THE BEST VEGAN MEALS! 🔥 FULL DAY OF EATING

[@tinagirton7761]

Talks about meeting your Mom...next frame...."Oh my gosh, she's up in a tree!" I was like, "Whaaaat, your Mom is up in a tree!" LOLOLOL!!! Your Mom is adorable!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Hahah, so funny! You never know with mom.

Same!

[@plantforheal]

Man, every time I watch a video of yours, no matter how tired I am, no matter what problem I'm facing, I always feel good. Great food, positive energy and warm people make the best combination. A big hug to your mom. Derek you are the boss, buddy!

[@hanbug1]

How cute is your mum?! You guys always encouraging the outdoors and good food ideas. Watching your videos is like hanging out with good friends. 😍👍👏

[@sabchatelain5249]

Absolutely. You are so cool👍💖😎

[@kearasmith1875]

This made me want to have a picnic by the beach so much, your videos really make me realize that I need to get out and enjoy life more!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks! It's worth the effort!

[@mikeskylark1594]

Derek, you're such a good monogamic boyfriend and a great supportive son!

[@linzertube]

It was so nice to meet your Mom, Derek. What a lovely beach and paddle, for all of you. Good going, Crystal! An awesome day of eating. My mouth was watering for your beautiful purple smoothie. Your burrito-filling and rolling skills are always impressive. The salad was so colourful.

[@ursulamelia7136]

I grew up in Germany and remember Kohlrabi from my grandpa’s garden. I loved them. I am 60 now and live in the UK, but glad Kohlrabi are still around. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!😊😊😊🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@hannafox990]

How nice to introduce your mom :) the burrito looked so good! Especially in that location :)

[@Mama24loves]

Peaches are the best!!

[@livingsingleinretirement7925]

Derek, your mom is beautiful. Thanks for sharing this special day you spent together. I need to work on making sauces and dressings. This green one will be on my list to try.

[@nozee77]

The Kohlrabi leaves are actually edible and delicious as well! I treat them like any leafy green. 😉 Where I live, Kohlrabi is a very common veg. Goes great cooked, spiced with some nutmeg in vegan white sauce, the leaves thrown in as well. But snacking on it is very good too.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Oh cool, thanks for sharing. I figured it was but these also didn't look super fresh so I didn't bother looking it up.

[@nozee77]

@@Simnettnutrition I read one could even make pesto out of the leaves, same way as from carrot greens. Never tried it yet, though.

[@li82li]

Germany?=)

[@flow4458]

@@li82li As a German I thought the same haha. My fav way to enjoy it is actually dipped in mashed potatoes. Might sound weird, but it's SOO good.

[@andreawalker7138]

Hello, Derek's mother! Nice to meet you. As usual, all of the food looked so delicious. Thanks for the recipe ideas!

[@user-ey9bt7fs6n]

Thanks for the inspiration! I mixed homemade refried black beans with quinoa and loosened it a bit with salsa for one of my burrito fillers

[@ariannefowler455]

Your mom is adorable! That salad (the one you took to the beach) looked amazing. I've never added dates, but I'm going to now. Also, I've never tried kohlrabi so I must try it now. I have had luck with everything I've made from your videos. Thank you for being so inspiring.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks Arianna! I think you will like kohlrabi, it's really nice in texture and flavour.

[@deficits1080p]

Let’s goooo right on time. High energy foods! Good vibes 🙌 Let’s turn up Vegans 💕 🌍

Exactly! It makes me so happy you are excited to watch it!

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

Eyyyyyy bro! Good to see you here man! Much love.

[@deficits1080p]

@@JivecattheMagnificent ayyye lol what’s up man! What a small world 👀

[@evag5041]

Great hack searing the ends. I’ve only seared the long sides. Adding medjool dates to spicy or bitter salad is genius. I’ve never done that. Fabulous food once again. Your mom is lovely and looks like she enjoyed everything!

[@chrisfair6705]

Okay, first I have to preface this by saying I love your videos. But they also depress me because you make it look SO easy! I have tried a few times in the past year to go fully vegan and I am always so concerned with food and meal prep that life becomes not enjoyable. I enjoy eating healthy and love vegan food, but I find it just so hard to meal plan. Your meals are inspiring because of how simple they are. I’ve followed other vegan meal plans and stuff before but they always have such exotic ingredients and time-consuming recipes. I need to learn how to relax and just eat the basics like you do every day. Thank you for making these videos. Sooner or later things will click with me and I’ll look back and laugh at how complicated I made things.

