Full Day Of Eating Healthy & High Protein Vegan Meals

[@sendsriracha7849]

I used to mix hummus into my tomato sauce all the time to make a sort of “vodka sauce”. So creamy & yummy mixed with peas & pasta! ❤️😋

[@kathy.7475]

Great Idea. Thanks for sharing.

[@franciscachesca]

I can't imagine someone not liking this guy. He has such a nice personality. Always fun to watch his content. 😊

[@Pops_Gambit]

I don’t like him. I love him 😂

[@kristincarter6850]

I have to agree! Biggest part of why I watch! He gives off such good energy!! Keep doing what you do☺️

[@loribakergirl6438]

Agreed!! 🎉

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you!! Everyone is so kind to meeee! How can’t I be kind and have good vibes. 😊

[@maryhamilton6843]

First time I have tune into what I eat in a day (and I have many you tube subscriptions) I decided to watch yours I was not disappointed you gave me some yummy ideas…and your personality is a bonus 😊…I have a request I’m not asking for recipes but a list of ingredients would be much appreciated 😊PS love the tahini in the tomato sauce and I’m Italian 😊

[@Lindabseattle]

Hard to pick. I love both 🎃! Awesome camera work Derek. You really captured the feel of fall! And as usual some great food...yummo!

[@peacefulplaces3634]

Love how you make good food accessible while executing humility.

[@peaceinwandering]

Literally watch each video of yours! I can’t get enough. They bring me so much joy :) I loved both of yalls pumpkins!! Crystals was so cute and unique and yours was impressive and quintessential Halloween!!

[@ilikeoptter]

I love both of your pumpkin creations almost as much as I love both of you. Thanks for the great meal options. You never fail to inspire me.

[@mammabear2183]

It’s always a joy to spend time with you, Derek and Chrystal. I loved seeing the pumpkin carvings!!! So fun! 🎃

[@melrox8809]

Wow both pumpkin look amazing. 🎃🎃 My daughter craved a ghost 👻🎃 pumpkin & it came out so good.

[@claire4688]

love the kitty basket - your fur babies always add so much! no contest with the pumpkins - you both tied for first place :)

[@dawninthemountains]

Good, hearty, wonderful Autumn meals that I can actually make!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Awesome! I’ll have to do a video with some soup or squash in it soon!

[@IgorPoloz]

Just thought about new video and it's here!) Watching. P.S. Please, buy and use a Rode microphone 🙏

[@Nates33]

The whole video was great quality Derek 👌🏼Loved seeing the pumpkin carving with Crystal, the energy of you two always brings me joy and puts a smile on my face 😊

[@Deb_BG]

Yay! Saving for later when I can relax and enjoy! Thank you.

[@jmdes8]

Another AWESOME video Derek, Thank you ! From Colorado, USA. Love food, love cooking and eating a whole food plant diet!

[@Zenithx3]

Handsome vegan man. Yes Please!

[@Loveplants4me]

Hi Derek! Fajitas are the sizzling strips of the bell peppers and onions (usually with beef or chicken. )I love to do mushrooms. Burrito is the actual wrap that the fajitas go into ! ❤

[@perrywhitledge4005]

They both go into a tortilla not a burrito. The burritos are usually bean based.

[@davidabache9432]

The outdoors footage was so beautiful, what a lovely country you live in. Your pumpkin carving was pretty cool. Great recipes love the breakfast will definitely try that one.

[@mattdonalds9996]

Please look into Dr Gregor's new book how not to age as well as seminars on the books information, As protein is one of the leading causes of aging and is not necessary for building muscle. He now recommends protein-restrictive dieting. 🤯

[@micktbaby]

Great meal ideas. I got Derek’s cookbook and have made several recipes. Highly recommend. Easy, practical and delicious. The sauces and dressings are so amazing. My new go to cookbook!! Thank you!

[@pamwalmsley1865]

Hi guys! So, I was quite impressed with Crystals pumpkin but Dereks scary one is my favourite. Happy 🎃 Halloween

[@janetatuniquerawfoods2361]

This is Derek in fairyland… in the best way… with all the mushrooms.

