[@ingakarlsson]

Caitlin Shoemaker Hey Caitlin 👋 I'm one if those people who never comments on anything 😝 Just wanted to say I watch all your videos and enjoy them a lot. You're one of my top 2 favourite KZbinrs (along with Sarah's Vegan Kitchen). Also recently started following you on Instagram, thanks for all of your interesting and informative stories there. And the beautiful pics, of course!

[@sarahwaters346]

Hey Caitlin love the recipes and I was wondering how you store the food to eat at a later time, in the fridge or on the counter?

[@jasiahbenedict828]

a trick : watch series at Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@callankellan4955]

@Jasiah Benedict definitely, I have been using Flixzone for since november myself :D

[@CassieTranthesuperfitbabe]

Those vanilla buckwheat bars look delectably awesome! I love the way you wrapped them too!

[@lucindasamira8351]

Loved the snacks again! What i was wondering about: what do you do with all the food you make? For example all the bars? You seem to eat normal/ moderate amounts in your WIEIAD video’s, so do you keep the rest of them stored in your fridge/freezer? Do you plan your food out ahead or do you still deal with throwing food away sometimes/ do you give it away to people? Do you ever find yourself overeating/binging when you made a batch of something you really love? Sorry i lot of questions, just really curious! Xx

[@Isabella-vm3ir]

Lucinda Samira those are such great questions!!! I hope she answers!!!

[@laurahoogsteden6542]

curious too

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

If it's "everyday" food like a Meal Prep video or school lunches, I usually just keep it all in my fridge and eat it throughout the week. I hardly ever have to freeze leftovers, but I do if I need to! I typically eat less desserts/snacks, so I eat some of those, but then share the rest with my roommates and friends in the area :) I HATE throwing food out and wasting food, so I never do that! lol

[@jasminehayes1122]

I always have buckwheat groats in the cabinet. Try them as a topper on your oatmeal. Crunchy, healthy, and delicious!

[@amandajeanlimabean4602]

those buffalo chickpeas look great! I love crunchy snacks!

[@Veganyackattack]

"Published quote-errr.." You are the best! Thank you for the kind words about/literally on the book, and for sharing the bars!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

hehe! love you girl!

[@jordanrish6932]

I love your videos!! When you do the voiceovers, you voice is so relaxing to listen to!

[@marianavasquez6330]

Have you ever thought about how you are turning eternal by sharing these videos? When I get to live by myself I'll check From My Bowl religiuosly, even if I'm not vegan by then. I love your channel and all the energy you put in them! Seriously thanks for this gift you are making for the internet world. Greetings from Chile!

[@kategibs0n]

I love these lunch box video ideas! My goal this year is to eat more healthy by bringing my lunch to school every day. I enjoy your videos and your recipes. I am not vegan but it gives me inspiration as to what to make so I really appreciate that! I would really love more lunch box ideas like pasta, salads, and other hot meals for adults as I am in college and I live at home so I am always lacking inspiration as to what to pack. Thank you!

[@maskitmati]

the next time someone asks me what i can eat as a vegan i’m gonna link them to your channel hahahahah

[@threesugh]

You still have the spark in you Caitlin! Keep up the good work 💕💕💕

[@deafinitelydivine]

Dude I’m so happy I found your yt! Your recipes get me so excited and make me wanna start cooking lol I’m a pescatarian slowly trying to transition into a vegan

[@elizabethmitchell9403]

I love how you have grown in your video creation. Love your channel!!!

[@marharytaharachka5634]

Savory buckwheat porridge (made from toasted buckwheat seeds) is a super popular side dish in Eastern Europe, delicious and nutritious

[@maeve7239]

y’all i made the hazelnut balls with toasted coconut mylk instead of coffee and OMG IT WAS SO GOOD

[@Alexis-kd9tm]

I can't wait to try the chickpeas recipe!

[@JohannaZee]

I have that cookbook, so I need to explore that recipe and others. I also want to make your other two recipes, because they look amazing!

