VEGAN WHAT I EAT IN A WEEK | MEAL PREP + RUNNING ROUTINE | VLOGMAS PART 6 | I Covet Thee

[@kayleyyasmineveritt]

Do you run everyday and for a particular amount of time or just do it as and when?? Such a helpful insightful video and love the meal prep as I am also vegan/plant based when it comes to food 💗

[@icovetthee]

I try to run three times a week, usually on a Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday so there's a day of rest in between! I'm still using the Couch to 5k app, so I'll either be running for 20-30 minutes straight, or broken up. I like alternating short runs and longer ones.

[@kayleyyasmineveritt]

I Covet Thee thanks for replying I really did love this video also gave me ideas for meals too the oatmeal looks amazing! As do you!

[@myja100]

Thank you so much for sharing the app and your schedule! I also am just starting to run and I do it on the same days haha :D i feel like it's gonna be great to have the app guide me, and I'm getting all excited for my next run now! All the best to everyone! Xxx @@icovetthee

[@forrestquinton2231]

you probably dont give a shit but does any of you know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tricks you can give me

[@arthurlayne6350]

@Forrest Quinton Instablaster =)

[@JennyWas13]

I wonder if the people in these comments would walk up to a stranger or friend eating a vegetarian meal and say “if you’re meat free why do you wear leather! Alix has never claimed to have a vegan lifestyle, these are just vegan/plant based recipes. There are a lot of ways to help the animals and the environment, and eating plant based is a lot more than most people do. Any positive step in the right direction is a good thing and should be encouraged. Too often people criticise others who are taking positive steps in their life- this discourages anyone from bothering to change in the first place.

[@annaw9687]

JennyWas13 I agree but this is a plant based diet, being vegan is an entire lifestyle and belief so it is different. She did clarify this so it’s chill!

[@nalinthalala6204]

JennyWas13 agreed!! ❤️

[@JennyWas13]

anna barnardwright a vegan diet is literally defined as a diet where people do not eat any animal products, so no- in terms of DIET this is a vegan diet. Just because the person eating them doesn’t happen to be vegan doesn’t mean the meals themselves aren’t vegan.

[@julespearson]

Yes they probably would. A weird thing about being a vegan/vego is that other people love to question you and try and catch you out. It is odd. I've been vego for 32 years!

[@maddieferrero4116]

I am almost 45 years old and I started lifting weights 2 years ago and the change in my body is amazing. I look better than I did in my 20’s never too late to start. You look so happy and fresh and you look amazing keep up the good work! You’re an inspiration

[@myja100]

You're so amazing and that's inspiring and great to hear! Hope everything goes well for you! All the best! Xxx

[@rubytwenty2833]

myja100 That's fantastic, well done! This is something I'd like to try at home just to tone up and build muscle as I'm of a similar age. I am currently doing the NHS running app with a bit of yoga and meditation thrown in. x

[@its.caitlinrose]

Alix, I have been truly loving and enjoying watching your videos recently. Aside from the fact I love meal prep so this video is perfect, you seem to be exuding a sense of calm and ‘content-ness’ that just makes watching a pleasure.

[@clarakoh]

As a non meal prepper- can I ask if you typically have the rest of the meals cold during the week? Or will separate the falafel or baked sweet potato and heat them up again? Not sure how to make it work.

[@catherinebarr573]

"Avocado, of course. I am a millennial" - brilliant 😂. Loving all you're up to at the moment, Alix. Super happy and content, and these videos make me feel it too! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas x

[@happygoblin101]

The couch to 10 K app is brilliant. I have had a personal trainer in the past but never experienced this level of fitness before. Yesterday I ran for 60 minutes for the first time in my life. 6 months ago, I couldn't even run for a minute without getting out of breath. I find K-pop really keeps my pace up.

