Honestly, if my husband had taken me to a grocery store and geeked out on food during our first date, I would have swooned! It would have been a major green flag for me. Like, yes... this man will be my bestie. 😂

[@cartergirl3of3]

I feel the exact same! 😂

[@Simnettnutrition]

haha right? That's what Crystal said!

[@814chappy]

Glad you avoided the Costco pizza and hotdog stand lol

[@mvans29]

LoL first date 😅. Thx for this vid - didn’t know about a couple products - hope mine has them (US southeast). Looks like you have more organic items in both fresh and packaged than we do.

[@50caliber24]

Great episode. Love Costco. You definitely have more organic produce options available than we do in southeast US.

[@Sensei_Brauk_Li]

Crystals laugh is so contagious lol you can really tell she loves you. Best couple ever. I love you Simnett Nooch 💪 💕

[@Simnettnutrition]

Simnett Nooch! I love that haha

[@saraha.3224]

The best parts of your videos are your comedic bits and Crystal’s giggles!! 🤗 Always feel better after watching you both. 🩵

[@CK-ij6rx]

I love her laugh! She's like a ray of sunshine. 😄

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you so much :)

[@nicolesutherland9465]

A L W A Y S in a better mood after their videos 🥹🙏🏼

[@mkmoody2870]

Loving the giggles!

[@djbaugh33]

Fyi: the greasy spot isnt from the Hippies. I worked for Costco 18years, and that is where someone set their sample cup instead of the trash. Saw it a thousand times. Hippes are good; You two are great! 😊

[@GirlOfZion]

😂

[@lunalucid]

Watching from Europe and I love the big packaging sizes, especially of fruits and veggies! They're way smaller where I live. Like, last time I bought that amount of ginger in a normal supermarket the cashier stopped, gave me a stern look and said "That's a lot of ginger! Are you aware that just as with all spices eating too much of it is dangerous?" After a couple of seconds of baffled silence I was like "Are you aware that the guy who was in line in front of me just bought 5 kgs of minced meat, 2 bottles of vodka, 3 six-packs of beer and cigarettes and you didn't raise any concerns?" They then thought for a moment, shrugged and continued to scan my stuff. 😂

[@ingridrajithskysong5369]

OMG great reply to cashier. Quick thinking on your feet.

[@lunalucid]

@@ingridrajithskysong5369 Well, I've had many similar scenarios before when I didn't know what to say, so actually not that quick. 😂

[@gohawks3571]

Lol, what a weird thing to say!😂 Esp with the guy in front of you. Of all the things to judge, they judge a big root of ginger?! Nice response 😉 I was so happy when I learned I could freeze ginger (prepped, not just straight root into the freezer)💞

[@lunalucid]

@@gohawks3571 Oh yes, same here! Learning that frozen ginger is much easier to grate was a game changer! 😄

[@benda777nba]

Wow so rude lol. As a tchr i may have tried educating her on the whole frozen ginger trick 😅

[@richacosta2093]

Some of the most genuinely wholesome content around

[@BeckyMesser]

I read “wholesome Costco” 😅😅

[@JS-nr5qo]

Add a paper towel to the mixed greens and reseal it (flipping it over optional or shaking it) - no more purple lettuce going bad too quickly :]

[@Avery_4272]

Agree. I would add, make sure the paper towel is the kind not dyed with bleach.

[@BeckyMesser]

Have you tried this with the cotton/flannel reusable “paper towels”? I recently switched (well, in the kitchen, anyway) & I’m still learning about the differences

[@ocelotcat]

Also, if you have big plastic bags, putting a paper towel sheet in with the lettuces, then sealing the bag with a lot of air in it, keeps lettuce good for almost 2 weeks. You keep turning the bag in the fridge every couple of days and changing the paper towels to fresh dry ones. I learned this from my local organic farmers. I've had organic lettuce and spinach last over 2 weeks in the fridge this way, no kidding.

[@Elizabeth-lj1vm]

Yes. The purple leaves go bad so quickly!

[@womanofacertainage5892]

LMAO! That "motivational wheel cover!" I am laughing so hard and I really needed cheering up today so thanks for that inspirational moment! LMAO

[@Simnettnutrition]

haha I'm glad you like it!