[@kiaraanderson3994]

Everything looks delicious! I was just at the store the other day looking at the Ferrero Rocher chocolates. I began reminiscing about how they were my favorite pastime treat. It's a sign… I've got to make those balls!

[@spencerchase8328]

Going to make those bars for my kayak trip this weekend !! Thanks for sharing!

[@michellek1121]

I have to try those hazelnut balls! They look so good!!!

[@Adrienne82891]

Loved all of these snacks. Going on a birthday roadtrip next week and was thinking of healthy things to bring with me. I'm going to make the chickpea like you did since I already have chickpeas at home. Thanks for all the inspo!

[@avaleenarose8046]

I love this ! All the recipes use stuff I don’t know what to do with lol 💗

[@Isabella-vm3ir]

Yum I so wanna make those granola bars!!!

[@getupdated6355]

I wish i could make all of your meals! It makes my mouth waters all the time! Anyways, you look sooo beautiful even with out make up girl! You slay by being simple! Love lots! ❤️

[@caja24]

Love that the last one is without the food processor, cause I don‘t have one and I can never make any UNTIL NOW 😍

[@susanh1104]

They all look amazing! I've been watching all your back to school videos :D

[@davidthescottishvegan]

Great for eating on the go and where vegan options maybe limited. Your recipe's are always cheap and easy to make. Are you enjoying living with Chris and Jasmine?

[@kaycibacker8278]

omg those hazelnut chocolate balls !! YUM

[@dulceesperanza2386]

It's so hard to eat vegan in Texas (everyone here loves their meat) but ur channel really helps me out! Thank you. ❤🇨🇱

[@courtneyswan842]

Just made the energy bites and they are BOMB I coated them in enjoy life chocolate too😍

[@katie7789]

I would love to see some type of fruit gummy!! Maybe like fruit snacks or fruit roll ups :)

[@medallo143]

Like fruit leather! I've never made any but I've heard it's actually not that hard!

[@jeanetteschaeche551]

Is there an alternative to using buckwheat if we don’t have any buckwheat? Love love loved this video! Definitely some recipe inspos I needed for my snacks ❤️

[@brandywinelewis]

Thank you for this; I'm packing my daughter's lunches this year and although they aren't vegan, I wanted to incorporate more vegan food into their diets 😏 I actually almost bought some "energy bites" and buffalo chickpea snacks today but said you know what, I can make those at home easy as pie. Then this video popped up 😅 awesome

[@EvolutionofMasha]

Yum. Those buffalo chickpeas look so good!

[@megthechosenone]

I really want to make these chickpeas but with bbq now! They look so tasty (i say this as I eat the date "snickers" i made today).

[@MissAnna28101]

I’m gonna try out the granola bars!!!

[@ranu800]

This is great for lunch! I will try and bring it!

[@likechaaa]

This video was on point! I’m planning on making two of the recipies this week 👌

[@NishaBalsara]

I LOVE YOUR NAILS

[@takemeaway99]

They all look great! Thank you!

[@mariacastro1180]

I love your nails! Definitely going to try the energy balls

[@ledgergirl12]

DEFINITELY trying these this semester!

[@ShalaLicia]

All of these look so good, especially the energy bars 💕

[@languagelynnie]

OMG YUM!!!!! Going out to buy the ingredients now!! @Caitlin - you are a frickin' genius!

[@JonesLeFae]

Wow! All of these recipes look really great! Can't wait to try them!

[@oliviacharlotta545]

Thanks so much! I love this vid I want to try all of the recipies!!

[@allisonbristow2908]

These look so freaking good! I’m making all of them!!

[@KateNotKatelynn]

YOUR EYE BROWS ARE ON POINT👌🏻 yes gurl werk it!!

[@MissBeautiiii]

Will try all of them!

[@katiedavis6950]

is there a reason you used parchment rather than your silicone mat in the chickpea recipe? like would using a silicone mat not work as good or affect the cooking of it?

