A week of eating only stereotypical vegan foods 🌱🥗🍌 (PART 1/3)

[@abbrakadabraalakazam]

I could never forget the wedges and lettuce with dipping sauce.

[@mollyricee]

YES. this was a big one for me

[@kellylegan]

I was howling when she held up the romaine and potatoes together 😂

[@beraxcce]

A UK version of this video would just be Linda McCartney sausages, she carried us 😂

[@amoebavega]

Still love Linda! 😂

[@lorienrhiannonmorganpaulson]

One of the few veggies sausages I eat (and I’m vegan!) so shoutout to Linda!

[@Alexissleepy97]

Yes she does 😂

[@Emma-ut4mf]

Still does😭😅

[@ellematthews_]

Those linda burgers that were just like chewing cardboard 😭😭

[@MrNioMoon]

What comes to mind when I think of classic vegan food is tofu scramble and avocado toast. Can’t wait for the next part(s)!

[@kaytaayyyy]

That potato-carrot mac n’ cheese 😭 I used to make it allllll the time. Another iconic vegan meal that I still enjoy: tofu scramble for breakfast!!

[@skyechang1309]

yes tofu scramble is an OG.

[@booksandbroadway]

I can't believe no one said red lentil daal. There was a hot minute there where every single vegan on the planet had red lentil daal once a week... and then the next day we had the potato wedge lettuce situation.

[@opidasdagoat]

and a bean chilli.

[@theheadinclouds]

I STILL EAT IT LMAO

[@stephrussostudio]

This video is so perfect. I’ve been vegan for 6 years and I went through all of these phases lmao the roasted potato bowl especially hit like why did I used to think I could live off of only potatoes?

[@stephrussostudio]

Also, the coconut bowl !!

[@Blurggg]

high carb hannah...lol

[@scribblesandscrawls]

@@Blurggg omg yes, high carb hannah and freely 😂

[@wiebki]

Tbh i still feel like i could live off only potatoes 😂

[@sophie2720]

oh my god I had the dry ass oil free fries and salad blocked out of my memory hahaha glad to be over the disordered eating veganism

[@Rinaa11214]

What comes to mind for me: Avocado toast, acai bowls, tofu scramble, kombucha, nicecream, one of those raw cheesecakes lmao, DATESS, potatoes as chips, and eating pasta in lettuce cups !!

[@clovesbian]

Omg i used to have so many dates 😭 i bought so much like all the time. Still eat them but not as much. Tofu scramble yess there’s this one really good recipe in Vegan With A Vengeance.

[@oopsallbugs]

What was it abt dates!!!

[@TheSnuffy1994]

Wait but what about oatmeal??? Cashew based "cheese" sauces were the bomb though!

[@michaellyon9220]

And people more people need to know that Daiya has recently changed a number of recipes in their products and wow good job taste good ✨🌱👍🏻

[@faithcook2429]

oh my god the all veg mac and cheese just took me back to that first year of veganism pretending it was super good 😅 i also was a huge fan of making veggie burgers from scratch for some reason?? like with beans and quinoa and nuts in there lol what were we thinking!

[@ziva329]

omg same with the veggie burgers, i was convinced a good bean patty was the secret the veganism lol

[@Cassandra659]

i still love those dishes and make them regularly 😅😂

[@AT-mq9wk]

Just curious, what do you eat now? I’m trying to switch but I’m struggling.

[@opidasdagoat]

veggie burgers slap

[@Lunar_Vibes]

Emily: "Daiya was there for me, when I had nothing. " 😄 I buy hummus at my supermarket all the time. It is so convenient. I use it almost everyday to make myself a delicious veggie sandwich. But, if you make hummus youself it probably tastes even better, and it is likely a bit cheaper.

[@ollieeeeeeeee]

omg i completely forgot about the lettuce and potatoes meal phenomenon. i’m glad we as a people have moved past that (love a roast potato tho)

[@IvyLilley]

Wow it’s like looking back in time to my first year of veganism! 😂 Great video concept! I love it

[@nicoleg6417]

same i went vegan during the freelee/ stella rae/ essena o neill period

[@kelyrin-douceuretdessin9476]

I'm surprised no one mentioned tahini dressings ! I see them EVERYWHERE !!! 😅

[@WindellDianthus]

potato and carrot mac and cheese is at least budget friendly, but I agree, add in some broccoli, peas, spinach, anything to boost the flavour and nutrition 😂

[@mollyricee]

oil free potato wedges, romaine lettuce, and ketchup. ALL THE TIME. i really levelled up 😂 but i genuinely enjoyed it at the time and i actually felt so good haha!

