Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Under $2! Easy Vegan Recipes - Mind Over Munch

[@TheWolfePit]

Alyssia, My 15 year old daughter made your sweet potato curry soup last night.......it was DELICIOUS!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

yay! I am so glad to hear that, thank you for sharing! It makes my day that your daughter was enjoying trying the recipes out :) Cheers!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thumbs up if you want more budget friendly meals! Being healthy does not have to mean spending an arm and a leg if you can get creative with it and be open minded :)

[@RobinOrzo]

Yes please! I'm on a really tight budget so I find these SO helpful!

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! Thank you! :)

[@realglutenfree]

Its so cool that you do something for people with little budget. Im a student who has to work for his money and sometimes its hard to live healthy with that.

[@Momosaymkay]

You should do the $3 a day challenge like brothers green did

[@misspriyapandita7518]

Yesss I feel like I'm always on a budget when I cook at home lol so yes plz

[@emelineemeline9114]

I like how she simplifies recipes, some vegan recipes for instances have 10 different seeds and alternative flours -.- Luckily these are easy to make with ingredients at home!!

[@MindOverMunch]

I try to keep things simple and use what I already have! :) Thanks!

[@Zarai_Numbers]

Same! I have all the ingredients for EVERYTHING! That's so rare lol. I'm about to make these now for meal prepping

[@theluckylokean]

I'm a little late commenting here but I wanted to say thank you SO much for posting this video! I am very poor and also lack transportation but at the same time want to eat healthy and preferably vegetarian/vegan and this video was really fantastic. It's very difficult for me to get quality produce and I can only go food shopping once a month at one store so pantry items and items that keep are my best friend. I made all three of these recipes and they were all fantastic and all extremely affordable. PLEASE post more videos like this in the future. I mean, I like all your videos, honestly, but a lot of stuff you post I can't buy. Thank you!

[@CorinnaAtHome]

zana I hope you've had success finding similar videos! I believe cheap lazy vegan did it too.

[@TononoGuedes]

Don't worry. Better times, at the end, come!

[@smudge8882]

Please try and check out your local food pantry, if possible! It can make a world of difference.

[@theluckylokean]

@@smudge8882 The "local" food pantry is not within walking distance.

[@smudge8882]

@@theluckylokean I understand. One of my friends has to drive 20 miles to the closest food pantry. I only commented in case you could've been in a similar situation to how I was growing up; we had a food pantry close by, but my mother had too much pride to utilize it. So, we starved when we didn't need to. Good luck to you and I wish you the best!

[@Superfastjellyfish669]

As a college student I love this video! Quick easy and inexpensive

[@alainadacosta1222]

Wow!!! I thought the $1.90 was for each meal! I'm so impressed. Thanks for sharing this awesome video!

[@MindOverMunch]

:) Thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed!

[@kitea007]

[@MindOverMunch]

great! Thanks!

[@Faye_Doll89]

[@housewife181]

I put peanut butter on my waffles the other morning! What rock have I been hiding under?! It was amazing! Plus it added protein! Lol

[@housewife181]

P.s. Love mixing rice and quinoa and rice and lentils. Okay... Bye! Lol 😊😊😊

[@elizabethbutler4649]

fruit preserves and peanut butter, oh my...lol.

[@denisecampbell6736]

Markethia McDonald Try Almond Butter & Bananas on top sometime. So good!! 😊

[@k8lynmae]

Almond butter is heaps more healthy and no aflatoxins

[@mimosatast1429]

This was the coolest video i have seen in a long time.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much

[@Morenitto89]

Great soul you have. Im glad you are helping a very important cause for the children in Africa.

[@MindOverMunch]

:) Thank you!

[@millyobryan9078]

Such sustainable, inexpensive, and healthy food options! More of the world needs to eat like this for a better tomorrow ♥️♥️

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!! :)

[@hellofun6500]

so happy i found your channel☺ after watching your videos i got so many ideas. thank you so very much.

[@MindOverMunch]

yay! I am so happy to hear that, thank you!

