Meat eater here, looking to slowly transition into more plant-based foods. I'm excited to try these!

[@PlantifullyBased]

aw yay! I am glad to hear you are trying some more plant-based foods! if you need any help or recipe suggestions let me know :)

[@lovelyvibes6451]

SAME !!! Also because meat doesn’t taste the same anymore to me ):

[@tejaswiniingle9294]

Best of luck sweety! Lots of love!

[@lara1413]

That's amazing!

[@krisa6580]

My husband and I are also addicted to crispy tofu. I never thought I’d be obsessed with tofu, but here I am, OBSESSED!!

[@PlantifullyBased]

Right?! It’s soooo good! It’s my favorite thing 😍 glad you guys enjoy it too!!!

[@laurajames5713]

I've just made the cauliflower shepherds pie for me and my partner, and we are in love! So tasty, and really easy to make! Thank you :)

Omg using cauliflower DUHHHH 🤩🤩🤩!! I Love these recipes. Plus they are so easy.

[@PlantifullyBased]

it was so good with it! I was nervous and skeptical lol but I did really like it. thanks babes xoxo

[@Amber-bb2bi]

Trying Veganism for a more nourishing and humane lifestyle :) thanks for these!

[@PlantifullyBased]

Yay so glad to hear my recipes can help :)

[@laurapetit591]

Wow, I carb and calories counted this recipe and can't get over how truly low it is. The challenge of being vegetarian/vegan is legumes are so high in carbs so it's a challenge to fill my stomach and keep my calories and carbs low.

[@PlantifullyBased]

yes these recipes are great! focus on volume eating filling meals with lots of veggies spinach, broccoli, cauliflower "rice" makes a big difference!

[@TiaRaini81]

Yassss for that peanut sauce! It will definitely be making an appearance on my next air fried tofu (just my preferred way of cooking my tofu) It looks Yum-Mazing.

[@PlantifullyBased]

thank you Tiffany!! It is so good you are gonna love it! I need to get an air fryer I am so jealous of everyone who has them haha

[@destinyjackson8095]

The tofu bowl looks delicious!

[@PlantifullyBased]

Thank you! It’s one of my favorites!!

[@christinas.5240]

If you don't mind using cornstarch, you can coat the tofu in it before you pan fry. It will make it extra crispy 🥰😉

[@PlantifullyBased]

Yes definitely! One of my favorite tofu tricks :)

[@christinas.5240]

@@PlantifullyBased Thank you so much for these meal recipes!! I'm totally going to try them out!! I have been vegan now for alittle over a month, and I'm loving it!! I lost 20lbs so far!! Lately I've been struggling with health meal ideas, so thank you thank you!! Love your channel!!

[@YourMajesty143]

If you use potato "starch" (aka potato fiber), you can get the same effect but bc it's a resistant starch, you're not adding any carbs that could spike insulin! Keto-friendly hack 😉 Another trick I learned is if you brine the tofu for 15 min beforehand and squeeze out the water (or use a tofu press), it also helps it to crisp in the pan. Using an air fryer or broiler can aid as well, if you've got the equipment to do so. Just another of the many things I've picked up on my 10 year vegan journey! 🤗

[@SallyAnn191]

I usually use cauliflower to make 'ground beef' so using it as the topping will be a bit of an interesting change. The crispy tofu looks delicious.

[@legendarydream6980]

I had no idea that's how you make a shepherds pie, every time I've eaten shepherds pie I've ordered it at a restaurant or store. But its good to know how to make it for myself now. Looks really healthy and really tasty. Great video.

[@PlantifullyBased]

yes, it is really easy to make! typically mashed potatoes would be used instead of the cauliflower mash like in this video but the cauliflower mash on top was also really good! thank you :)

[@stephenmocanu408]

I made this today. It reminded me of childhood memories of my Dad making German potato pancakes, and my partner from El Salvador said - This tastes like Chicken Tamales from El Salvador. Your Shepard's Pie not only was a TEN, it congured up international memories, you are gifted!!!! SUBSRIBED!