[@lucija7708]

grocery haul, meal prep and what i eat in a day are my favorite videos so this totally made my saturday! 💖

[@Time2Begin]

Food and running, two of my favourite things! Thanks for the food inspiration. After three years of running I'll be participating in my first organized group run this month, set at night with a glow in the dark theme. So very excited for that, it'll be alot of fun :)

[@myja100]

It sounds like so much fun! Good luck with everything, all the best! Xxx

[@mcgink17]

I’ve been a vegetarian for years and I love seeing other people’s meals and taking inspo... definitely going to try your lunch and dinner recipes! Fab video 👍🏻😍 x

[@lyndajoko9773]

You have inspired me to lean into removing dairy into my diet as well as leaning towards becoming vegetarian. Love this vlog. Thx.

[@themoodylibrarian]

This was such a nice video, Alix. I normally don´t really comment but I just have to say that even though I don´t know you personally, I´m so happpy to see that you´re going down this route of getting healthy and taking care of yourself after what you´ve been through. You look absolutely radiant! xx

[@ohkalukalay]

I loved watching the recipes and your cooking - there's something so therapeutic about it. But I will definitely be trying out that curry as it looks divine! And those falafels are so easy to make - for some reason I always thought it was more difficult. But I'll definitely be doing some meal prep, as inspired by this video ❤️

[@alenemarie1726]

These are such good meals! Sweet potatoes and chickpeas are my LIFE. You’ve made me want to start prepping oats for the week. I really like that idea.

[@theserenewedroots]

That is one thing I loved about being in London is their grocery stores! Everything packaged so perfectly so nothing really goes to waste because it's just enough

[@theserenewedroots]

You know what has really changed the whole meal prep game for me? Freezing meals. At least have 2 or 3 freezer dinners ready for when I'm not in the mood to cook, has been amazing

[@marolle15]

I got so many amazing healthy vegan meal ideas, I'll definitely be trying the falafels this week 😍 thank you so much!

[@Claire-hq9cm]

I'm also a big fan of the Couch to 5K app, I'm currently on week 6 although I've been at it for a couple of months now. I was so shocked too when I could run for 20 minutes straight! Amazing. I've never done, let alone kept up, any sort of fitness in my life. Well done us, here's to a healthy new year 😊 x

[@fehmkes408]

I absolutely love this video! 🙌🏼

[@Anajrob]

Do you warm up our food? It looks delicious freshly cooked, but after 4 days does it taste good? You keep it in the fridge or the freezer?

[@icovetthee]

Depends what I fancy! I'll always reheat something like the curry and it tastes great after a few days. Sometimes I'll pop things in the freezer straight after making them too keep them for longer too.

[@ildc123]

May I suggest ordering an organic box, e.g. Riverford or Abel and Cole. It would cut down on a lot if plastic packaging! x

[@chloespears8464]

Park run is amazing! Don’t feel you need to build up to it. It’s a very inclusive community with no judgement 👍🏼 walk or run

[@jolaonoszko442]

Very true!

[@lisaincb]

Mmm feeling hungry now! Great tip re podcasts. Any tips for how you manage to keep running in the freezing weather?

[@Liithargic]

So early yet so excited to watch this! Thank you for sharing this wonderful content with us

[@somatic7476]

All that food looks yummy, Alix! Where do you find your recipes?

[@sianlake7223]

Really loved this video Alix! I have also completed the couch to 5k but recently have not been running much, and you've ignited the small running flame in my belly and inspired me to go on a run this weekend! I will also be making that delicious looking black bean lunch. Thank you x

[@LilyGarland]

Love love love this video! Please do more meal prep/ideas as I am trying to learn more about a plant based diet. Xx

[@rubytwenty2833]

I love your recipes, they looked healthy, tasty and most of all simple. I'm also doing the NHS couch to 5k and am currently on week 7 which I'm finding very hard but like you say it's all about focusing your mind on something. There's a NHS 5k plus podcast too in case you wanted to try that? I usually run on the grass in the park as it's meant to better for you. I'm not very fast but hopefully will get there one day, but I love it as you feel so good after. Good luck with your running journey! x

[@shell2835]

I made that shepherds pie you made in a previous vid, i just used sweetpot insted of regular potato! So yummy 💗 thanks for the inspo😙

[@LaurenJohnson]

