What I Eat in a Week: Plantifully Lean Review | Plant-Based Vegan

[@susanneattia5953]

Hi Jeremy, just came across your channel yesterday & I love you and your family, especially for keeping it so real. Your family’s reactions remind of my own sometimes. I got a suggestion for an awesome cookbook for you to review and feed your family for a week. My kids are not fully vegan and absolutely love the recipes in this book. “Practically Vegan” by Nisha Melvani. She uses minimal oil but can easily be substituted with water. I’m in Mississauga btw👋🏻

[@pbwithjeremy]

Greetings neighbour!!! Adding this book to the list! My kids aren't fully vegan either - they're pescatarian for the most part, but all our meals are vegan - unless they make their own (sometimes they'll add cheese to what I make) Thanks for the kind words!!

She always dose the 50/50 plate. 1/2 starch 1/2 lean veggies.

[@ladykat77]

A couple of tips for the pudding. 1. To keep the skin from forming put a layer of plastic wrap loosely but directly on the top of the pudding. Don’t put in the fridge until it has cooled down. That helps it not have the layer of condensation on top. 2. When using cornstarch or arrowroot to thicken it needs to be cooked for about 10 min to completely activate the cornstarch.

[@marinajensen6607]

I love how you are trying different cookbooks. Based on your reviews I have bought two of them, thank you!!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Oh wow!! Which ones?! And thanks!!!

[@poppyr4639]

Which ones?

Haha Love your Swedish accent 🤣New to your channel, cant stop watching 🙌

[@daniellemary9693]

you need to use soy milk to her dressings to make them thicker, almond milk or other milks do not work as well :) Just a tip that I have learned from her dressings.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for the tip!

[@sharonmercer526]

First time watching your channel and really enjoying it. We've been a long time fan of Kiki and I get it when you talk about it being simple and Kiki is all about the simple but also these are recipes that helped her loose 70 pounds and keeping it off for years. I don't mind the water in the pancakes instead of milk because it's more weight loss friendly, that kind of thing. I will be checking out your recipes too !

[@pbwithjeremy]

Appreciate all of this - and you're right about why she makes certain choices. I just know that as someone who lost 170 pounds eating this way, there's way to add flavour without adding calories. the 30 calories per cup of non-dairy milk is nothing in the grand scheme, especially when it's split up over several servings. It's the difference of 5-10 calories per person, etc... Appreciate this feedback!

[@dlatish]

[@catfish9539]

I love Kiki, although it’s funny she made a cookbook because for the longest time she absolutely hated cooking!! 😂I also suggest you take a look at Broccoli mum. She’s English, so inventive with simple easy ingredients and turned into the most delicious combinations.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I follow and adore her already!

[@joeygames_5]

Thank you so much for this and all your videos. Being wfpb it is really crucial to find more creative people making real, relatable content and family recipes. I have a teenage son and it's not always easy to find recipes that work for both of us. I actually have Kiki's book. She's amazing. I will say she does eat a ton of veggies, even if her recipes don't always include a lot of them. Everything is meant to be eaten with a side of veg. ❤

[@woodsy381]

I love that you borrowed the book from the library!

[@pbwithjeremy]

LOVE the library. Cook books are expensive! So I like to get them from the library first to take them for a test run!

[@marykaren7542]

I haven't tried the pudding recipe yet, but now I need to try it to see how mine turns out. I've been following Kiki for a long time now.... You didn't mention that She always adds a little box on the recipes that says 'Make sure to pair with a vegetable or fruit side for your 50/50 plate. Don't forget to eat your veggies first!'.... ALSO, the southwest ranch recipe is 20 servings. Not 2.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for adding this information!

