Vegan What I Eat in a Day-FT. Will Tennyson - Fantastic Recipes!

[@MamaTenny]

I hope you all give these recipes a try, I was blown away and thoroughly enjoyed my full day of vegan eating! What are some of your favs that I should try?

[@karigranger3120]

Impressive!!

[@oxanadc]

try making some silken tofu carbonara or also some chickpea mayo salad does are always amazing

[@morganicwatts879]

Loved the video!!! A few ideas stir fry using tofu vegetables of choice and a whole grain of choice. Easy to make and customize. Protein oatmeal with lots of nuts, seeds, and fruit. Pasta dishes using a chickpea or lentil pasta with maybe some tvp and loads of veggies. So many wonderful options.

I started my vegan journey because I love animals so much and don’t want them being harmed in any way.

[@andreabellini6796]

Thank you so much for this! I’m almost 49 and have been vegan for 20 years. I’m in perfect health, no medications, sicknesses etc. I feel amazing and actually have an eco friendly housekeeping business so I keep busy scrubbing homes 5 days a week.

[@MamaTenny]

That’s fantastic! Kudos to you for being so committed! Your kind comments are much appreciated 😊❤

[@chemeg72380]

I literally squealed in delight at the shout out 😂Thank you so much for doing this video! I loved these meals and am absolutely going to try these recipes! I am so glad that you and Paul (and Will!) enjoyed the meals. You are such a wonderful chef, this first try at vegan meals is so inspirational!

[@MamaTenny]

Hi Megan! I was going to send you a message but thought I’d just wait to see if you saw it! Thank you for the inspiration, I had so much fun doing it and was so shocked that everything was so incredibly tasty! ❤❤❤

[@terridemarest7880]

Been a vegetarian then Vegan since I was 17. I am 56 now. Wanted to say you did an amazing job with those food choices. This California girl is really enjoying your channel. Thank you for including us vegans 🙂

[@MamaTenny]

Wow, thank you! I’m so happy to have you here with me!😍❤

[@fairykun]

I've been an ethical vegan for around 8 years now so I really appreciate this video!!

[@blanchetv]

You know you are a bad ass in the kitchen when you make even vegan food look drool worthy! Well done, especially that parmigiana just brilliant!

[@MamaTenny]

You’re the best, thank you Blanche!❤️

[@markwilliamson9140]

Love Will, he's one of my favorite KZbinrs. He's funny, nice to see him in your video. 🤣

[@MamaTenny]

I think so too Mark (possibly slightly biased 😂) I grab him whenever I can!❤

[@Kx____]

what a great video mama tenny, love this. i am a long term vegan and for me it's very easy to eat at least 100 grams of protein a day and i'm not even trying but maybe i'm naturally more drawn to foods that are high in protein (i eat a lot of tofu, soy yoghurt, soy milk, also love me a lot of seeds and oatmeal etc.) but it's easy to see why others may struggle a bit as it's adjusting for a while. i think this is a very sweet video. will you please do another day? would love that!

[@happyandjoyful7916]

What a great video! I’m 78 years old and a vegan since 2010. I’m taken for 55 years old and not too often, late 40’s.😊 Yes, it’s imperative to keep up the protein along with foods that help our bodies make collagen. You did a wonderful job!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏😀

[@MamaTenny]

Thank you and you are obviously doing EVERYTHING right! Kudos to you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I appreciate you watching 😘

[@roger12393]

Loved this video!! Being a vegan you just gave me some new recipes. Thank you.

[@gagirl39]

Mama Tenny you look great and are such an encourgment for post meno. women. Can you do a basic get started video on getting into shape with diet. Your so advanced for a beginner such as me. Can you do a basic starter get in shape/diet video. Thanks.

[@MamaTenny]

That’s a fabulous idea! Thank you!❤

[@allisons635]

Great video! I will be giving all of these recipes a try 😊

[@MamaTenny]

Yay! Thank you Allison!❤️

[@HangryJaks]

This was SO much fun to watch! I LOVE LOVE nutritional yeast (or as we call it, 'nooch'). Tempeh is also a favourite of mine! I like to grate my tempeh to create a 'mince like' texture. With some taco seasoning, it would go so well in that Mexican bowl you made! I even used grated tempeh as the 'rice' in my vegan sushi, it works SO well and everyone wanted the recipe! Thanks Mama Tenny!

[@MamaTenny]

What great tips, thank you!!! You are definitely a pro!🙌🏼😍

[@HangryJaks]

@@MamaTenny too kind 🥹🙏🏻🫶🏻

[@A14BYT]

Being vegan 🌱 for years got some lovely ideas from this video 💕💕💕

[@MamaTenny]

@@A14BYT appreciate that, thank you!💗

[@hclyrics]

Excellent video! 🌱💪💚 I've got a few cheat codes for everyone: 1. Kala namak (a.k.a. black salt) gives a tofu scramble that classic sulfury, eggy taste. 2. Soaking lentils for a few hours before cooking makes for even easier digestion. 3. Rubbing the quinoa together with your hands during rinsing removes bitter saponins. 4. Boiling or steaming tempeh for a few minutes beforehand is a gamechanger for taste and texture.

