Aldi Grocery Haul and Easy Meal Ideas! Plant Based Recipes

Hello everyone! Today I'll be sharing what I bought from Aldi to make some easy plant based meals for the week. On this weeks meal plan I made some berry/ yogurt parfaits, veggie burgers, refried black bean tacos, quinoa and white beans in the instant pot, and huge salads for dinner!
Other ingredients I used that I already had in stock - kite hill yogurt, hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, spices, condiments and nut milks.

[@Sunnydayz2023]

Thanks I like the simple easy meals. And everything from Aldi was nice and affordable.

[@michellel8537]

I am so glad to see a new video. I've missed your videos. This one was great as I never tried Aldi until watching your videos. Thanks for the time you take to do your videos for everyone.I hope you add the soup and taco recipe to your website!!! I'd love a video on different soups as I love them during cooler temps!!

[@negenreider]

I so appreciate when you meal prep and use everything thru the week. No waste! More videos like this one. Easy recipes. Thank you!

[@zarneenayub8473]

I love watching your videos I was literally waiting for your new videos ❤️

[@infinitelovegratitude5789]

Thanks Chanty! Such a Simple & Delicious Plan for Healthy Vegan Success ~ You are an inspiration!

[@cindraamundsen2197]

Lovely as ever! Glad to see a post from you!

Gotta try dr. Prager veggie burgers they are the bomb and they are super healthy

[@alwayslearning9272]

I'm from Australia so we don't have access to Trader Joe's but I've seen other people such as Miranda from Running on Plants say they've created their own chickenless seasoning just by blending together in a spare empty jar the same seasonings that are in the Trader Joe's version, you should give that a try as all of those seasonings are ones that are easily accessible and some you would have already, like turmeric, onion powder, garlic powder etc. It mentions the spices used on the front of the jar and I've learnt that the quantity always goes from the first item on the list being the bigger amount in the blend and so on, so if turmeric is the first thing on the list there will be more of that in the mix, then the second largest quantity goes with the second thing on the list and so on, if that makes sense? Just make your own mix in a small bowl and stir and then you can store it in the Trader Joe's jar when that's empty. Good luck, let me know how it goes! :)

[@bethsummerfield9855]

So inspiring! Thank you for sharing - really missed your videos!

[@Barbara-pz8ky]

Such a neat fridge…everything looks delicious!

[@coreychatman6332]

Love your outfit and your groceries. You have lots of stuff. Thanks for sharing this sweetie.

[@Chantymarie]

Thank you! ☺️

[@Sourpusscandy]

I really enjoy your shopping and cooking shows! I haven’t made quinoa in a long time, might make up a batch, I cook it with taco seasoning, then cool it and mix with finely diced carrots, celery, onion, and red pepper, mix with mayonnaise, just enough to make it stick together. Smear a few tbs of that on a tortilla, add avocado slivers, lettuce, and wrap it up! So delish!

[@Kristina-ib3ln]

Great video and recipes Chanty 👍🏻 You really make me wanna buy an instant pot. Seems so much more fun than cooking on the stove 😃

[@bonniemaresh3562]

Always love your videos 🤗👍

[@LauraCastillejos]

Glad you're back! That Trader Joe's Dill Salad Dressing is my new favorite! I'm definitely making that broccoli soup! Thanks for the video Chanty! 💕

[@michelea2326]

Chanty!!! I love seeing a new video from you! Especially a meal prep video! Hope all is going well with you…you look stunning & healthy! (Side note…I legit think that if you are health conscious, vegan, vegetarian, and/or plant based, two instant pots are a must. I just got a pressure cooker but for rice and grains but it’s basically just a tiny instant pot.)

[@lizzzarduh]

Yayyy I’ve been missing your videos so much!! Love these aldi hauls 😃

[@dean9235]

Aldi plant based foods are so delicious.

[@SoniaElsie]

Yuss we love a good grocery haul!!

[@judykurtz1]

Really helpful content, thank you!

