📲 Yay! Our Pick Up Limes app is finally here (1-week free trial!): bit.ly/PUL_app 🎉 👀For those who have been asking, the bento boxes are from Monbento (I have not been sponsored by them to make these videos). You can find them here: amzn.to/2vTgRbV ❤

[@cynthia8621]

Stumbled upon your channel and noticed we have the same bento box! Great recipes I will try them soon, they inspire me! :D

You should be sponsored so you can give us a discount code 😉

[@aayz99]

Where do you get the bento boxes .Lina p.s I 'm a kid

[@cynthia8621]

The Bento box she has are from a company called MonBento and they are based in France. They have an internet site. Depending on where you live, there may be stores that have them in stock or they can be bought on the internet via the site. They can be customized with the colors you like and stuff like that though they tend to be on the pricey side (my own assessment). Totally worth it though, they are tough and can be microwaved. :) Hope that helps.

[@makeupandthings5041]

i don't know why, but there's something about you that makes me trust you with my whole life

[@Mayyy41]

I agree. Something about Sadia makes me think "Yes, this is it! This is what I was in search for my whole life"

[@praiseworship8158]

I just recently started watching her videos and she looks so honest and sincere. I'm preparing myself to venture into the vegan world. Sadia do you have spanish style recipes ? I'm from PR and it's hard to be creative with Puerto Rico stuff

[@virginiamorelli5282]

Oh my God yes.

[@Rainterry02]

That's how she gets you

[@pamweakland3918]

that's so funny...I just started watching her and I feel the same...she seems so sincere and a natural at doing the videos and I love her recipes and tips

[@nikoletteharrison4035]

I'm a young teen with an ambition of eating right, exercising right, and getting more organized with my life. Now i"m not a vegan but i still try to make all of your recipes even on a fixed budget. i love your videos and you really inspire me to stay positive and have a better life. You are my go to you-tuber and i watch about 3-4 of your videos everyday. Thank you for making your videos and keep up the good work. i literally love you and your lifestyle.

[@ThisIsTori_]

Nikolette Harrison Your determination is inspiring! Keep it up! Good luck to you, young one.

[@AnaesthesiaDoc]

It’s nice to hear that there is another teen watching these videos and trying to be healthy and organized!! Keep going!🙌🏻

[@aveganmusicandbooklover3308]

Hello fellow vegan teen🙃

[@elaiolab4971]

Same here, she’s amazing!

[@jacquelynroe9036]

Good for you! I hope things are going well. I didn’t get healthy with eating etc until my 30’s and I SO wish I had started sooner! 💛

[@roisinmurp]

I think Sadia could make a video about odd socks and I'd still find it enriching

[@emy1367]

I'm not vegan but these recipes look really tasty. I'd eat everything. Please don't stop making your food videos, they're wonderful

[@TheTastyVegan]

We also get a lot of comments like this one in our recipes. I think that is one of the best comments one of vegan youtubers can get because I feel like our ultimate goal is to show people how vegan food can be healthy AND tasty. So thank you for your comment in behalf of all of us😊

[@leahcd4845]

The Tasty Vegan its rude that youre trying to get her subscribers to go to your page by replying to comments on her videos ..!

[@hopemackk]

Leah CD it’s their job dude. The internet works like that.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Dinner in lunch in one? You are a genius, though I'm not surprised because you are full of helpful knowledge and delicious ideas! Love you, Sadia!

[@PickUpLimes]

Thank you, Nisha! ❤

[@jsas2047]

Its been 2 years💫 Hope your mind is in a better place today 💕

[@ninac8818]

Your recipes are really interesting, because they are "balanced" (as we would say in french to talk about a meal). So much people posting videos on youtube with supposedly "healthy" and vegan recipes, but truely unbalanced (not enough fibers or proteins...). Good work !!!

[@sketchingwithemy9900]

Nina C We call it that in America too lol

[@thevalkyrie143]

"that's a wrap"....i snorted because...its...a...wrap....lol

[@olivia-oz8uk]

You remind me of my teacher this year... and she is super nice and smart ❤️ I will definitely be making the wrap :)

[@ssssssssss13]

omg these look sooooo amazing. it gets so boring seeing all the same vegan recipes over and over again so i really appreciate how unique these are! can't wait to try them

[@Liora.y]

YESSS!!! SO FREAKING HELPFUL! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

[@noemicolombo4031]

[@TheTastyVegan]

Yeah this is an awesome idea! Maybe we try to make a video like this to make it a little different from our usual recipes😊

[@Pacifica1]

I love the clarity of video & your speech. I can't wait to try all, mostly the agave zest over fruits, thanks!

