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!

[@JJ-vh8iu]

Yea it didn’t work for me

[@JJ-vh8iu]

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

[@dthedad7330]

I didn't have any issues. I'm on mobile.

[@deborahanne8420]

I'm on mobile. The video quality is really good.

[@jadecummings8093]

You got it right there dude! 😉

[@isaiah0160]

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.

U have a Sad life brainwashed by vegans

For your age, you certainly don't look your age at all, as a compliment, you look too young to be true! ❤️😎💪

[@lilianaleca6813]

Awww... the squirrel is so cute❤️

[@Simnettnutrition]

I know! So it's a boy for sure, I found out yesterday. :| He has a really long tail so we call him lil' LT. Little long tail. Lol.

[@lilianaleca6813]

@@Simnettnutrition love it! LT ❤️😁

[@melrox8809]

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.

[@dibamoca9885]

Slippery avos, cute squirrels and beautiful nature! What more could I want?!😊

[@gsimmo99]

Love hanging out with you on the other side of the screen Derek! ❤️

[@Simnettnutrition]

Hopefully it feels that way!

[@brittanymcmullen4309]

I think I speak for all of us when I say that it would take A LOT more than a faint hissing noise to EVER give you negative feedback. So don’t worry! This was great 💪😊👌🌲

The banana hat... genius. -- laughing at your peanut butter combos!

[@HenchHerbivore]

Love me a Simnett vlog! Still living that good vegan fitness life! I discovered hill sprints on my cycle during lockdown. Love em so much I’ve kept em in. Hope to catch up with you at Vegan Campout next month if you can make it!

Eat meat Hench!

Derek the animal whisperer😂🐿 it brings me so much joy watching you guys. Especially when you are happy. That makes me so happy too💛

[@jacksonblack2776]

The clap 👏🏼 chopped veg was pretty slick. 👍🏼

[@morticiamorella4101]

The squirrels must love you guys for the water and snacks. Pears and any nutbutter is indeed delicious! Especially with a bit of cinnamon.

[@MrJavacash]

vegans only eat sugar it's terrible!

@@MrJavacash get a life

[@idavilang]

This part of the video was so sweet!

[@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

[@MrJavacash]

vegan diets = sugar sugar sugar.

[@AndNowIJustSitInSilence]

@@MrJavacash I think you need to get your brain checked. Something made you write the same word three times in a row. That does not seem healthy.

[@CK-yl9ep]

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

[@HappiestVeganonEarth]

Oh my goodness that squirrel is too precious 😍😍😍

[@MCppp]

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

[@Simnettnutrition]

Nice! Thanks for hanging out.

[@jeanneamato8278]

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.

[@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

[@vicki-lynnemccabe]

That's so sweet. I love squirrels or the chipmunks too!!

[@randomgardener3799]

Scallopini is what the yellow squash is sometimes called

[@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.

[@ShelbyGiggles]

Thanks for the info! I am able to view now on my phone. Wasn’t able to on my super old iPad😊

[@earthling_parth]

Thanks for making these Derek. Always fun and a good learning opportunity for us ❤️

[@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.

[@SarahMontana666]

Hi Derrick and Crystal, love your content. Always so positive, eating so clean, you two seem very respectful to each other, your nature is astounding !! So grounded and humble, no pretense - so enjoy it! And best is when you’re going out on adventures and you say: "…And you’re coming with me!" It’s like "Yay, we’re going with!" 🤣🤣, Just love you guys. Keep it coming. You’re changing lives, lifting people, saving lives, restoring health, entertaining and making smiles, sharing care!

There were many follies in this video. Haha.

[@patwhite8741]

Peanut butter and apple - yummmm! Awesome video!

[@idavilang]

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!

[@IsidoraSage]

I just love your energy! It's so great that you feed the squirrels. I moved to be closer to the mountains. Thank you for sharing nature with the vlog.

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.

[@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)

[@laurieswain3832]

Great job on your garden

[@Dudlesful]

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

[@oneorangesuitcase]

I love your videos! You make healthy living look fun, rather than a drag like some may associate it with. Vitamin N - that's so great. Thank you and Crystal for all of your hard work in putting these videos together!!!

[@marsmarv]

Vitamin N was a blast. Big love to you guys

You guys look amazing in this video! This upcoming week will be my second week at the gym, and I’m not sore anymore so hopefully this week will go better. You are so right about running, I tried to run In the outside track and only could do little snippets of it here and there and even though I was going to twist my foot, you get wobbly if you don’t do it for so long!
