A Day of Vegan Meals (Higher Protein Recipes)

[@shaetasstic]

I saw pasta and clicked so fast. Probably shouldn't watch this while hungry but here we go

[@itslivb]

hahaha pasta is my weakness I get it

[@aleksandrabecagul7340]

Me,too 😂

[@FoxyFitness]

Lmao. I can relate on every level.

[@wait4sum1]

I love pasta too

[@Mina_Rome]

I'm literally distracted by how pretty you are. Also YES to those seitan nuggets!

[@SharanyaRamesh101]

Liv I think you are so HEALTHY because you eat good clean food but you also eat whatever you want and when you want it ! So inspired by your lifestyle ❤️

[@sarahr5513]

No joke, but that one-pot mushroom stroganoff is easily one of my favorite meals ever!!!! Everyone needs to try it, it’s soooooo delicious 😋😩

[@michelea2326]

making it tonight!!!

[@marieshark]

Im going to have to make it tomorrow now! I even bought a new tub of nooch the other day by coincidence so I can't wait!!

[@southafricanvegan1054]

Okay that espresso smoothie looked BOMB I need to try it!

[@plantaetivoli1178]

It just warms my heart when I see KZbinrs sharing other KZbinrs recipes and expanding our repertoire of AWESOMENESS . I have connected w/ so many vloggers and bloggers by trusting people I already follow. Your channel gets extra points in my heart by your attitude and great content, of course! :D

[@marisaabsi]

Just got out of my strength training workout class and was about to run to the market. I thought, let me pop onto liv’s channel to get some ideas of meals to make. Then I saw this! Perfect timing especially with the higher protein! Thanks !

[@EsraaBassiouni]

The dinner looks so yummi

[@akayk8013]

Your hair looks amazingggg

[@LittleBlondeVegan]

I love when you use the instant pot! We have one and I like getting ideas of what to make in it.

[@EJDforhealth]

Amazing recipes!! Your seitan looks exactly like what my mom made many years ago. She just called it "gluten" and she made it from regular wheat flour. She made the dough with flour and water then "washed" the dough in bowls of water repeatedly until is the sticky ball like you have. Thanks for the memories! 😊

[@withluvmichy]

I always watch food videos when I'm starving, but these recipes look amazing. I'm definitely going to try the espresso smoothie.

[@marystestkitchen]

aahh these meals look so good

[@marystestkitchen]

And your seitan game is getting so strong!!!!

[@itslivb]

@@marystestkitchen Thank you! I've been working hard to up my seitan game haha I love it so much!

[@ashleechan22]

I have an insta pot! I should use it more often! Im going to try this!!!

[@jamieladawn9212]

[@AnnaPotts818swifferbaby]

I love Caitlyn's mushroom stroganoff recipe!

[@jillianm8958]

Could you do a video all about tofu scrambles? I think it would be so good! I need some tofu scramble ideas! Love your videos 💜.

[@hollyblack1034]

Wow everything looks so yummyyyy

[@kay1box]

but Liv...Thrive market does not ship to Canada :(

[@FoxyFitness]

That’s not very smart on their part. I guess they don’t want your coint. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@mathildem6714]

karenz101box But Liv lives in Canada, and they ship to her?

[@danielle.d9966]

A lot of Canadian KZbinrs keep partnering with Thrive, I don't get it lol..

[@mathildem6714]

It says they don’t ship to P.O. Boxes in Canada, maybe they ship to residential addresses?

[@hibyelisa]

@@mathildem6714 it says P.O Boxes, or Canada. As in no Canada at all :(

[@mademoiselleea]

the dog is adorableeee 🖤🖤🖤

[@nellydaniela7960]

all of this looks delish

[@cheynaynay57]

I don't understand how you got thrive market products? You are Canadian. They dont ship to Canada.

[@Alanitoo]

Many Canadians have been sponsored by Thrive, but i just checked and they don't deliver to Canada, it's odd.

[@cheynaynay57]

@@Alanitoo yeah I'm really annoyed lol. I wish people would clarify that.

That pasta looks absolutely delicious!! Need to try that out

[@paulinamalina910]

Aaa the lunch looks so good!

[@MsSomebodysMom]

Everything looks delicious Liv! Where do you find the vegan beef broth? By the way, your dog is sooo sweet.