[@PlantifullyBased]

Hi Stephen! I’m so so glad you enjoyed the recipe and it brought back some happy memories!!! 🥰 thank you for telling me!

[@EvelynQKelly]

I'm gonna make the tofu recipe this week. It looks delicious!!

[@PlantifullyBased]

wooo hope you enjoy it! :)

[@iamaku09]

Love the pie! Def going to try it but Mash looks too wet, I would squeeze cauliflower dry with a tea towel and skip the milk, vegan sour cream is thicker

[@elissadavis5657]

EVERYTHING u make looks sooo wonderful !!

[@PlantifullyBased]

aw thank you so much Elissa! xox

[@iso5423]

I made the Shepherd's pie for lunch and my sister and I really liked it! I was pleasantly surprised. Thanks for that great recipe:)

[@PlantifullyBased]

Looks yummy! And I love your Pom in the background, mine is laying with me Wright now🐾🐾🐾🐾Cuddles from Canada M

[@PlantifullyBased]

thank you Michelle! awwww how cute they are the best to snuggle!

[@kendallmcguire]

Looks delish, can't wait to try. I will say the plastic/silicone near heat is scaring me though. I would recommend a wooden spoon. :)

[@PlantifullyBased]

Hope you enjoy!

happy to have you here!! :)

[@lilikoijuci]

Made this lastnight and it was amazing! The whole family loved it and my husband is not a fan of shapards pie or mashed potatoes. So that was a huge win! Thank you for the delicious recipe. I was searching everywhere to see if anyone was successful in freezing this recipe and popping it in the oven, I haven't found anything yet. Do you think it would work to freeze and place in the oven from frozen?

[@PlantifullyBased]

Yay! I am so so happy you all enjoyed it! That makes me so happy. I never traded freezing but I do think it would work okay if you make it, freeze it and then warm up again in tne oven! ❤️❤️❤️

[@lilikoijuci]

@@PlantifullyBased I'll give it a try and update here afterwards. Mahalo nui!

[@PlantifullyBased]

@@lilikoijuci yes please let me know thank you! ❤️❤️

[@lilikoijuci]

@@PlantifullyBased Alright! So I assembled the Shepard's pie and froze it. We cooked it the week after. It did ended up taking about 20 minutes longer because we put it in the oven frozen. All in all it came out great.

[@Hendricana]

Yummm

[@PlantifullyBased]

thank you!

[@erinrachelcat]

Great recipes! Just started low carb vegan a couple weeks ago and already seeing results. Are you from Philly area? I detect the accent (I'm from there too :) )

[@PlantifullyBased]

thank you so much! I am from New York!

[@EsaMelly6]

Can i steam the cauliflower instead ?

[@PlantifullyBased]

Sure!

[@elissadavis5657]

God !!!! I love yur videos !!

[@PlantifullyBased]

aw thank you Elissa! It really means a lot xo

[@vsb000]

My only issue with tofu is that I hate when it’s soft in the middle. If I cook it like you showed, is the tofu still soft on the inside?

[@PlantifullyBased]

this tofu is special it is extremely firm and not very spongey. all different tofus have different firmness and different brands of tofu with have different firmness. if you use high protein tofu like I showed you shoudn't have it be very soft inside. it is more like eating chicken where it is just tender on the inside but not mushy and soft. If you need more tofu help I highly recommend watching my tofu 101 video kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XacqirepZpsMk

[@rkkhehra4756]

Tell me to be ur guest to try that awesome recipe of tofu made by you. Where i hv to come dear?

[@SubwayS0ng]

awesome :D

[@PlantifullyBased]

Thank you!

[@brittany09]

Oh she's from Boston 😅

[@PlantifullyBased]

Nope a New Yorker! Haha

[@samuelgodbolt6586]

Is the peanut sauce low carb?