[@miniwolfang9563]

GAH, I LOVE this video! Love the random, spontaneous laughs, observations and foodie info. More vlogs like this please! ❤😂😅

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks so much!

[@AparnaJain1]

Our Costco in Hawaii sells the ginger 🫚 in a cardboard box. They switched it from the plastic to the box. It was so nice to see, hopefully they can do this all over the country and Canada!

[@AandM8]

Hello from Hawaii!

[@susanfoley3018]

I reuse the bags Costco food comes in as garbage bags. The frozen produce bags that zip close are especially good.

[@mountaingirl415]

I also do this!

[@BeckyMesser]

That’s so smart!!! 😮

[@ChimzDesign]

Most of the fruits and veggies in our local Costo in Miami are organic as well as the peanut butter. I also get my raw cashews in costco. It’s the best deal and i make milk and sauces out of them. So good ❤

[@Simnettnutrition]

That's awesome! I've heard the Costco's in the USA tend to have more organic produce, etc.

[@d2cbro]

yep raw cashews are a great deal. I just picked up ajinomoto yakisoba with vegetables. pretty tasty frozen noodle meal!

[@JohnGiasi]

Completely agree on "grabbing when supply is low" and in this case you shouldn't worry long! Costco labels discontinued items with a "death star" * on the price tag also manager clearances usually drop to ending in x.88, the Japanese BBQ is still x.99 (and there are pallets of stuff at mine, albeit Im near Boston so YMMV)! Great video seeing how much your shopping cart aligns with ours here!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it!

[@annak3380]

I didn't realize Costco did so much organic and vegan stuff! I'll have to take my time next time I go and go down all the aisles properly. Having said that , I live in England so maybe we don't have it all. I always buy those amazing dates though, and the frozen organic blueberries. We have organic courgettes too which are delicious, and I get my ground flaxseed, chia and hemp from there too. Also. organic tinned tomatoes by the case! I'm Italian, we use a lot of tinned tomatoes! That pasta brand you showed us, Garofalo, is a very good and usually quite expensive. I also always get the big bag of vacuum packed beetroots for salads and just snacking on! And a big bottle of Maple syrup, that lasts me ages because I only use it as a treat! Thanks guys for a great vlog, as always!😊😊

[@lordt78]

Costco is awesome.

[@patricaromboletti8658]

i live in Georgia---"different" selections don't even begin to cover it. I often play, "stump the Costco Manager" game. He has no idea what I am talking about most of the time. And organic is pretty much a foreign word at my Costco. For example "coconut aminos" was a big stumper for them. They first thought I should look in produce!

[@ilikeoptter]

I wish I had known you guys were going to Cosco. I would have asked you to pick up a few things for me.

[@zezty4295]

I'm celebrating my 7th year vegan this weekend. Happy veganuary yall and thanks for all the help along the way.not only with the vegan stuff but training aswell. I've been following for atleast 5-6 years. Thanks again you two.

[@ScottLane-ud9tj]

I'm 67 and I've been vegan/vegetarian for most of 35 years. My health is Excellent and blood tests/urine tests are Excellent. I recently had a cardiovascular test that showed No problems. My diet is low in salt, fat and sugar, and especially low in salt and sugar.

[@Alchemedess]

I think i heard somewhere that Frozen veg and fruits are actually better than fresh sometimes. Fresh fruits and veg get gathered unripe and frozen should be gathered ripe and get frozen shortly after

[@Simnettnutrition]

That's true!

[@adyarym]

Blueberries specially, an item that worth buying!

[@KennyPaulSmith]

I like all the "hidden gems" you've found at CCo. I so often roll through the store quickly, get the fe things I like, and don't seriously consider that there might be other vegan-friendly foods there. so love these vids. please keep making them!!!

[@BobbiKirchhoefer76]

Business man chili. 🤣 Thanks for the inspiration to get to my nearest Costco!

[@Simnettnutrition]

haha that's what we call it! I hope you find some goodies at your local costco!

[@angelawade1445]

Yes, I am getting me some businessman chili. Lol. Maybe Derek can get them to change the name.

[@kezseery2030]

The way Crystals giggles at you is so sweet. I love you both 🥹🥹

[@ChristCordogan]

I’ve recently started begging my Costco in Pleasant Prairie Wisconsin to please start stocking tofu. Costco frozen organic veggies is why I invested in a small chest freezer.