[@rosiern7386]

Unrelated note: your hair is looking very healthy and natural. Don’t know if it’s anything different, just wanted to note. You’re my favorite comfort channel

[@Dizzy_frog]

I find the best mac & cheeses to be roux based. Works perfectly well with vegan butter and oatmilk. Add some mustard powder and nutmeg to enhance the cheesy flavours.

[@joellecampa8787]

this whole video gave me so much nostalgia! not the foods themselves, but watching you make these foods took me right back to watching your videos in high school

[@chel97]

absolutely loosing it at untying a carefully sealed bag to reveal a SINGLE Baby Carrot :')

[@Blurggg]

black bean brownies, raw date energy balls, homemade kale chips, cashew parm and eating a whole watermelon as a meal for round 2? :)

[@riversongsmelody]

I feel like chickpea salad is stereotypical vegan food. Also pasta made with cashew cheese

[@lorienrhiannonmorganpaulson]

Someone I know stopped being vegan. I have to respect that. Equally, I would be lying if I said it hasn’t upset me. However, in an attempt to understanding this persons reasoning for not remaining vegan, I sniffed (but not drank!) some dairy milk. It’s safe to say that I have every intention of remaining vegan. Thanks for sharing this video, it was so fun to watch! I can’t say it’s nostalgic as I’ve only been vegan for 2+ years but I like how you’ve stated in the title of this video that this is part 1… which suggests a part 2 is on the way - yay!

[@aireeahnuh]

My first year of veganism was a lot of: GIANT smoothies (😔), bowls of beans and rice, Costco’s old veggie patty’s, avocado toast, tofu scramble

[@lilybachar479]

yooo I used to make the "mac and cheese" all the time!!!! I would eat it with zucchini noodles and extra nutritional yeast! Core memory

[@katieburns1119]

I've been on a fried green tomato and tempeh bacon sandwich kick all summer. 🤤😋 I highly recommend everyone try it!

[@devbo1385]

Soymilk is the best non-dairy milk; I will die on this hill.

[@emmadaye2405]

I was soooo into the lettuce avocado dip thing when i first went vegan omg i forgot about that!!!

[@dianeflowers1949]

I used to eat potato wedges/french fries in lettuce with chili sauce several times a week. It was so filling and quick to make.

[@alexandriasanders9499]

Finally got a current video! I’ve made my Mac (minus any milk. Just veggies and oil really) very filling. Like I couldn’t finish a full cup. It was good though!

[@dj_m]

12:50 Apparently raw agave is the least processed agave which becomes lighter and lighter as it gets refined. Totally googled that but glad to have you as the impetus!

[@ginimeh5638]

I used to make this nacho/mac n cheese sauce all the time and every time i would make it, the recipe got longer! The last one iI can remember was the basic recipe you used and in addition: tomato paste, jalapenos and some of the brine, soy sauce, miso paste, mustard, garlic and various spices. I varied the amounts of everything too and at one point I swear i tasted heaven!

[@hyperfocus6910]

I remember the first time I sa the french fry salad bowls 😂 I was like....genius...these vegans are genius 😂

[@emilylunt8766]

Your kitchen design makes me so happy! I love it and it feels so cozy to watch.

[@emilyihde3921]

If you like Tofurkey you should definitely try Herbivorous Butcher deli meats and cheeses! They are based in Minneapolis where I’m from and they are insanely good. And they ship all of their meats and cheeses nationwide! They are a stereotypical vegan staple in our city. They are so popular they even opened a completely vegan fried chicken restaurant!

[@xiebeth3294]

Long time viewer, and I just need to tell you how cute your kitchen is!

[@KssN27]

Me after being vegan for 2 years and carrying a vegan household for my lil friends bc I was the one to steal all the groceries from Whole Foods: ACCURATE Edit: I’m 80% vegan but don’t reject non vegan food from others, esp if it’s when I’m working in the community or during get togethers. Judge me 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@KP-zw4yt]

Would you ever do an updated vegan multivitamin / supplements video? There's a lot out there and I just want to make sure I get one that's really going to help fill the gaps in my diet plus you're opinions on anything vegan are always gold

[@leas9108]

I ain’t never been this early ;-;

[@toridanielle333]

omg what a throwback lmao I lived on those potato wedges and lettuce for a minute 😭

[@alyssah5702]

I literally guessed the “french fries” and lettuce when u held up the potatoes & romaine

[@rh7968]

I never thought to have frozen lemon on hand duh so smart. What a fun video if you do it again don’t forget tofu scramble lol 🌱 I definitely got inspired for next weeks lunchs

[@Ligaya1980]

It would be a dream to have any type of grocery outlet near me. It would help out so many people and really cut down on food waste💚🌟

[@lizzzarduh]

I hope they expand!!!

[@lizzzarduh]

It really is the best store I always find so many cool products.

