Just picked up some of that apple-pear pre-workout! Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the recommendation and code!😋

[@kitchenlife1516]

Do the vitamins have a weird taste? I tried Ritual and did not like the taste at all, I had a hard time getting them down. I also tried Compliment, which were a little better, but still didn’t love.

[@ricodash5330]

Have you done a video on growing sprouts or different variety sprouts. Best methods or comparing methods maybe for video ideas. I’d like to see this from you! Great vid! Thank you

Teenager series? For a teenager who can master a waffle iron but has a very limited attentionspan and an aversion to doing dishes. We already do waffles with quick oats, water and salt (with optional grated carrots, chopped walnuts and more spices, depending on lazyness level). 1 portion porridge is 50g, but as waffles 1 portion is easily 100g oats - the dough is made practically thick enough to knead) We use Knorr Potato Flakes (simply dehydrated potatoes, nothing else) to make 'croquettes' in the oven and are working towards making a simpler version of that for the waffle iron. It would - just like the croquettes - contain soft tofu (300g package) mashed with a fork; turmeric, black pepper, salt and rosemary, nooch and of course the potato flakes and maybe tapioca starch and a little water (that is basically the croquettes as of now😂) But it's not ready in a simpler version yet. I WOULD love to have something that includes something, ANYTHING, that is a dark leafy green. DLGs need some serious good PR promo in my house (they are innocent😂 and have been discriminated against simply based on color). Can you help?

Greetings Derek! I'm a 69 year old Black woman in Atlanta, Georgia, with a plethora of lifestyle caused health challenges. Our paths would probably have never crossed, but thanks to KZbin, you have come into my life in a subtle, yet powerful and impressive way. I adore your videos, your wit, your charm, and your love of physical fitness and healthy eating. At this point in my life, after a lifetime of poor eating habits, I must believe that it's NOT too late for me to make meaningful and sustainable lifestyle changes. You truly inspire me with the ease of preparation, colorful variety, and health consciousness of your vegan recipes. Tfs this snapshot of your lovely lifestyle. I have rightly decided to become a subscriber! Peace & abundant blessings to you always 🤗💞

It's never too late to start eating healthy :) best of luck on your journey

[@ashleymcdaniel6188]

I found the whole foot plant based life also including Derek and few other plant based you tubers the same way! Very thankful and luv all the recipes! Have tried many! Here’s to encouraging you in your journey I lost 50 lbs in about 6 months while learning how to do the life style and have improved my complextion, heart health, hormones, BP and blood sugar! You can do this we’re rooting for you! You deserve this!

[@abigailmorse4185]

Your meals have been so helpful to me on my vegan journey. It has been almost a month since I went plant based! I would love to see a video on how you maintain your vegan lifestyle when you go out to dinner.

[@Simnettnutrition]

That's amazing. Great to hear. I do show some clips in this one where we get some takeaway, but I honestly don't eat out much. I usually eat before I go if I don't know how much vegan stuff will be on the menu so I don't have to worry about getting something too filling.

[@adiohead]

Eating out is pretty easy these days. Either pick somewhere you know or have checked the menu of. But most places offer a vegan option, and if they don't you can always ask them if they can make anything. If worst comes to worst then I just wait until I can eat at home or somewhere else, but to be honest that doesn't happen anymore due to all the options.

[@VeganVitalKitchen]

Eating out is so much easier than it once was. Some places it's just asking the right questions when you get the menu. You do find some places cook alot on their vegan food in the same pans and oils they're cooking meats in so always ask. Then it's just finding a few spots near you that you can try all the delicious food! I'll be doing a night out being a vegan later this month, as I struggled 2 years ago when I first transitioned from pescatarian to Plantbased.

[@jennamakesbugs]

So, I happen to live somewhere there aren't any vegan restaurants, but have found a few ways to get around that. You can go for pizza and choose all the veggies with no cheese. There's a place here that does custom nachos, so we get that with beans and veggies with no cheese (they have tofu, but not vegan cheese). Similarly, there's a burrito or bowl option at another place- also tofu, but no vegan cheese. The closest thing we have to vegan options is a Chinese place that has tofu, eggplant, and cauliflower mains. You have to be very careful about the sauces, but doable. And sometimes I will go for a salad and just order it without meat and dairy but take a little Tupperware of tofu. That's not ideal since you are still paying for the meat whether or not you eat it, but I don't expect to get my restaurant choice every time.

[@leapintothewild]

I carry a cooler of food with me at all times 😞 I can jigger up a vegan meal at sit-down restaurants, but there’s no such thing as vegan fast food anywhere near me - just junk! And being on a food elimination diet also means no gluten or soy, so it’s freaking impossible. Anyway, if it helps anyone… I carry gluten-free wraps full of hummus, avocado and raw vegs, along with oil-free potato chips and air-popped corn sprinkled with nutritional yeast. I’m now an expert at car-picnics! 😂

What a delicious week! This is such a great example for everyone - from people just transitioning to veganism to old-timers 😉 The cake Crystal made looked amazing!

[@NotThatJen]

I’ve been eating vegan for about 3 weeks and alternate between 2 different meals. I like the casual way you throw things together and make it a meal. I plan to relax and give that a try. It’ll be so much more fun. 😁💚

[@Simnettnutrition]

I’m sure you’re doing great! It becomes much more natural feeling with time. It’s good to get a handful of go to recipes under your belt then just start modifying them a bit depending on what you have on hand. You got this!!

It’s so refreshing to see someone talk about their diet in a really balanced way. It’s great to see somebody eating carbs! It’s made me realise I don’t need to eat meat to get my protein.😊

I’d starve not eating first and second breakfast, I’m up very early during the week to do a pre work workout, then my physical job and usually a second workout at the end of the day. I’d love to see a day of Crystal’s eating and workouts, I know you eat together, but does she eat a breakfast most days? People’s metabolisms are so varied, thanks for sharing what works best for you.

I now need meals and have no idea what to make. Thank you for sharing what you eat. 🎉❤

I appreciate your Channel because it shows that most vegans are not long-haired hippies or purple haired wokies who are obnoxious and judgmental. We just regular people who want to eat a healthy diet and not hurt animals. I really like the video you did addressing misconceptions about vegans.

[@kefirheals7383]

You are very creative! I love seeing you come up with your meals. I can tell it's a no brainer for you. I got away from WFPB eating and did carnivore with my husband. OMG. My blood work skyrocketed. He wanted to do carnivore and I told him I'd support him and cook for him. Why I went along with it too, I'll never know. It's definitely not my thing. I'm going back to the WFPB diet, and I can't wait. I'm off to the market and start filling my fridge with fresh veg.

Thanks for sharing a whole week this time, it definitely gives a fuller view than just one day (although I love those, too, don't get me wrong)! I really like how you make your porridge, being a porridge gal myself! My own go-to recipe is a bit similar. I mix 20 g of protein powder (usually half vanilla, half natural for less sweet taste), 40 g of oatmeal and a bit of cinnamon (sometimes also 5 g of ground flaxseed) with cold water. I add the water bit by bit so that the protein does not get lumpy. I make my porridge in the microwave, but there's no reason why it wouldn't work on the stovetop. When ready, I add frozen berries. They thaw due to the heat and cool down the porridge in just a few minutes. On top, I put some peanut butter made from powder (like PB2). I prefer a runny consistency in this case, so it spreads nicely. I like my porridge sweet, so I also add some chestnut jam, but I think a few dates mixed with water should do the same trick. You should give it a try!

[@joopdaloop5840]

love the half and half protein powder idea 😊
