the best plant based orange chicken I’ve ever had. So so so delicious!

[@NikkiVegan]

I love it too! My favorite nuggets I've tried so far are the frozen 365 brand of vegan nuggets from whole foods but for orange chicken this one is my favorite! What other Trader Joe's frozen items do you like? I want to try some new ones 😊😊

[@JeromeKahele]

I love those peanut noodles Nikki, now I need to hunt down the Siracha tofu to add to it! Thank you as always for the inspirational creative ideas.

[@cheezheadz3928]

You could also just marinate a block of tofu in siracha.

[@ammerslo2632]

This is AWESOME! TFS

[@NikkiVegan]

Aw thank you!! So glad you liked it 🙌🙌🙌 Happy Saturday!

[@paulaleach6058]

Great video! Love this concept!! Please continue with more of these, including regular grocery store items, too.

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks for letting me know you’d like to see more of these videos! I’m on it 🙌☺️💚

[@missk4934]

Made the Udon Noodle Salad with Sriracha Tofu for dinner and it was so tasty!

[@annashealthyworld]

Love that there are only 3 ingredients. Can't wait to try that Udon noodle salad!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thanks Anna! I’m excited to hear what think! I sometimes add sautéed veggies and/or avocado to change things up. Hope you enjoy!

[@AnnaCatherine77]

I stumbled upon these and I love all of it! Awesome ideas!

Please do more of these. These are so great!!!! I’m totally going to do these!

[@NikkiVegan]

Good to know you liked it! I’ll definitely make more like this!

[@Rucola438]

Your ideas are amazing, but I think that what made me fall in love with your content is how calmly and lovingly you talk about food. All this talk about what is healthy, what is moral, what is environmentally friendly has burnt me out... I just want to cook nice, delicious, healthy meals and you provide that in a cozy, relaxing fashion and I am here for it!

[@NikkiVegan]

Thank you! That’s really nice to know. I really find cooking to be a way to care for myself and others so when I approach it like that, rather than a chore or something I have to do to be “healthy” or “stick to my budget” or anything like that, it makes it so much more enjoyable. It’s also sometimes healthier and more budget friendly too but my intention is compassion and care and pleasure first ☺️☀️ Glad this resonated with you! Thank you for the kind comment ❤️

[@Rucola438]

@@NikkiVegan aw, your comment is making my day! Thank you for the reply! Call me extra inspired now to put pleasure and nurture first!

It would have been nice if you added the ingredients you used per recipe group.

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m not sure I understand what you mean, can you please clarify? ☺️❤️

[@ceafva]

List the items in each of the recipes that you used. For example 8 ounce can of spaghetti sauce, etc. that’s just an example.

[@joyfoucault7075]

On my! Love the idea with the tahini bowl. Will def be trying this different way to eat it.

[@NikkiVegan]

I’m so glad you liked that idea! I was thinking it would be a good taco filling too..especially with some fresh crunchy ingredients on top! 🌮

Yay! I’m glad that was a helpful tip for you! It only needs a few seconds but it’s amazing! Turns into the best nacho cheese sauce! Hope you enjoy!

[@beckieleigh5932]

Never thought of heating up the fiesta dip. Genius!

That orange chicken looks amazing! I need to find out if my Trader Joe’s has it. Sometimes mine doesn’t have the same things as yours sadly.

[@NikkiVegan]

If not you can do the same thing with a different kind of vegan chicken and make a sauce with orange juice, soy sauce, maple, corn starch, water, and red pepper flakes. There’s also a homemade Spicy Orange Tofu recipe in my virtual class on the International Open Academy called Quick and Easy Vegan Cooking if you’d like to learn how to make your own! 💚💚
