[@Martina_E]

great video I never had black lentils and forbidden rice (I have to try that). my staples are chickpeas, lentils, nutritional yeast, quinoa, oats, almond mik, chia seeds and sunflower seed.

[@magnacarta926]

Tysn for this video. Filed it under Like. I really like the list of items in the description. So glad you are here! 🤩

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Omg I stopped getting notifications and then today you popped back up! I missed you and I really enjoyed this so informative I shared it to help people. Also I've started posting videos on my channel about my chronic illnesses learning to edit is tricky! Please could you do some slow cooker recipes? My husband has a new job and is home later in the evening, by the time he's home I can't cook because of my fatigue and I'm struggling to find slow cooker recipes that are not curries xx

[@ohleander02]

My peanut butter has flax seeds and molasses in it, and I'm good with that. :) I think your advice is good -- but it's not always cost effective. I live below the poverty line. Organic and simplified is expensive. :)

[@sheashea4622]

Do what you can do.

[@feroziadollie6678]

wish I had Funds to Purchase these foods..

[@rubyscott6685]

Leander T I feel you. Careful budgeting is a must, and not just with food. You can still eat well though, if you are willing for your life to be different from the ones that are popular in the media. That is what worked for me when I was completely broke.

[@amiedee579]

This was super helpful! Thank you!! YES to a spices video please! 🤗

[@patriciabracy6637]

I keep dry varity of lentils in my pantry too. However, I also keep Trader Joe's stemmed French lentils on hand for a quick go to. I'm addicted to those😊Thanks for all the effort you put into bringing healthy nutrition tips to the rest of us!

[@Bêêfẹățêř_Ķ]

Great video... I also love quinoa!! Also, I eat its cousin - canahua!! Love that even more... dry toast and then add your liquid n herbs/spices and cook. SO SO DELISH!! Both of those are complete proteins!! The other pseudo-cereal (seed) that I eat is amaranth. It's also very good... and I buy the amaranth flour at Costco to add to my garbanzo flour to boost the protein and nutrients.

[@yanyamcreynolds6278]

Great video! Good list with how they are used. Love your videos so thank you for taking the time to do them!

[@kadiyahlodge9430]

I see you have oats. Are those Bob's? Some of their products (like their gluten free oats) require refrigeration after opening. Also, the organic almond butter I use requires refrigeration too! Can you do a refrigerator tour next?

[@cristrivera]

Spices!!😎

[@ericad3850]

Cool video! I tried almond butter today for the first time ever. It was delicious! Do you prefer salted or unsalted almond butter?

[@thebellaluna]

Yes, spices, please! Thx for your videos! They're such a BIG help! :)

[@lexiguerra4838]

i love informative videos like this

[@Simplyquinoa]

+Lexi Guerra glad you found it helpful!! xx

[@VeggieMagnifique]

Woah tons and tons of great ideas in this video - thanks!

[@lizabarana239]

spices!!! 👍

[@sarahwhite3272]

Love this 👏🏻🙌🏻! I would love if you could do a video on all the different supplements you take. There are so many out there it gets confusing. 😊

[@maribellerma7717]

Sarah White she has a video already... ☺

[@sarahwhite3272]

Okay, thanks! I'll see if I can find it.

[@maremacd]

Orgain vegan protein is pretty clean, tasty, and relatively cheap--especially on Amazon.

[@megmeginchinamcghee6909]

Looooove these videos, trying to stock my pantry at the moment and this is great. Does the color of quinoa matter?

[@juliemoreno5151]

Hey there, @simplyquinoa😊 My name's Julie and I've recently discovered you channel (like two days ago) and I'm certain that I've found The Holy Grail of Clean Eating.🔥🌟🌟 I was just wondering if you count any form of macros or calories. If not, how do you know you're eating enough of each type of food? 💖

[@megl07]

yes please a video on spices!

[@mrso6659]

Yes on the spices.......please!

[@laurenmckinley6910]

I heard that soaking your nuts boost their nutrition level and is easier on your digestive system! But not sure how soaked nuts work into becoming nut butters.

[@nyuudEsu1745]

Lauren Nunley there are some videos about how to make sprouted almond butter. I guess that you need to let them dry hyper well or dehydrate them after turn them into​ butter.

[@vikkibailey7008]

Thanks!! SUPER helpful!

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

Any advice for how to use Coconut manna/coconut butter? I have a jar in my cabinet but have no ideas for using it.

[@BeverleyButterfly]

Dark Blue Nutrition use it instead of oil in pans for heating food, I use it in baking instead of butter to line my pan too, it can also be used on toast instead of butter. I'm sure our healthy eating guru will have a lot more uses too

[@DarkBlueNutrition]

Thanks!! Appreciate the tips.

[@dawnlouiseh]

Dark Blue Nutrition hi, the manna/ butter is great used very similarly to nut butters as it's literally just the whizzed up coconut meat so it has the flesh and the oil. where as the coconut oil can be used in many different ways, like an alternative to other oils, butter for spreading and baking, homemade chocolate to skin and hair care. x x and when finished that jar make your own from dried unsweetened dessicated coconut or coconut flakes by whizzing trying food processor or blender. have a look online. coconut mama Garway website dedicated to allusions coconut. x hope that helps

[@scoobydoo7346]

stuff it in a date

[@Tracks777]

Great video! Keep it up

[@karla514gc7]

Love this! This was so helpful :)

[@jeedanouri8727]

Do you have any tips on Vegan weight loss? Particularly snacking... while nut butters are DELICIOUS they are very calorific so maybe not the best for weight loss? Great videos btw!

[@communitas2024]

Great video! Great info!