[@Jagervision]

I love to watch your videos with my kids to improve their involvement, awareness and education about food. This video was brilliant to start a conversation about even though we are not vey well off, we are actually really doing very well, should be thankful and do what we can to help others who are in a less fortunate situation. We love your videos! Thank you for what you do!

[@MindOverMunch]

That is SO amazing, I really appreciate your comment. It's a good reminder to all of us that we are really quite blessed even if we are on a budget, and have a lot to be thankful for :) Thank you for sharing the videos with your family, that really makes my day :) Cheers

[@remycatherine1044]

These meals were so creative! Glad you could collaborate with such an awesome cause. 💜

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you! :)

[@SweetlyHome]

Such a great message and a good reminder of how blessed we really are. Love the pancakes idea and will for sure be making them.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so very much :) I appreciate it!

[@Dulli1100]

OMG! You make the beeeeeeest comfort food alternatives and they are much healthier ..... Thank you soooooo much for sharing them with us

[@MindOverMunch]

[@AssiieJj]

I love this video! Cheap and vegan. Ideal for students as well!!

[@MindOverMunch]

totally! Thank you :)

[@TyRhooooone]

+Mind Over Munch Can you post the measurements for these. You stopped after the banana and oats pancakes.

[@anna.318]

I made the one pot lentils and had to keep adding more water to the rice and lentils but they turned out delicious

[@nervengewitter]

And people always say a vegan diet is expensive, when in reality, the foods that you can get the most satiety and nutrition out of when on a tight budget, are plant foods. So yay for cheap vegan recipes! Oh and great message in the video as well. I'll make sure to donate :)

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you, I appreciate it! :)

[@racheldomb4574]

You are an inspiration- love you

[@MindOverMunch]

Love you!

[@MarriageMotherhood]

Wow! What a great cause! Thanks for sharing!

my pleasure, thank you!

[@alexcisthunnery3729]

I love you videos! You are the best!! ❤❤

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much!!

[@realglutenfree]

Im so sad that avocados in germany are so expensive (around 2€ per piece) cause I love them so much. ;(

[@ribohe7295]

I know it's horrible D: Manchmal hat Lidl aber auch sehr gute Avocados im Angebot für 66cents, ansonsten für ca. 1.20€. Wo kaufst du deine Avocados? :)

[@MindOverMunch]

ugh that is so awful!! In the US they can be pretty affordable, especially California because so many are grown here.

[@realglutenfree]

+Mind Over Munch Yeah sometimes I wish I would live in a warm country ^^ ri bohe Ich kaufe manchmal im Aldi, aber beim Rewe sind sie wirklich teuer.

[@ribohe7295]

+Luna Moon Rewe ist allgemein etwas teurer, vor allem bei Gemüse, oder? Naja, wir können wohl nicht viel daran ändern außer die Nachfrage anzukurbeln...

[@realglutenfree]

ri bohe Stimmt

[@ilanah2786]

I love these ideas and I think it's really amazing that you had the opportunity to work with this organization and raise awareness about child hunger.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you! I am really happy to participate in the campaign :)

[@Tzulalay]

That dinner recipe is so easy and cheap! It will become a staple for me :D

[@MindOverMunch]

I hope you enjoy! Thank you!

[@iamprincessbecky]

these sound amazing!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you!!

[@AsToldByAllie]

and ppl say eating vegan is expensive 🙄🙄🙄

[@MindOverMunch]

or eating healthy at all! It can be affordable with some creativity :)

[@whiskyfox7943]

AsToldByAllie but it is ...

[@sodig325]

$1.40 is very cheap for a days worth of food. Most non vegans in developed countries likely spend upwards of 10x that amount on an average day.

[@chalseywilder937]

AsToldByAllie not everything costs the same everwhere

[@shannon2748]

Depends on where you live though. Fruits and veggies in South Korea are quite expensive.