[@davef.416]

Another enjoyable video. The mushroom varieties you have there is pretty amazing also , and I always enjoy the food you create. Derek , I think your pumpkin took the prize , but both of them were very well done!

[@marzettik]

Rofl! It snaps! He’s so excited, lol. Great recipes. The last pumpkin I craved, I turned into pumpkin pie(craved the pi sign into it).

[@jamess5094]

I gotta ask what jacket is that you were jogging in?

[@flyingfeathers_]

if ur vegan...what do you feed ur cat?

[@YoGinny]

You both won because you both did an awesome job and you had so much fun ❤❤❤. Love your videos 🎉

[@helpfulcommenter]

Hey from Texas, Derek, lemme help you with the Fajitas question. Fajitas = Tex Mex stir fry. It isn’t “a fajita” my dude. It’s not like a burrito or a taco. Fajitas refers to the chopped up ingrendients when they’re sizzled at high heat on a griddle, skillet, or comal. Usually fajitas base is onion, peppers/chiles, maybe garlic, and then traditionally chicken or beef. For vegans soy curls, why not. But yeah fajitas is super hot and fast cooked veggies and protein. Then you can do whatever - eat with tortillas, wrap like a burrito, put on rice, it’s just a preparation method.

[@helpfulcommenter]

PS typically the fajita meat is grilled first over fire, then chopped up and thrown into the comal with the sizzling veggies and tossed and served still sizzling

[@cailinshuffles]

Your content is always incredible! Love the cinematography! 😄

[@irmahernandez6922]

Hi Derek! Both pumpkins look awesome. You both did such a a great job! Fajitas are named after the type of beef traditionally used. Very thin sliced and seasoned beef. A plant based version can be made with anything, soy curls, mushrooms, tofu, etc. Burrito comes from Northern Mexican and is just refried beans, meat, or what ever in a flour tortilla wrap. You can make a burrito out of fajitas. I hope that makes sense. 😊

[@geno5169]

I enjoy all of your videos! I needed to see what you eat in a day! I’m new here started my journey on plant based! Basically I’ve been eating either oatmeal with walnuts! Flaxseed! Organic plant protein powder! With a fruit smoothie! Ily orzo salads with chit ! I t not sure what else Ty order!! 🙏 thank you Derek for sho us how you do it! I needed this!

[@catecurl3790]

That fajita/veg mix looks delicious. I'm imagining that blended into a soup served with kidney or black beans 🍜🍲

[@laurenrda07]

Both pumpkins are awesome! Seriously ❤ all the food looks so good I can't wait to try them, and that makes total sense with the tahini in the sauce those noodles are so festive too. It's fun being creative in the kitchen. 😁🙌

[@lenalootens5625]

Another great video!! You have style, joy, energy and love! Thank you for everything! Greetings from Belgium 💝🐴🌹

[@sendsriracha7849]

BOTH of your pumpkins are SO great! 🤩💗

[@cherhonda]

Yes👏🏾My Canada Boy Posted🥳

[@Joy80JJ]

I love both of your pumpkin creations..can't pick just 1 of them. You guys rock. Love your content.

[@gruszkayogi]

Thank you, these videos NEVER get old. Always so fun watching you cook and run/lift/go for walks with Crystal. My partner says Derek's scary face pumpkin is the winner. I think I agree, lots of detail in that scary face, good technical skill :) Thank you! Crystal's cat is great though too

[@dibamoca9885]

I love the radiatore pasta shape!! The sauce clings the the pasta so well.

[@MissBizyBea]

Here's what I do when I want anything with a tomato sauce base on it. This is also quick. Just add a jar of sauce to pot then blend in a Nutri-bullet/Vitamix some water, garlic, nutritional yeast, spices/herbs if you want them plus nuts of choice. I use 1/4 c. cashews most of the time and then add that to the pot of tomato sauce and you're in business! Cuts way down on the acidity of the jarred sauces plus adds a creaminess that's delicious. Ratios are up to you plus you can also add other meat replacements like soy curls/etc.

[@KathyTrithardt]

I love the "look both ways" on the track when I don't think anything runs on the Vancouver Island tracks anymore :P

[@Gangelizedtreasures]

Yes, fajitas have a different seasoning mix & are traditionally made with onions & peppers. Great video. Both pumpkins were great!