[@MamaTenny]

Wow, great tips! I'm definitely going to try those! 🌱❤ 🙌🏼

[@sunnygirl5467]

Amazing! That was what I was missing on your channel..🥹🫶great recipes🫛🤗 been vegan for about 5 years and it's amazing. I do it for ethical reasons, but I also believe a wholefood vegan diet is the healthiest diet in most cases🌱🩵 I don't eat sugar, oil, flour and salt too, but personally I don't feel like I'm cutting out something or that I'm missing out..I just love healthy plant foods😊

Hey Kinda late here but just a tip for the next scrambled tofu. Put on some Kala Namak or black salt next time. It has a egg like flavor and will make your scrambled tofu even better

[@MamaTenny]

Thx for the tip!👍🏼

[@hclyrics]

Heck yeah. Kala namak is a game changer for tofu scramble!

[@clarasadomba7187]

Please keep giving us more on this. Love it and so helpful ❤

[@MamaTenny]

Will do! ❤️

[@sublimebeing]

I'm from South Africa and my 1st encounter with Tempeh was in Bali! I did a cooking class and we friied it like fries! Yummy! Also i went vegetarian for 2 days in Bali cause the food was soooo good! Lovely vid as always !

[@jenniferolson5345]

Great video. The recipes look absolutely delicious. The lunch taco bowl looks so yummy. I am going to give that one a try first. I am not vegan or plant based, but I love to try those types of recipes as a way to increase my fiber and veggie intake.

[@CarolCandM]

Loved this! Restaurant quality dishes. 7 year vegan, 64, building muscle with 2 x a week at the gym. Lots of Indian stores and even in Oceans in Mississauga where you can find black salt which is eggy in flavour (but as a finisher as with the nooch ie nutritional yeast)

[@margaretjohnston7320]

That last dish looked like it should be on the cover of an Italian magazine. I have never tried Tempe, but I'll try it. Since I have been eating more plant-based, I feel better. I still eat beef, chicken, etc for supper. Dwayne likes me to eat supper with him. Great video. Nice Will actually liked the bowl.

[@nowanadettling-wx7kg]

I love how you use no name spices because they are budget friendly. This is a great video for anyone interested in heathy eating 😊

[@darkroots64]

I asked ChatGPT to give me a 3 day vegan diet plan. I specifically asked for it to meet the protein goals for my age and weight. And to stay at my daily calorie goal. It gave me a really tasty plan. And the shopping list. Yesterday I had a roasted butternuts squash and black bean bowl that was delicious. I added Mexican inspired spices on my squash cubes before baking. Canned black beans seasoned with salsa. ( ChatGPT suggested sweet potato’s originally, but I don’t really care for them. The squash was on sale at my grocery store, it was the same color, so I figured close enough!

[@MamaTenny]

Hey, that’s fantastic! And definitely close enough on the squash.. you say tomatoe, I say tomato kind of thing 😂 Thx for watching 😘

I'm not vegan but vegetarian and everything here looks absolutely delicious! I cant wait to try all the recipes.

It was bloody good, wasn’t it!😋❤

[@oxanadc]

Tempeh is amazing i love tempeh and seitan over tofu, but tofu it is always my go-to cause it is cheaper i love my vegan bolognese that i've shared on my own youtube channel

[@camillegras6942]

I'm not vegan but I love to try vegan recipes as a way of eating more veggies and discovering new flavors! Also, less meat once in a while is good for the planet, good for my health, good for the animals: what's not to like? I've read combining quinoa and lentils was a good way to get all the kinds of proteins the body needs so the bowl is a really good idea!

[@MamaTenny]

thx Camille, I couldn’t agree more! Try the bowl, you’ll love it! 😍

[@alexism9905]

Thanks so much!💕

[@sayhitoashley]

My favorite tofu is from a Canada-based company called Big Mountain Foods. They have a soy-free tofu made from fava beans and a single block provides 64g protein for only 280 calories (0g carbs, 0g fat)! Definitely try to find that next time!

[@MamaTenny]

I’m definitely going to keep an eye out for that Ashley, thank you! 💗

[@oxanadc]

tofu made of legumes are super good i love them i tried one made of chickpea and that was absolutely delicious

[@jujn4l]

I went through an 8-year period of a spectrum of vegetarian, pescatarian, vegan diets, mostly due to lactose intolerance and probably unfortunately unhealthy restrictive habits. Largely quit while pregnant and diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and actually my lactose intolerance was lessening. There are SO many more yummy and convenient options these days… I still make vegan dishes quite a bit, as I do enjoy them!

