Your baby is the sweetest! Love how she eats all the same food, just cut up smaller.

[@AlexandraAndersson]

You and your daughter drinking that smoothie together is just goals

[@msicottevt]

I love this! She is the cutest!!! I love that you include her in food, I so wish I started this lifestyle when my now teen was a baby (I just didn’t know yet then). I love that all you do food wise here is simple, achievable for day to day life.

[@AlexandraAndersson]

Thanks so much!! 🥰 yes I love planning and making simple meals, especially nowadays hehe. Including her in cooking has been my plan since even before getting pregnant 🥹

I can't thank you enough for your amazing recipes, and being such an inspiration. Your videos have taught me how to cook, and gain confidence in the kitchen, something I never had before! I've been vegan years but had never learnt how to cook this level of healthy delicious food, so thank you so much! :) I have your app and its my weekly saviour! x

i love that you feed your baby the same things as you. i never understood the people that eat healthy then feed their babies awful foods

[@gr5693]

You mean conventional food? Animal milk, meat, eggs and fish are essential for children. Moher milk is essential for babies, that’s why the nature gives a human mother milk.

I was also longing for your video . Really you put so much effort into it . Keep going.🎉 Ur an inspiration.

[@AlexandraAndersson]

Thanks so much 🥹

[@13mrex]

Finally a great video again. This is the reason we joined you 😊. We love to see recipes and have the family included as well as general life updates. Having a balance in life is what it’s all about and I think to many social media outlets is definitely not good for MH for anyone unless you pay someone to run it for you. (But then it’s not really you) Well done for an awesome video and I can’t wait to make the sunshine patties soon, they look fantastic 🎉. Happy Easter 🐰 to the family

[@AlexandraAndersson]

thanks! appreciate having your feedback on my videos 😊 Social media is both good and bad in many ways, you just need to have a balance and don't get too involved with comparing to others. Because what people post both on instagram but also here on KZbin is just a fraction of a life, you simply can't see the whole picture

[@13mrex]

@@AlexandraAndersson absolutely agree what we see is not always reality. 😺

You have a very beautiful baby and family I love your videos!

[@fashionluvr15]

I love these kinds of videos, I have a 2 year old and switching to a plant based way of eating is something I have been wanting to do for a while now. Your recipes are making this possible, I love how simple they are for busy moms especially 😅 and most importantly my toddler loves them!

[@kdubb7224]

Alina🌷 is the most GORGEOUS little girl. She looks like she's from a story book and is the perfect picture of a healthy baby. Thank You for being such an amazing Mother. May Blessings overtake you.. 💐💞💐💞💐💞

Amazing 👍

[@timea_zsigmond]

I really like your videos, I'm sorry that the uploads are so short and rare 😢❤

[@user-gd2yb6xz9u]

Hello! I love your videos and also bought your book although my little one is already eating everything. I wish I had it before but luckily your recipes can be for the whole family. Have you seen the “kitchen helper tower”. It’s a stool for baby to stand at the counter and watch or help you cook and has bars for safety. I saw another KZbin mom had one. I bet your little girl would love it ❤

[@Mika08.]

Currently watching this while I have one of those school project babies that cry and I’m absolutely miserable, but this helps me romanticize the mom life😅

[@AlexandraAndersson]

It will get better, everything is a phase! You're a strong mama and you got this ❤️

[@rcfnc]

Hi Alexandra. I gave up Instagram and Fakebook and I don't miss it. I am on YT only and that's enough for me.

[@cyndij8312]

Alina is walking! Love that you included her in the video.

[@AlexandraAndersson]

Yes she's been doing that since turning 1, now she's 14 months :)

[@cyndij8312]

@@AlexandraAndersson so fun to see her in the video. I just meal prepped your curried potato tray bake from the app. It's going to be good. I made a curried mango chutney sauce to go with it because I'm not a fan of mint.

[@annaburke8537]

I was just wondering how you are! Clicked on this so fast

[@_Anida_]

Which oil are you using for the pancakes- coconut?:)

[@donatina1987]

I love your meals ideas much! I like the goto smoothie in the app. I would likely ask if using lettuce in smoothies works as well taste wise as kale is out of season ( sad face) and I tend to avoid spinach

[@mavnulsknlg]

Lettuce is awesome in smoothies. It is so good for you!

[@gma6278]

Are you frying in oil the sunshine fritters or just baking on stove top? My screen is small and I cannot tell. Looks good!

[@Slodka_magnolia]

where did you buy this white long-sleeved blouse?

[@mandycorrell6851]

where are those bowls from?

[@MsCloudcomputer]

Your daughter is adorable

[@nathaliecooman8272]

Can you also choose something else than chickpeas flour? Because i am bloating a lot when eating chickpeas. Thx 😊

[@poppyr4639]

I wonder if you could bake the fritters in an air fryer without oil...might still be crispy without the oil

Your daughter is beautiful, such a beautiful name too. The recipes looked delicious 😋 I'm definitely going to try, thank you! I love your outside terrace.

Thank you for another video. Question about the fritters - do you freeze them before pan frying or after? Thanks

After! I'm not sure how they would turn out if you freeze before

I just watched this video and I enjoyed all these recipes. I clicked on the link to find out what the cost of your app was, but I’m not seeing that info. Are you able to say what the price is… is it a one time charge, or annual. Thank you.

I always wondered how to raise a child vegetarian or vegan. Did you go to a professional? How are you planning to do this when she starts to get interested in non plant based food? I don't mean to be rude I am just very interested in this kind of stuff because I mostly eat plant based myself :)

[@Moon52171]

What oil do you use to fry fritters and pancakes please?

Sunflower, and for the pancakes it taste really good with coconut oil

The diabetes I once had would return if I ate all these foods

[@scienceislove2014]

My aunt had diabetes and she eats these foods all the time .. slightly higher in protein (she's vegan) and food fats from nuts and seeds... And a bit more greens.. Her diabetes hasn't returned...

[@sallybilly1]

If you look up 'mastering diabetes' they also eat this way. It's the fibre, protein and movement after eating that helps the glucose in your blood get absorbed by your muscles instead of spike your sugar levels.

[@mavnulsknlg]

My husband’s diabetes (t2) is cured from eating this way.
