[@diliac2809]

Where do you buy you instant pot?

[@antoleb8293]

good you have e restaurant? HAHA

[@melissagarcia7824]

Loved the corn chowder! It was delishius

[@hannahwerner2249]

The only açaí Powder I could find that’s affordable is frozen, will that still work for this recipe?

[@septimiusthedestroyer7394]

Ur pretty

[@yellowobject]

I like how despite you working from home, you haven't forgotten how difficult it is to transport some foods. I've seen meal preps from food bloggers that are so unrealistic to real-world scenarios, but yours are always good and easy to take on the go!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

thank you! I do try to keep this in mind :)

[@kaitbleeker]

I cannot thank you enough for your videos, i am not vegan (vegetarian) but you make me 90% vegan, because I always get inspired by youu! Thaaaanks!

[@sunflower3020]

I get u ! I am vegeterizn but really she is making me vegan!

[@heatherrude8545]

Stumbled upon your videos through a KZbin meal prep rabbit hole, and I'm so glad I did. I so appreciate inexpensive, plant-based meal ideas from a fellow student without tons of time or money. Thank you!!

[@alliespaulding2749]

Been eating plant based for 3 weeks now and i love it! Hoping to go vegan slowly but surely!!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

amazing! Good for you :)

[@annabeahm4264]

Your videos like these have helped me realize how easy it is to make yummy, healthy food to take to work!

[@nickgriffith6488]

Meal-Prep videos are so helpful! I am in college and mostly do all of my meal prepping on Sunday!

I've been a vegetarian my whole life, but I'm trying to go fully plant-based, so these videos are helping me so much! 💞

[@juliabirner4948]

Seriously I LOVE how you cook oil free, salt free and sugar free with healthy whole foods. I needed your videos in my life!!

[@destinywilliams6964]

I’ve been watching this video for 5 years now and making the corn soup and I love this recipe. Thank you for teaching me how to cook.

[@leafm1181]

nice i eat a lot of rice and if you could do variations with rice I would like that

[@Hey-Mr.DJ_PlayThatSong]

@reina I buy the royal blend rice it’s fun

[@patriciacalderon92]

Duuudee, i tried out the corn chowder recipe and it was sooooo good. I’m definitely adding this to my list of bomb ass vegan recipes.

[@erinsmakes2933]

If you have done this already lmk but what about a Vegan stock your freezer for winter sort of challenge. You know how during the winter you just want cozy recipes and stuff that gets even better when frozen and reheated? I know easy things like soups and chilis are go to's but I like to cook ahead once a month and stock my freezer so would love some vegan options.

[@Rokkiteer]

I just made that cashew-chipotle mayo thing. It's SOOOOO good. I had to stop myself from eating it as is. I took a little bit off and mixed it with nutritional yeast. Yeah, that really works as well

[@legacyandrea2250]

I LOVE how you showed what the chia seeds did and your voice is sooo ASMR but i love your videos i even invested in the alarm clock you have i love it!!

[@francescabosco7619]

You are one of the best Vegan people I know! Absolutely love all your recipes!

[@mariahking732]

You're so inspiring! I just moved out of my parents house and I come to your channel for good inexpensive vegan recipes. I loveeee everything you post and love how waste conscious you are. Just know I watch you weekly! Love youuu

[@alexyncervantes7423]

i’ve been loving your videos! i’ve been vegetarian since july i think & being vegan is something that i’ve always wanted to do, and watching your videos make it seem so much more achievable!!!

[@Juul1asGames]

Your recipe recording setup is NeXT LEVeL girl

[@aliese66]

I make a recipe really similar to the first one but I use quinoa, a pack of taco seasoning or red enchilada sauce (not peppers), and I put the cilantro and red onion in the corn. Sometimes I eat it in a taco instead of a bowl too. I need to try tht mayo tho it sounds good.

[@Lifes1BeautifulRide]

I can never get tired of meal prep videos

[@kabatdraws]

Hi Caitlin! I really enjoy your recipes and dedication so I'm only saying this as a friendly tip to try and help you improve! :) Sometimes I got the feeling you don't write down what you're gonna say. It's kinda cute how you manage to squeeze the word "video" five times within the first 30 seconds but after dozens of your videos, it might seem like much. Also, I can tell you're a big fan of tex-mex cuisine but would you consider throwing in some other vibes every now and then? There are so many tasty inspirations - for example in French, Italian, Balkan or Asian cuisine. I would love to see your ideas on those! Keep up the good work

[@aly4599]

It’s 1 in the morning and I’m drooling...

[@juliamcdermott6458]

I've been trying to go vegan for months now but always stopped because I felt that I wasn't getting enough to eat. Im so glad I found your channel and amazing recipes that aren't just smoothies!

[@cece_yen]

prepped your black bean burrito bowl recipe for my lunch this week, its my first meal prep ever. fingers crossed it turns out good!

