He’s endearing

You are the only youtuber who is a inspiration in all aspects....every thing you post is lovable ......and you are so real man just be like that always ....you are just awesome.😊😎🙂😇🤠

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks brother!

[@madamplant]

I agree! Love Crystal, too!💖

[@madamplant]

Lmao!

Isn't he just adorbs, all day long? If my husband was like him, I could drop dead today, and be happy to be on my way.

I know! Love him to pieces!

“You won’t taste it, it just adds a really nice flavor” - Derek Simnett from Simnett Nutrition on the topic of blackstrap molasses

[@Simnettnutrition]

haha you got me :p

[@tamimsyed4038]

The master vegan chef can say what he wants :D

[@callmeaoife5676]

I actually get what he means though, I hate the flavor of ginger but when I put it in my smoothie it completely transforms the flavor without obviously tasting of ginger

[@consciousobserver629]

If you soak several cups of dates then the water is BOMB. Makes the most incredible cashew milk. 1 c date water 2 c water 1 c cashews Tastes like heaven!! 🤩🥛

[@dilyara1985]

Wow ! Thanks, definitely gonna try it!

[@sluggo206]

Yes, the water you need is right there in the date water. This is the biggest thing I forget. I make soup stock intending to put it in eveything, and then I forget and put water in my dry rice or pasta or tomato paste.

[@danielalejandrolopez8980]

Yessssss Let's goooo my favorite sauce with my favorite KZbinr

[@jimmyfan9462]

As a 19 years old young adult, I developed hypochondria last year, they ruined my days and sleep. Nausea, palpitations, constipation, anxious feeling and fear daily. My anxiety levels are going to normal these days, and I am gradually becoming "better" and "normal" recently. After watching your videos, you inspired to eat cleaner, healthier, and just better. Unfortunately, I still eat meat, but definitely cleaner than before. I cut out KFC, McDonald's, pizzas, and just all kinds of junk food. I ate much more veges and fruits and did incorporate your recipe once in awhile. I do not smoke and drink at all and will never touch them. I just want to thank you for your videos, and pls do more of them. Love from Vancouver Richmond : )

[@elahalilovic1954]

I had the same too, i had hypochondira and ocd. Breathe. Change your diet, check the people you surround yourself with, check your self talk and practice meditation or any form of mindfulness. Force your focus on constructive things.(reading, studying,cleaning, singing) It gets better gradually if you are consistent. I went from paranoia and vomitting stomach juice every other minute during my run and gagging on every metro station to not have the sensation or need to vomit any more.

[@Theo-1984]

Good luck! I had panic attacks in 2018 and went vegan at the end of 2019.

[@sshane1986]

I like to add fruit puree to bbq sauce sometimes, my favourite is cherry puree.

[@FilipElfvin]

Pro zero waste tip here: that cup of water you added after blending the sauce, add it to the blender AFTER emptying it and then shake it to get all of that remaining sauce out.

[@ApexHerbivore]

nice

[@pda2836]

I was thinking the exact same thing -- try to get every last drop!! :)

[@debbiel1228]

Also, you could have used the water you soaked the dates in 😉

[@gabecavalheiro]

You have no ideia how much you’ve been helping me with all your recipe videos (and also your videos about your lifestyle). It has been a few months now that I’m vegan and I’m feeling so good! Thanks for all! Hugs from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@lisamarielindenschmidt649]

Just made the non-cooked version of this and added a couple of huge handfuls of sunflower seeds and a bit more water and ended up with a creamy BBQ sauce! SO GOOD!

[@edyann]

I just woke up and I'm hungry now! 😄🙈

[@injunsun]

Start with mirepoix, sauteed long enough for the carrots to soften, and the onions caramelise, adding minced garlic three minutes before the onions are done. Then do the rest, minus the onion and garlic powders. Also, adding balsamic vinegar to the mirepoix makes magick. You can (should) also add diced bell (especially orange) peppers with the garlic. My sauce is the best you've never had. I can make shoe leather taste like Memphis fine dine. Vegan leather, of course. Preferably minus the nasty foot.

