I’m not a vegan but your channel has encouraged me to eat more plant based.

[@Simnettnutrition]

That's awesome!

[@ashleyschmidt2413]

Same here! 🙂

I’m vegan, but your channel has encouraged me to get juiced up.

Woohoo! That’s amazing !

[@reneebradford2885]

I became a vegan two weeks ago it started because I could no longer afford meat and dairy but I praise God it's the best thing I've ever done I feel so energized and finally starting to lose weight I never thought at 50 I could feel this good

[@womanofacertainage5892]

That's awesome that you are feeling better! Glad to hear it and wish you the very best!

[@Simnettnutrition]

That's awesome! thanks for sharing :)

[@JimmyStruthers-lb3sn]

If you did it because you didn’t have money then that’s just a plant based diet. Vegan is an ethical position, a lifestyle. You are plant based just not a vegan.

[@ronnibee254]

@JimmyStruther go easy on her, she just started two weeks ago, sometimes it takes time to figure it all out. I started out for my health and then became aware of more and more reasons to call myself vegan. I would never go back even if it hadn't affected my health positively

[@womanofacertainage5892]

I'd invite you to consider why you needed to make this comment.

[@erberry1]

Oh, you two are precious. I retired in 2014, discovered pickleball and have been playing ever since. About 5 hours a week and it is absolutely everything to me. The people I've met are like family and I'm 74 so that's important to me. Thanks so much for keeping me on track. Movement and a plant based diet hopefully will keep me going many more years.

[@Kx____]

i can just listen to you talk about food for hours it's just somehow so nice to listen to someone who is as passionate about it as i am. thanks for another fun video

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks so much, that means a lot!

Your channel is the best Derek. Been watching you for years and youve provided me with positive energy and healthy habits for a long time now. I always rekommend your channel to family and friends. Thank you and keep doing what youre doing. Youre improving lives.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)

[@olgayanulevich3930]

Totally agree, I feel the same way 👍

[@maximilianomoretto258]

I tried cauliflower steak and lion's mane steak over the weekend with non vegan friends hosting a bbq. Made some fresh chimichurri and butter bean spread. Everyone loved it. Even more than some of the meat items. Highly recommend for those vegans going into bbqs. Easy to make and cheaper than real meat or beyond meat

[@sharonbond140]

I’m in Australia so I usually get to see your videos on Sunday morning which is great as I get some fabulous inspiration for my healthy prep for the week

[@ApteraPioneer]

I don't re-hydrate my soy curls in water separately. I find they get soft enough just by adding them to broth or sauces I cook with or steaming them with vegetables (instant pot), and they absorb more flavor and end up less soggy.

[@sharonknorr1106]

So I do rehydrate first, in hot water or broth, and then squeeze out all the moisture - you can see all the yellow stuff that comes out and I don't really like that soy flavor. Then I marinate for a least 30 minutes, or longer, squeeze out a little of the excess and then cook. Those who don't mind the soy flavor (I'm not a fan of straight-up tofu either) probably don't need the extra step. But if you do try soy curls and think they have a funny taste, try the double hydration before dismissing them. They are so versatile in many dishes.

[@suede0510]

Oh wow! Interesting. Thanks for that tip I will try that.

[@pelkawiltshire4348]

so agree that eating at home when you are a good cook is better than eating out, especially if one is vegan! Butler soy curls are fabulous.

[@cosmological_yat23]

I am 17, and well i have dived into the realm of veganism a lot lately? I was really looking up for some good channels with tasty meal preps, and luckily I have barged into yours, one of the best channel out there, definitely recommended to my friends as well, and I really love the enthusiastic cooking, I gotta try this! Thank you

[@Authorthings]

Might I also suggest Cheap Lazy Vegan. Definitely not always the healthiest, but lots of good ideas there too

a trick to the powdered peanut butter is to add a teaspoon of real peanut to the mixture. really boosts the flavour for minimal calories

oh good call!

Crystal is like me, always giggling! Lol the kids in my classes growing up said i was always smiling and giggly 😂 It just makes life more fun

[@olgayanulevich3930]

When I first came across their video a couple of weeks ago, I forwarded it to my son, said to him, it's a great video, just ignore the giggling 😊. Now I can't wait to see Crystal in it. She is just such a natural positive addition to the project, amazingly sweet and beautiful. Thanks for the amazing work those two are doing ❤

[@MindKeys]

Whenever I see your videos, I instantly stop everything to watch them, love your videos and it has really helped me eat healthier. I've even lost 8kg this year so far. Just wanted to say a big thank you!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you! 🙏 😊 Good on yah for making some healthy changes! You know I love to hear it.