[@DimaRakesah]

I love Kiki's recipes! She has a TON on her website if you're wanting to try some out before buying the book. I have the book on my wishlist for now. RE: Oat flour pancakes... yeah that's just how they are. I am wheat free (migraine trigger) so I don't have the option to use wheat and sub with oat flour a lot. It's nice because it's easy and cheap (just blend up some oats) but it's VERY dense and sits like a rock. I find flours with corn in them are tastier but significantly more expensive. Anything labeled "gluten free" is expensive just because of the label, it's so annoying! Like we get a brown rice pasta and it's almost 4x more expensive than whole wheat pasta. WTF? RE: Her cheese sauce, I actually use only potatoes in mine. I like carrots, but I find that in the cheese sauce it makes it too... earthy? I also add more seasoning than she does but I think I make a larger bath over all. I also find a TBSP of hemp seeds is a good replacement for the cashews if you're trying to lower the fat/calories for weight loss.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for all this - try the gluten-free pancake mix I posted of my own in the description below - it might be the ticket for you! Thanks for all your thoughts on this! Luckily where we live the brown rice pasta isn't too bad price wise.

[@douglasrobert796]

Hey Jeremy! Just discovered your channel last night as it showed up in my feed - and I’m very grateful it did! I’ve been following many plant based and vegan channels the past couple of years and I have to say that you and your family bring a fresh, new perspective that is as genuine as it is entertaining and informative. Time well spent. It feels like we’ve been friends for years. Cheers from Pickering!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Greetings new friend from down the road!!! This is honestly such a wonderful message to get Entertaining, Genuine and Informative is 100% what I'm striving for here, so to know that's coming across means the world to me. Thanks so much for the comment and welcome to the channel - lots of stuff here to keep you going!!!

KIki always suggests a 50/50 plate or the equivalent thereof i.e. half the plate full of starchy vegetables and the other half of green vegetables. It would be nice if, in your criticism, you didn't misrepresent her. Also the name of the game for her is little or no fat so no additions of coconut cream. KJT.

[@christinelid9302]

The lack of vegetables in the recipes is understandable for the way she eats… she makes a 50/50 plate with half of the starchy recipe, and half fresh veg of her choice. So you might have an enchilada, and lots of steamed broccoli… I love many of her recipes! They’re simple, easy, and tasty!

Thanks Jeremy for another fun video. Love your family, they’re so honest. Your review basically agrees with reviews I’ve read about this book. It’s lovely but very basic for those of us that have been following this lifestyle for awhile. I enjoy Kiki’s videos, they’re beautifully done. She shares about her family, their life on their homestead, maintaining her weight loss, inner beauty, etc. I haven’t tried many of her recipes. I would enjoy seeing what your family thinks about some of the recipes in Dreena’s Kind Kitchen, by Dreena Burton. Have a great weekend!

Thank you for this! I've had lots of people request Dreena's book so it's on my list for sure - I'll get to it as some point - thank you! This is a good beginner book, but for my family it was just a bit too basic - still loaded with helpful stuff for people.

I’m glad you did this book. I’m part of the others that suggested it. Ever time I followed the recipe to a tee it sucked, either it’s runny or tasteless if you look at when she makes the recipe on her channel they are either thick, browned just right, try doing her potatoes, or air fry something, she’s not being honest with the recipe, she changes it up. I’m glad that all the recipes you made didn’t come out either so it’s not me. Look when she wined about not getting a Nama juicer that the company didn’t send her. She wined on KZbin till the company sent her a free one. She’s very cute & pretty presents herself well that what people like. She followed Dr. McDougall and lost all her weight, you can’t follow her recipes like they are because there tasteless nobody could eat this bland you have to add more spices & thicker. ❤

[@goingfruitty5531]

First let me say that i support all vegan channels. Now, i feel this is a very unfair review of her book. This book is geared towards weightloss and follows Dr McDougall's protocols. This is an unfair review because you have changed almost every recipe. You have either added ingredients or completely changed an ingredint. If you want to review someone else's work, then follow them exactly and for what the purpose of the recipe is.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Fair enough! Totally respect this view - however my view as a home cook is that a recipe is a blueprint - not a finished thing. It's not a lego set where it comes with everything I need. Sometimes you need to improvise either based on ingredients or your own tastes. I think I was pretty transparent with the fact that I was shifting some things up. Really appreciate this feedback - but this is how I review cookbooks, so this channel might just not be your jam in that regard. I do try my best to follow the recipes as-is. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@kefirheals7383]