[@caydendenny3517]

hey caitlin! just made your vegan corn chowder! i didnt have any cream cheese. so i whipped some up. with nasty cashews!!!! so i used coconut milk instead, & it was amazing!!!! i also added in shredded carrots

[@lcr5910]

I actually suck at cooking brown rice...a tutorial of how you get yours so fluffy would be nice

[@NuraM444]

L CR yes same! Please show us I’m so bad at cooking brown rice

[@davielawrence3773]

Use 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water. Use a lid and bring the rice to a boil, then reduce the heat. Once the water is soaked the rice should be finished. Put a cloth dish towel under the lid for a few minutes, this should remove steam and make the rice more fluffy.

[@SherbertLime]

Davie Lawrence is spot on with their advice. My only addition is invest in a rice cooker. It doesn't even have to be a top notch one. I purchased this little $15 rice cooker from Walmart a few years back and it makes rice perfect every single time. 2 cups water, 1 cup brown rice.

[@sarahnedved1815]

Without sounding pretentious, a rice cooker is a godsend. I saved a little extra $$ and got one, complete game changer, because I SUCKED at making rice.

[@hannahashley2882]

I always love your content. Do you plan on making a Zero Waste conclusion video where you talk about what you plan to continue to implement and what you won't do?

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Hannah Ashley yes, I mentioned this in the pinned comment

[@zinavanlandingham5753]

OMG! I so want to “thumbs up” this video so many times! I’m thrilled to find a corn chowder recipe & feel like I could just reach through the screen & give a big ole hug for sharing it with us! 😁

[@Whatsername4224]

Definitely prepping those burrito bowls next week for lunch!

[@antovillagran836]

thank you! I cooked this today and it looks so tasty! I used quinoa instead of rice so I hope it tastes as good as the one you made.

[@taliaowens5578]

I LOVE this video. You’re so good at explaining things. Personally I am not so great at cooking. Don’t even ask me how many times I’ve caught my oven on fire... but this video gives me inspiration to cook more!

[@dfrenchorn]

Girl, we made the Corn Chowder and it was SOOO good! But her terms are just a wee bit off. But she does a really good job of explaining what she's doing anyway!

[@Sh33naW0lf3]

I enjoy your meal prepping videos as it is so rare to find quality vegan prep ideas. Do you have any ideas for low carb high protein meal prepping? For those of us that are cutting back on carbs but still need to meat protein goals for fitness training goals.

[@TheNicoleEmmett]

Starting university next week and am for sure going to incorporate these meal preps! Great video! 😄💕

[@alexclark877]

Caitlin, I love you! Corn casserole is my favorite thanksgiving side, and I can't wait to try this YUMMY looking chowder. You're a huge inspiration for healthy living and your calm voice makes your videos such a joy to watch. I wish you could have your own food network show!!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

ooooh! corn casserole sounds amazing hehe

[@sinac369]

I know it’s a process but im going vegan and this video really did help a lot. Thank you so much! I loved most ingredients you use in your recipes.

[@Mawad7]

I'm going to be so hungry after this video

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

I was hungry while editing it tooo!

[@tuckyoubch]

your videos are so helpful!! I'm slowly trying to make the transition to eating vegan. These videos are practical and easy to follow! Keep up the good work :)

[@mrsmagicalmonica]

More meal prep videos please! I love these. You’re amazing.

[@LinetteArroyo]

I think this is my favorite recipe video that you’ve ever made! These all look so good. ☺️

[@cinnastar13]

Probably the only vegan youtuber who does mex or texmex inspired vegan food right!!!

[@suzyamaral5968]

I'm Brazilian. I love açaí. It's funny you find there in powdered

[@elainekim2704]

the bean and rice recipe looks amazing for a quick take out meal

[@emmart9061]

Have actually tried the chia pudding myself! Amazing recipes ☀️

[@mariedrapalova7365]

I love this! As someone who is transitioning from western diet to heavily plant based I must say that one should take it slow because the amount of fiber in these dishes is very high. Just saying for those people that are not used to this... :) It might cause constipation

[@fashionluvr15]

Or a lot of bloating/gas in my case 🙊

[@kelseyt9717]

Looks great! I should try making more chia based breakfasts for meal prep. I eat a lot of overnight oats during my work weeks haha, so some variation would be nice. I'm definitely going to make something similar to your recipe for breakfasts soon! Thanks for the video :)

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Yes, it's always nice to switch things up! I also have a recipe for some sweet potato breakfast bowls on my blog you might want to check out :)

[@kelseyt9717]

I'll have to try those out too! They look yummy! Thanks for the inspiration

[@Shannonsense]

These all looked amazing! I have never tried making corn chowder, but yours looks amazing! Burrito bowls are such a staple!

[@sami9651]

I just made the corn chowder (added some lentils for more protein and some summer squash) and dang girl this recipe is bomb!!

[@birtecarstens1666]

I actually just got into mealprep, so this is perfect timing. For sure going to make the soup next sunday. Looks so yummy. Love from germany :)

[@jordenmarie588]

Those chia puddings are adorable!!