[@dustyoldhat]

They'll be like "what is that, some kind of cheese, right?"

[@libbyreed8588]

Keep hounding them about the tofu. Eventually they’ll hear you. Email them at corporate praising your specific store and put in your request for your preferred items. Keep mentioning it at ground level as well. They promote from within.

[@ChristCordogan]

@@dustyoldhat the funny thing is there are nearby stores in both Wisconsin and Illinois that regularly stock it and it appears meets their volume requirements to keep it on the shelf.

[@dustyoldhat]

I mean I'd hope so. It's 2024 not 1984@@ChristCordogan

[@abigailmorse4185]

I love how helpful you guys are. I only went plant based a week ago! Our Costco didn't have the canned beans either. I wonder what's going on... Also, frozen veggies are often better than fresh because they are flash frozen so they maintain their nutrients a lot better than having fresh veggies and fruit sitting in the fridge for like a week.

[@chezsuzie]

Welcome to the plant-based community! The planet and animals thank you! So does your body! Frozen veg is my favorite! So, so easy!

[@mkmoody2870]

Our Costco just switched brands on the black and garbanzo beans. We got restocked a couple of weeks ago.

[@jodimenardowens761]

I love you two. I love how human you are. I love the way Crystal laughs at you. What a great laugh❤

[@rationale7727]

Perfect video for me - I haven't been to Costco in a long time, but just switched to WFPB a couple months ago, and was wondering what they have there these days. Here's a tip to help greens (and everything else) last longer - when you get some out of the box (or bag), use clean dry stainless tongs. I follow a rule that anything going back into the fridge must never touch my hands, the counter, or anything else. Everything lasts WAY LONGER with so much less food waste and fewer trips to the store. According to Project Drawdown analysis, reducing food waste is the #1 MOST impactful strategy to combat climate change!

[@oliviamorgan-cherchas7953]

love the grocery store vlogs!! would love a Costco-themed meal prep :)

[@functionoflightone]

I don't think I've ever heard a camera "man" giggle that much. You have very happy staff. LOL

[@thecatniplife]

I'm now going to go to Costco with fresh eyes of what I should be buying. This is my year for going plant-based. Have been reading How Not To Die by Dr. Greger and it's really got me motivated to transition away from animal products. I was already motivated due to animal welfare issues but it's hard when you've eaten meat for 61 years of your life. I love veggies but it's challenging to break a lifelong habit of how you cook. I found your channel yesterday and it seems like exactly what I need to help with that transition.

[@Avery_4272]

As always, a fun and informative video - thanks Derek and Crystal! And I didn't realize how many great organic/vegan items Costco now has.

[@kirstennielsen5832]

We love Costco for our vegan staples! Those sprouted oats are bomb! We also get Kirkland raw cashews, maple syrup, frozen mango, & pistachios. Funny what you said about purple leaves in the spring mix, I’ve noticed that too! We just eat huuuge salads every day to eat up the greens as fast as possible lol

[@HidingFromFate]

I just grabbed 4 bags of the oatmeal today as Costco has a 7 day ad running with $3 off "coupon". Best by date shown on the bags is about a year. I probably should have grabbed more as I've never seen this oatmeal discounted here before. I probably go through a bag every couple months.

[@chezsuzie]

@@HidingFromFate Oooh--are those the organic sprouted oats? They're my FAVORITE! I use them for all kinds of stuff--they're SO great for GF pancakes--Costco managed to keep them in stock for most of 2023, but in the past they've sold out and not restocked. Needless to say I grabbed like 5 bags the other day! LOL!

[@HidingFromFate]

​@@chezsuzieyes, those. Good stuff, but I only use them for, well, oatmeal breakfast. I do wish Costco still stocked the Red Mill steel cut oatmeal as I preferred that type but doesn't look like it's ever coming back. Been gone probably close to 2 years now. 😢

[@kirstennielsen5832]

@@chezsuzie we use them for gf pancakes as well as gf oat bread! Our favorite! We fly through the bags so yeah, we buy at least 3 every time haha. Feels good to know they are so clean and they really are the best tasting!

[@chezsuzie]

@@kirstennielsen5832 GF Oat Bread? Sounds good! I don’t suppose you’d share the recipe?

