VEGAN MEAL PREP HACKS | how to save time in the kitchen

[@PickUpLimes]

Hahaha #science, I love your sense of humour so much. That music during the kale massage literally made me laugh out loud. Love all of these tips: this video was JAM PACKED with awesome info, you're amazing!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww you just made me blush! Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Sadia! I think the kale massage was my fave and now I think of it every time I eat kale haha.

[@PreppyHeiress26]

@pickuplimes the song is Careless Whisperer by George Michael and it is ICONIC in the US and UK (and maybe even Asia & Australia as well). 🤣🤘

[@marirose756]

Pick Up Limes I’m so glad you and Nisha are friends. You two have the best vegan channels on YT.💙✌🏼🌀

[@iraidarodriguez8929]

I'm not vegan, but I try to eat plant-based meals as frequently as I can. Your channel is helping me learn a lot. Thank you!

[@benatural49]

I massage my kale with avocado. I like the flavor better than oils. Thank you for providing all of the recipes. Great video!

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Thank you so much! A plant based meal prep I will actually do. I love farro and steel cut overnight oats. Thank you for posting the amount of each ingredient and leaving it up long enough to write down. You have a new (well, at 63, I could say old) fan.

[@victoriaprevitt7058]

Omg that kale massage with the music killed me haha. Love this video!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

hehe i'm so happy you enjoyed that part. it was my favorite part too!

[@This_Womans_Work]

That lentil kale flatbread looks ON POINT! Loving your videos ~ definitely will try to recreate these 💚

[@RainbowPlantLife]

It's one of my favorite 2-minute meals! Thank you so much, Melissa! So happy you're enjoying my videos :)

[@austinz.9362]

Just discovered you, and praise be. Your videos are saving my life - in the kitchen! So clear cut, thank you.

[@SarahNicholls]

I just found your channel after reading one of your comments on Pick Up Limes videos. I’m so impressed, new subscriber and I feel a binge watch coming on!! 💓💓💓

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Sarah! Welcome and thank you so much for your kind words :) So happy you found your way here through Sadia!

[@tanzdurchalles]

Same here!! Loving all your content and your sense of humor 😃🙌

[@RainbowPlantLife]

aww hahah thank you! i'm so happy to hear that!

[@rubyscott6685]

Loved your breakfast hack! They were all delicious, but the chocolate one, OMG! Can’t wait to try out the superfood seed hack as well. Thank you!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So glad you enjoyed them all. I love anything with chocolate lol!

[@TheSweetpea73]

I just stumble on your channel today and love your videos. I started the vegan way of eating 4 years but find it hard to fully commit since I eat fish and eggs every now and then. You're such an inspiration and I love your recipes. I just subscribed to your channel.

[@rishmatv3658]

I think you may have just up-levelled my life A LOT

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Rishma! What a sweet and thoughtful comment. Thank you for the love, I really appreciate it!

[@gillianadams2323]

You make the best vegan food. Love it!

[@maryking9594]

Thank you, Nisha, I am new to the Vegan Lifestyle. I appreciate your tips and meal prep ideas.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Mary! Welcome and thank you so much for your kind comment :) If you have any questions or need tips, feel free to reach out :)

[@CoenVazquez]

Just found you today while looking up vegan instant pot recipes (new to instant pot) and my goodness, your videos are PHENOMENAL. Got your book, am so looking forward to trying all your recipes. They just look delightful AFFFF. Thanks for making these videos! Appreciate you!

[@mrslawgames9086]

These are fantastic ideas. Simple, gorgeous, tasty and full of nutrients. I am definitely going to put some of these into my rotation.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hey Amanda! I'm so happy you enjoy these ideas! They are some of my favorites for easy healthy meals. Hope you like them!

[@marlyngreen192]

I just found your channel, for January, ive given up meat, and was looking for inspiration when i came across your channel,, absolutely love your channel....I subcribed!

[@RugbyNationTV]

That Kale massage cracked me up as I always have found it such a funny thought "massaging" veggies.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hehe I'm glad you enjoyed it. Even plants need a little love now and then 😆

[@tonyacarey4176]

I love the idea of combining the super seeds in one jar... doing it Today...