[@joncheng4255]

I'm loving the editing (or lack thereof) in your recent videos. It's humbling to see you leave in bloopers or tell yourself you can do a part better, pause for a second, and go straight into it! Not to mention it's pretty funny too 😄 Anyway.. loving the sauces, keep 'em coming!

[@stephboogie00]

I’ve been inspired by you for some time now but to find out you’re just as young as me is SO motivating!!!

[@susaniaccino2565]

I made your recipe this morning. I don't have liquid smoke so I doubled the smoked paprika as you suggested. I saved the water from the soaked organic Mejooled dates and used the measured amount as you suggested. I use BBQ sauce with raw almonds. I coat about 1 cup at a time then microwave in a glass bowl for a minute. I stir the almonds and put back in the microwave for another minute. I watch so that the sauce doesn't burn. When the almonds make a popping sound I definitely stop. Then I put them on a plate to cool. I bag them up & give as gifts. My family loves them. Up until now, I have not been able to find a BBQ sauce that was tangy enough without high fructose corn syrup. Your recipe will work. I could even add some Sriracha for extra heat. BBQ sauce works on raw walnuts, pecans, etc. BTW, I love you & Crystal. You 2 are a great team. Keep up the great work.

[@kimweaver6590]

OMG! This is legit BBQ sauce

[@lauraorso2539]

I love the little blooper bits that you keep in the video, they make me laugh 😂❤️!! Also just FYI, I like every single one of your videos I’ve ever watched and will continue to do so! You’re my favorite KZbinr, thank you for your contributions to the internet and all our lives :)!

[@kitt7082]

This reminds me of when i made enchilada sauce. I discovered that it's basically just a bunch of peppers. Just throw a bunch of chili, paprika and cayenne in some vegetable stock with spices and i think there was a tomato somewhere in there... i can't remember because i didn't write it down... but it was good.

[@Jose-ti4ws]

[@hez01]

You're really onto something here! Recreating recipes can seem difficult but you make it easy. Thanks for this one and the queso recipe!

[@jontethetall]

Keep in mind that double dipping shortens the shelf life drastically!

[@andreawalker7138]

That's a good tip, but I doubt food lasts that long in Derek's house, lol.

[@jontethetall]

@@andreawalker7138 haha true 👌🏼😂

[@ghosttoast6317]

Using dates is a genius idea. Just made this and it turned out really well, thanks man!

[@Fluuuv]

Love this recipe. I added a little of caramelized white onions and a dash of vegan Worcestershire sauce.

[@Brandie-Nicole]

Lol the bloopers! 😆 I loved your queso sauce and want to try this one too!

[@CHEFAJ]

Would you like to cook on my show?

[@tmbe_official]

yes, why not ;)

[@garyharnish2395]

With these sauces and the jackfruit, and tofu, nobody would miss meat and cheese. Great job, love the channel.

[@maryschmidt8570]

Thank you SO much. Was going to ask what brand healthy to buy but empowering to make our own healthy food! Thanks for everything- life changing for me!

[@n-matter305]

thanku too much from Colombia!

[@stephaniesayre6434]

You are just awesome and you crack me up. Informative and entertaining. Thank you. Your channel is my favorite.

[@musegreek5308]

This is the best video ever!

[@TheAvaiator23]

Great recipe love your energy and your channel

[@ingrid6791]

Hey Derek! Just wanted to let you know that I appreciate how you test the recipes multiple times before making a video to give us the best recipes. I know a lot of youtubers who don't. Now I can save some time on experimenting with recipes, because I know you already did it for us 😃

[@Mialuvsveggies]

Absolutely LOVE these make it at home recipe videos. I don’t purchase bbq sauce because I truly wouldn’t use it frequently enough before it goes bad so making it at home (with all this stuff I do, in fact, always have on hand) is AMAZING! I can totally scale down your recipe so I only make what I need and it’s SO much healthier 💖🙏🙏🙏

[@otiliatibljas2814]

Just made this, it's soooooo good!!! I added a large dried anchovy chili. Seriously amazing tasting BBQ sauce. Thank you for posting this.