[@26yuri]

I adore you because your heart is in the right place. May God continue to bless you.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much

[@nataliarivera1740]

Excellent!! Thanks love your ideas

[@lydiah7184]

Thanks Byron, great idea!! :) Have a great day!

[@MathMan271]

The work you do on your channel is nothing short of phenominal for a lot of people. I hope you're able to continue doing this for a very long time.

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you! :)

[@ericamolinari]

Please could you tell me which pan do you use for pancakes? I live in Italy and I've never seen one with those characteristics. Can I find it on Amazon? Thanks in advance!!

[@MindOverMunch]

It's a T-Fal pan I believe :)

[@ericamolinari]

Thank you very much :)

[@teerich2011]

They are all simple and easy to shop for ingredients.

[@MindOverMunch]

yeah! :) That was the goal! Thanks!

[@mochimeows]

Who else is a kid that doesn't have $2? 🙋🏻

[@mochimeows]

I'm actually a teen I'm 14

[@Jazminzesati]

Here we are talking about kids that don't have that to EAT, you have at least internet and computers/tablets/etc... dont "worry" about $2 and try to make it a popular coment!

[@FiorellaMarisol]

Bet your school lunches are more than $2, kid.

[@lovielolli]

+Fiorella Marisol at my school we dont pay for lunches lol

[@FiorellaMarisol]

It's great that you're getting involved in foundations like this. 👍🏽

Avocados are around 4-5 dollars each here in NZ :/

[@MartaCanga]

Amazing job Alyssia, really well done!! Such a great way to teach people that veganism is cheap, but most importantly, how you are raising awareness of an overlooked world problem. Bravo!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you Marta, I really appreciate it! I was excited to be asked to participate in the campaign and really enjoyed coming up with the recipes :)

[@bellakjar3323]

Can you do a collab with fab lunch?!!! :)

[@MindOverMunch]

I've done 2 with her before! :) Hopefully we can do another soon :)

[@sashaamsterdam]

You absolutely rock Alyssia. Great job and such a good cause!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much!

[@jenniferdykeman6286]

Just saw a tweet from you and looked through your account. I'm appalled at all those negative comments you get from such rude people. Your videos have no place for such hate! Keep doing what you're doing! P.S. I happen to enjoy your voice and everything about your channel.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much :) I really appreciate it. I honestly don't get that many negative comments, this community is so amazing. But any health related channel is going to be subject to hate because a lot of people think their way is THE way. I like to tweet the mean ones because some of them are SO ridiculous it's funny 😜

[@ModestMom2009]

Very nice! BRAVO!!!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!

[@smaxwelluicedu]

With your videos, I think I will make it. They are succinct and easy to follow.

[@saritadaniellita]

I found your channel looking for how to cook butternut squash and now I'm totally hooked on your videos! It's also super nice that you provide a PDF of your recipes. Thank you!

[@MindOverMunch]

amazing, thank you! :)

[@VideosQueMeGustanenE]

Love your videos! Thank you for your delicious, well thought out recipes and for bringing awareness to a great cause!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you so much!

[@nesyka94]

Amazing! Very delicious and healthy! Hooray for vegan recipes :)

[@Penelyn]

I love this simple and healthy ideas.Thank you very much!

[@MindOverMunch]

[@kimberly6903]

I'm totally making the lentil dish. Looks great!

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you!! Enjoy!

[@mshockey73]

Wow, as always, nice job Alyssia! i love the recipes you presented here.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you Cheryl! I always appreciate your comments!

[@Shameless_Sol]

OMG. I want more of these please!!!! Trying the pancakes tomorrow morning!!!

[@MindOverMunch]

Enjoy! Thank you!

[@b0gdan491]

these are affordable meals but they're so simple and so scrumptious: breakfast combines Oatmeal and pancakes into something even more amazing, the sweet potato soup is a flavor combo ( I also add chilli for xtra spice) and dinner resembles something simple and delish. I will make those more than once. YUM.

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you!! I appreciate it!

[@BigZ-il5hg]

God bless u

[@MindOverMunch]

and you!

