Now that you’ve seen some of my current favorite groceries, what is the one grocery item you’re loving at the moment?

[@sandygrow5698]

Blueberries!

[@Ramyapad19]

Beyond meat Vegan sausage i shop at cold storage for them in Singapore Thanks Ramya

[@mizzorino]

Dark choc 😅

[@uberfiamma]

Cherry tomatos! ❤

[@MrsMMcG]

Besides fresh berries, cooking dried beans in the instant pot! Wow, so glad I bought your cookbook to teach me how to use it! ☺️

[@nedinacarl9011]

I've seen a lot of grocery haul videos and this is the BEST one. I love how many ideas and recipes you gave us! On the menu this weekend: ratatouille with pasta, raspberry galette, and smashed cucumber salad!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

That's so nice to hear, Nedina. Glad you enjoyed all the ideas and your weekend menu sounds delicious!

[@clairesewcreative1255]

There's a very good reason men in relationships live longer than their single counterparts 😆

[@RainbowPlantLife]

This is the best comment and so true😂

[@rachelfry8445]

Haha so true 😂

[@Victory..I]

Here I am.. single all my life..😢😭

[@LifewithSerenityAllthingsgood]

[@smlndolphn9802]

I love that you don't just show what groceries you bought, but also what you plan to use them for! :)

[@books_and_boardingpasses]

Love your sense of humor, I feel like I am watching a friend talking to me. Thank you for sharing your ideas.

[@aileencarrera1649]

I loved how you opened up all your snacks right there and then

[@margarett_b]

I love how you talk about you boyfriend's attitude towards produce and how you joke about his potential deficiencies ;D Also, very kind of you to choose what he likes as opposed to what is cheaper!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha I am always trying to get him to eat more veggies and fruit, I will try anything!

[@susan6437]

I have your instant pot recipe book and it is the most used book in my vegan recipe library. Thank you.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww that makes me so happy, Susan! Thanks for sharing :)

[@patty-cf7jj]

I love that bedtime tea. It’s not fast working, but if you have it every night for weeks it builds up in your system and I can barely keep my eyes open.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I totally agree! I love the gradual effect so it's not intense but it does lull me to sleep!

[@mizzorino]

Your voice is so calming omg 😇😭

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Really? That's so sweet of you to say! Glad it's calming for you!

[@aliciamichela8527]

I wish my farmers' market had all those beautiful options! It's usually pretty empty until we get closer to autumn. I love Thrive! I work at a distribution warehouse, so whenever I'm watching a Thrive haul, I'm looking at the packer's name to see if it was me! 😂😂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha that must be fun! Thrive is great, and I'll start looking for your name on my boxes from now on :)

[@laurenpool8367]

Hands down the best grocery haul video I've seen. I really appreciated the varied meal ideas you gave based on each ingredient. Thanks so much!

[@drvincentesposito]

Totally agree with sticking as close as possible to what's on season! (And summer is the best season!) Also, love putting the fresh herbs in vases. That's such an underrated trick that expands their shelf life!

[@biancaaquilino2348]

OMG you guys, if you don't have her instant pot cookbook. You must get it. Recipes are amazing. NISHA Def knows flavor and food

[@margarett_b]

Cherries, blueberries and raspberries are just THE BEST thing ever. Honestly, I adore them so much I could live of them during summer :D

[@LifewithSerenityAllthingsgood]

seriously!! same ! : )

[@MarkWhiteartist]

I don’t know if it’s the content, or the video production or her calming voice but I’m hooked, subscribed

[@jasminesjourney9318]

I love that you put clips of a few things you make

[@RainbowPlantLife]

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@jadawinchester8654]

I hope you see this, Nisha! 😊 Recently purchased your cookbook and GIRL I’m so loving your recipes. Thank you for this wonderful video (and every other wonderful video you’ve ever created 😂). It’s so nice and refreshing to see a vegan that I can relate to and trust that the recipes they make will be delicious. My culture likes spicy foods too 😉 and your seasoning game is always on point! Myself and my goro dostar appreciate you and your channel✌🏾 and ❤️

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you for your support, Jada! I'm so pleased to hear you're loving the recipes in my cookbook. And I genuinely lol'd at goro dostar, I forgot I had said that!

[@stephthemess6960]

Ah! Just randomly came upon this video and I have to say YOUR VOICE! It’s so cute and cozy! Makes it feel like you’re an older sister giving me advice about what foods to eat and whatnot. Thank you for this! I love seeing grocery hauls!