This video was so helpful Alix! I loved seeing your process with meal prep-- I'm definitely going to make some falafels this week. I've started couch to 5k a few times, but never been consistent with it-- I really want to complete the whole thing though! And I've definitely worked out to The Greatest Showman soundtrack on multiple occasions! Thanks so much for sharing! :)

[@jomacpherson3679]

I really enjoyed this Vlog. I can see myself meal prepping like this, so more of these videos would be great please! I have several meat free days during the week anyway, however, I am seriously thinking of increasing these in the New Year. X

[@madeleinesvensson-m3y]

I have got the fitbit versa and I love it. Even just getting started on exercising like going for a powerwalk or just walking in general its really grate! I really like that it counts your steps during the day and tells you to get moving. I have been running alot in the past but I got sidetracked with weight training because I injured my mole running. But Now I think it could be fine so Im slowly starting again! How you're going to run in the wintertime? Do you like treadmills? I would really like to know how often you run :)

[@vickyb3697]

Yay, I love parkrun, it’s totally addictive! I am doing my 250th run next weekend x

[@Starloony]

Thanks for this recipes, looks delicious. Out of curiosity, we've been taught that certain foods such as rice must be eaten within three hours of being prepared. Do you find it makes a difference to your digestion?

[@428pink]

I love you and this video❤️ I’d love to watch more of your vegan related video💕

[@ALittleObsessed]

I loved this video! I want to eat much less meat this year and I love how easy these recipes are! I've also really been nervous about running but I've downloaded couch to 5k and I'm going to give it a go!

[@annaw9687]

Always love meat free meal suggestions! I can never be bothered to meal prep though, the closest I get is sometimes having enough leftovers for lunch the next day 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@imaginejade]

LOVE THAT MOVIE AND SOUNDTRACK!!!

Pink lady apples, yes!

[@kymberlishea2036]

I've cut out gluten. But seriously I just don't know how to cut out dairy.

[@annazwolinska7749]

I'm not fully on plant base diet, but I will eat meat once in a while. I love to experiment with the food and lately I made "cottage cheese" and "pate"from sunflower seeds. They are amazing :)

[@ashleyrickaby5189]

Yes! How do people not love mushrooms?! I share this love haha! Great video as always 😊 x

[@sarahjsandiford]

Super helpful meal prep ideas (that aren't really difficult to make!) - appreciate it, thank you. x

[@GemmaJade]

I love running and wouldn’t say I’m a runner either! I lost 2 stone from it but more than that I love it for de-stressing x

[@romancegal01]

Where is your jumper from I lovvvvvveeee it xx

[@barbiebee288]

Have you tried quinoa taco "filling" in the slow cooker? Soooo good! My meat eating friends eat it and it's such a good fake chilli too! Just quinoa, enchilada sauce, black beans, kidney beans, sweet corn, peppers, fajita spice and some stock or water. 3 hours on high 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@sarahcowley1015]

Yesss! Park run! It’s fantastic! I’m hooked! ❤️🏃‍♀️❤️🏃‍♀️❤️

[@kimaboho9778]

Is it healthy to keep cooked food in the fridge for more than 2 days though? Doesn't it go bad

[@melledelvani]

My goal is to be plant based. I'm slowly getting there. All of the meals look yummy. I want to try that curry. I want to start back running as well. The Greatest Showman is my jam! It's hard not to be motivated listening to that. I was playing tennis and basketball for a good while, but haven't in a month or so. I love being active.

[@J_Jevans]

Loved this video! Just about to start week 9 of couch to 5 k and have the same aim to complete a park run in the new year hopefully :-) you should set up a Strava group! It would be nice to have a little supportive new ish to running community! X

[@nwazan]

Thank you for sharing this video. I have tried the kale and black bean meal with the sweet potatoes. Absolutely AMAZING!!!!! Loved it so much. Also, mushrooms all the way! 🤗. On another note, I do also suffer from panic attacks and anxiety, I’m trying to cut down on the dosage of my meds. Give the Calm app a try, it does help with my anxiety. Xx

[@seraphimap9125]

Love the meal preps! You make them look so yummy ans quick and easy hehehe i work from homw and thought that i will jave time to cook evwry meal as it goes but that didnt happen hehehe i dont like stopping half way through the day to do the cooking. So my new Years resolution will be meal preps hehehe i might actually copy yours and see how i get on!!!! In future perhaps you coukd do such videos mote just with different recipies of course!!! Love your other videos too...not just the ones with food in it hehehhe!!!!