[@brittanyparker4659]

Now craving the lettuce and fries lol Dates are also very much stereotypical vegan Enjoyed the video!

[@dianeflowers1949]

Yes... the raw vegan videos had me out here wanting to buy boxes of fresh dates, all kinds of varieties I'd never heard of before. Dates and "nice cream" was big too!

[@ConsciousWithConner]

I still can’t believe that people still drink almond milk 🥛 😂 there’s no taste bro or creaminess. If you do drink it why?

[@MelMeltalks31]

Maybe I’ve been under my vegan rock bc I’ve been vegan since 2015 and always watched Freelee the banana girl and rawvana like they were crack and NEVER SAW LETTUCE AND FRENCH FRIES ?!?!?!?!?

[@jennaxx9570]

I used to eat soooo many clif bars when I first went vegan 😳

[@denahout]

The wedges and lettuce had me fucking screaming 😂😂😂 the flashbacks! It was too good! You genuinely slayed this video!

[@lizzardnannerzz]

For the carrot and potato Mac n cheese... THE BEST way to prepare it is not traditional at all. I LOVE to put some sliced bell peppers and yellow onions in a skillet and char them as well as caramelized the onions a bit. I also use a jalapeño and serrano for spiciness. After that, you blend the charred peppers and onions with the original ingredients and it creates this southwestern style pasta dish (I'm not even going to call it Mac n cheese) that is PACKED with flavor. It makes a GREAT dipping sauce, pasta sauce, and it's creamy (from cashews) so it makes a good soup base. Like if you make a southwestern corn chowder type deal. Just use the sauce, add some corn, black beans, cilantro and anything else southwestern that one may like. It's BOMB af!!!!!!

[@britneycarron7854]

The lettuce and potatoes is so funny! I was vegan in 2017 and I ONLY ate the potato lettuce bowls 😂😂😂

[@KrystalKairi]

I think Cliff bars are incredibly stereotypically vegan - every vegan I know used to travel with at least 1 cliff bar in their backpack/purse "just in case". I don't think I actually really liked them that much, but they were available and did stop me from starving so many times I can't complain!

[@olivialouise9117]

daiya makes me feel physically ill EXCEPT For the mac and cheese ?__? I prefer follow your heart for vegan cheese

[@bloominbuddy9591]

I was really looking forward to this video once I saw the question on IG! The basics were usually bangers.

[@ItsReallyThatSimple]

Unrelated, meet my roommate video? Sounds like a second channel vibe 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@katieburns1119]

My stereotypical vegan foods are... Tofu scramble or oatmeal for breakfast. Potato lettuce wraps or Mac and cheese for lunch. Fried cauliflower or veggie nachos for dinner. I used to eat all of these things so much. Veggie nachos don't sound too bad right about now. 🤣

[@sustainablesabs]

i started screaming when the pic of the baked fries and lettuce leaves came up 😭😭😭

[@clovesbian]

This is such a throwback I kind of want to do this. I never actually made the vegetable mac n cheese, I should! I always just do nooch and plant milk and spices. Also i never even had the potato wedge combo but i recognize it lol. You are so spot on w oat now, 5 yea ago almond, 10+ yrs ago soy. Even though I have all in my milk rotation i think like 2012 i was v on the almond milk train. Then 2018-2021 i exclusively got silk or trader joes coconut milk bc my ex fiancée liked it. & was the only plant milk i could get her on. And now I am indeed an oat milk ho. I def go through cycles. You mentioning raw til 4 ahhhh haven’t heard that in so long lmao i did that in highschool for a minute. Love the undercut! Before I cut my hair real real short I had an undercut just like yours 🌈 If you like mushrooms have you tried like lions mane, hen of the woods, oyster, enoki, etc.? Healthfood stores will trick you into thinking they’re expensive but they’re v decently priced, at least at my local Asian grocery store. I got into them from a local grower at a farmers market though. Also making things from scratch more. I need to get into that. I used to make my hummus from scratch too. Other than homemade hummus I like have to get mine from Arab-owned restaurants bc they just. They make it right.

[@suckonmyhooves]

I feel like "stereotypical" vegan food for me is whatever I ate when I first went vegan. It was a lot of oreos, takis, Daiya cheese, and taco bell XD

[@lucysour]

I drank a lot of black coffee going to shitty diners with my friends in the mid 2000s and eating french fries at chain restaurants. A boca burger is another like... old school classic "vegan option." Avocado sushi is another good one.

[@itsfinallygone6260]

I was shook when I guessed that potato and lettuce meal right. And I’m with you on the food coloring they add to the wraps. It’s colored just to make you feel healthy, it’s disappointing.

[@sheilam283]

What did you use to season up the tofu? Thank you for these videos! I feel like I am learning so much!!! Like I mentioned in another comment, I'm new to all this and am trying to avoid a lot of food allergy items and also trying to keep it fairly low sugar.