[@veekay4181]

We also buy a bag of lemons and sometimes salad kit. If you want to buy sweet potatoes you should buy them from either Indian store or Asian store. They are white from inside and red from outside and utterly delicious when baked. What you get in American grocery stores are yams which are orange. Also for a big can of chickpeas always buy them from Indian grocery store or middle eastern which is a big can of 5 lb . Cilantro from Indian grocery store. Bean sprouts, green onions kaboocha squash etc from Asian grocery store.

[@user-ov4wr5yu4r]

Yes, the purplish pink ones. Do they have in US or only Canada? I'm going to have major culture shock leaving Hong Kong I'm afraid.

[@andheartts]

Korean sweet potatoes aka VANILLA CAKE 😊

[@laurawinger4339]

It's my birthday and I got my absolute fave: a grocery haul video from Simnett Nutrition. Happy birthday to ME!

[@ramblynrocketeer]

BC Costco definitely has more organic vegan options than our Costco in Kauai Hawaii 🌴 Great to learn of new products that possibly we can request at our Costco tho 😁👍 Have a super fantastic day!!

[@beyourbestwithbethany]

So much light and love comes pouring out of you guys in every video. Thank you for sharing!

[@GiannisVeronis]

I so much enjoy you guys hanging out togehter and laught together and doing your vegan lifestyle together....you are blessed with each other and I am so happy for you!

[@Simnettnutrition]

Thank you! Yes I feel very grateful. ☺️

[@bridgetvest7645]

To the both of you.....THANK YOU!!! When I find myself going off track I always come back to Simnett Nutrition. You 100 percent get me out of the dark hole of unhealthiness. I appreciate all that you both do.🥰

[@galaxy_cat199]

I watched this because you mentioned being Canadian in another video but when I saw the Costco and the rainy parking lot, I knew you were local. Thanks for the video! I'm so happy I can get these items at my local store.

[@brendafarris7350]

Awesome grocery haul. You're so fun! Loved the misprint tire cover.

[@Mrtigi67]

All of your videos are an inspiration to me. I especially loved this one because I was on the edge for a long time about getting a Costco membership. Now I’m totally convinced it’s worth it! I’m also really enjoying your ebook “easy vegan comfort meals”. Great recipes for a low price! Keep up the good work Dereck and Crystal keep on giggling! 😅

[@jeanneamato8278]

I wish we had Cosco. Deals were awesome! The best tho, was hearing Crystal giggling like crazy in the back. So much fun. Thanks guys. Watching grocery hauls is surprisingly inspiring.

[@linzertube]

This was so fun and funny! Love all the products from Costco, too! The Garden Salsa tortilla chips are new to me. I’ll have to look out for them. Thanks Derek and Crystal!

[@artistuk9590]

Awww just loving Crystal's appreciative giggly background sounds!! That "Move!!" at the end tho'. XD

[@AdamTLyon]

Love this video. Love your beard styling today. Hope you and Crystal have a great weekend. Thanks for the content!

[@gracehall9199]

Wow! Tofu? I bet it’s way cheaper than regular stores. I need to renew my Costco card. You should definitely be sponsored for promoting Costco. ❤ Thanks for sharing.

[@Kra-ri6fd]

I'm not vegan but I do eat more plant based due to kidney issues in the past...likely from a bout of Covid. But I buy a good portion of what you buy. I might look into a few more items you recommended. I do like how you know which items you have self control with and which you don't. I think we all could work on that a bit more. Setting yourself up for success by not buying those things that have more control over you than you have over them is a really good battle plan.

[@ocelotcat]

I actually found this very helpful. I've been considering becoming a member again. It's good to know they have a lot of organic products. It seems they have a lot more to choose from than they used to. Thanks again 🙏💜

I think that is a great idea for a first date. Be good to compare shopping trolleys on a first date and then do a recipe afterwards to see whom was best.

[@Simnettnutrition]

That would be so fun!

[@virgosmile]

The medjool dates there are AMAZING! AND i totally agree with you on the purple lettuce going slime quick!!!!

[@jonhillman871]

thanks derek. this is the only thing i found on youtube that is cheerful today. happy eating.