[@charlottekarlsson100]

Make up looks so good ! Definitely want to try the curry recipe

[@myja100]

The curry recipe is in the description box I believe! Xxx

[@sofiaodborn2552]

Everything looks so tasty and healthy!

[@LivvWalrond]

With the fitbit can you control music apps like spotify?

[@franzi4913]

I'm on Strava, too. Welcome to the running community.

[@psgs7453]

I’m loving your videos so much so simple so calm tks ❤️💙

[@aieshahuss1282]

This was awesome Alix !!!! 👍❤️

[@katiegaffney8939]

I agree with the mushrooms, how can you not like them, my 7 Year old son looks at me like I am seriously disturbed when I eat them😊 xx

[@EllyClark96]

Started running back in april with my friend and we managed a 5k after about a month and I was SO proud of myself, it feels so amazing when you achieve each milestone, but I stopped after that just because I got lazy and so I really wanna start again! Gonna set myself a goal to do a park run in april and then I have a 100km charity walk in june so need to start ASAP hahah

[@margueriteangelica]

Which label maker do you use? Love your organization!

[@sn00gums]

Angelica G. It looks like a Dymo. I have the same one. It’s pretty fun to use. 😊

[@yves6073]

Sweetheart, if you run, you're a runner! own it, you earn your miles! :D I love the positivity involved in food and exercise, it sounds like you really found your jam and are taking good care of yourself

[@Hayles92]

I'm desperate to start running and I've tried before but I seriously lack in motivation. I have Couch to 5K on my phone ready so I'm going to try again on Monday and push myself to stick with it!

[@XwhatshesaidX]

I love your jumper! Looks soooo cosy 🍁♥️ P. S I also share the mushroom love

[@GeorginaTirado]

I tried to make your falafels but I only got a mashed falafel 😂 I’m totally sure it’s my fault!! It’s more difficult than it seems, but I’m gonna try another day again 💪🏻💪🏻

[@miss_xenia_]

Wow so much packaging! 😫 would you be keen to try a zero waste challenge? @sustainablyvegan has awesome tips! 🥰

[@c2reativ]

I could never go without my meat and diary, but it is intriguing to see what you guys eat and it’s alternatives. 💁🏾😝💁🏾

[@TheGoldenStardust]

love your comment because it shows how much nicer people could be about that whole vegan/meateater discussion

[@Alice-fj3qx]

why could you never go without? interesting

[@71579musiclover]

Have you tried listening to Rocky soundtrack while running

[@TwinGeeks]

LOVE a grocery haul!

[@pinkfairydust83]

Love that you eat plant based!!!

[@LifeWithFlowers]

This was a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@sofiasantos3132]

Thanks so much for sharing, inspiring video 😊

[@gelareh3469]

Loved this video 👌🏼

[@nancyc3552]

Favorite type of video 🤗

[@bellaford890]

isn't the Lindt chocolate not vegan?!

[@samanthaknapton6916]

the Excellence 70% (and the other higher percentage Lindt chocolate) blocks do not have milk products in them (or so I've been told)

[@aaishaht]

That curry looks delicious! I started couch to 5k a while ago but never ended up completing it..lol 😅 Although I do remember liking it and how it slowly guides you to build up your fitness. Its just too cold in England rn 😫

[@rubytwenty2833]

ᴀᴀɪsʜᴀʜ ᴛᴇʟᴀᴅɪᴀ aw don't let the cold stop you. I'm on week 7 and just layer up and run in the park. I live near a really pretty lake and Forrest which is beautiful so I guess that helps. Anyway, don't give up x

[@annared07]

Been running for nearly two years after spending years telling myself I couldn't run - turns out I can. Always listen to podcasts. Haven't quite managed 10k yet but maybe I will next year.

[@andreagordon2738]

Great video !!

