Is there a 2020 version of this video coming soon?! 🌝🌝 so many vegan items have come out in the last 2 years!!!

[@kennethmaese4622]

She really isn’t making KZbin videos anymore but she’s still active on Facebook.

[@LizzieVioletsLair]

I find myself explaining this over and over to non-Vegans. Sharing this will make my life so much easier! Am super happy your are making videos again!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Woohoo! Glad it will be helpful. Yes, my goal is to make two videos a month. I hope I can keep up with that! :)

[@mikaelalarsen2498]

EXACTLY !!! Helps when someone else goes public with the message, doesn't it ??? !!! x

[@chickadeefoot]

There are also vegan marshmallows which are identical to the non-vegan variety. TVP is a great pantry staple for ground beef. A lot of people come to me saying, "I mean, I'd love to be vegan but I'd miss cereal/pasta/boxed cake/whatnot." Look at the processed, easy, cheap foods you love and a bunch are already vegan. Thin mints, oreos, Pillsbury crescent rolls, soft pretzels, french fries, most dried pasta, most cereal, most boxed cake mixes and more are all vegan. Another criticism is that there is a nutrient disparity between the animal product and the vegan option. Truthfully, sometimes there is and sometimes there isn't. But animal products don't have unique nutrients plants don't! A tofu scramble has more protein then scrambled eggs. If you are afraid of tofu, a chickpea scramble will also give you the high protein breakfast you love. Seitan is higher in protein than any animal product. Almond milk is nearly water, but soy milk is often fortified and is naturally high in protein and calcium and lower in fat and calories. Coconut bacon will give you less nutritionally than tempeh bacon, but both are healthier than the pig! These foods will not just replace the flavors of animal products, they will make you just as satisfied and are packed with the nutrients your body needs.

[@chickadeefoot]

Also there are many store bought and homemade holiday roast replacements to try! The tofurkey is very classic and come with vegan brownies 😍

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Great tips, thanks Sabrina!

What an awesome resource for Veganuary!! Great job Sam 🤗🤗

Thanks so much Lisa! I hope new vegans will find it helpful :D

you’re so lovely, cute, and helpful ❤️ my mom bought me your cookbook for christmas and i made your cauliflower alfredo tonight for dinner. i love and trust your recipes. thank you so much 🌱 vegan love 😌

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay! So happy to hear that! Vegan love for the win :)

[@infinitelovegratitude5789]

New Vegans = Please check labels on all products before purchasing. (some of the items shown in this video contain eggs)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes, I didn't realise that a lot of Morning Star products weren't vegan. Gah! So annoying. I made a note in the post where I share the links. Good call!

[@infinitelovegratitude5789]

Thank you Sam. I appreciate all you are doing to spread the Vegan message! :-) As a rule, I steer clear of all Boca, Morningstar Farms, and Quorn Products. These brands use GMO and/or cater to Vegetarians....which I have come to realize is the exact opposite of Living Cruelty Free. LightLife has also chosen to use Eggs in some of their products, which is equally unfortunate. I trust Field Roast, Gardein, and Beyond Meat Brands to keep Vegan.

[@r3drob1n]

gardein is deeeelish!!

[@mikaelalarsen2498]

@@Itdoesnttastelikechicken RIGHT !!! Most Morningstar products are Vegetarian & isn't THAT annoying !!! There are a few Vegan products... Hope they keep improving... x

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Add black salt to a tofu scramble for really authentic tasting (and smelling) eggs. I missed cream cheese and lox on a bagel. The carrot “lox” (so easy to make) had me swooning with each bite! For super easy Pasta Putanesca (no anchovies), add a little tapenade to spag sauce.

[@NeutraKris]

I especially loved the buttermilk tip, because I have always been bummed there didn't seem to be an option for that! While convenient, I don't like a lot of the purchasable meatless products, because they're often full of not-good-for-you ingredients. Most vegan foods can be prepped in advance, so there's less work when you need to cook a meal, which is really nice. This video is a great resource for the new and seasoned Vegans alike!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you so much! Yes, personally I rarely eat the meat alternatives, I'm more into homemade stuff and veggies! :)

[@MelanieSerre-]

Hi 👋🏻 Sam! Thanks for making all your videos but especially this one! Love watching them and I learn so much! So happy that I came across your channel! Thanks 🙏🏻 ❤️😃

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Aww it's my pleasure! Welcome :D

[@BetteTwain]

I’ve been vegan for 3 years now and I found all the alternatives myself. ❤️

[@dawncierelli1510]