[@juliaparry-hill7509]

Love seeing Crystal in the videos. Fit vegan couple goals!

[@BaidaArabians]

Thanks for paying homage to Saskatchewan farmers :) The Three Farmers products are very good! I make my own chickpea (lentil, bean, etc.) snacks. We are growers so it's extremely economical and easy for me to source the goods. I simply walk out to the bins. lol. We are blessed to be able to grow the majority of what we eat.

[@BaidaArabians]

You can make your own homemade PB cups and they taste as good as the Reese's. I have a yard full of nettle growing wild on the farm and I harvest it and make tea as well. I do the same with dandelion, rose hips, thistle, chickweed, raspberry leaves, herbs, etc. I was appalled when I saw what people pay for these in the store since most farmers have an abundance of them that they would love to get rid of!

[@healthspanalete]

it's actually really helpful hearing about you (who seems to be always and forever in perfect shape!), wanting to trim down a little bit and seeing how you're going about it.

[@benjamin_herrera805]

Thanks for sharing! Your channel has really helped me over the past few years with vegan food and fitness. Love having someone tell me I look fit and then telling them I’m vegan after asking what the secret is, their brains can’t comprehend 😂

[@olgayanulevich3930]

Derek definitely has a talent to get you interested in things you never thought you will try, or just being lazy to try

[@ivp2708]

I drool 🤤 soooo much while watching your videos. Love the way you present your food, very restaurant quality style. Also, i detox with Nettle tea every year in spring time, picking fresh neetle leaves, just the top bits (new young ones), putting them in boiling water... yum, i love the taste. Usually, i drink around 1l a day for about 2-3 weeks.... Keep doing the good work, love your channel 👏 😊

[@PATTIPEPA]

I make a concoction of two heaping tablespoons PB 2 and one regular tablespoon peanut butter and mix them together with some water. It taste great, and is way less calories and fat. It lasts for more than one day, I usually eat peanut butter toast every morning with a small bowl of soup for breakfast, it usually last me about three days.

[@fjodormordvintsev1649]

This channel was my first motivation to go full plant-based. You show it so simple and i just love the things you do, guys! Watch it on a daily basis =)

[@Simnettnutrition]

Amazing! Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate you man! So glad I could be part of you going plant based. 👍

[@the_derpler]

My fav meal of the day is my breakfast. It's steel cut oats, unsweetened almond milk, banana, strawberry and a scoop of peanut butter powder.

[@olgayanulevich3930]

Thanks a lot for another day of love and life celebration! You are such an inspiration to me❤

[@Ksandie]

I giggle all the time, too, Crystal! It’s joyful to listen to yours. As always, love the video guys. ❤

[@leannegabriel]

Have you ever considered listing the ingredients when you do this? I l absolutely love your channel and a lot or your recipes but it is so hard to catch it all on the video. Other channels with meal prep videos list the ingredients in the description box. Not sure if you are open to that, but it would be sooooo helpful!

[@chopin65]

You two make the perfect couple. I love your positive message. It makes You Tube a good place. Bless you both.

[@lorileeharrison461]

To help transition to powdered peanut butter , Healthy Vegan Mama suggests adding a tiny amount of regular peanut butter to the mix to give it your true peanut butter flavor then reduce that amount until you’re using just the powder. It really does help! Thanks for your wonderful content and meal ideas!

[@BozalliCopter]

that wrap meal looked so, so good

[@austinholbrook-i2q]

My wife and I have recently picked up pickleball, it has become quite popular here in Indiana. It is a great time!

[@Thatcntrygirl1]

Yes. Always always always wash and squeeze the curls until the water squeezes clear. It removes the off taste but main thing is if you squeeze them dry and add to the pan they will absorb ALL the seasonings you want them to take on without the off taste ..

[@caitlinh8613]

Derek and Crystal, the ultimate vegan inspiration hub! 💪 The theme you set at the start of the vid is so timely as I am floating halfway between dad-bod and aesthetic-bod and I've realised I need to ditch all the sugary processed snacks that market themselves as healthy aka cereal bars, processed vegan snacks etc and get as many wholefoods in as possible. Salted popcorn and flavoured seaweed snacks, however, are staying in for now 😇

[@TerriSS55]

A friend was coming to the US from Europe last summer and I had her bring me some Vegan Kit Kats. I did like them. I could never find them here. Seeing this video caused me to check again. I see they are now available on Amazon!!

Thise little snacky things that Crystal likes go super well on things that are otherwise not crunchy or have less texture. I like to add spicy dried pea / legume mix onto things like stir fry or Buddha bowls.
