[@sabrinaagostini7248]

I love that smoothie i make it every morning!!thank you Mona!you beautiful by the way!😊😘

[@DrMonaVand]

Thank you so much!!

[@anamahmeddiaz9305]

Dr. Vand, how much ginger should we put in the smoothie for one serving?

[@marymoulton8329]

If you try to had a child want should you need to start eat

[@lisak4237]

You never show the food closely. Everything is so far away. It would be better if you zoom it in the focus, just as a little tip.

[@Ravi-ut7kk]

That's true Lisa, I agree

[@RichSymbol]

I wish you would zoom in on the food and show it up close. It’s hard to tell what it is and what it looks like from so far

[@DrMonaVand]

Tresjolie i will work on this :)

[@queenp7278]

Thank you sooo much for this video Dr. Mona! Not only did I make the smoothie this morning, but I also made quinoa oatmeal for breakfast #2!

Glad to see you aren't trying to pass off lemon water as alkaline on this video... Im not a MD, but I'm pretty sure if you put a pH stick in your lemon water it would be acidic. So good for you in revamping how you present your 1st thing in the morning hydration.

Hi! Just wanted you to know that you should still wash the "pre-washed" veggies yourself. There were multiple times I still found bugs inside of the box. I'm sure you'll find it at least a few times.

[@nishisaxena4831]

I buy organic so that I don’t hv to wash my veggies , ya I’m so lazy ..

[@shannastone7116]

You should look into a berkey water filter. They come in different sizes, and filters everything even flouride. You could take pond water and make it the purest water to drink. They are AMAZING!!!

Hi 👋 I am borderline diabetic and just started plant based. Can you make a video on the best eating plan? I am wondering what the best thing to eat for breakfast is for instance

[@saumyapant7729]

Hey Mona! You mentioned that you keep your smoothie for the next day. How do you store the smoothie so that it doesn’t get spoilt? How long can one store a smoothie? Thanks

[@elizabethcamping4444]

Thankyou, definitely going to try the smoothie, I'd love to eat my plant based, but I'm intolerant to so many foods, pulses, legumes and quinoa, and I try to avoid grains, I do eat mainly plant based and rely on nuts, but those salads look so yummy!

[@cleadbetter9911]

Hi Mona! Could you do a video of quick, healthy meal ideas for people who don't mind eating the same thing day to day (minimalist approach). Love your vids!! Xoxo

Hi Dr. Mona I was wondering if you could do a beginners guide to a plant based lifestyle I recently switched and don’t know if I should be taking any supplements/vitamins that are tailored to vegans/vegetarians

[@ellem4774]

Congrats on making the switch! Here is a great link to a wonderful resource; all the information is provided by Jack Norris, a registered dietitian. He also has a wonderful book that I will link, but perhaps this would be available through your library! veganhealth.org/tips-for-new-vegans/ www.amazon.ca/Vegan-Life-Everything-Healthy-Plant-Based/dp/0738214930 Hope this helps and best of luck!

[@mekameka9741]

Omg, I just realized who you were when you said " Persian Salad". I watch The Shaz of Sunset!!!!

[@TheEverythingYoville]

Spinach has oxalic acid which binds to calcium and prevents the absorption. It also can lead to kidney stones I think. Anyway idk if I would eat so much raw spinach, as it seems hard to digest. The beginning smoothie wasn’t very calorie dense and I could use more fats/protein.

[@mamat792]

Looking for the lentil salad recipe... It looks refreshing! Please share.

[@heatherscarlett4353]

[@shaunaleessnackidies]

Dr Gregor did a video about how stevia can cause dna issues/mutations. Not as safe as once though. Also, every youtuber should get one of those handy dandy lemon/lime squeeze contraptions. So much more juice and you don't have to get it all over your fingers/counters.

[@charlotteanderson7761]

Hey guys! So do you guys have any tips for eating healthy and not developing an eating disorder. About a year ago and decided to go healthy ended up getting obsessed and I developed anorexia. I want to be healthy but I’m scared of falling back into my unhealthy ways or getting obsessed. Any tips tips you may have I would really love to hear. Thanks!

