What I Eat To Fuel My Active Vegan Life | Full Day Of Eating 🌱💪

If you're having trouble with the quality of the video try on mobile, chrome or update your current browser. I'm curious to know if you did have any issues. Sorry if you did. I'm not sure if you noticed but this video was filmed on a new camera! The channel had a great few months so we decided to upgrade to bring the highest quality video to you. We went from our Canon M50 to the Sony A7C. #sorrycanon Apparently I have some learning to do as it seems to have uploaded in a different format. Learning as I go, the only way to do it!

Yea it didn’t work for me

It says no stream tap to retry for me on the youtube app, but on safari it works. So try that or vice-versa 👍

Hey Derek. I'm a young teen lifter and you were one of my inspirations to go vegan. I've been following the vegan lifestyle for over a year now. Thanks for all the great content.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Way to go man! I hope you feel great. Thanks for the comment.

I love when you guys take us along on adventures. I said slippery avocado before you did lol. I told my daughter we need to get some vitamin N.

I recommend starting potatoes in cold water to cook them more evenly and gently! Plus no scare of splashing boiling water :)

[@GottaloveLudvig]

you are absolutely right!

[@kitphoenix9204]

Grown below the ground - cold water for cooking, grown above the ground - hot water. Simple

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

Do you sometimes consider going back to (trail) running again or maybe picking up other sports/activities. Also, celebrating four years veganism (after being vegetarian for twenty years) this month thanks to you. Keep up the amazing work! You are a great model and make the world better

[@AlexMonajemi]

vegan diets = sugar sugar sugar.

Yes paddy pans are supper. First time I ate those I was 15yrs old. I absolutely love them. My sister cut them in chunks, steamed them then added salt, pepper & little real butter. I need to plant myself paddy pan plants. Did you ever wonder - - Why dont stores sell them???. Your video was great as usual. I like your nature hikes. Have a great day!! God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon

Good food. Good company. Love nature. We live 15 min. from the coast and live in a 2000 acre wildlife sanctuary with a river through it. Very blessed.

[@CastledarkDweller27]

Seems in a lot of your older videos, u would mention in passing..."oh theres a squirrel, hes so cute" or something, and keep moving...& i was always shouting...NOOO! GO BACK MATE! FILM THE SQUIRRELLYGUYS!! SHOWW USSS THE TREECRITTERS DEREK!! (am an Aussie, never seen squirrels, hence the madlove & fascination) then today... awww ...you INTERACTED with one! man i was squealing in delight! LOVE how u have a treat jar & water jar for them, SO kind & considerate! THANKYOU Derek, for filming that little snacking sweety~pie, it was lovely! (of course its nothing to do with food or fitness but it feels like u actually HEARD the pleas from us animal lovers in your critter-crazy crew! lol)

[@wendyfilice7101]

Great idea. I am going to sprint a bit. I was running with my 5yr old granddaughter who said “Nani your so slow” 😳🤣. So I caught up to her and tapped her and then tripped and fell 😳. I need to practice running again.

[@MCppp]

Missing the gym vlog, thank you for bringing us the experience!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Nice! Thanks for hanging out.

[@miniwolfang9563]

Peanut butter and apple sandwich is a yummy combo for me. Love hanging out with you and Crystal in the Vitamin N surroundings!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes you are right! A little cinnamon too. Thanks for the nice comment.

[@brooke__rabone]

Hey Derek, I'm a full time dancer and your videos are always inspiring me to eat better to fuel my active lifestyle! You always have the best meal ideas & hacks

[@Dudlesful]

Tip - soak the date for an hour or 2 before adding to your dressing. It dissolves in the dressing rather than chunks.

[@richmcbride9269]

I love the full day of eating/working out videos--excellent inspiration! I've enjoyed your videos for years, but I have to say they have been really outstanding this past year. The amount of work you put in definitely shows!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you so much! I've kind of settled on uploading 1 video a week (although I want to bring back the 2 vids/week) and it keeps me in a good flow, but I do feel pressured to make sure it's a good one if it's the only upload that week. I'm glad the effort comes through, I take a lot of pride in my videos so thank you!

[@rachels432]

16:33 you guys are the cutest when you’re just being natural together in front of the camera, tiny moments like these just makes me smile, I love it.

Peanut butter and apple - yummmm! Awesome video!

[@TimDrescher]

Thanks for the inspiration! I’m 55 and still play soccer on Sundays with the young guys so I can get in my sprints. When I’m chasing down the ball, I feel like I’m in my 20s again. Plants have totally jacked up my endurance and recovery.

Your recipes look delicious, and I like how you use simple ingredients that are already in your kitchen, so you don't have to go out and buy all new ingredients to make a dish. And your videos inspire me to add more raw veggies to all of my meals!

My daughter's fav snack is apple w peanut butter.

The slippery avocado part 🤣

[@Simnettnutrition]

There were many follies in this video. Haha.

[@Vanessa-fs7oz]

I prefer a homemade dressing to anything store bought nowadays since they all seem to have too much salt and oil, and my go-to recipe is pretty similar to yours. Tahini, water, lemon juice, hummus, nooch, stone ground mustard, onion/garlic powder, paprika, etc. I don't usually add dates because I'm often too lazy to use my blender, but I've added dates before and it's awesome! That pattypan squash is picture perfect 🖼💛

I used to be a big time runner. Like lot’s of miles and I even did all races. Then I got arthritis.I had to get hip surgery. So now I do some walking . But do yoga with weight lifting everyday . I usually eat oatmeal filled with blueberries and a banana. Unsweetened almond milk. And a smoothie filled with blackberries and blueberries and a banana.. with some organic protein powder ! Thank you for sharing your amazing day with working out and recipes. I’m just starting out with ny new lifestyle of plant based foods. How does everyone eat vegan in restaurants??

I agree with Chrystal (sp?); I love water, but it has to be clear, or better yet a swimming pool. Things swimming in the water with me really freaks me out (I know I'm strange 🙃). Thanks for showing us your Day of Eating; I got some good ideas.

Totally agree about the sprinting. When you go long periods of time without sprinting it starts to feel unnatural. Def an important athletic feat that should be practiced/maintained

I do eat a bit of pasta naturally because I am Italian. But my favorite carbohydrate sources to eat or oatmeal which I have for breakfast every single day of the week no matter what. And I also love potatoes which are my second favorite carbohydrate source. They are very filling for very few calories. And come on! Who doesn’t love potatoes?

[@kristalclearly9777]

I spent the first 35 years of my life hating peanut butter! Then one day I decided to make some (with just peanuts) to make treats for my dogs. Licked the spoon when I finished making it and fell in love. But the only way I eat it is with apple slices 😋 😍