[@marimesquita1961]

Your videos are awesome! I love the way you put healthy meals together, and you are so energetic. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@melrox8809]

My favorite kind of vlog. My Vitamix is still going strong.

[@Lepgek]

I dig your videos! I'm not vegan but they're very inspiring! I also love when you add the vlog style to them like with this one 👍

[@caitlinh8613]

Loved this video! The food, the fitness, the fall foliage, the pumpkins… 🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼 I checked your Amazon lists but I don’t think I saw a regular camera. What were you using during your run? I can’t pick a fave pumpkin! Both turned out bangarang 🎃 Happy Halloween!! 👻

[@justperfect59]

I also love (all flavors) of the Field Roast Sausages! But OMG!!!!! $10 a pkg……that is a lot 😳 I live in Florida, I thought they were expensive here at $5.99-$6.99, I always try to get them when they go on a BOGO sale, and stock up 🌿

[@caroldinius4402]

I was told by Vitamix themselves, if you completely dry your pitcher, it won't become foggy/cloudy.

[@Nadege949]

You are both winners in the carving competition! You are also both lovely and talented, funny and entertaining!

[@KaylaReisser]

Crystal's pumpkin was cute. But I liked Derek's pumpkin more.

[@lizziedripping71]

Here in the UK we have been having huge volumes of rain & flooding so your food is such a comfort ❤️ It always takes me a while to adapt to cooler, wet weather & the change in the light.

[@AnnikaWithAk]

Same up here in Edinburgh, last weekend was quite miserable with tons and tons of rain.

[@laureenjohnson5570]

All of your food looked delicious!! We are 30cm under snow here, so delightful to see the autumnal colours of BC. Sorry, Chrystal,,,,,Derek wins this time!

[@elsmooth12]

Great video, Derek! Quick question...any idea why it seams like no one in the Whole Food Plant Based or Vegan cooking communities are using whole, mature, dried soybeans as a food source in recipes? I just bought a 25 lb bag of organic yellow soybeans (probably around $65 USD shipped), and I've been thrilled with how they cook up! Soak overnight, then 20 minutes in the Instant Pot on high with a natural pressure release and they are cooked perfectly. Versus tofu (which I also love, but use much less now), it is less processed, cheaper per serving, and has much less packaging. Any thoughts as to why this food doesn't seem to get any love?

[@erberry1]

Love your pumpkin best. Sorry, Crystal. Yours is a total second and a half place. Also, I just bought those bratts for less than $6 at Woodman's in Buffalo Grove Illinois. Sorry you guys.

[@PaulMuaddb]

I work in the warehouse of a health food retailer, the oldest one. They sell dairy proteins for people who want to gain muscle mass. There are also vegan products available. Recently a big company called USN had a promotion offering free samples, big queue. I checked for vegan options, there wasn't anything. A bit dissapointing but nothing new. I said thats bad. How safe is this whey protein, in big bags&bottles? I mean, hormones, growth factor, sugar metabolism....They are quick to point the finger to a few vegan burgers, that they are processed. What about these dairy protein powders?

[@pianomusic15]

Honestly really love both those pumpkin designs!! Unfortunately Field Roast are about that much over here in USD.

[@miltonhumphus4020]

Hi Derek I so enjoy your videos I'm 81 will be 82 in January 24 , I was was just wondering as being plant based what creatine do you use , I am WFPB also and your videos help me so much I have all of your e-books and injoy them , thanks much from the US.

[@tlopez5821]

Derek, you live in such a beautiful place, thank you for sharing! It's a blessing to live where you can appreciate the seasons! You and Crystal are adorable & my favorite KZbin couple!! But I have to say, given all of your great recipes & delish content, it hurts my heart to see you use store bought salsa/pico de gallo. :( You can make some AmaZing salsa concoctions of your own, I believe in YOU!! It is my 1 request to see you bang out a killer salsa recipe all your own, PLEASE consider this, you will rock it - no doubt! Also, no beans in fajitas v burritos & fajitas are usually served on a sizzling hot plate, as some differences in those dishes. Keep the fabulous content coming! Blessed Be!!!

[@Millah323]

Dang 😵your arms are HUGE!!! Jackets don't do you justice...