[@mariacordello4994]

Went vegan in 2015…this series gave me sooo many memories. Almond is still my milk of choice btw. Can’t get into oat 😂

[@kristaarsenault1226]

Oh I enjoyed this video soooo much. So much nostalgia..... ❤

[@viivi4196]

omg I remember trying that mac and cheese thing and being so disappointed in it lol I even tried a butternut squash ver but neither of them were good

[@bostjantnt]

Hello everybody. Can someone help with 1 dollar vegan?

[@kaylabeersingh2609]

Sourdough is very stereo typical vegan so would say it’s related Also surprised nobody said nutrition yeast

[@pabulumm]

Sorry this is completely unrelated to vegan food but where do you buy those button down short sleeve shirts?! Love them!

[@artsygirlmarilyn6296]

Hysterical omg. New not new ..upcycled 😂girl 🥝🥑🔥🔥

[@george5120]

That diet is so unhealthy. Better monitor your blood glucose and blood ketones to assess your risk of diabetes.

[@brittanydaniels1102]

Raw agava is the best to buy. When agava is heated too much it acts too much like corn syrup in your body.

[@mycastlewalls1544]

Nodding my head in agreement that Daiya was all we had back then along with just TJ’s vegan cheese

[@jennybushnell9995]

For some reason anything from tofurkey brand hurts my stomach every time and since they were first on the market I stay away from them because veggie food has come a long way Yves or field roast never any problems at all with

[@janellevombey7353]

not me watching and almost choking on my mac n cheese when i saw your undercut- i mean i’m not surprised that you are but i didn’t know you know?!

[@charitygamble]

In all honesty, all I taste with the potato/carrot base “cheese” sauce is potato soup. It does not help that I intensely dislike potato soup. 😂

[@jennybushnell9995]

Was it my imagination or waa the very beginning of this video sped up really fast? Lol

[@Dara-tn8rg]

I understaind the 'daiya nostalgia', I love certain brands or products every once in a while that give me the old skool vegan/veggie vibes and were there when no one else was haha

[@brittfox9038]

Clif bars are a staple of my 19 year old's vegan diet, second only to peanut butter.

[@sydneyalisonbaker]

I prefer soy milk. It works better in recipes, especially baking.

[@jenniferjuneau7329]

Bitchin sauces are entirely a vegan staple, especially the Chipotle flavor

[@emmadaye2405]

This video idea is just so funny…I look forward to your videos soooo much! Thank u Emily 🫡🫡

[@rileylawson9958]

Pretty sure u single-handedly keep Tofurkey in business

[@corih568]

I also think kale is stereotypically vegan, at least for me. we all eat to ward off iron deficiency haha

[@shayk8021]

Add aquafaba instead of water to hummus! And a teaspoon of cumin!

[@unapologeticella4540]

I'm not against vegans but bread and pasta is so bad for me at least. I love tofu with a bit of salt😋😋😋😋😋

[@xomsicxompk]

I did the lettuce and potato with avocado thing bc I didn’t have a lot of money in college and it was filling 😅

[@gracenykol7486]

love your kitchen wall and how it's painted!

[@deec6535]

I’ve been vegan for 18 years, but allergic to dairy for longer. That nasty 90s Westsoy was the OG. I hated that stuff. It’s so much easier to be vegan now. That potato carrot mac is still my fav, though.

[@julieyoung3815]

I’ve been vegan 9 years . Will be vegan 10 in mid Oct. I’m allergic to gluten. Gives me hives , skin burns and blisters.

[@dolapoakintunde4078]

Idk if I fell behind on your videos, but I’m loving the kitchen 😍😍

[@Emilia-hj5xw]

Straight up my favorite KZbinr

[@MaeLozzaGABE]

these recipes also take me back to when i went vegan years ago! kinda miss making simple meals like these and going back to the basics

[@probablyadog]

if I didn't know I know I now would say I don't but now? I know.

[@1risVirus]

You never fail to make a video that I can sit fully through without getting bored. Thank you!

[@hibyelisa]

i used to do boiled potatoes, steamed broccoli and then i would drench it in sriracha and nooch

[@laurajeanist]

I think the potato lettuce thing came from Freelee or the potato diet

[@simpking01]

the stevia drops that freely used were iconic

[@eriaspirig499]

aaaaaah i love your videos sooooo much!!!!!

[@ollieeeeeeeee]

this is such a funny video idea. i love your brain emily

[@katetheworld4053]

ur my favorite grandma lesbian vegan

[@kiwikels]

My favorite part of this entire video had to be when you tasted the cheese sauce and realized just how foul it really is. For looks it’s definitely a 10/10 but there is no amount of nooch that will make that taste right