[@dianevella1154]

keep the recipes coming please :) xx

this is such a great video idea. the only thing that concerns me is all your veges wrapped in plastic. you could get the exact same veges for half the price and you wouldnt be contributing to one of the biggest issues on our planet, pollution

[@JennyWas13]

I feel like I must be the only meat free person who doesn’t like sweet potatoes 😫 It would be interesting to also know how much this shop cost roughly- more videos like this would be great!

[@icovetthee]

This all came to around £50

[@carinaconnecting]

you are not the only one!! xxx

[@DaeVlogs]

CURLY HAIR!

[@1stepcl0ser]

Maybe it’s just me but the portions look so small 😵

[@ThisIsMonkeyBusiness]

Such an inspiration! xx

[@happytx1860]

I really like this video. Please do more like this in the future. BTW you are gorgeous. Thanks

[@rachelcreasey325]

No mushrooms are like rubbery slugs 🤭 not that I have ever eaten a rubbery slug lol

[@naomismith4933]

didn't know you were vegan too, yay!

[@sn00gums]

This is a nice video. Very informative. I’m not a vegan. I don’t eat vegetables. Full stop. But I’ve been exploring ways to start and to be more healthy. This is definitely the kind of inspiration I need. ❤️

[@annaw9687]

sn00gums have you tried things like soups where you can cram in loads of veg but not taste it? Or smoothies! 😊

[@sn00gums]

anna barnardwright I did but I can never stick to it. I guess I don’t have enough motivation. I’ll give it another try tho. And maybe explore meat replacement options too. Really just want to eat healthy.

[@sophiedarling8128]

Unless you have a problem with gluten such as intolerance, you don't need to cut it out of your diet. Makes no sense

[@judiihu]

skinny legend. healthy queen. cooking goddess. tell me more haha

[@roza869]

👍👍👍😘

[@growthegrin637]

Hey lovely! Those meals look so delicious, so great that you are eating a more plant-based diet. I turned vegan a few years ago, and it completely changed my life... for the better. I now love cooking and planning my meals as well. I have created lots of recipes, and an ebook full of winter-inspired comforting recipes on my blog.... growthegrin.com/ Anyway, just thought I'd share. Keep on inspiring!

[@aleshaimelda3725]

So much plastic!!

[@beautyblitz00]

How comes your vegan but have animal handbags?

[@aufe46357]

KiG Something you might don’t know it but animals aren’t kill for they skins but for the food insdustry. Then the skin will be sold for furniture, car, fashion . I am not talking about exotic skin or Hermes for example how own a farm but not sure if it isn’t just for exotic. xx

[@sabrinab.6407]

Veganism isn't a whole different lifestyle, it simply means that you're not consuming animal products. I don't now why everyone is expecting all the vegans to be minimalists, reducing the amount of waste, not buying plastics and of course just buying fair fashion etc. That's why the vegan community, in my opinion, is kind of toxic. Some people are just focusing on veganism, because of their health or maybe they are just interested in trying vegan food.

[@ildc123]

She has said several times that she doesn't label herself as vegan, she just tried to eat a vegan diet as much as possible. She isn't claiming to be a pure vegan with all that that entails, just diet wise.

[@JennyWas13]

She’s not a vegan she just eats vegan/meat free.. she’s said this. From my own perspective- I eat vegetarian but I still own leather. The reason for this is that I feel there is no need to eat meat these days, we have the knowledge and accessibility for most people in first world countries to eat a healthy meat free diet. On the flip side I’ve yet to find a single faux leather item that wears or lasts anywhere near as long as real leather- for me with shoes especially, vegan leather doesn’t breathe properly and makes your feet stink. It’s so easy to eat meat free and it not be a big deal, but for me at this stage it’s simply impractical to cut out ALL animal products- it feels wasteful to me to replace faux leather shoes or bags every year when I could buy 1 leather one and have it last 5 years.

[@annaw9687]

Alexandra Peeters this is actually untrue! Particularly for expensive leathers and suede, they’re made from baby cows because their skin gets too tough by the time they’re old/big enough to eat!

[@abdulrahimelmi5558]

Just eat meat, its so bloody nice

[@yesjessfuentes]

Just bugger off...that would be nice