[@Narnendil]

Loved this video!

[@dawnlouiseh]

great info thank you. I got some quality brand organic quinoa and my first experience was terrible it tasted a bit bitter. I kept with it for a few days trying the batch I cooked that I put in the fridge, tried making milk from it. nope still couldn't palate it. I was so hyped about it after watching loads of your videos and reading your blog. any tips. I cooked it according to your started guide. second please I need ideas for alternatives to nutritional yeast as very allergic to it and also to oats. oats are used a lot and again allergic to it? third question, sorry, do the quinoa flakes and flour taste same as plain cooked quinoa? thank you for your time x

[@debkatzz]

Dawn Heald hi, the quinoa I buy needs washing to remove a chemical the plant produces so the seeds don't germinate until the conditions are good for growing and it tastes bitter (some brands come prewashed). If that doesn't do the trick some recommend soaking for 8-12 hours before washing, and it cooks quicker. I use nuts blended with some salt till look like breadcrumbs on pasta, nor cheesy but texture and salt add a nice savouryness.

[@ians6216]

great content, well presented

[@sarahmarzouq1935]

Thank you amazing!

[@kellybeechen2271]

Best video ever!!

[@Simplyquinoa]

+Kelly Beechen thank you!!!

[@ajiawatson6475]

My organic nut butters have a build up of oil on top... is that normal? Should I be refrigerating them? It's SO difficult to mix lol

[@Simplyquinoa]

It is normal, yes! You can try storing them upside down actually (just make sure the lids on tight so they don't leak), or you can try blending them in your blender once you open them for the first time and that should help!

[@krista6451]

What do lentils taste like? Because I'm considering buying some but I'm skeptical about it.

[@krista6451]

Abigail Smith Oh, thank you.

[@ezra9020]

They can taste a little nutty. They're great for you and cheap so I think it's worth trying!

[@communitas2024]

Krista they're delicious. Try them.

[@payalpatel8863]

What Brand do you use for peanut butter?

[@Simplyquinoa]

My favorite peanut butter is from Brads Organic, but it can be hard to find. Other brands I like are Once Again, Thrive Market and homemade!

[@zenlyf4487]

do u have a recipe for lentil and quinoa mixed

[@daliag8530]

I actually agree with Melissa. No offense. Just an honest opinion from a fan.

[@michellemiddlebrooks3386]

Spices!!

[@yes2542]

Goals

[@adazhu8367]

Whenever I cook quinoa, it comes out bitter. Is that the natural taste of it or are there tips and tricks to it?

[@Simplyquinoa]

+Ada Zhu do you rinse it beforehand? Id definitely recommend doing that if you don't already! Some people have a more sensitive palate and Quinoa can be pretty bitter. So try rinsing or try another brand 😘

[@adazhu8367]

Simply Quinoa Okay, I will try that, Thank you~~~

[@robynb1310]

[@clairemerva8369]

spices please!!

[@patty-cf7jj]

I've started buying non fortified nutritional yeast because I learned too much synthetic folic acid isn't good. But I guess it depends how much someone consumes and I use it a lot! (Google Dr. Joel Fuhrman and synthetic folic acid if interested).

[@dawnlouiseh]

patty 8873 I can't have nutritional yeast and I was really unhappy about it as it does make a big difference to eating a plant based and gluten free diet, especially at the beginning. mind you I can't even tolerate gluten free oats. an alternative I've seen Anya Cass use is tahini and tamari sauce. I did this and I was impressed. x

[@dawnlouiseh]

my reaction to the stuff was bad allergic reaction needing double dose antihistamine and steroids. not a clue why?

[@m.mohammed6498]

It's my birthday

[@nancydee6106]

I love your channel however after two weeks I am leaving it I have found this diet is so inflammatory from my guts I am in so much pain going back to Paleo! Il miss miss tho!

[@mfreeman2696]

Could you please teach my wife how to cook xD

[@yes2542]

M Freeman 😄

[@conscioushomestead]

Please take this as constructive criticism. I don't want to come across as mean, just a makeup tip. You may want to consider taking your eyeliner all the way into the inner corner of your lash-line. Again, sorry if this seems mean, I just think you need some color in that inner corner. It looks like you don't have any eyelashes there. You're SO beautiful and just wanted to give you a small tip. Hope that's OK. I adore your videos a lot! This one was great, but I have been wanting to be brave enough to give you that feedback because it's always distracting. Lots of love. :)

[@conscioushomestead]

I wasn't trying to be mean, just trying to give her a little bit of feedback from a makeup artist. The only bad that came from this comment was your snarky comment back.

[@ivi122]

Katherine Prince she didn't say anything wrong. It was just a makeup tip. No big deal

[@ivi122]

Melissa Pinilla I can see what your saying. I agree with you. The eyeliner makes her look like she is missing eyelashes...no big deal. Easy fix if she wanted to fix it. She is really pretty and doesn't eve need makeup...just a compliment

[@lovedove2661]

Melissa Pinilla She looks perfect. I hope you dont take offense but how about adopt her healthy habbits to lose your double chin and that way you dont have your rediculously face akwardly slanted.

[@communitas2024]

Love Dove you are mean! She was so nice about the makeup thing, you really come out as spiteful and vicious. No need to be like that

[@TL-mc7cd]

Canned food, pasta and other processed foods? I’m confused as to how you view this as healthy. Plant based means plants.

[@edgelord6560]

too much affliate. disliked.

[@meghandarlin1050]

Well ig I'm a weirdo cause I'm the only one whole love to cook dried beans by stove after using a canned bean & reading the nutrition label I said he'll no the sodium & carbs is a no no...