[@RuthT90]

I hope my son is as sweet to me as you are to your mum when he's older. He's 3 now and tells me he loves me everyday so its a good start! Great video.

[@Deb_BG]

Loved seeing your mom, the beautiful scenery and the food!

[@LeeAnnahsCreations]

So sweet to see your Mom!

[@haydo8373]

What a wholesome corner of the internet!

[@franciscomissycruz6065]

Love seeing these meals. Thanks for teaching, being an example, and bringing us along to all the beautiful spots around your home!

[@Simnettnutrition]

You're very welcome and thanks for watching! We do live in such a beautiful place, it would be a shame not to highlight it.

[@WellWithHels]

thanks for the burrito end tip!! Such a great idea! And so lovely to meet Mum! Thanks for another great video! x

[@richmcbride9269]

Your full day of eating videos are fantastic: inspirational, entertaining and relaxing! Off topic question: have you ever made your own hot sauce? I love Valentina hot sauce, but there is way too much sodium if you use a lot of sauce at one time, as I do 🙂

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you! I have never made my own hot sauce. I now it is so salty but I'm not too worried since I make all my own food at home so the sodium is usually quite low already. I would imagine the salt is what provides much of the flavour, but it would be cool to try without.

[@muccia7328]

Aww you are just the sweetest with your mum and Crystal..and jacked and ripped in your tank top! Yeah!

[@adrianapilonieta-ji1tt]

Your mom is great. I love how she participates and enjoy this along with you.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks! She’s actually my number one fan. 😆 Anytime I meet anyone she knows they are like oh yeah your mom told me ALLL about you. 😝

[@Ratsfrom42]

I love how supportive you are with C

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Momma Simnett! Love seeing her! Bring her back again soon! Curious minds want to know, did you diddle your tomato blossoms this year??

[@Simnettnutrition]

Yes I did the diddle! haha

[@mikeskylark1594]

Very wholesome meals, as always. Nice energy you have!

[@sarahnormand6138]

Watching your videos make me want to eat healthier. I was litteraly debating on what to have for dinner and decided to make a nourrish bowl after seeing you make this one ! Thanks for the inspiration !!! 🙌🏼🥬

[@annak3380]

Love that you spend time with your Mom like that. Mom gets the flower-so sweet.😊 What a beautiful place you live in. The beach looks so amazing! Great food too- thanks so much.

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks so much!

[@gwendowell2513]

I always add dates to my salad. I love that contrast of a sweet and savory.

[@amynevvan8717]

Crystal is kick-ass in the gym!

[@L_Oiseau]

Reminds me. I need to make more of your sauces!

[@Lorreyla]

Great looking food and adorable Mom! My favorite way to eat apples is to take peanuts or peanut butter and blend in a high speed blender with medjool dates to make a peanut butter caramel...so good. If sauces or dressing come out to thin throw in some chia seeds and blend. Let sit for a few minutes and it will thicken right up.

[@momochago2136]

You can put flax seeds to thicken your dressing also you add omega 3 and no change in flavpur! .

[@ellentevault6244]

Your mom is a sweetheart

[@RanDom-bk8tt]

What a wholesome, chill and warm video. I really enjoy always learning something from your videos or you reminding us about something you've already taught us. Thanks for sharing and all of you stay well.

[@jmdes8]

Derek, Great video ! On many videos I skip around to get the gist, but you do such a nice job all through your video that I don't skip, because I don't want to miss a good point you have to share, or don't want to miss a witty or humorous moment. Love the authenticity. Love your work !!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Mission accomplished! 😉 🙏 Thank you.

[@tinkonthebrink]

Chop dates on top of some almond meal sprinkled on the cutting board and keep dusting them as you’re cutting - they won’t stick together and also they’re delicious.

[@coolbeans-plantbased707]

Omg that Buddha Bowl!! 🔥 💣 😍😍

[@kathy2910]

Just love all the good energy - and good food of course! Crystal is a natural on the paddle board :)

[@madeleinecaemmerer]

Perfect Inspiration 😍 your mum is so cute 🥰 thanks 🥳🥳

[@ChrixMadHeck]

Inspired me already, bro. Right about getting some peaches now. 😆💪🏻

[@janetatuniquerawfoods2361]

You are looking less inflamed and more relaxed. It would be interesting to see how you feel if you continued with the lemon water and fruit in the morning. As well as lowering the protein powder consumption. Keeping with the awesome Whole foods like this day. I love kohlrabi… it would be great to see it regularly in more stores. I used some aging cashew butter to make nearly the same dressing today before I watched this. I haven’t had fats for over 6 months. I even had to add a bit of avo like you for the same reason. Thank you. Great beach time! What a happy kitty in the tree!