[@helenzik]

I am so happy I found your channel! Incredibly pleasing to watch and I have got so many new ideas and inspiration. I love your idea to make a seed blend. But I have found myself wasting my seeds/nuts because I had no idea how to store them properly (for example poppy seeds, flax seeds, almonds, etc). I learn as I go but perhaps you could make a video on how to best store the most common nuts and seeds. (Saw from one of your video that you store more expensive ones in freezer - great idea). :)

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Helen! Welcome to my channel :) Thank you so much for visiting and for your kind words. I'm glad you find my videos helpful, such a great compliment. And thanks for the new video suggestion!

[@photosbycarmenkc3509]

You are so kind! thank you! I am finishing up a big project but I’ll be back to making videos soon!

Thank you for the fresh ideas! This is far from the ordinary meal prep video, and I'm loving it.

Aww I am flattered that you think it’s far from the ordinary! Will do more meal prep in the future :) thanks April!

[@hollyinglis9308]

Your videos are really helpful and easy to follow for beginner vegans! Thank you!! 💌

[@RainbowPlantLife]

You're so welcome - I am so glad to hear they're helpful :)

[@melindakay0815]

Great ideas! Everything looked delish. Can't wait to try those roasted veggies! Made me hungry! I'm new to the vegan "scene" and really enjoying the flavors and learning how to combine foods to make amazing dishes that taste delicious! Haven't made the complete, full transition yet, but getting closer. With so many choices out there, I don't think I'm going to miss the unhealthy eating at all. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi Melinda, thank you! You’re in such an exciting and fun learning phase :) And you have the right approach - focusing on all the delicious foods you CAN eat on a vegan diet! Glad I can provide some inspiration!

[@Nicole-lm3nk]

This was very helpful and realistic to me! The food looked delicious as well, which makes me excited to try it out!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

What a wonderful compliment :) I hope you enjoy everything. Thanks, Nicole!

Great and very simple meal prep. Will try now thank you and I have all of that stuff at home oddly enough.

The variety of different food combinations is so great! I am like you, I cannot prep and eat the same meal for 5 days. I get bored too.

[@mastermind0981]

Love your videos, you are clear, easy to understand. I am a regular food foodie. Becoming vegan for health. I almost gave up because I was eating tasteless, boring food. In addition, I didn't understand vegan food and preparation. Felt frustrated, deflated, thanks to your videos have renewed hope, giving my all. When a person is like me a great home cook, we get frustrated with vegan. I am trying your sauces to add flavour and interest. I'm binge watching your channel.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi there, I am so happy you are enjoying my videos and they are giving you renewed hope :) It can be easy to do a vegan diet plain and boring, but I can't stomach bland food lol. I hope you will enjoy my recipes!

Hi. I'm new to your channel. This was an awesome video. On the Superfood Seed Sprinkle, do you have to roast the Pumpkin and Sunflower Seeds before mixing everything together?

[@bethchaplin2023]

Really great ideas here! But after trying all the recipes, I was surprised to find that the nutritional yeast caused me to have a headache! I looked it up, and apparently this is common. Just adding this as a warning; I may try a more high-end brand, or just use it more sparingly in the future.

[@positivitina1282]

Nisha first of all: you look stunning! Love your lipstick! Your food is amazing and the carrots! My love for baked carrots is so big i have them every single night!!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Aww Christina! You are too kind, my friend! That's awesome you eat carrots every day! You must have perfect skin and eyesight :)

[@cherylb5871]

There’s a baked carrot recipe!? And it’s good? I didn’t think u could eat carrots daily. Why did I believe your skin could turn orange? I love my carrot soup (made 1/2 gallon last time) & I restrict how much I can eat because I don’t want to turn orange.

[@natyan32]

Regarding the overnight oats: what do the chia seeds do? What is a replacement for them in this recipe? I ran out!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Hi there! They help thicken the oats, as chia forms a gel when soaked. And they add omega-3 fatty acids :) They aren't essential though. I often make overnight oats simply with plant milk and plant yogurt and it's still great!

[@natyan32]
