Keep staying on track young lady! You are going to finish well!

[@purplesavvy6055]

My favorite go to meal is the pb&j overnight Oats from your cookbook. Absolutely sets my day every AM and your Lupini bean Seitan has been a game changer. Right now, I'm so focused on my goals I'm really leaning on your videos, old and new, and your cookbook to get me through 😁😁

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Thank you soooo much! Tha'ts one of my favorites too. Soo simple and filling.

[@ambergreen4748]

I love watching your videos Natalie!! Even when you say you hit a “low” you are still smiling and making the best out of your prep! You seem to have the mental training side of this DOWN! Way to go, and BEST OF LUCK in your upcoming show. My go-to meal is anything with kale, sweet potatoes, avocados and a protein & sauerkraut on top! So yummy!!!

[@laurarose520]

I'm so excited to see you compete again. and I always appreciate your FDOE videos

[@StickItOutTillTheEnd]

Overnight oats are definitely a go-to for my mornings, but for my evenings, I love a vegan taco bowl with veggie ground. You can add rice or not, add avocado or not, add corn or not... etc. Can always be adjusted with your goals!

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Love that🙌🏽

[@stalinkeviciute]

You go girl 👏 I haven't worked out in a month due to a surgery I had. And I'm so anxious to get back. 3 more weeks of bed rest though.😂🎉

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

you got this! wishing you a speedy recovery

[@lup4472]

Awesome video girl! 😘❤️My favorite go to meal is Natto (fermented soy beans) I eat it for breakfast on Thursday and Fridays ( mon-wed is green smoothie days). It is so good for your gut and it is loaded with protein, k2 vitamin and nattokinase. I normally have it with white sushi rice and tare sauce (japanese bbq sauce). Btw, I'm not japanese, but I love all Asian cuisine and Natto is simply in my opinion the best probiotic out there.

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

I need to try it!!! I love soy beans👀 where do you buy it? Or do you make it?

[@50charactersonly61]

Can you share your workout program competition prep for the entire process...like week after week leading into the competition day. We often don't get to see the way to increase reps/weights/volume and different exercises. Good info to get 👍

I can get down with PB& Banana Toast!

Hey Natalie! I gotta admit, I go for the tried and true stir fry when I can’t think of what to make or am feeling uninspired. I just like that I can throw anything I like into it and clear out the fridge! And I have never actually purchased from BB before tho I’ve been eyeing them for a while - I’m crossing my fingers!!

I also like Rainbow Plant Life’s homemade hummus, I like to eat it with cucumber. So hydrating. Where is your chickpea Seitan recipe?

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

It’s the LUPINI bean recipe in the channel… I ran out of lupini and used chickpeas & a lil less liquid than what the recipe calls for. Here’s the original recipe: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5-Yp6lpeJVghpI

Just curious, tastewise do you prefer lupini bean seitan or the one with garbanzo bean? 😊 I think I wouldnt mind eating the same thing over and over again if that looked that yummy 😁 @emkorellka

[@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef]

Lupini for taste and texture… with garbanzo you need less liquid and texture is a bit more chewy. Sooo I slice it very thing and sometimes reheat in airfryer to improve texture.

Delish either way🙌🏽

Awesome job. Keep up the great work! My favorite go-to meal is a hummus sandwich. I make my own hummus using chickpeas, black beans, garlic, carrot y sesame, or flax seed. After toasting 2 pieces of vegan bread for crunch, I cut into 8 triangles. These I use almost as Spanish tapas. I add a thick layer of hummus and follow that with mandalin style veggies. I usually love arugala, shredded carrot y beet, tomatoes, asparagus, ginger, onion, tri colored peppers, zucchini, nutritional yeast, braggs' aminos & nori. Each tapa ends up being crispy, crunchy, and satisfying! Buen provecho 😊🎉😊 @Kbuenoecotours