[@schattenengel6806]

I have very recently been finding myself to come back to these kind of videos because we we discovered our love of hiking, biking and camping and those packed lunches have proven to be amazing for those days to take with us to enjoy and regain energy :)

[@Bribrebrobru]

I literally just watched at least 20-30 of your videos. I’m obsessed. Cannot wait to go grocery shopping to try these recipes!

[@hannah5734]

Love the fact that I just bought basically all the ingredients of the 2nd box to make for dinner, even the spicy tofu strips. Such a coincidence.

[@laurabrown2806]

I love these types of videos!! They give me so much inspiration and motivation to try new things 🍏🍌🌯 Thanks for all the ideas 😄💚

[@rotsencaraballo4613]

Zadya, thanks for sharing your videos with us. I must say that your voice and words are always so relaxing. Your lifestyle encourages me to follow a healthy and minimalistic lifestyle

[@saoirsechappell9671]

Thank you so much for all these videos! It has made transitioning much smoother. I can prepare meals for when I visit relatives and friends so I can stay on track and stay healthy! Seriously has taken a huge weight off my shoulder. With all the recipes and what not on the internet, I felt overwhelmed, but using the bento box and breaking it down into versatile meals that have simple and transferable ingredients has made it easy for me. Thank you!!

[@reallifewithrachael6712]

I love how refreshing and colorful the fruit salad looks! Have you ever experimented with making homemade falafel as a protein/filler for your wraps? Would love to know if you have a recipe you like! :D

[@reallifewithrachael6712]

Wow this looks so tasty! p.s Watching your videos and your recipes has enabled me to go 90% vegan! I only eat dairy on the weekends now as a small treat, but I feel the urge less and less every day. I feel so much better, inside and out! Thank you for sharing with us all!

[@PickUpLimes]

Aw so glad to read this, Rachael - thank YOU so much for sharing it with me :D

[@Margar02]

Real Life With Rachael I found a falafel patty recipe years ago that I love. I sometimes make round patties, or roll out logs and flatten for a wrap-optimized shape!

[@tychesatokoala1578]

I tried the noodles recipe, it was amazing!!! I made some minor improvisations though, such as adding the bell pepper first to the wok- I like it when it cooks longer, it becomes softer and sweeter. I also added curry and sweet chili sauce instead of the paste. But I think following the original recipe would be equally delicious! Thank you Sadia for this great video, looking forward to try all the recipes 😋

[@barbhayes5613]

Love that you include hearty (and heart-healthy) recipes that are filling for the coming cold winter days! I'll be going out of town in November and would like to freeze a few meals these will be great!

[@Misterrcheshire]

been on a binge watch of your vids.... your tone and composure has not changed, you look genuinely content and fulfilled and that veganism shows through that!

[@tasnim1559]

i'm going back on tuesday & i'm sooo stressed about back to school but ur videos always calm me down for some reason

[@onichi2995]

Her presentation of her is beautiful and welcome too very healthy. I heart that :)

[@XoxoSher]

I just have to say, I love your videos so much. From the actual content to the aesthetic, your soothing voice and the quality of the production. I really love your plant video - would love to see more of those and maybe some content on your home/ atmospheres!

[@Camille_Boomer77000]

I discovered the channel last night and have been binge watching the videos all morning long. The channel is awesome and full of helpful advice. Thank you so much and much love from Vancouver BC :)

[@MeghanReads]

That cauliflower wrap looks so yummy! I can't wait to try it (I love my monbento box)

[@Raddiebaddie]

Yay! ❤ can't wait to try all of these!

[@xoxoaymee]

Not only are you informative and creative, but you’re soooo soothing! I’ve been going back and forth on whether or not to try veganism again and you’ve literally put me at ease. Otherworldly and just absolutely amazing!

[@karislee7864]

I like how you talk about the alternatives right in the video! Super easy to follow and helpful!

[@natalyc4028]

I love your videos and your channel!! 💖 Your videos are soo relaxing and I get happy each time you upload!

[@ninichen2466]

I am stressing severely about applying for colleges. Watching your video just calms some of those uneasiness. Thank you for creating these amazing videos!!

[@Natalia19901028]

I absolutely looooooooove that you include desert as regular part of a meal! Thank you for that. For me, a desert is a must, as I always crave something sweet and indulgent after dinner.