HI SAM!!!! Thank you so much for this video----I have already found the "store-bought" swaps, working on making things at home so I'm never "held hostage" by the food industry----again, thanks SO MUCH! for this and other videos---it's quite the food ministry you have going on--- for foodies and vegans alike! Have an awesome day out there! :)

[@rawismyreligion]

Awesome compilation, all a new vegan might be looking for! Sharing it with friends and family.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay!!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@elizabethpatrick5097]

Thank you. You have been a big help. Now I can go and purchase different things, to make wonderful tasting vegan foods. I've been vegan for 13 months and fell into a rut, and food was boring to me. Now I Know it will change, on to the grocery store on Friday.

[@cryssiejones7315]

Thank you for making this video to go fully vegan really soon

[@christinascollections6887]

im glad i found you!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I'm glad you found me too :)

OUTSTANDING EDUCATION BY SAM !!! :D Thank You !!!

I made your cranberry thyme cheese and non vegans love it! I is so good so addicting!

[@chaneastanley3783]

Great job. Awesome info. Honest and refreshing.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Woohoo! So happy you loved it Chanea :)

[@epdlp4506]

If you speak Spanish I recommend "Cocina Vegan Facil" which uses everyday ingredients nothing fancy or hard to find. They have vegan cheese, vegan mayo and vegan egg replacement.

[@paulgiacalone1159]

Hi Sam, Paul here from California. Love what your doing! Great job!!! I have been veg for about 9 months and recently went vegan and I'm loving it. I have kinda went off the deep end though. I too watched all the docs you talked about and they blew my mind totally however I just watched "Food that Cure Diseases" which brought me to a different level of OCD. LOL. The doc was good for the discussions with the various doctors and their opinions. Dr Esselstyn and his whole following talks about any oil being a bad thing.We have adopted this policy into cooking but its really hard not to use oil. Any thoughts on alternatives or how to be successful eliminating oil?

[@mikaelalarsen2498]

Hi Paul! I know what you mean about oil (& sugars). It is true that the OPTIMUM diet is oil & sugar free... And it is possible to achieve that if you want to. There are many ways in which to do that... For example, using Vegan broth /applesauce instead of oil. Unfortunately, while I have many suggestions & recipes relevant to your question, I have ZERO time right now. I have an awesome video which I will find for you later which has many recipes & cooking tips in it for an oil & sugar free diet. x

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

I read somewhere that after straining a can of beans you can use the gooey liquid part as a replacement for eggs in baked goods. It works as a binder, but it wouldn't create that airy texture like eggs do, I assume. It would be interesting to try in certain applications like cookies, brownies, etc., things that don't need to be "fluffy." :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes, you can use it, it's called aquafaba, and it's generally used in replace of whipped egg whites, such as in my vegan meringue cookies: itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/vegan-meringue-cookies/ and on my lemon meringue pie in my cookbooks :)

[@SweetStuffOnMonarchLane]

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken. Oh! Thank you! I'm still waiting from Amazon for your cookbook!! My husband's favorite pie is lemon merengue! :)

[@carriepoel7313]

Your recipe for carrot hot dogs is life changing!!!

[@kennethmaese4622]

Thanks Sam!

[@raniayacoub1770]

Great Advise!

[@SophiaNormantas.]

What a great thorough vid for new vegans!! Well done👏🏼

[@carolynturnbull8754]

Great chatty video...I have to try the Hellman's Veganaise :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yes, it's good! It's sometimes labelled as "carefully crafted", I haven't seen the one that says "vegan" on it yet :)

[@bonzodog67lizardking15]

For me, vegan is just another option that gives me flexibility in cooking; just like spice hacks and clone recipes. I like to be able to alternate between what my body is asking for. On a hot summer night, there are some terrific things you can do with sauteed zucchini! I once had an excellent eggplant meat substitute in a parboiled and baked bell pepper. Sadly it didn't reheat well, but it was terrific straight out of the oven!

[@jodykivlin]

Thank you so much -- that video is AWESOME!! I just posted it on the USA Today facebook story about animals :)) - hope everyone comes to watch! Also, had a thought to mention that if people can't find the store versions of vegan items like those you show, they can find them to purchase online through Amazon or Vegan Essentials or other sites. You are awesome, Sam!! THANK YOU! Go vegan world!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

So happy you liked it Jody, and thanks so much for sharing! Yes that's right, a ton of good places to buy them online as well. :)

[@HeronCoyote1234]

Excellent video. One of my fave subs is cashew cream for...everything! For instance, add maple syrup, it’s awesome on cake. With garlic powder and chopped spinach, it makes a wonderful ricotta. Both get a “when are you going to make this again” from my 15 yr old.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Great tips!