[@otiliatibljas2814]

*Ancho Chili, NOT Anchovy. 😂

[@selinamallon5596]

You are a breath of fresh air! Keep doing what you are already doing. I love your KZbin channel more than any other! And Crystal is amazing in how she organises and supports you, not that you need it of course 😁. I love your travel vids too! Love love love! Selina xx

[@lauraorso2539]

Also curry bbq sounds daaaaank!!

[@christineclements6384]

Loving your recipes ❤

[@Barlovento2005]

Brian Turner and Simnett uploading videos within hours of each other. Great day indeed.

[@alishamccully3727]

I've been making my own barbecue sauce for years because a lot of them used to have red dye 40 in them and my son is allergic but I really like your version I can't wait to try it out.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy Alisha!

[@ellenhomeister7374]

Love to drink a mug of hot water and stirred into it, a teaspoon of black strap molasses. I also love ginger bread.

[@melrox8809]

I been waiting for this video 😋 barbecue sauce is one of my favorite condiments lol. I definitely have to try your recipe thanks Derek👍

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks Mel!

[@madamplant]

Lol! I have date paste. That should work, too! Now I want a Beyond Burger for breakfast!! Yum!

[@annettegarcia1950]

Sounds really good.. can't wait to try it!

[@apriljones2492]

You are awesome! Your energy is everything fabulous! I’m going to try this recipe! Stay awesome!

[@patriciaoflynn7050]

I'm so glad you made this recipe. My boyfriend and I bought a 5 kilo box of dates for the first time and I thought we would go through them faster. I did not realise they had to go in the fridge so now I really need to use them before they go bad. I am definitely going to try this out as I really want to do the mango salad dressing recipe. Perfect as we buy mangos by the box of 6 😄

[@solesantosbenavides1651]

So happy with this video 👏🏻👏🏻thannnnks

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrsMMcG]

Oooh, yeah! I will so make this! BBQ sauce is my favorite condiment! I’m thinking Derek, what if we sliced potatoes really thin, watered down the sauce a little and brushed it on and baked or air fried them as homemade BBQ chips? 😋 Thanks for your latest creation!! ❤️🌱❤️

[@alexandrapaquette2159]

You're so right about store bought BBQ sauces - they are full of salt, preservatives and they are pricey. If ever you don't have dates, you can use maple syrup!

[@KissyKat]

Awesome video and I can't wait to make that recipe!

[@cathybird9763]

Yes! Every time I use barbeque sauce, even homemade, I hate the idea of so much sugar. This is an exciting recipe; it goes into my recipe box along with the queso!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy Cathy :)

[@veronicasoto8020]

Those BBQ burgers look so good!

[@joshuabock3990]

Looks awesome, definitly gonna give it a try! I used to make some bbq sauce myself. I added one piece of dark chocolate or a tbsp of cacao powder. It did make it very rich and gave a nice (darker) color to it. Give it a try! Greatings from Germany!! :)

[@klkpush]

Love your videos! You are sooo fun to watch, you make cooking plant based so simple, fun and delicious 😋 Thanks 😊. My 5 year old grandson loves watching you on the pull up bar and trampoline!!!

[@MegaGreencarebear]

Looks delicious!

[@thedebatehitman]

I’ll give this a try.

Yum. I like to make big batches in my crockpot.

[@vedgeco1752]

Nice! Perfect for some vegan drum sticks!

[@julielocke8990]

Yum! Can’t wait to try it out!😋

[@freeemz]

You’re so effortlessly funny. I always enjoy watching your vids 💓

[@lisadebergerwheeler7306]

I can't wait to try this recipe. I was thinking, why couldn't you use the water used to soak the dates? Someone else made a great comment. Put the water into the blender after you've spooned it out? Put the blender on mix and you will get every drop out. That's actually how I clean my blender. Fill it with hot water a tiny drop of soap. Put it on mix, a quick rinse and it's clean! Another tip, when reducing the sauce use a double boiler. It's the bomb to keep things hot without worrying about your product from burning.