[@laurynnb]

Wait.. I thought you were Canadian? And thrive doesn’t ship to Canada? I’ve wanted to order so many times!

[@rachelmartin5232]

laurynnb same here!! i’m so confused

laurynnb I’m guessing that she’s a Canada native but now resides in the states.

[@cheynaynay57]

I'm so confused too!! Thrive in cananda ?

She is Canadian but the vast majority of her audience is outside Canada.

[@purplecarrot8982]

I'm so glad shes adopted!!

[@greencyy]

Liv make vegan poutine please 🥺🥺

[@monitalisa4352]

Oh my goodness! These recipes are delicious! Also, what brand is your cook/kitchen ware? They are so cute!

[@roseelise]

Caitlin’s mushroom stroganoff is one of my faves! Also idk why I haven’t been making espresso smoothies my whole life 😅😅😅 genius!

[@riturner]

I HAVE to make seitan! It looks so bomb!

[@waddupdudes32]

Where can I find the nutritional information for the quinoa salad and the mushroom stroganoff? Thank you :)

[@lieslix]

I made the Vegan Stroganoff Pasta so often, I love it!! And I am not vegan ;-) Also everyone I have cooked this recipe for, loved it, too! Yummy,...this creamy texture is amazing!

[@divvvvvvvvvv]

Looks so good! Anticipating this a lot from your instagram post

[@nolllybee6431]

Will you show us some more instant pot recipes? O got one recently and I haven't been too sure what to make in it!

[@michellealana98]

on the website it says thrive doesn’t ship to Canada 😒

[@misakistalker]

you should rinse the quinoa though it tastes bitter. Those are nice meals I'm not a vegetarian but I really think they must taste amazing.

[@InTheEnd929]

So maybe I missed it but can you do a video on good vegan mashed potatoes? I’ve been experimenting with some but they haven’t been quite right. I’ve been using one cup of nonsweeted pea milk and about one cup of a vegan chicken bolion cube with a few table spoons of butter and salt and pepper to taste. I would love to know your thoughts.

[@InTheEnd929]

In addition I warm up the milk before I put it in the hot potatoes so it’s not a shock to them.

[@Ella.L.]

@@InTheEnd929 I like to add soy milk, nutritional yeast, black pepper, salt, nutmeg (just a tiny bit) and fresh parsley to my mashed potatoes - it tastes really good that way :)

[@purposemind8895]

Gosh I LOVE your hair 👀 💚 great video! Cheers 😊

[@famfamtime]

aww your dog looks so adorable

[@OsitaBlacky]

Hi! I have a question. I really enjoyed the quinoa salad you made. Am I able to store in the fridge as meal preap for the week?

[@meganwilson5295]

I love your shirt!!

[@annalorraineyu-heppenstall4564]

Liv, do you have the cookie dough notes recipe? 😁

[@fuzibunny]

You had me at espresso

Came for the recipes, stayed for the ABSOLUTELY FLOOFY ADORABLE PUPPER 😍😍😍

[@ojcolina916]

ive been wanting to try thrive but it looks like they dont ship to canada anymore? do you have any recommendations of where else in canada to look?

[@TheLadynecromancer]

Where did you get your pan and bowl? They are absolutely beautiful

[@insiya4561]

melgroves she said mostly gets fron TJMAX in US, I cant recall what it is in Canada.. since i stay in US

[@TheLadynecromancer]

@@insiya4561 I'm in the US

[@insiya4561]

melgroves yes then TJMAX would be a good idea to get from. I believe the store has since I couldn’t find online at all..

melgroves actually it’s home goods in Canada it’s called home sense

[@peterose249]

What’s the substitute for cashew butter? In where I live there is no sophisticated food like cashew butters and vegan beef broth. Thanks!

[@vanessathevampiress]

Would this be good for weight loss?

[@thenormallife1138]

Do you know if you can replace the nut butter with seed butter? I want to make the pasta but we have nut allergies. Just wondering if you've tried it?

