I’m vegan but I was eating too much tofu and my dietician told me to cut back so I am looking for new sources that are soy free. Please maybe do a video on soy free sources? Love your videos!!! Especially meal prep ones! I bought livbody because of you

[@tammyt4959]

Did George happy grunt at 11:39 after saying “those sweet potatoes are so good” ??? 😂😂 I rewound it like 5 times and it just made me laugh every time. You guys are awesome!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Yes!!😂🤣

[@McWhorters416]

My worlds are colliding this is so cool!! I do pimped out purple carrot too! I try and lighten the oil and sometimes sugar, add some protein. I have a foot tall cookbook started over the years! Keep on it Natalie! Love this video. 🌱 💪🏼 🥕

[@robino941]

Tofu is my favorite. 💚 The Purple Carrot meals sound tasty!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Mine too!

[@ssfnp]

Great ideas to include more protein in a plant based menu!! You've definitely inspired me to get creative in the kitchen. I find tofu easier to work into reciepes. Thank you for sharing!!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

You are so welcome! 🤗

[@trulymelancholy2492]

I just found your account and I am so glad you are VEGAN & showing us your fitness life! I have been searching for vegan fitness people and finding you guys is so RARE! Thank you for your videos and being so informational! I am on my fitness journey minimizing animal products in my life!

[@trulymelancholy2492]

OH SNAAAAAPPP AND THE MUSICCCC CHOICE!!!! GIRL YOU ON FIYYAAAAAA ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@hilahtorres3950]

Great video Natalie! When I found you in 2020 I was getting MAYBE 60g a day. You introduced me to lupini beans, seitan, and a better type of protein powder. 🎉 good stuff!

[@u4me4fun]

Seitan made with lupini beans is my favorite protein.

[@himanshupandey2394]

Your videos are very informative, as a vegan I had no idea about my protein source but after watching you I got so much idea thank you

[@eklein89]

Seitan for me! I make a big batch of seitan chicken Pattie’s 1-2 times a month. Use them in soups, Asian stir fries, pasta dishes, etc.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

😋 yummm

[@sheilacandelaria743]

4 tables spoon of lentils has 10 g of protein. I prefer legumes and quinoa. A cup of quinoa has more protein than rice and half a cup of beans has more protein than regular rice and less carbs. I only eat rice for certain recipes. I eat all types of plant based proteins except seitan cause I'm allergic to wheat 😢 but everything else like tofu love it!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thanks for sharing!

[@elizabethquinlankeech]

I am obsessed with Natalie Matthew’s seitan nuggets and protein bagels. They’re both to die for! 🤤

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

awww! Thank you so much!

[@cinderinafit]

Mine is definitely tofu, I eat a block a day 🤣tomorrow I'm going to try make it from lentils🤞🏻btw I love that you're working with Vedge now ❤ I've been following yourself and Bianca since like 2016! If you know any other vegans gals that lift and post on socials I'd love to know 😊

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

[@christianmommaofone9184]

I admire you so much. You, eat move rest and amy maryon are my top 3 favorite channels

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Wow, thank you

[@msicottevt]

Natalie thank you so much for all you do! You are such an inspiration to me! I am a vegan group fitness instructor, & I appreciate that you are proud of muscle! (So many girls that attend my classes are focused on being smaller all the time)

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you so much for sharing. Yeah I wish more women would not focus so much on constantly dieting. There’s so much more to life than chasing the scale.

[@katieromano]

Yum! Everything looks delicious as always Natalie! Thanks for sharing more about Purple Carrot with us!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

You are so welcome!🤗

[@stevaniemead]

Purple carrot is the best! Finally a full plant based meal service.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

It really is!

[@thefreemanworldexperiment]

I just started using TVP this week and I love it.

[@rowenaanderson3739]

I always click on your videos immediately. Thanks for another awesome video, Natalie. Have a great week.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

You're the best!

[@healthcoach.brenda]

Hi Nathalie! my favorite soirce of protein is seitan, tofu and edamame ❤

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Yum! I’ve been obsessed with the crunchy dry edamame beans 😆

[@tamarakopnicka8198]

How you measure your muscle mass/fat to track your progress. What scales do you have/had, and what do you recommend, please?

[@thubtenkungaling]

HI- Question for you-- I am an autoimmune gal so no oats, grains, beans, pasta, rice, etc. I am not Vegan so I eat eggs. My stomah doesn't do well with Pea or Whey, so the only protein I can handle is Hemp or Collagen. Been loading up on Tofu, Peanut Butter and of all things Quorn. Make Hemp, Pumpkin Seed burgers-- Any other suggestions to upping the protein?