[@jentrees333]

You are such a wonderful young man. Crystal too. Thank you for your commitment to your life style.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks :)

[@Sarah-eb9rz]

How did you know I have been looking for a healthy bbq sauce?! So excited to make this! Oh and ever since you and Crystal shared your lasagna recipe...I make it all the time now, like weekly. So delicious!

I'm going to make this TODAY!

Hey Derek!! Thank you so much for delicious recipe.. 🙃🙏🏻🙏🏻🍀🌈🙂☘️🌿🍍

[@JamesKing2]

Made this for the first time today. Modified it a bit. I didn't have molasses, so I used sorghum. I added more water as we like our sauce a little more runny. Turned out AMAZING! Going to make bbq lentils to go over brown rice. I'll probably serve with a big salad. Thanks for all you do!

[@matthewHondalife]

Sweeetttt , going to try this out this weekend !!!!! mmmmmm

This looks amazing 😃👍

[@lukearengo-jones6166]

[@MikeEvansUK]

Tips from the Brits: Worcestershire, pronounced wus-ter-sher. Hope that helps.

[@nataliecat98nc]

Shire is usually pronounced more like 'sheer' in the UK

[@MikeEvansUK]

​@@nataliecat98nc I struggled with how to transcribe that bit. I'm from Gloucestershire, pronounced Gloss-ter-sher, or -shur or possibly -sheer. All are approximations and will depend on your regional accent. The main thing is that it is never shy-er. Shire is only pronounced shy-er when it is a stand-alone word.

[@nataliecat98nc]

@@MikeEvansUK Yeah it definitely isn't always easy to transcribe everything. Perhaps because I'm from East Anglia we pronounce differently? It makes me laugh when I hear 'shy-er' it reminds me of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit 😂

[@minecraftmum3436]

@@nataliecat98nc I used to chat on discord with someone from Nepal who didn't believe me when I said that regional accents varied so much in the UK - then he had his university graduation and couldn't wait to tell me that there were 3 different speakers from the UK there and they all sounded REALLY different :D

sooo glad the nacho cheese video introduced me to your channel. i've spent the last week watching as many of your backlist vids as i can! i'm a few weeks into my plant based journey and you/your recipes have made it even more awesome. thank you for doing what you do. thinking my closet needs a simnett nutrition hoodie...

[@MechLeander]

Dude, you are on fire with these sauces 😀

[@davidrodriguez6561]

I saw a video that you posted a year ago about what do vegans eat find out in my kitchen. I decided that starting tomorrow Tuesday after Labor Day that I’m going to make a switch for two weeks to see if I can handle going vegan. My concern is going to be more protein and also transitioning off beef chicken and pork. I’m very excited because at 47 years old I know that I want to clean out my system and at the same time have better skin stronger bones and most importantly, loose weight!! I am nervous and yet excited for the journey that’s ahead of me. I did subscribe and I also hit the bell so that way I can be on top and not fall back. One of my weakest problems is processed foods especially like pizza so I’m hoping that I would be able to find tricks to help fight the urge .

[@alexgharf]

I love blackstrap molasses! Great source of Iron and Calcium and even has magnesium, potassium and some B-Vitamins! I put it in my lemon water in the morning! Great recipe bro!!! I am a huge BBQ Sauce fan and I am a nerd for making sauces healthy so I can't wait to try this one!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Enjoy man!

[@claudinecrook6660]

Thanks 😊 going to make this now 👍

[@justinmorris8511]

I had to make a few changes because I didn’t have everything on the list, but this was RIDICULOUSLY good! The apple cider really sets it off with the bite. I didn’t have dates on hand, so I used pure maple syrup as the sweetener. Thank you for sharing!

[@MonicaB666]

Saving it! Thanks, Derek! :)

Right it’s very difficult to find a decent vegan barbecue sauce so thanks can’t wait to try☮️
