[@haileyweiner7353]

I don’t ever comment on KZbin videos but you guys are seriously the best! I have a friend of mine who is trying to go vegan and I sent her this video because it’s so informative and helpful to people who can see being vegan as overwhelming. Also I’ve been vegan for seven years and I’ve used several of your recipes and they have all been so amazing!! ❤️❤️

[@rashidahali1]

I’m one of those who feel overwhelmed. I’ve been began for three weeks now and it’s challenging. I love tofu but I can’t have soy so it’s challenging

[@greenlimabean]

@@rashidahali1 I don't eat soy. My staples are lentils, beans, potatoes. Filling, comfort food

[@RIODJENIRO1]

@@rashidahali1 don't give up. There are MANY different options for soy, Hempeh is one of them. Go to Google and type in ALTERNATIVE for soy or what to use instead of soy for Vegan and many different sites will pop up. Beans are also a great protein to use in place of soy. I use Black beans for spicy black bean patties for one or use red kidney beans or cannelini beans in soups, salads. And can't forget garbonzo/chickpeas beans for hummas! There are others options for so many other items. I know it can be overwhelming at first, but the more you learn about all the many choices you have, the easier it will become and it will not only be healthier for you, but will become actually fun. Take care and happy vegan journey to you!

I love each and every video you make, including the hauls, even though I have no access to 99% of the products you show. However, the fact you've decided to show us some recipes made this one better as I'll be able to make some of these with just a few simple modifications! Also, super proud of another great sponsor. I'm happy companies are noticing your amazing work! :) . Anyways, sending you all the love! Stay safe and have a great week ahead!

Excellent vegan haul Jasmine and Chris and great recipes. Still watched even though we don't have Kroger stores & Simple Truth in the UK to support both of you. How does Chris and all those mentioning that Coconut taste like soap know it tastes like soap? Have you been needing your mouths washed out because of swearing too much?😆

I was so excited to discover oat milk because I didn't care for coconut or almond very much and I'm not a soy person. I love the stuffed shells and minestrone recipes.

[@rashidahali1]

Jasmine how did you learn how to make such delicious meals? I’m a new vegan and I am struggling and I feel so clueless

[@mastandstars5869]

Start with just a few recipes and get into the weekly habit of prepping on Sundays. Cook: A few potatoes & sweet potatoes, rice and chop your veggies like carrots, cucumber, and onions. Have some canned beans on hand along with pasta & sauce, wraps for tacos etc. Monday Asian night. Simply stir fry veggies (you’ll already have rice) top with cilantro. Tuesday TexMex style, open beans, tacos or wraps, cubes potatoes (you’ll have cooked) top with cilantro. Wednesday Italian pretty easy: boil pasta, sauté some zucchini and mushrooms and heat up jarred sauce. Thursday Nourish Bowl Night: Potatoes (already cooked) leftover zucchini and mushrooms from Wednesday, sauté some greens or cabbage with onion & garlic, top with a sweet maple/ mustard salad dressing. Friday Red lentil soup with and leftover veggies, garlic toast and a baked potato (already cooked!) If you can do this for just 3 weeks, it will get easier and then just swap out ideas as you learn new things.

[@sw9868]

Rashidah Ali may I offer you some advice that helped me a lot? Make a list of all the foods/meals you enjoyed before going vegan, then substitute the animal parts with vegan options. If you get stuck just look on Pinterest for a good substitute. For example, if you like tacos look up "vegan tacos". You don't have to be overwhelmed. Just find a vegan substitute for all the foods you enjoyed before. Hope this helps! 😉

I am not vegan anymore ( I was for 17 years ) ,I still buy vegan foods ! I am a vegetarian for 13 years now . I'll never eat flesh again . Kroger/ Ralph's have been making a huge step & difference & in a way becoming like Trader Joe's version of mega supermarket for their price wise & selection wise when it comes to vegan foods !!! And it's the easiest access make it so convenient as they're open til late , many are 24 HR stores !!! And they're everywhere !! I love Trader Joe's ! I've been shopping at their stores since the mid 80's !!! But, they don't have that many vegan selections ,they've increased , though ! But,Ralph's/ Kroger has significantly increased vegan foods under their labels !!! A very smart move !!! 👏👍💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞

Freeze dried fruit doesn't contain a lot of nutrients unfortunately...I love them too and they sure are a healthier alternative to chips or something (if that works for you as an alternative, doesn't for me tho haha), but there's not much left in them after the freeze drying process 😕.

[@ericalissette2078]

You don't actually eat need meatless stuff. Try to eat whole foods and if your starting vegetarian you can have dairy like yogurt and cheese and eggs. Eat hearty vegetables like sweet potatoes. Lentils and beans and tofu good protein sources. Chick pea or Lentil pasta is good to.

[@ericalissette2078]

I recommend you eliminate one meat at a time and slowly transition to vegetarian or vegan. It will be easy and pintrest has lots of meal ideas.

Even pre packed ones ( good for a few days ,maybe a week ? ) taste so much different & yummy including those made in factories !! I highly recommend tempeh or those beyond meat ,so on ! If you buy tofu ,buy organic ones from Japanese supermarkets & their brands as it is closer ( not really ,Lol. ) to ones in Japan ,not even close ,but still better !! Lol. 👍💜🥁🎵🐉🎤🎶💞