[@PlantifullyBased]

The whole bowl as is for the recipe has 37g of carbs. It depends on your goals and what macros you are potentially trying to hit but I would say that’s a lower carb meal. As I said in the intro this isn’t a vegan keto recipe so don’t expect it to be like 5g or carbs but overall 37g of carbs isn’t very high

[@AnastasiaLaurel]

Carnivore here… hoping to change but still on the fence.

[@PlantifullyBased]

Make it a slow transition! Be patient and kind with yourself and just work on incorporating more plant based meals throughout your week :)

[@AnastasiaLaurel]

@@PlantifullyBased thank you

[@MegTelevised]

My cauliflower mash doesn’t last long

[@PlantifullyBased]

What do you mean?

[@oolala53]

40 carbs a serving is not low carb! Corn! Peas! Cornstarch! Maple syrup! Sorry, my blood sugar is freaking out. Curious what your omega 6/omega 3 ratio is for those meals.

[@PlantifullyBased]

Everyone’s definition of low carb is different I would still stand by the fact that these are low carb recipes. If you ate 3 meals a day at 40g carbs that’s 120g carbs for the whole day. That’s a very low carb day. It’s not even a full tablespoon of maple syrup in the tofu bowl. I don’t know why you’re coming to complain, if you don’t like them or it doesn’t fit your personal needs no one is forcing you to make them or be here

[@lisajpomona]

Is high protein tofu less watery? I mean do you have to press the water out like extra firm? I would probably eat more tofu if that process wasn’t such a pain. Love your videos btw.

[@PlantifullyBased]

thank you Lisa! yes high protein tofu comes basically vacuum sealed there is a small amount of water but you do not need to press it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6XacqirepZpsMk this video covers all things tofu if you need anymore help!

[@johnchiappone2163]

The audio is bad.

[@ariel3031]

You’re supposed to eat carbs

U r so pretty

[@PlantifullyBased]

aw thank you beautiful! :)

[@hollywood5128]

Corn, carrots, onions, and peas are ALL loaded with carbs. I'm sorry to be a downer, but the title of this video is misleading.

[@PlantifullyBased]

I explained in the beginning everything about what low carb means to me and that it’s less than 40g carb per serving. If you are trying to consume around 100-150g of carbs a day which is considered low carb not to be confused with keto this would fit perfectly within the macros nothing misleading at all :)

[@kangakid5984]

@@PlantifullyBased The carbs can be lowered even further if people pre cook, cool and then reheat the corn, carrots and peas. This makes the starch more resistant. These are wonderful recipes and I cant wait to try them. Thank you so much.

[@pk_max4733]

Sorry but the Title is just wrong, 38 g carbs is not low carb

[@PlantifullyBased]

it will depend on your goals and how many carbs you need to eat per day. However, around 100-150g of carbs per day is considered low carb eating. 50g to 100g is more in the keto range. So yes, you can eat one of these meals and then eat two other meals around 30-40g of carbs and be in a low carb range around 100g of carbs.

[@pk_max4733]

Plantifully Based ok if you are thinking like this its ok, but in my opinion low carb is under 10 g .

[@PlantifullyBased]

That really would be more so considered keto range in my opinion. 10g of carbs in a meal is extremely low. As I stated in the video these are not meant to be keto friendly just meal options for people who may be looking to reduce some of their carb intake.

[@annmayeobispo1178]

This recipe is high on carbs

[@PlantifullyBased]

30 to 40g of carbs in a meal is not high. unless you are doing keto which is not good for your body, we run on carbs and they are an essential macronutrient.

[@danieltrier7116]

Thats not low carb

[@PlantifullyBased]

www.healthline.com/nutrition/5-most-common-low-carb-mistakes#TOC_TITLE_HDR_2 low carb is anywhere between 100-150g of carbs a day. these are low carb, not keto and as I said in the beginning everyone has a different interpretation of what low carb means.