[@SusanKessler-c8n]

Both carvings were great!!! I'm leaning towards Crystal's just a bit ❤

[@VISAYASJEWELRY]

Great pumpkin carvings, guys! I have to call a tie though. Both so good! Great pumpkins, great recipes. Thank you!

[@rebukealllowvibrations]

DOPE VID!! please be cautious on your jogs 🙏🏼 cant lose you to the wolf 😂 and I think both pumpkins were sick!

[@ScarecrOmega]

Good recipes. I would pick Derek's classic pumpkin that looks like it's from Sleepy Hollow. Also question, do you make pancakes at all or made a video about? I don't remember seeing you make any.

[@sparenomind6856]

I always enjoy your videos. Meals are tasty & simple. "Farmers We Know" is the best oatmeal I've ever tasted. Also, it's tested for Glyphosate. I get it at Costco. Just sayin!

[@Prince_Ziggy06]

I love your last end of my most favorite cheat day for pasta look so cool and big pasta (I know it’s not too big but look big pasta, wow). Good job with your own created to make your food plate or bowl as well. I also love to watching both of you and her enjoy to making artist real pumpkin like yours and her too. 🙂😉🙏🏾👍🏾. Anyway, keep going to make your own vegan food on the plate or bowl. 🙂.

[@stinnehviid7444]

Your a great inspiration in my diet.. keep up the good work. And congratulations on your upcomming birthday. And trust me there is a life after 40 you Will be alright. (Me 45 so I know)

[@cherimemacfarlane3290]

All of the prepackages stuff is getting too expensive, and has too much sodium. Started making my breakfast sausage patties from lentils. Making lentil and chickpea tofu. It can be used in a variety of ways. Both pumpkins are winners.

[@lisabarnetson1362]

Wow! Those pumpkin are fabulous!! I saw a new way of looking at pumpkin carving that I thought was ingenious. The guy cut the bottom out instead of the top. You sit the candle on the "lid" and just put the pumpkin over top. Seemed easier.

[@Janet.D.C.]

Those pumpkins are so cool! They actually go together really well. 🎃🎃 I’ve put tahini in pasta sauce before. You know it is also remarkably good in a barbecue sauce! 😋

[@nicolecobe1486]

I’m looking at purchasing both cookbooks. Are these recipes from this video in the newer e cookbook? Thanks for all you do. I’m going to make these meals today. I will agree with 3 days prep is better then 5! I made a vegan Mac and cheese that was amazing and my family even loved it but after 3 days I was like I can’t eat this anymore 😂. I’m looking forward to these cookbooks! I’m all about easy and saving time

[@AdamTLyon]

Both pumpkins are so good! Personally I liked Crystal's design more. Very spooky. 🎃

[@susanchandler2317]

Field roast sausage costs $5.49 in Chicago where I live. But can't find Buttler soy curls 😕

[@jordanwisniewski3238]

I think it’s a tie for the pumpkin carving. I love them both!!! Defos guna copy yours though, Derek.

[@scienceislove2014]

Use those pumpkin seeds for making pumpkin seed milk.. They're the best.. you must try em out..

[@linzertube]

How you managed to find a piece of music that sounded a bit spooky for Halloween and a bit Italian, for your pasta dish, is beyond me…but, well done! The meals all looked delish…I especially have a weakness for fajitas, so that will be what I make first. Thanks, Derek! Great pumpkin-carving, as well, you two! 🎃🎃🐈🌕 I honestly can’t choose which I like more.🤷‍♀️

[@carmenbailey1560]

Definitely always enjoy your videos. First oatmeal is my breakfast meal with walnuts & apple, water so your is supremes to mine. I’m going to look for the fajita seasoning and your pasta dish using tomato base sauce with tahini going to try as well. Pumpkins were both Awesome. Thanks for the inspiration outside and kitchen side. 👍❤️😊

[@SAP64]

I love both the pumpkins, but since I have to pick I think Derek's is really good. It's going to scare the kids on Halloween.