[@saramishi9749]

Hi! I love all of the recipes, especially the smoothie. I would like to make it but I can’t eat bananas, could you recommend an substitute? :>

[@emiliagrac]

Thanks so much for the great video as usual! I've just gone vegan 💚 also could you please do some videos without pasta? Thanks Liv💝💞

[@SheikyPets]

I was just wondering for the mushroom stroganof i was hoping to make it but was confused on when to cook the pasta do you wait for the liquid to start boiling first?

[@ranch260]

If I don't have an instant pot, what can I use to cook the wheat gluten?

[@itslivb]

+ranch 26 you can boil it in a pot! It will take closer to 45 minutes though to fully cook and not be gooey!

[@fdykstrad4]

Can’t seem to access the replies to the first mention... how do we get Thrive Market to ship to Canada?

[@LittleMissCrista]

So yummy!!

[@jadeking3022]

I'm so happy you said you adopted her

[@itslivb]

+Jade King we didn’t adopt her through a shelter- we came across a family in our area who needed to find her a new home ❤️

[@Kx____]

where did you get that cute top at the start?

[@shellrose8202]

Do you think the mushroom stroganoff would taste good with sunbutter??

[@Alanitoo]

Does Thrive Market deliver to Canada?

[@FoxyFitness]

You are stunning! I love powdered peanut butter and I need to need an Instant pot. I mean am I even vegan if I don’t have one? 😂 Thanks for all your content Liv!

[@AwkwardTrencher]

When it comes to the protein absorption thing your body will use ALL of the protein you've ate but only use around 30 grams for muscle building, the rest is used as energy similar to carbs (hence why diets like keto only allow for a moderate protein allowance)

[@persona_duo3930]

Do you think I could use a regular flour instead of wheat gluten for the seitan?

[@SarahStudt]

Nope, wheat gluten is just the protein from regular wheat flour so it won't become an elastic dough if you use regular flour.

[@persona_duo3930]

Sarah Studt Ah ok I see. thanks!

[@nastigyal152]

Gluten isnt lol. Flour wont do anything

[@paulopezbotella7216]

You can "wash" the flour until it's only gluten, look it up. It's a bit tedious and loung though, but if you can't find gluten or it's too expensive it's a good option, I've done seitan both with flour and with gluten, and both work out just fine.

[@shyannekpana]

She's so beautiful it must be because she's vegan... I noticed people who are vegan have very nice skin and they just seem more brighter in the face and eyes.

[@sophiemyers7243]

I had this smoothie for lunch but mixed a bit of coffee liqueur instead of real coffee shot

[@staciemurray514]

[@LauraJO24120]

How do I cook the seitan if I don’t have the pot cooker?:)

[@paulopezbotella7216]

In a normal pot, you can boil it or steam it.

[@LillyFama]

Omg your dog 😍😍😍🥰

[@BiancaAck]

I think the 30g of protein claim was not accurate: the study pointed at that 30g of protein was the maximum amount needed for protein synthesis. Additional protein ingested does not further stimulate muscle protein synthesis. NONETHELESS these additional protein ingested, which are broken down into amino acids by enzymes in our digestive system, ARE STILL ABSORBED and presumably converted into carbohydrates for storage (which can be used if your energy expenditure > energy intake). Trace amounts may be excreted if the protein are not digested by enzymes or not transported across epithelial membrane on our digestive tract by transporters. They are not simply "excreted or not used".

[@valeriamolina1646]

Cutest dog ever !!!!!!!

[@jonathanmejia5878]

The 30g of protein at a time is a myth.

[@purplecarrot8982]

What's the truth?

[@LongCoolTall]

@@purplecarrot8982 i've seen numerous vidoes saying the same, citing studies as well. From a strength/muscle gaining point of view the key is total protein over 24 hours, not x amount every 3 hours etc. That's why you'll see some strong men/women who share their diets and they are only eating 3 times a day, having large quantities of protein per meal.

[@danykaydeen3393]

@@purplecarrot8982 "The optimum amount of protein per meal for muscle building - about 30 grams, according to one study - is sometimes quoted as the maximum amount you can absorb, but the two are not related. Rapidly absorbed protein boosts muscle protein synthesis after exercise, but one way or another, one protein is in your body, protein will be mostly absorbed."

[@chiresehoskie4473]

Definitely. Your body keeps working until it's all synthesized. It doesn't just go "welp. That's 30 grams. I guess I'll just stop here "