[@SusieLybarger]

My husband and I love watching your videos! Y’all are such a cute couple and so inspiring! My son is thinking about going whole food plant based and I told him to check out some of your videos because he thought eating this way made you look like a skeleton 😂😂 Anyhow, Hubby and I are whole food plant based since December of 2021. I’m 59 and he is 62. I’ve lost almost 60 pounds and he has lost 35 pounds. We don’t do any oils at all, how do you feel about including a small amount of oil such as olive oil or canola oil only once in a while? Is there an oil of preference that you would pick over another?

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for watching Susie! I appreciate it. Having oil on occasion is totally fine. It can be nice to add to certain dishes for sure. I would suggest olive oil (on medium heat) personally or avocado oil (if you are cooking on high heat).

[@juliemanley5233]

Your mama is so adorable 🤗

[@sharonlong8177]

Awesome video thank you 😊 So great to meet mummy simnett !! Love you guys ❤️

The ocean there is so perfect! Calm like a a lake, but salty :) You really make me want to visit that area to experience the natural beauty!

[@marykaren7542]

Canadian peaches ARE THE BEST!!! I live in Florida and the so called 'Georgia' peaches we get in our grocery stores are woody and dry. I look forward to going to Nova Scotia every summer and devouring delicious Ontario peaches!!

That salad dressing is still my favorite. Thanks for showing it long ago. Edamame in the smoothie is a great idea!

[@ellem6050]

Even though I rarely eat vegetables, I love watching your videos because your dishes always look delicious.

[@applesandoranges8079]

Was so fun to meet your Mom! Thank you for the video.

[@yellowdayz1800]

Been whole food dieter for five years... Slowly but surely with much improvement. Now fruits are my all time favorite foods. It pays off friends. Love our veggie meals too.. The veggie burgers 😅😅👍 etc and green salads with whole food dressings..

[@TraceyBoyland]

Those wraps and the bowl of life looks fabulous.

[@christopherbrand5360]

I almost always do edamame in my lunch smoothie. And seeds and nuts. Always good to do whole foods in favor of processed!

[@singingtuna4786]

i want to give everybody a DELICIOUS tip! almond butter. with fruit (like the snack at the end of this video), with a smoothie bowl, on top of porridge, on top of yoghurt with some maple syrup and maybe cocoa nibs or cocoa powder, a sour berry or apple. almond butter is just very yummy amd feels like alittle more licirious snack (to me!) when ineat it. pairs very well with pears also.

[@charimilligan5326]

Such a brilliant idea with the edamame!!! I grow them in my garden (zone 4b, in Shawinigan QC; by the way youmightbe able to grow them too no problem!!), I froze them, but always struggled to get through my harvest! Including it in smoothies is an amazing idea! Thanks!!

[@Ruby-rb3ss]

First time for me too on a SUP board this summer and I'm not comfortable on the water either and as old as mom.Hi Mom!You did awesome Krystal!Here's to courage and trying new things, and to moms and inspiration from your channel.As always,great content.Thanks guys❤

[@chrisgodwin8473]

I'm thinking Mom should be part of the vids more Often!

[@newhouseb7]

I've never found smoked tofu in the US! I'm so jealous of the Canadian vegan bloggers!

[@jjheartscows]

I peel & chop the kohlrabi into steaks and either pan fry them or put them in an air fryer or bake them in the oven to make kohlrabi burgers. It's one of my new fav veggies. Also make kohlrabi fries in the air fryer & make a fry sauce to dip it in.

[@nataliem3504]

I so love your lifestyle and your food is amazing. Today you really spoke to me because I’ve always loved kohlrabi (for over 50 years), I say Herbs with the H and basil the English way. And I wish my mum were still alive so I could do fun water stuff again with her. I’m going to try and follow your food and workout plan (albeitin a gentle beginners sort if way), see what happens. Maybe at least I’ll stop putting off moving till later… Thank you for your videos. May you always be happy.

[@krystalsercombe5149]

Your content and channel is so fun and entertaining to watch,thanks for sharing..your recipes always look so delicious, thanks for all your hard work.

I love your what I eat in a day videos. And I know you’ve done the cronometer breakdowns in the past but could you do another one?! I’m having a hard time getting enough protein to recover from my workouts/build some muscle so it would be hugely helpful. Thanks so much! And yes - your mom is SO cute!