I like Kiki's recipe book. I call her recipes "idea recipes" for learning how to put your favorite meal together, yet keeping it weight-loss friendly. The ranch dressing really thickens up in the fridge. So, if you make it the day before you intend to eat it, it's the perfect consistency. I love enchiladas, but I hate enchilada sauce, whether it's store-bought or homemade. It's too" earthy and dirty" tasting for hubby and me. That's the best way to describe it. We make our own sauce that is much lighter in taste. And we double the corn tortillas, using a thicker brand. We feel like the tortillas disintegrate and get lost during the cook time. So we like the thick corn tortillas - they're called "street style." (Plus I'm a lazy cook, and she admittedly says she hates to cook, so I feel like she addresses that in the way she prepares her meals.)

[@pbwithjeremy]

Love this! And yes, totally get the idea of a lazy person cookbook. I think you've described the way to use this book perfectly - and thanks for the insight into your own kitchen habits! If you ever wanna give enchilada sauce another spin try this one I made up for this video - I normally don't like it either and this hit the spot. Thanks!!!

I have a book suggestion! Thug Kitchen - it is vegan and it’s actually fun to read the instructions because of the language and i think you’ll get a kick out of it.

[@pbwithjeremy]

I LOVE that series - I own them all. They've rebranded as Bad Manners - but I'll get to one of these books for sure. Should I do the original or the newest? (they have another one coming this fall)

[@chloedog73]

@@pbwithjeremy I love your channel and your family! I would love for you to do any of them but I know thug kitchen best. That creamy peanut slaw is to die for 😋😋

[@pbwithjeremy]

@@chloedog73 Awww thank you! YES - that recipe is FIRE!!!!

Hi Jeremy, just came across your channel. I have a cookbook suggestion...mine lol. I'd like an honest review of it. It's Plant-Based for Anyone: A Guide to Creating, Cooking & Enjoying Plant-Based Foods. I also host a KZbin channel here with my dad.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Hey Jeanette! We'd be happy to give you a super honest review of the book! E-mail me at [e-mail] an I can tell you where to mail a copy :) Looking forward to it!!!

[@jeannetteshealthyover50]

@@pbwithjeremy Thank you, that would be super helpful. Will do!

[@sheliaclayton-j2s]

I really love your videos. I would love it if you would look at reviewing one or both of these books Plant-Based Delicious or The Plant-based Cookbook by Ashley Madden. Thank you.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you!! I LITERALLY just walked to the library and snagged Plant-Based Delicious so look out for that video in the upcoming weeks!

Have you done the plant over processed? By Andrea hannemann She has a amazing chickpea cookie recipe our family loves!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Not yet! I'll add it to the list!! Thank you!

[@lorileeharrison461]

I love Kiki’s cookbook as the recipes are easy but I do enhance them as you did by adding more vegetables. Another cookbook to try is “Straight Up Food” by Cathy Fisher. I didn’t check to see whether you had already tested out her recipes but her Tu-No Salad and Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are both super delicious! Thanks for all the candid comments as they are really helpful to others.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for this! I don't see Cathy's book in my library's system - but I'll keep looking!

[@libbyreed8588]

☝️Another vote for Cathy Fisher’s book.

[@ckveggie6006]

thanks for suggesting those 2 recipes by Cathy Fisher. I have made some of her recipes and they always turn out great.

[@ckveggie6006]

@@pbwithjeremysince Cathy’s book is not in your library, maybe you could try recipes from her website. Just a suggestion. Looking forward to your next cookbook review this Sat.