[@NMturbopup]

I love when you post ❤️

[@jaimefok]

omg you cutting jalapenos reminded me of the one time i cut some, and then HOURS later all of a sudden, my fingers started burrrrrrning so bad right under my fingernails it was brutal! didn't let up until i dipped my fingers in olive oil lolllll

[@juzeSL]

Everything looks so good!

[@jeannereddig5080]

Great meal prep ideas❤️

[@teeieahughes1410]

I tried those protein burgers I didn’t like them. I think that im gonna try a walnut mushroom meat. Great idea with the Quinoa! Thank you

[@siasia3376]

Hi chanty I use Frontier Co-op Organic No-Chicken Broth Powder 1lb From Amazon which is kind of like the trader Joes chicken less seasoning

[@tlhuettl]

Chanty, what liquid were you pouring over the corn tortillas as you were reheating them on the cast iron pan??? Water or oil??? Thank you for an awesome, inspiring video! ❤

[@crimelymanor]

so glad you're back! do you remember where you got the veggie broth cubes? i always look for the cubes but can never find them!

[@cassandraw2861]

Thank you for recipes I shop at aldis

[@julieharden2433]

My favorite vegan chicken seasoning is Better Than Bouillon No Chicken Base. I use it for everything - soups, stews, and even vegan cheesy potatoes that tastes exactly like the non-vegan cheesy potatoes.

[@TheEiffelTowerGirl]

i love your food related videos so much! so many great recipes to try ☺️ off topic, your hair has gotten so long! 🥰

[@CTahoe1]

I was wondering if you could comment on your water/Berkey? We have been on the fence reading many comments people either love them or have issues with the filters/cost and maintenance, so I just thought I would ask you while I enjoy your food videos since I noticed one that looks like a Berkey in a few of your videos. Thank you!😊☀

[@kennyg4517]

Love your hair!!!

[@jimontgomery3865]

Yay new video

[@Chantymarie]

Thanks for watching ☺️

[@Smudgemom2003]

Your hair is getting so long! Pretty. I like when you show what you make with your grocery haul. Never thought of the mushroom ‘bacon’ thing….have to try this week! Thought: what sort of meal planning do you do before shopping? Like….on Sunday…do you know you’re going to have veggie burgers Thursday night or do you wing it? Is your week structured like that?

[@Chantymarie]

Thank you! I actually just cut it after I filmed this! Yes I kind of think of what I want to make ahead of time!

[@maryturner5354]

You keep nut butters in the fridge? Is that where they are supposed to be stored? Mine is not, and so now I'm wondering if that is wrong

[@Chantymarie]

If they are natural nut butters the oils can go rancid faster so I refrigerate mine!

[@maryturner5354]

Thank you! I guess I'll do a sniff test (lol) and then move it to the fridge.

[@davidwalls8466]

Aldi has great prices, but some of the lowest quality ingredients (GMOs, glyphosate residue). I'd stick with the produce and only buy organic strawberries (conventional ones are on the "dirty dozen list). But if you're vegan and on a super tight budget, Aldi can help. Great video.

[@daraghosullivan1157]

Interesting. Do you have any links for the glyphosate residue info?

[@Fotograffa]

Yep, you're right. I'm SOS no salt, oil, or sugar in addition to organic non GMO. The beans are 👍

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

🤗Thanks for teaching me a new recipe! This one looks really good. 🌺🌸I especially appreciate that it is vegan. I loved your easy to follow presentation. 👍🏻Clear and informative. I make vegan cooking videos too and I’d love to learn from each other. 👍🏻

[@lnixon236]

Where are I located? As in where are Aldi stores?

[@Chantymarie]

im in california but aldi is in lots of states!

[@teeteedevon1]

we don't have an "Aldi" in Baton Rouge :(

[@abigailgoodmacher9715]

I love the long hair!

[@paulveg8524]

Scrape your chopping board with the reverse edge of your knife so that you don’t blunt it.