[@tammyt4959]

Awesome video! I felt like I was the one shopping as our must-have staples are just about the same. I have both Sam's & Costco memberships but appreciate all the organic options at Costco. One of our favorite snacks is the Kirkland Organic Roasted Seaweed. Our Costcos offer a creamy, organic oil-free peanut butter by Kirkland. BUT, I think it might be time for a video on the simplicity of making our own nut butters. 😉 I've never seen a sprouted bread here in US Costco's but I'll be looking for that. Hearing Crystal's giggle in the background made me smile EVERY SINGLE TIME! Thanks to you both for all you do.

[@susanporter5991]

[@kefirheals7383]

Actually - this video was much appreciated. As someone who struggles to figure out what to buy and cook, it was fun that you took us along. I don't have freezer space. Otherwise I would take advantage of buying most of the stuff you got. I have to go with much smaller bags. Thanks to you both.

[@maetaylor5677]

Thanks Crystal for filming love to see what you guys buy gives me some good ideas for next time I hit up Cosco

[@talkandeattv]

when I went vegan almost 9 years ago I got a costco membership just for the bulk organic frozen fruit ! perfect for my everyday smoothies

[@ditz3nfitness]

I'm not a vegan myself, but I LOVE vegan foods! I love having 1-2 days a week where I consume vegan foods for dinner because they're actually way better than people think if you just prepare them right! I'm a HUGE sucker for Air-Fried French Frie Seasoned Chickpeas! YUM YUM!

[@lisamarielindenschmidt649]

Oh, my god, the end was so funny! Derek, I would love to hear how you and Crystal divvy up your shopping amongst stores. Meaning, I go to my local farm and get as much produce there as I can, then I go to my local health food store to get other produce and sundry, and then go to my regular grocery store to get the rest. It's rare that I have to order stuff online, but there's that as well. I'm always fascinated to see how people maneuver being vegan and eating local and organic as much as possible. Thanks again for another fun video!

[@whererugoing]

I'm relatively new to Costco, so it was great to see what you get for ideas to watch out for! I love that they always seem to have organic celery which I find hard to get at my local grocery stores. On my next trip, I also plan to get quinoa & maple syrup. Thanks!

[@carmenbailey1560]

Awesome, loved tagging along your grocery haul. I buy chickpea pasta for myself and have it over a bowl of broccoli then followed by tomato sauce. Costco is a great one stop shopping experience. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️🙂

[@sookychunteng9311]

always so happy to watch your videos xx

[@ecogrl1]

Haha, that is actually a great idea for a first date, love it!! I went to Costco today too and it was also raining and foggy! Got some similar things. Found this amazing bag of frozen PuraVida Fire Roasted Primavera Vegetables that are made with avocado oil and had some with dinner and wow, game changer, you've got to try them!

[@vi3472]

I love this video! So fun! I also love Costco but hate the plastic and over abundance of cardboard packaging. You have lots of great items at your Costco that we don’t have here in Rockland County, NY. I mostly buy lots of produce, frozen vegetables and berries, tortilla chips, nuts, seasonings and household products such as soap, baking soda, probiotics and some clothing. Love the organic produce and some nonorganic bc not available. I also go to Trader Joe’s regularly which I know is not in Canada. Thanks for sharing!

[@stacyhuss9454]

Shopping with you two is the best!💚

[@beep-beepwatermelon4203]

When you were yanking out the strawberries I felt that in my soul

Super helpful video, thank you. Moving back to the US after 21 years away and this video gets me up to speed and saving money from the jump. Thank you ♥

[@davidearlmilmine896]

Thank you for this - I was writing furiously while video was running - I’ll be ordering the new cookbook - thank you

[@kiley07]

Thank you for this! I never know what to freeze and not to freeze. This is great!

[@NguyenVinhHang]

Yay, good to see the Costco haul from Derek and Crystal! I definitely need to look for the canned bean/lentils chili and make my own tamari almonds ( I have not search for them or don’t think they’re available in Austin, TX.) Yeah the Asian fashion copy cat jumbo mumble on anything always make me read on 😅 but it’s never a fortune just more what?head scratcher. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤪 The best tasting tofus are the organic, sprouted ones from Trader Joe’s ( 😢still not in Canada?) Sprout’s Farmers Market, and any featured brands at H-mart. I freeze the tortilla chips in portions and bake them for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees F since it’s not good for anyone to consume that much in one day, also the chips becomes so stale after two days anyway 😊

[@bethg2381]

Love this! You should definitely do more videos like this and bring in more nutritional information!