[@klb9082]

You cracked me up on this one! I will say - this was my first vegan cookbook so it really did help me to see ideas that were not necessarily a recipe! 😄

[@pbwithjeremy]

I'm glad. And yes - I think it's a solid beginner "idea" book.

[@robinhart1390]

I’ve been vegan for 3 years and love this book❣️Her channel is awesome as well. She’s one of the first influencers I followed. I highly recommend her book, it’s gorgeous too!🥰

[@pbwithjeremy]

So good! I think it’s a great beginner book for people.

[@patriciaremonda4789]

You guys are FUN! Really enjoyed this video. So I have this cookbook and the very best recipe in it is Thai-inspired Noodle Salad. Try it! So dang delicious! I am addicted and make it probably 3 times a month. But seriously I could eat it practically every day.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Awww thank you!!! If I ever pick the book up again I’ll try it. We have some recipes of our own like that we use so I know why you must love it so much!!!!

[@jennybushnell9995]

Have you checked out "fully raw Kristina" in Hawaii? She is similar to Kiki and has her own huge garden her latest recipe was cucumber spirals with a delicious taziki dressing! Looked sooooo good! !!

[@pbwithjeremy]

I will check it out!!! Thanks for recommending!

[@sunnyshealthcoaching]

I love Kristina's Channel! I just watched her mini "cheesecake" video. And her raw icing recipe... OMG!🤩😋

"Similar"? Kristina is raw.

[@bettymaugeri7316]

I have this cookbook but haven’t tried any of the recipes yet. Disappointed that all the recipes you made were not winners. I love Kiki’s channel - her dishes look so yummy!

[@pbwithjeremy]

It happens. My kids are also harsh critics. I hope it came across that I thought it was good for someone starting out or losing weight.

[@joyfullyveg2609]

He put a twist on the recipes and didn't follow them exactly. I feel it's not a good review since Kiki's book is to help with weight loss. And he's telling people to add almond butter for "more fat".

[@pbwithjeremy]

To clarify - I believe I mentioned why she had the recipe as she did - for people who were looking for weightloss, and was merely suggesting that if that wasn't someone's goal and they wanted to add more flavour, that was a way to do it. That said - I appreciate the criticism - I believe that recipes for books to be made by home cooks aren't to be written in stone - they get modified by the person making it, but the idea stays in tact. If that's not your thing then I understand. Appreciate you checking out the video either way!

[@carlajilek8310]

The whole point to her cookbook is simple cause she doesn’t like to cook. It also follows Starch Solution by Dr. John McDougal. I never use Coconut anything since my husband had an extensive heart surgery. Dr. Estelstynn says coconut on the outside of your body only. To high in saturated fats.

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thanks for writing. I understand her intention behind the book but that doesn’t change how we felt about it. If you love it that’s great. It’s just our opinion.

[@karenfaircloth3335]

I have been thoroughly enjoying your videos. The longer you’ve done them, the better they’ve gotten. I’m plowing through them. I was wondering if you could possibly share any information on the chocolate covered quinoa that I’ve seen you use a few times. If it matters, I’m in the US. Thank you very much!

[@pbwithjeremy]

Thank you! Glad to hear we're continuing to improve!!!! the only place I've ever see the chocolate quinoa is our bulk store - but you can also get it here: amzn.to/46kt4IC

As an indian (who doesn't eat a ton of spice) , I'm underwhelmed by her chickpea curry recipe.. there was something wrong with the spices and ratios

Watched a video and saw 2 huge BOTTLE OF KETCHUP......on a table ISN'T that 2 bottles of sugar with some processed tomatoes...plant base does not include KETCHUP😮😮😮😮😮

[@pbwithjeremy]

Ketchup is most certainly plant-based - there's no animal products in ketchup.

[@pbwithjeremy]

If you're referring to it not being WFPB you're correct. It's not. 90% of the way we eat is WFPB and sometimes we add a little ketchup on top of some items - very rarely. Not a crime. And our choice.