[@povnayeli]

Can you do plant based vegan teenager school lunch ideas/ breakfast ideas. Preferably fast and easy for lazy vegan teenagers like me. 😂💕

[@danip4211]

its_n you should check out A chill vegan here on KZbin. Her “what I eat in a week” videos are super informative and entertaining!

[@RockyLuvsJonghyun]

There’s a channel that has “cheap lazy” in it. She’s a great person 👍🏾

[@barbarellla1553]

@@RockyLuvsJonghyun Rose, Cheap Lazy Vegan - yes, I love her too

[@beeparadise9631]

Couscous with corn, black beans, and avocado

[@princessvictome439]

Yeah i think her older videos have that

[@Marie-ut4ht]

that corn chowder though, I gotta stop being so lazy and prep all this food!!

[@goddessshehrizah7531]

[@zenamartinson]

how do you store your chopped veggies to last? would love a video on that!!

[@catherinekenworthy4480]

This is amazing, using this meal prep for next week!! 🙏🙏

[@carolinavilla7170]

Omg you make me want to be Vegan. I’m going to buy your recipe ebook and give it a shot.

[@joannea6337]

The blending shia cheeds is a probs a good idea ... i don't mind the chia see texture but i do know alot of people who will try my chia pudding and think the texture is too weird

[@maja__5047]

Additionally, you absorb the nutrients way better when blending up the chia seeds. Win-win!

[@goveganrecipes]

it's amazing how many good ideas you have for eating!

[@sonnithehungryyogi4458]

Yummmm. Will be making the chia acai bowls this upcoming week and that corn chowder (ohmygawd). Great video!

[@MaverickBaking]

That corn chowder sounds perfect.

[@theowensthree]

What kind of granola were you using in this video for acai chia bowls ? It looks so good!

[@titaemira]

Yes. Love vegan easy meal prep videos!!

Totally going to make the chowder. Wow yum. 🤤

[@helgab2741]

Hi Caitlin, love your videos, so artistic! This older new vegan is trying many of your recipes and they always come out good. Nothing like god food to stay on this lifestyle. I have a mini instant pot. Do you cook in a 3 or 6 quart one? Should I just cut all the ingredients in half? Thanks for your good work 😊

[@anuravindranath8733]

All the recipes are so creative! Good job! 😁

[@mariebenefiel8688]

the fruit bowl looks so good

[@melissagarcia7824]

Corn shower soup is amazing! Live it!!

What's the first ingredient?

[@MsIffyk]

Thanks Caitlin. I just made this its SO GOOD.

[@MsIffyk]

Sorry I meant the chowder. Soooooo good!

[@valeriakitty12]

I’m Mexican and Mexican food can be intimidating to cook lol but since holiday season is coming up, would you be interested in doing Mexican inspired food? Aka vegan tamales rojos & verdes? OR VEGAN CONCHAS?!? PLEASE! Lol sorry, I just got so excited lol

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

oooh that is definitely hard! Actually my roommates is working on a vegan conchas recipe and so far they are SOOO good!

[@deirdrestrickland4047]

[@amandag8356]

The corn chowder is soooo good! Love your channel Caitlin💛

Ooooh. Looks yummy. Could I substitute the (vegan) cream cheese with greek yoghurt?

[@camilletakiguchi]

Omg that spatula is so cute!!! Where’d you get it??

[@fabioramirez8195]

These recipes look BOMB! Can’t wait to make that corn chowder! Thanks for sharing! 😊

[@LuxajinEgo]

I just want to ask, I'm newly transition to being 100% vegan. My biggest worry is the meal prep I make for the week would ruin the freshness of the food? I cook on a sunday night and just chuck all breakfast and lunch meals in the fridge. Get em when I need em and just heat in the microwave. In the ones you;ve shared here how long will they last? For how many days can I keep them in the fridge without them spoiling?

[@bad1788]

Love vegan meal prep videos.

[@micahb8818]

Everything sounds amazing! Thank you so much for the creative recipes.

[@BeingLovely24x7]

You are introducing me well to vegan cooking in the west..

[@Bubbagoose18]

Caitlin, I just found you and I'm excited. I've been vegan for about 9 years but have been struggling with food prep lately because I'm disabled now. I think once-a-week prep, with some help from family, is the way to go. The only problem is, where do I find your recipes? I followed the only link, to your Pinterest pages, but for instance, I want to know the amounts for the ingredients for the chipotle mayonnaise. It would take me forever to find that in all those Pinterest links! Could you please tell me how I can find recipes, for instance for this particular video? I really, really want to make the chipotle mayonnaise almost immediately, so that I have it for burrito bowls. Please help!!! Also, can you advise… How long do you soak cashews for, anyway? I don't have an expensive vita mix, but I do have a Bullitt. I love your videos, and I am looking at all the ones I want to watch, but it won't help unless I can find something with amount of ingredients. Thank you so much

[@kaiseeb]

I love these! I'm totally trying these next week 😁