Hi, Dr. Mona, I thought you mentioned you don't drink water with meals or there are disadvantages with drinking water while eating can you explain so more on the benefits?

I felt like you were "hard-selling" some these products... recipes seem to be very similar on your channel.

Great tip about sneaking the apple cider vinegar in on your salad. So simple, but I would have never thought to do it that way!

Hi Mona! I just found your videos and love them! I was wondering how much of this pasta salad your would eat for dinner?

[@Jupiter2261996]

You’re looking gorgeous, girl!!! Hello, Glamsterdam 😍

[@chelleloreto]

Loved this ☺️💗 question, If you’re intermittent fasting, about what time do you start eating in the morning? I do 16:8 pretty much every day, have been for ages (even by accident before I knew what IF was) but I love the idea of eating heaps of fruit in the morning...?

[@mariapisapia7791]

Can't wait to try...thank you.

[@misseee965]

You also mentioned traveling and protein bars? I was wondering about hydration as you travel? Have you heard of a product called liquid IV? It is Something you add to (powder pouch) water bottle that is suppose to double hydrate you? Do you think it's safe or good for you? As you travel by plane? Or even to help in the summer when you sweat more......

[@brian4019]

The human body has a system to let you know when you need to hydrate: it's called thirst. Yes, the bottled water industry has done a good job of convincing the public they always need to "stay hydrated", etc. But it's silly. It's not going to hurt you if you get a little dehydrated.

[@pennyrex9493]

I use Stevia, my daughter claims to not like it and uses locally made honey from the Amish community. I know you're vegan and do not use it. However I would rather she use honey than Sugar. Is honey any better for her than sugar is?

Cucumber and Tomato is traditional in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern culture but are a bad digestive combination. Every thing else is good. I'd go cucumbers and onion with cilantro and lemon or lime, olive oil

Enjoying your videos. Tried the quinoa recipe with a slight variation and am enjoying it. Going to try the red lentil salad.

[@anye76]

I'm a big fan of Banza. It's so good. The mouth feel is like regular semolina pasta. Never tried red lentils I will give it a try. Quinoa for breakfast...I hate oatmeal like I'm repulsed by it. Is the texture the same as cooked oats or is it still the quinoa texture?

Kayla Polman ok yes .. so basically this is a warning on ANY powder manufactured in California Bc of the manufacturing facilities. Has nothing to do with the individual product

[@brentworthington1491]

Hi Mona, so I've been watching your videos for about a month now and I feel like trying some of the ideas that you suggest. I come from a VERY "meat and potato" type of family so making the switch or transition is going to be hard. I am going to try baby steps and for sure not going to 100% give up on meat but I could use some alternatives now that I'm 40 and it seems harder to try and sustain weight and I guess I would call it overall bodily health with just exercise. Not to mention exercising like I used to do when I was in my 20s is next to impossible now lol. Anyway, I hope this makes sense cause I seriously never comment on things, but felt like I should let you know you are reaching out to guys like me in Texas, who recognize that you are not fake and have a genuine solid personality along with being funny at times too.

[@zs9710]

A few thoughts...The breakfast smoothie doesn’t seem that calorically dense, I don’t think it would fill a ton of people up. At best, it’s around 200 calories. Plus, using that much spinach everyday in a smoothie would lead one to buying it at least three times a week which isn’t super affordable (neither is buying cacao powder and monk fruit). I also think we should move away from demonizing food (“clean food”). What’s the alternative? I feel like that encourages placing food into categories and if we happen to eat those foods, people feel bad about themselves.

[@MLC-melons]

You can use frozen spinach for smoothies instead of fresh. Or buy a huge bag of fresh spinach from Costco and freeze the rest before it goes bad and use it later on. It's a lot cheaper. The same principle applies for frozen fruit. You can freeze banana chunks, berries, sliced apples etc. It's not that expensive this way and frozen lasts longer than fresh.