[@StephieGilley]

I went vegan but my blood work didn't come back to the healthy range until I quit oil. I do a whole food plant-based no oil gluten free diet now and my blood work is all normalized and in the healthy range. I am hoping to find more recipes that are this kind of Vegan, so I'm checking out your channel. Thank you!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Oil-free and gluten-free aren't my focus but I do have the odd recipe.

[@Ae-ne5iy]

Better than Sour Cream Tofutti is good as both a sour cream and a cream cheese. It’s way better than the Tofutti cream cheese. Soaked chia seeds are fantastic decent egg replacement for vegan baking recipes. Gooey proteins. The best vegan mozzarella cheese is Sam Turnbull’s recipe that there are many else much like but still. I must get your bacon recipes. Vegan marshmallows are the only marshmallows. Sam I’m gonna set up my kitchen and share recipes with you and everyone. A scoop of So Delicious with a mix of liquid coco oil and agave and a dash of cinnamon is delicious. I much like agave. I cannot wait to try the apple products that are crystallized to feel like raw honey though. My ferret’s emergency tummy ache drink is electrolyte water and honey but only from trusty beekeepers. I myself prefer agave. My transition to being vegan again is going great thanks to these really nice supplements I got. Heck ya.

[@raniayacoub1770]

Good Morning, can yóu please suggest eggs for backing cakes ?

[@nallely__rodriguez]

I love your channel and personality! thanks for all the info! :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you so much, Nallely :D

[@patriottroll1764]

You are the cutest vegan on KZbin!

[@karobachner]

Great video! This will help so many people to get through Veganuary! :) I use the vegan "buttermilk" trick for pretty much all my cakes, because it makes them super moist and fluffy at the same time. And usually people love them and can't believe that they are 100% vegan!^^

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Woohoo! So happy you think it will be helpful, and awesome that you make delicious vegan treats!!

[@user-vx6tc8mv9y]

Hi, I'm seriously looking at going vegan, but worried I may loose weight, I'm already slim and don't need or want to loose any weight. But want to be healthy. Any advice on trying to get a good balance. Forgot to say, I'm the mum of 4 and kids and hubby don't want to go vegan but happy to eat vegan once/twice a week at dinner. I'm happy to buy/make yum healthy snack replacements for them to try and if like keep replacement.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Hi Jane! While it's true, lots of people slim out when going vegan, I have also known people who gained weight. I think your body finds a natural balance. Meat and cheese are some of the most calorically dense foods (other than oil), so when you cut those out, many often lose weight. In order to maintain your weight you just have to eat the same amount of calories you do now, but just with vegan food. Foods such as nuts and avocado are higher in calories so including them in your diet will help reach your calorie goals, as well as making sure your portions are larger. There are many vegan bodybuilders who gain a ton of muscle so you can definitely be vegan and be any size you want to be. Hope that helps!

[@mcfadzec1]

Great vid-- where did you get your shirt?

[@ariesg8832]

Awesome!!

[@ashrillcaw]

You showed a lot of Morningstar Farms products, most of which are not vegan. I write them continuously asking them to veganize everything. Encourage everyone else to too. One day they'll get it.

[@verdad1234]

Miyoko’s is the Queen of vegan cheeses

[@marciab1279]

I LOVE HER

[@xpolentaedgex]

i can´t imagine go to a supermarket and find this range of vegan products. I know that this industrialized products aren´t the key to get into a plant based diet, but definetily helps. almost 95% of this products don´t exists here in BRAZIL, and the other %5 that we have here it´s F**KING expensive. a example: if i want to eat jackfruit, i need to climb a tree lol

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I often find that fake meat products help people make the transition easily, and then as their tastebuds change, they tend to lean more towards whole foods anyways. From my experience at least. You certainly don't need them however, that's why I mentioned all they ways you can make your own versions, or replace with other things like beans :)

[@healthybodyhealthymind7756]

what is the point of going vegan and make all this effort only to end up eating junk food? you save the animals while harming yourself with GMO canola oil and processed crap... that doesn't make any sense...

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Saving the animals and the environment is the point. Not everyone wants to be healthy all the time.

[@heatherhale2114]

Dont eat GMO and processed then. Vegan can be healthy too.