[@MsVivian4979]

I don't like spicy foods, but I admire how many fruits and vegetables that you like. My husband is so picky 😂.

[@CompostWatcher]

That’s why he married you.

[@pratikrajpopat]

that subtle "goro dostaar"👌🏻👏🏻

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Lol i was hoping someone would enjoy that!

[@priyab5926]

lovely video. would love to see another in the fall/winter.

[@missk4934]

Love love love this style video from you!! Thrive Market has been a lifesaver always but definitely throughout COVID! Thanks for sharing your favorites!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Kim, you're so welcome! I agree - it's been such a help especially during the pandemic! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

[@rishichilhate1529]

You are so positive, your eyes smile!

[@ozfrankie]

"Did you wash that?" 😂 was thinking the same thing and relieved that you did!! luv yer vids, yer adorbs!!!

[@cattroot8496]

Always love your videos! I definitely need to try more of your recipes. I’m terrible in the kitchen, so I’m always intimidated by them.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you! I hope you'll give a few of them a try, you can even start with something really easy like the smashed cucumber salad I mentioned in this video (no cooking required!).

[@hiralhenna]

Haha I loved the "goro dostaar" comment! 😂 And cheers! 🍷🍷 it's always 5pm somewhere!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hehe yay I am glad you enjoyed that comment! And yes, cheers! It's actually 5 pm here and I am about to have a glass of wine :)

[@valiantabello]

EAT YOUR VEGETABLES, MAX! And FRUIT TOO!

[@sandygrow5698]

Love watching your videos! Always puts me in a good mood.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww that's so nice to hear, Sandy! Thank you!

[@sparkletone1684]

I laughed at the wine comment! Also at you snacking during this haul, because I would totally do the same thing. Loved this video. It has further convinced me that I need to get my behind on Thrive Market. I saw at least 3 things that I buy regularly, and with the way my life is set up, it would be amazing and convenient to just start getting things from Thrive.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

haha i'm glad you had a laugh :) And how could I not snack with all that in front of me? Lol. And yes, thrive is such a great option - I'm sure you'll love it!

[@sparkletone1684]

@@RainbowPlantLife I feel you, especially on farmer’s market blueberries and raspberries! I honestly didn’t care for blueberries until I got them from a farmer’s market. I went buck wild after that 😂

[@amstreater]

I love harissa and add it to ratatouille quite often. Also I appreciate you talking about the filters for Thrive as I mainly try to shop ethical, plastic free things and it’s great when stores make that easier.

[@CielMccartney]

Right on time!! You're hilarious!! I bought cherry tomatoes and cucumbers so I'm excited to try your cucumber salad recipe!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hooray, sounds yummy and fresh. And thank you so much :)

[@Mrs-gg6vw]

I've never had a meal better than the plant based meals I've had.

[@shelleypicott3239]

Loved the grocery haul....but definitely loved when you said, "it is five o'clock somewhere...."

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Lol yes, it's always true! Thanks Shelley!

[@lauraorso2539]

Grocery hauls are my fav, thanks! In response to your question about a grocery item I'm loving... I literally always love Kimchi, so much of it in my fridge... I think I have 2 small jars and 1 large one currently... wait three small ones, lol! Have a great day Nisha :).

[@ladawnwarren8570]

What a epic grocery haul!!! Love thrive Market Definitely have to try out those vegan snacks.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you Ladawn! There is so much yummy food to be cooked haha. And lovely to hear you love Thrive Market as well. The cocomels and plantain chips are new favorites here :)

[@joymae]

So much produce! Can you do a video showing how you keep your produce fresh?

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yes, I test a lot of recipes! That's a great idea for a video!

[@YassmineWantsPeace]

I love your creativity in recipe ideas, nisha!😍

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww thank you, that's so nice to hear!

[@Sarah-un3vk]

I loved this video! Signing up for thrive market right now, love that they have clean beauty stuff too!

[@missvalerie4040]

I absolutely love your vegan food haul. I am shocked all that food in the Thrive Box is less than $80. I am definitely signing up and buying your cookbook. All these recipes ideas makes someone like me, go vegan.

[@victoriaprevitt7058]

Those cocomels are SO good! I get those in my thrive box every time!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Haha yay! I am mildly obsessed with them now!