[@lunaaerin4762]

Thank you so much! I've been enjoying your videos for a while now, and they've helped me a lot - it's finals period for university students in Italy, and when I'm stressed I just find it's so hard to eat at all, but looking at all of this delicious food makes it a little bit easier for me! You're awesome

[@user-ef1uc2vw9k]

ahhhh i was looking for vegan lunch ideas!!! thank you so much sadia:)

[@NirvanaaFreak]

I really like that you are also in holland, that means I can get EVERY ingredient at my local supermarket and do not need to seek for alternatives. :D

[@jolienvsndijk]

NirvanaaFreak wait really? I can usually spot a Dutch accent from a mile away and I would never have guessed she's Dutch. Though the ketjap and sambal did surprise me since you never see those in American recipes.

[@elisaslegers8827]

NirvanaaFreak Yess! 🙌

[@eatsmartbyj7909]

I know, right? I´m from Belgium and it´s so refreshing to see food options that are actually available to me and not just the (to be fair, pretty cool) stuff they have in the US and the UK.

[@Happyiii123]

Sadia, thank you for a great content! I like that your presentation is so organized, well-timed, clean and beautiful. You inspire me to cook more and take better care of myself.

[@EmsLdn]

As a consequence of watching your channel, I added the same style bento box to my Amazon wish list and got it from my family for my birthday - so beyond chuffed! Your food is a feast for the tummy and the eyes! I look forward to each new post from your channel - your videos are really appreciated! :D

You can use hydrated TVP in place of veggie grounds! It's way cheaper and I use it in everything from chili to meatballs. Great recipes! I've been recommending your channel to everyone I know lately.

[@PickUpLimes]

Thanks for the support, Leah! :D

[@Pacifica1]

Leah What's TVP & where can I purchase? Thanks.

[@hayleajackson4222]

TVP is 'textured vegetable protein' made from soy...it has the consistency of ground beef (mince). You can buy it from most bulk food or health food stores :)

[@Pacifica1]

Haylea Jackson Thanks! I will ask the natural foods co-op if they carry.

[@qarpiyasirena6472]

[@barbaralee9995]

You make vegetarianism look so simple and DELICIOUS!! Does your diet include supplements/vitamins?

[@eatsmartbyj7909]

Hi Barbara. I cannot answer for Sadia of course, but a supplement that every vegan needs to take is B12. It is so important and as a nutritionist, I´m sure she would agree.

[@barbaralee9995]

Thank you so much for responding. I so want to try being vegetarian. I've been told that I need to plan very carefully to avoid anemia. I tried it for six months and had massive hair loss and decided it wasn't for me. But at that time I wasn't really informed about the diet. I'm thinking of trying again. Thanks so much.

[@eatsmartbyj7909]

My pleasure! If your main problem was anemia, you could try adding more plant-based iron sources and make sure that you eat something containing a decent amount of vitamin c at the same time (helps with absorption) and ideally no coffee or tea with the same meal as those reduce absorption. For some foods (like spinach) the iron becomes more available when cooked than if you were to consume it raw. Hope this helps! 🙂 good look on your journey and if becoming a full on vegan or vegetarian right away seems to difficult, take it one step at a time, at your own pace 🙂

[@nikkislife7812]

THIS MADE MY DAY 😝

[@Curlsbel90]

I made the roasted cauliflower & potato wraps. Absolutely delicious, every ingredient compliments the other. The fact that it can be made ahead of time will certainly come in handy!

"Ketchup" in America is a super creamy tomato like sauce that a lot of us use on burgers, dipping sauce for fries and/or nuggets. Interesting that ketchup is different in other countries.

[@JustaiiSz]

Ketchup is the same all over the world. The Indonesian soysauce called "Ketjap" is different but sounds alot like ketchup.

[@ditaprim]

It's soy sauce but in Indonesia the writing is "kecap". It's different with ketchup but the pronounce sound similar. 😁

[@msanotorini3278]

In the Philippines we have Banana Catsup or (Banana Sauce)

[@Rsanban]

I think everyone knows what ketchup is. Ketjap is something else.

[@tiffanyrankin9059]

Kecap Manis is what to look for as it is the sweet soy sauce. The saltier version is Kecap Asin.

I'm eating the stuffed bell peppers right now and they are delicouus!🤗 I used white beans instead of mung beans and leftover red rice I made with a spice mix which made the filling even more tasty. 🥰