[@drakevandoozer1557]

katie davis I was curious about that as well

[@lizzybird142]

Do you know what temperature to put them on? I'm making them currently and don't know what temperature to preheat the oven to or how long to put them in

[@TheOneAngelina]

Yaaaasssss I will be making all of these!!!

[@saramariabarbaglia1594]

Eyebrows on point lol :) love the mocha balls😍

[@hileeery]

You are so inspiring!! Thanks for all your videos ❤

[@faizamehmood594]

Sooo yummy and your nail art is soo good ! ❤❤

[@farida7148]

queen of cooking, THANK YOU 💓

[@jadiew4840]

Hi Caitlin, what can I use as a substitute for Buckwheat?

[@elizabethjudea2055]

Yay!!! Great video!❤ I'm so excited to try these.😊

[@leavemealone3198]

I m sure this will help me this year ! Thanks Caitlin ❤️

[@shannaredfeather]

Can you make the buffalo chickpeas in a toaster oven? I do not have an oven or an air fryer

[@Rachaelxx-d2i]

Can you please do a recipe video all about different nut and seed butters and ways to use them?? I’ve never used tahini and I’m still stuck on what to do with it 😂

[@maeve7239]

Veg Slayer basically all nut butters can be used to do the same thing.

[@Rachaelxx-d2i]

Abby but they all have different flavours. That’s why I think a video would be great 😊

[@Rachaelxx-d2i]

Zana Serdar Thank you SO much! That was incredibly helpful. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply

[@medallo143]

@@Rachaelxx-d2i I agree. I always buy tahini and it ends up sitting in the cupboard unused :(. I know it's really popular among vegans as a salad dressing (maple syrup, lemon, tahini?). And obviously hummus...

[@summerleighc]

She isn't vegan, but Molly Yeh is a food blogger obsessed with tahini, so maybe could get ideas there!

[@fionath5024]

What makes them vanilla-y? Love these recipes!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

the vanilla extract!

[@fionath5024]

Ohhh lol somehow I missed that

[@quinnell97]

Theres no clip where u add the vanilla in this video but there is in the blogpost

[@RuzicaMikulic]

@@quinnell97 it's in a little after the 7 min mark

[@susanjos2315]

Another great video Caitlin! Could I substitute something else for the cornstarch in the chickpea recipe? I'm not crazy about using corn since the majority of it is GMO. Thanks!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

you could use another flour if you'd like! I also purchased a non-gmo cornstarch from thrive market, that's what i use :)

[@TijmenJanssen]

Caitlin, you are a genius

[@lulasamir2794]

I found the Hazelnut Mocha Energy Balls interesting so I gave them a try. I thought 2.5 cups ground Hazelnut was too much so I halved the recipe only to regret it dearly when it was a major hit with my family 😔 Great and simple recipe👍 Next time I make it I might even double the recipe 😂

[@TyrellFrye]

Great video!! Need to at some of these to my channel lol 👌🏾👌🏾🌱🌱🌱

[@stefaniewithanf7026]

I would love to try the chickpeas with BBQ sauce, but since I don't fancy chickpeas that much, do you think I could also try with beans?

[@user-on8gs8om4q]

What kind of blender/food processor would you recommend for smoothies and recipes?

[@katarinabrowne604]

Cranberry Golden Milk Energy Bites i am trying to find these cookies on KZbin? Can you help me? I made mocca balls. That is something best in the world. I like that I roasted flour a bit before mixing. So tasty

[@lyndseym893]

Random thought but your eyebrows look great!!!

[@MsMagicStache]

Do you have to use the nutritional yeast in the chickpeas?? Roasted chickpeas are one of my favorite snacks🤤 and have you already done a dorm friendly breakfast video because that would be super useful!!

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

you don't have to, but it adds more depth of flavor! if you decide not to, i would sub with more cornstarch

[@lauraruiz6476]

What would you recommend instead of coffee in the energy bites?:) Would like to make them but I don't drink coffee.:)

[@cameronheaney9046]

laura ruiz I would try almond/plant milk!