[@libbyreed8588]

Our Costco has tons of organic products. I guess it varies quite a bit from store to store. Almost all of the produce is organic. Fresh and frozen. They also stock the organic peanut butter and almond butter at our store.

[@Seajunkie]

Great topic! I just invested in a Costco membership at a great deal. Our locations have the organic peanut butter! I also was delighted to find Lotus Foods gf noodles

[@creativegirl4304]

That.was.fun. I'm always interested to see what vegan options are at different Costco locations or any chain actually. Especially being in the States it's cool to see what you guys have up in Canada! (I have a lot of family in different provinces, but they are not vegan).

[@kimberly-gm9nq]

I love your energy. And you remind me of the amazing gymnasts. You're funny and very relatable. Love from California ❤❤❤❤

[@ljean1825]

I get almost all of those same exact things! I looooove the bbq sauce, tofu marinaded in that, then crusted in panko and airfried is my favourite new discovery. I also get cases of almond milk, i get the kirkland almond butter, brown and basmati rices, ground flax, frozen stir fry veggies, potatoes, soy sauce, garlic powder, etc etc etc lol!

[@rosepinelopy4525]

I love it guys ,thank you for taking us shopping with you guys , i like shopping at Costco too ❤❤

[@oregonwoodelf]

This is almost identical to my Costco trips, even down to the shopping cart riding at the end🤘🧝‍♂ Regarding the plastic: In the US here, a lot of stores have drop offs for #2 & #4 plastic bags, so we always try to shop for those products and not support the companies that don't use easily recyclable packaging🌲

[@tanyak5154]

You guys are so fun to watch! Love that positivity ❤ I love Costco, but you never know what’s there next time.. unfortunately vegan stuff is not as popular here were I live so they don’t reorder.. miss that queso so much 😋 I live in Florida and I never seen organic papers, tomatoes or cucumbers in my Costco, that was a nice surprise 👍🏻 a lot of Kirkland stuff is the same here too.. we do have their organic peanut butter though and it’s best for that price

[@Neqiu]

I' ve just realised that you'll be on VCO this year in the UK! I' m soooo excited!

[@kristynyoung1895]

Loved this video! Looks just like our Costco hauls! We’ve been vegan for almost 3 years now and love it! One place I am struggling is with long term food storage though. Could you do a video on a few shelf stable breakfast lunch and dinners that are nutritionally on par with fulfilling our daily/weekly dietary needs from shelf stable, storable foods? I struggle with knowing what to keep stocked and how to prepare it into satisfying meals. Now that I have a family of 4 to support I feel like I need to figure that out! Any help appreciated!!

[@kat4animals004]

I learned from John Kohler years ago about picking avocados that still have that stem nub on it. It's a good idea.

[@JordanPike]

As someone who moved abroad doesn't have access to Costco anymore, this is fun to see! Thanks for sharing guys 😁

[@hollyferay8131]

There is so much i will now have to keep an eye out for.

[@silvanatotarella4395]

Enjoyed watching your video as usual!!!! Will definitely try the granola next time I am at Costco. Thanks for the giggles ...love your laugh Crystal😂😂😂

[@electron-Volt]

great video, thank you guys! Greetings from Finland!

[@danaw2232]

Love it! Love the French translation on the packaging! Somehow I feel like that has to make it taste better! 😊

[@CurtisKeyser]

Fyi: the greasy spot isnt from the Hippies. I worked for Costco 18years, and that is where someone set their sample cup instead of the trash. Saw it a thousand times. Hippes are good; You two are great!

[@monicanavarro1264]

Yeah!! Gotta love shopping at Costco 👏 prices and quantities can’t be beat. Especially for a large family like mine of 7 that we keep eating vegan. I was surprised to see you get most items we do too 😜 Not sure if Colorado Springs Costco might carry that size container of ginger - but if they did I would probably pass by it thinking “It’ll spoil or dry before I use it” It never occurred to me you could freeze it 🤯 Thx Derek!! I’ll look for the tofu and the japanese BBQ sauce 👍 We eat yakisoba since I saw you guys using it a while back 👏😜 I’m following and learning. 🥰 A venezuelan vegan mom of 4 in Colorado USA 👋🤩👏 Monica