[@aqua0811]

I tried the banana oats pancake this morning and it tasted like regular pancakes! Utterly scrumptious! Thank you for sharing this awesome recipe!

[@MindOverMunch]

Awesome, thank you so much for trying it out!! So glad it was tasty :)

[@HealthyGroceryGirl]

Great video! Love all of these recipes!

[@MindOverMunch]

thank you!!

[@traceyzvirblis4909]

Alyssia you're amazing. Tasty, budget friendly & nutritious...these recipes/ideas are good for when the budgets really tight but when you still need substance & flavour. Thank you very much xo

[@MindOverMunch]

Thank you so much!

[@sarahr.1076]

I would love to see more videos like tihs. As a students I love this video with cheap and easy meals.

[@Sasafras06]

Wow! A very compelling video! Thank you for participating in this campaign and sharing your results with us

[@MindOverMunch]

my pleasure, thank you so much! :)

[@infinitycupcake]

I'm so glad MindOverMunch is putting out more vegan options.

[@ms.coleman8403]

I know right

[@MindOverMunch]

I have been including vegan recipes and options for a long time and will continue to do so :) Cheers

[@purplepuma123]

I tried the sweet potato soup yesterday and it was so good. I added about a half cup more water and it was still very thick and luscious! Will finish it for lunch and will add more water to thin it out a bit more. Thanks a million for a simple recipe that's super delectable. Still want to try the lentils! Can't wait, maybe tomorrow.

[@MindOverMunch]

yay! I am so glad you enjoyed :) Much love!

[@creamy0bear]

Thank you so much for participating in this challenge! truly an important cause.

[@MindOverMunch]

I really appreciate that, thank you for watching!

[@FreckleFinance]

I'm really glad you didn't leave it as a simpler challange to keep it on budget but also took nutrition into account as well as you also made the food options very different in flavouring!

[@MindOverMunch]

:) Thank you!! Yes, when designing meals for an entire day I think it's so important to at least acknowledge the nutrition, even if I couldn't get it as perfect as I would have liked, I am really happy with the recipes and am so glad to bring awareness to the campaign :) Much love!

[@julieebeaaan]

Lentils cooked in a pressure cooker take about a third of the time of cooking them in a pot! Beans also don't take very long either in the pressure cooker. If you're ever in a hurry and don't want to use the canned stuff, I recommend investing in a pressure cooker! :) You know, wanna follow those indian roots ;)

[@MindOverMunch]

Great tip! Thank you!

[@stagemomx3]

The sweet potato soup looks amazingly simple and yummy, it's definitely going into my dinner menu rotation to try.

[@stagemomx3]

I also noted in my planner to participate in the September FeedONE challenge.

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! Thank you so so much, I really appreciate it and I know the kids will too!

[@paulareilly912]

The lentil meal is commonly cooked in the Caribbean with yellow lentils...they call it dhal peas rice or kitri. Goes great with some fried ripe plantains and fish.

[@MindOverMunch]

awesome! Love it!

[@SipsforSupper]

Love this episode! You never fail to entertain, amuse and educate us!

[@Schaly]

I think what's so great about these particular ingredients is that they are pretty versatile. The oats, PB, and bananas alone can be done a few different ways if you're not a pancake fan. I enjoy baked oats a lot and you can kinda make a neat baked oat bar with just oats and bananas. The red lentils can be added to the soup to change it's flavour and potatoes to the rice. Everything here is super interchangeable, so you don't have to feel like you're eating the same thing over and over again, especially with the addition of the spices.

[@MindOverMunch]

YES so versatile!! Glad you're seeing how you can mix things up :)

[@ShayanKalladan]

I tried out the pancakes recipe and it was a hit with my family! And super easy to make! We have a flavor of instant oats we don't particularly like so it was a great way to use some of that up!

[@MindOverMunch]

yay, that is awesome!! thank you :)

[@joeckelly88]

More budget friendly vegan meals please! We made the breakfast and lunch this week and they're amazing recipes!