[@venessapiercy1798]

I have a love-hate relationship with Seitan. I feel like it has a 25% chance of not working when I cook it. Even the same recipes I've been making forever.there is nothing more frustrating than a double batch of seitan that's raw or tough.💔 favorite protein for me is tofu and protein powder. Both are super convenient and reliable. ❤

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Yes 🙌🏽

[@mandym8781]

I love tofu, tempeh and protein powder! I rarely eat seitan as it gives me a stomachache, but occasionally I will have it anyway 😂 Love how high in protein it is!! This looked like such a delicious day of food! 😋😋😋

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

It's so good! Thank you for sharing your favorites❤️

[@kelwesblake]

She’s so sweet and fit! My fav proteins are soy curls & tofu

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Soy curls are sooo good! I love them in the airfryer!

[@teagoldleaf4137]

Purple Carrot meals look delicious. Natalie, I gotta say, you look beautiful. You're glowing ✨️ Also, thanks for sharing your recipes 💕💕💕 Edit: tofu is my favorite ❤ i want to like tempeh, I really do but it's always bitter. Ive tried boiling ahead and then discard the water and then cook with seasonings or sauces. Ive also tried marinating overnight but it's still bitter. Also tried switching brands. Idk

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

awww! Thank you so much!!

[@alexandranowak1471]

Agreed, tofu and vital wheat gluten! I know vital wheat gluten is what seitan is made from, but I prefer to use it in other recipes like your bagels or mug cake. Such a versatile ingredient!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Totally agree! 🫶🏽

[@GreenVegan816]

How many calories do you consume hitting 131g of protein?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I’m currently at nautilus 2100 When I’m cutting, I aim to hit 130 to 140 of protein, it really helps with satiety and preserving muscle.

[@janawiggins]

What is the cushion you are using for your hip thrusts?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

we have a flat yoga pad we got from amazon

[@janawiggins]

@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef lol, why didn't I think of that!

[@shilaba80]

Thank you so much!!!!

[@josephinedavidson2509]

Thanks for the tips! I love tofu and seitan 😊

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Same! Great choices 🙌🏽

[@tweety1028801]

Another great video as always.❤

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@Beccaleedom]

My favorite is your Seitan recipe! ❤

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

It's so good! Thank you!

[@Beccaleedom]

How could I forget your Sweet cinnamon raisin bagels! That hooked my husband in wanting to transition over or at least eat more plant based. 💗

[@jennifershah3569]

Girl you look amazing. You defiantly put on some size. You look great.

[@MM-sf5rt]

Love your seitan recipe!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thanks so much! Yay! 😁

[@DH-uw3us]

Fancy broccoli lol! So funny! I prefer the soy-free tofu. I just made some the other day and it came out pretty good.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I was like come on George. How do you not know about broccolini lol. 😂

[@imeldacabrera4893]

Where from your pre-workout and creatine?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

From Vedge code/NATALIE: bit.ly/4aKtlH9

[@imeldacabrera4893]

Thank you for back answer!

[@phuongnhungfarcynguyen9453]

Hey! I would love to become vegan. I found you love to be vegan and 💪🏼 . Thank you if you do more meal prep lovely l

[@betterplacetobe7896]

130g it’s easy but let say I want to cut at 2000 calories with 200g of protein it’s impossible

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

It’s not impossible with seitan or pea crumbles that both have almost not fat or carbs, just straight protein. Why 2000 and why 200?

[@RandyLe4zero8]

R u doing the Arnold's?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

😢no

[@johnsmith-hs1we]

Just wow!

[@melissacastillo4084]

❤ the waffles 😍😍

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

So good 😊

[@carnismiscancer2108]

Great video!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@hurleykid83]

Tempeh and hemp hearts. ❤

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Yum

[@adriannaaguilar898]

Are the carb macros, net carbs or no?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Carb macros 🙌🏽 I don’t do “net”

[@dannymoore2534]

hey beautiful have a wonderful weekend and a wonderful month of march

[@jaminwaite3867]

I wish I could digest seitan 😩 I had a bad reaction and ended up having to go on antibiotics after eating too many wings from a restaurant! Superfirm tofu & tempeh are always my staples.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Oh no I’m sorry! Well, good thing that there’s all these other amazing options that are gluten-free. 🙌🏽

[@GeorgeRitchieMatthews]

How pretty you looking in this video?!?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Love u 😘

[@kenkaneki666]

Purple carrot meals are insanely high in sodium :(

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

They have low sodium options too🩵 and I’m an athlete, I do need sodium😁to perform my best💪🏽

[@teagoldleaf4137]

​@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef Bella, I miss you. I hope you're doing well. When I hit the weights and want to push heavier and harder I think of you, my inspiration ❤💪💃

[@gemsxjourneyx196]

The food is in a package what kind of preservatives are added ? How much money do they pay you to make these videos for them

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I am very open about the fact that they did sponsor this video. After I reached out because I was so in love with the new products. I’ve been a loyal costumer since 2018 🫶🏽 I don’t partner with just anyone… I only partner with brands that align with my core values, and that I love and use myself. 😉

[@asfiwer2010]

guys, I couldn't stand it (I've been a vegan for 7 years, but since February I started taking cottage cheese from a farmer who has his own farm