[@lauraruiz6476]

I just made them with water and used tahin as the nut butter, turned out amazing😍

[@toritori2299]

for chickpeas - what could i use instead of the yeast? ive searched everywhere in my town and there's no nutritional yeast.

[@catalinagarcia4819]

you look a lot like kiera mcnally! and y'all are both sOOo pretty 💘

[@AhalaSwaggerific]

Hazelnut flour is super expensive, would oat flour work?

[@ellekatrina1900]

oh my days, i need to make all of these :)

[@jananiananthanarayanan4794]

Can you make the chickpea snack on Stove Top?

[@busyperson4142]

What can I use instead of nutritional yeast??

[@ryla157]

Thank you for these❤️❤️❤️

[@nicolelynch9952]

thanks for the video!! question for you. i’ve made crispy chickpeas before, but are they meant to be kept in the fridge? i kept them out and they molded, but then in the fridge they stopped being crispy..

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

Nicole Lynch I would store them at room temperature but eat them within 2-3 days!

[@cristyorosco748]

I love this

[@christinecatani6273]

More buckwheat recipes please!

[@jennareneel1133]

Where do I get hazelnut flour? Can you make more ball ideas please that don’t have chocolate chips like these! Please

[@kathystoner5239]

How do you store the chickpeas?

[@rima3790]

Unfortunately I have no access to buckwheat, any alternative I can use ?? Love you 😘😘💖💖💖

[@maeve7239]

rahoma I’m not sure anything else could work...maybe try quinoa? Or partly cooked steel cut oats?

[@nahedashraf261]

Soooo good❤❤❤

[@sandynegron939]

Before you cook the buckwheat, do I have to soak it over night?

[@caitlynaasman284]

I love your nails in this video 😍

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

hehe thank u

[@miadruckrey8629]

My queen

[@hlektraa2695]

What can I put instead of dates?

[@monarie7856]

Awesome vid... and thanks for inculding an energy ball vid without the need of a food proessor! Could you tell how long you can store the buckwheat bars? And if it's better to put them in the fridge or not and better in an airtight container or not? I've made muesli bars before but they kinda went to waste after only three days. Thanks a lot!!

[@Veganyackattack]

With these bars, I found it depends on how much moisture is left after baking. If you're concerned with them being shelf stable, I refrigerated mine and they lasted longer than I'd thought they might! I'd say two weeks for good quality bars. I also travel with some and they lasted a couple of days in my back pack. Hope that helps!

[@monarie7856]

It helps a lot!! Thank you so much. Looking foward to making them :)

[@chantelle5501]

Yummm! I must try :)

[@marcemolinab3091]

If I can't get buckwheat, what ingredient could I use?

[@arielreyna9931]

i missed back to school videos

[@jennareneel1133]

Where do I buy buckwheat? Isn’t buckwheat gluten free?

[@deed3259]

Hi

[@staykind8185]

That's not your typical buckwheat. Standard buckwheat is dark brown in color and requires cooking. It is as hard as uncooked raw beans and impossible to chew. Those are buckwheat groats. They are yellow/green in color; crunchy but still chewable. They do not require cooking.

[@rebeccajones4922]

Stay Kind i make these all the time with traditional buckwheat and her recipe is perfect for them.

[@shippermd]

YUM! Gonna try all of them! Will ground chia work in that one with ground flax, tho? Am also gonna do those mocha balls using pumpkin seed or cashew flour and will sub carob or cocao powder vs coffee.

[@CaitlinShoemaker]

yes, ground chia will work as well!

[@cdog26hh]

Buckwheat bars.

[@KurzesHaarCosplay]

LOVE your nails!

[@Hiyoyoful]

I never knew Ferrero rocher was pronounced like that but it makes sense :)

[@Hiyoyoful]

And awesome recipes!’