[@ainnothin9854]

You deserved a new Vitamix container after all these years I love Field Roast sausage too. They are similar price, if not a little more expensive in Arizona (in USD)

[@deannaconway3762]

Hi Derek! Love your videos. I wonder if you could make a video in the future of some fresh staple foods/veggies you keep in the house and how you use them up before they go bad. For example in this video you used red onion and I’ve gotten them before but I find I don’t use them for anything else and then the other 3/4 goes bad. But you always manage to have fresh food & veggies on hand, so just curious how to use it up so they don’t go bad! ❤

[@janetatuniquerawfoods2361]

Yeah. I got a new container about 6 months ago. It’s just starting to get that stained and cloudy look. I can’t manage it keep it clear. I wish was awesomely and affordable made in glass. I have an oats and apple based breakfast that I love. It’s in a short video I just posted. There are some images of Mexico with it. Check it out. I recently gave in to include pea protein in my diet and take my protein higher…and I see my muscle growth and retention better now after a couple of months. Granted I increased intensity a bit since watching @athleanx techniques. We just have to watch out for the health of the kidneys. Protein can start to stress them. Thank you and stay warm. Sincerely Janet

[@carolynlapota5495]

Both pumpkins awesome! Both of you are talented. Always enjoy your videos.

[@geno5169]

You two are amazing carving those pumpkins! They both look spooky

[@JL-tf9ru]

I have been watching your videos for 4 or 5 years. Love the content. I tried your oat recipe with blueberries instead of banana, and it was wonderful. Thank you!

[@meganginger3791]

Tough call, but I'm picking Crystal's pumpkin 🎃

[@lmaris7755]

I love your videos, great content and meal ideas!🙂🙃 But why did you till that big, eatable mushroom (looked like a bay bolete) and threw it away. I thought at first you'll take it home. That hurt my heart 😅

[@lmaris7755]

I love your videos, great content and meal ideas!🙂🙃 But why did you till that big, eatable mushroom (looked like a bay bolete) and threw it away. I thought at first you'll take it home. That hurt my heart 😅

[@Rayaelle]

Tahini with tomato sauce and plant based milk (and lots of pepper, nooch and garlic) actually makes a rosée sauce!

[@smithapakala]

Hey, did you change your protein powder from vivo life? Thx You rock as always.

[@laurastephenson2516]

A fajita is folded, not rolled. It does not have cheese, it has grilled veggies, and sliced meat, (or whatever protein you use,)🎉instead of ground. Burritos have beans, and cheese, and are rolled instead of folded

[@keyfromthecity]

The FieldRoast prices have gone through the roof. It cost about $9 USD at my local grocery store.

[@coreygavette8779]

Hard to choose but I am leaning toward Crystal's. Sorry Derek

[@maryellenbunce7751]

Always entertaining and inspi. Both pumpkins are awesome but my vote rests with Derek!

[@emmagartlan6802]

That just happened to me too.. the ball bearings would get stuck so I just bought a new container :) I liked both pumpkins but yours was the best Derek.

[@almaortega9261]

Fajitas is a dish you can eat as tacos (small tortillas) or as burritos (big tortillas flour or wheat or wraps (flavored tortilla such as spinach or tomato etc)) OR in a bowl and no tortilla. So fajitas has nothing to do eith tortillas especially of you're being low carb! Anything wrapped in big flour tortilla = burrito.

[@rowenaanderson3739]

LOL I'm so bad a drawing and writing too. Never got my 'pen license'. Maybe I'm meant to be left-handed as well haha

[@Deb_BG]

I vote for Crystal's pumpkin 😊 Please let us know when the wolf-dog is saved, poor beast.

[@sarabarryavon]

You're jack-o-lanterns both turned out GREAT!

[@maureenheiden7348]

I loved the pumpkins! They are both really good.....but I did like the Cat one a tiny bit more!

[@fatimanoschese2842]

is it Freya i loved Derek one Pumpkin is for me and I love it and My Mum Fatima she loves Crystal cat one goodbye i will see you soon Freya and Fatima Xxx

[@annestaffey8639]

I have a college degree in wildlife management and work in outdoor education with elementary kids. In college they always told us some wild mushrooms are poisons to eat, some are poisons to touch, and others are completely safe. There are a crazy variety of mushrooms and so if your not a expert I was told in college don't touch it unless your 100% sure of what it is.