[@if6436]

So cute we want more indian vegan recipes please

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Thank you! I definitely will have more :) Have you tried my palak paneer or malai kofta? Those are my faves 😍

[@cdevida]

RainbowPlantLife I made your Palak Paneer & it was amazing!!!

[@veggielovinaccountant]

Tomatoes!!! But that ratatouille looks phenomenal! I have your cookbook so I will have to try it. Also, I live in Kansas and without Thrive it would be hard to be vegan. I really appreciate them!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So glad that Thrive Market has been helpful for you! I'm so glad you have my cookbook - the ratatouille is a must-make right now when all those veggies are in season!

[@thisisdak]

“What, too early to drink wine? - Yes, it’s 11 a.m. ✨but it’s 5 p.m. somewhere!“😂

[@laurieindelicato9209]

Can you do a recipe video for sprouted mung beans. Have lots of them and don’t really enjoy them raw and sprouted. A cooked recipe would so great. Thank you for your consideration

[@LifewithSerenityAllthingsgood]

I loveeee mung beans!!! I put them in burritos, and as a side dish. They NEED seasoning and/or sauce though! They are so so so good with pesto over them. If you like pesto I have a easy fast pesto recipe posted that I always put over mung beans. I actually ate them today.... no joke! Have a beautiful day! :)

[@the.annethology]

Have you done a pantry and fridge tour?please do one if you havent!!! Would love to be nosy and see all your food 😅😂

[@naturewoman1274]

There is one problem with watching your videos, they make me hungry xx

[@deborahbergen493]

I love you ! I don’t love Thrive Market! Out of no where they took almost $300 out of my account. I never received any groceries ! Along with that they took the yearly amount out , they refuse to make it right! Our home burned in the Ca. Fires. So it was not a good time to rip me off! Sorry guys. I’m having a hard time letting this one go !! Great video 🥗💪💜

[@sophiapaulekas4767]

That's so funny. I just made smashed cucumbers last night. So delicious with Calrose rice. I love the Japanese style cucumbers the best.

[@CurlyHijabi]

Please do a fridge tour

[@withhelenblog]

Cherry Tomatoes and donut peaches are so good right now! Have to stop myself from eating them all right when I get home 😂

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Donut peaches, yesss! I can never stop eating peaches!

Zucchini bread 😋😋😋 on my way to the store to get everything now! Thanks for the idea.

If Thrive Market starts mailing to military bases, we will order. Most other online stores and individuals do mail here from US and internationally, so hopefully they will also. We are isolated and unable to travel so we all (about 1600 to 1800) US citizens order so much online. Love your videos and recipes.

VEGAN MOTIVATION: I went vegan at 12, not rich or privileged, non-vegan family and still vegan 4 years later. If I can do it so can you! Let's leave animal cruelty in the past. Vegan KZbinr btw...

[@DS-uo1zy]

@@VeganDefinition you have some issues if you really believe that I am jealous of you. What would I be jealous of, your 3500 subs which translates into less than 1000views per video and a terrible like:dislike ratio? It's super simple. It's annoying to see you spam the same message on every big vegan youtuber for at least 7months now followed by "vegan youtuber btw" just to get some subs. That's super cheap of you, you can do better. I'm only "jealous" of you going vegan so early, that's pretty dope of you ngl. Doesn't mean you have to be spamming everyone's comments and begging for subs though. Just stop this. Please.

[@margarett_b]

So good produce is generally available where I live as many of the other products you have in the US are impossible to find where I live :D I would enjoy the video anyways as I just LOVE your content, but it is got to have something to relate to! As a curiosity: in Poland all the cardboard punnets for fruits and veggies are rectangular as opposed to square!

I use the Thrive autoship. I have items I always use automatically shipped once a month. The website still needs a little work, but you can change your items before it ships.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aw lovely to hear that! Thanks Gabriela!

[@aldoranematzada8214]

I tried Thrive, I feel like your really limited as to what you can buy from there. They have cool snacks and a couple interesting products, but thats about it. Also, some things are cheaper but others are more expensive so it kind of just balances itself out, so you don't really save in the end unless you know what to get. If I still have to go to Wholefoods, I don't see the need to have Thrive. Hopefully one day they have everything, because its actually a cool concept. Purely Elizabeth granola is the best granola EVER.

[@LifewithSerenityAllthingsgood]

totally agree