[@tamirahstarbuck]

Don't forget the black pepper to help absorb more of the curcumin in the turmeric, Mama Tenny! Looks good!

[@mcurit857]

I have made my own non-dairy yogurt at home using soymilk and probiotics, or a little already made yogurt as a starter. You can drain soy yogurt to thicken it for a greek yogurt. I wonder if the difference is the stabilizers in commercial yogurt. Adding something called Indian black salt, or kala namak to your tofu scramble with add that sulfur flavor that is reminiscent of eggs. All your meals look beautiful by the way :)

[@HighTideSoaps]

I was vegan for around 8 months and raw vegan for one month and it was REALLY hard. Trying to get in enough protein was difficult, finding recipes that were filling without having to eat all day was a challenge, and avoiding vegan foods that are super unhealthy (Oreos and chips and salsa, I'm looking at you) was almost impossible because I was hungry a lot of the time. This was years and years ago, there's so much info about veganism now and it's much more "mainstream" I think.

[@MamaTenny]

Yes, for sure! As this was new for me I wasn’t sure how easily I would find everything but it was very accessible, though bloody expensive!😂 And yes, don’t look into the eyes of the Oreos 😵‍💫🤣

[@oxanadc]

the things is it is all about balance, the extremes are never good i am vegan and love sharing quick, simple and delicious recipes on my youtube channel that aren't expensive especially as a student who has a tight budget and you can definitely do it

[@rachelmckitterick]

Tofu scramble is amazing!! I love Nutritional yeast. I add it to mashed cauliflower with a dash of milk and it's incredible. I naturally love vegan food tho I'm not vegan as I do love my eggs and Greek yoghurt 😊 tho I didn't know there was vegan greek yoghurt! These all look amazing 😍 I think these are one of my fav kind of videos from you. So nice to see Will again! ❤

[@MamaTenny]

Will was so shocked at the vegan Greek yogurt too Rachel! I’ll try the nutritional yeast in the cauliflower, sounds fab!😍

[@rachelmckitterick]

@@MamaTenny ohh it's so good. Well at least I think so. I would love to try the vegan greek yoghurt. All we have in Australia so far is Soy or Coconut for vegan options. I love coconut but greek dairy is my all time fav. Also an excellent source of protein. Ohh and we have Oat Yoghurt too which is alright.

[@thefitnessfoodfairy3389]

This was so fun! Bravo!👏🏻 I always love a good challenge to make high protein recipes 😋 💪🏻 there really are so many vegan protein sources out there! I was dairy-free for like 10 years before I thought I was lactose intolerant, but turns out I'm just SUPER gluten intolerant, so I've been loooving being able to enjoy dairy again for the past few years! ESPECIALLY my Greek yogurt😂😉🤍

Thank you, I am no vegan either but I love new recipes, I watched "pick up limes" blog a lot for that reason - she gives lots of various vegan recipes like edamame and cashew cream soup of potato sweet peas curry with different sauces and spices and you can just amplify them with whatever non-vegan protein you like if you wish. I feel like home watching your videos. Thank you for posting!

[@MamaTenny]

pick up limes has great recipse and also rainbow plat life those are two of my favourite youtubers to get inspiration for my own youtube content

[@heatherknits124]

Thank you for doing this. I can't eat a vegan diet, but I love my veggies. Vegan foods are very normal- people eat and love marmite and vegemite, and peanut butter and jelly is vegan. That yogurt threw me, because it should be thick. Either Agar or konjac would thicken it, but it takes a couple hours. I think you were very successful in your day. The hard part of the vegan diet is protein. The digestibility just isn't there for me. But you did it, and you made delicious meals, too. Thank you for doing this.

[@MamaTenny]

I really appreciate that Heather, thank you, it was a bit out of my wheelhouse!😍

[@oxanadc]

actually protein is not hard, i get plenty of protein from the vegan diet, but know that you dont have to be vegan to enjoy some plant based forward dishes, i love sharing my own recipes on my youtube channel to inspire others to take a more plant base approach not necessairly so they have to be vegan

[@heatherknits124]

@@oxanadc Eating more vegetables is the goal! Getting protein from them is not. Plant protein is difficult for me to digest. I must source my protein from high quality animal sources, or I would soon show signs of malnutrition. But I love going to the farmer's market, buying the biggest carrots I can, spearing them on skewers, and roasting them on an open fire.

Hey Mama Tenny, I love love love your videos! I'm not a vegan but this was very informative! I'm curious to know the protein breakdown for the lunch bowl because 45g of protein for that bowl is crazy! It's hard enough for me to pack that with chicken breast 🙊Thank you for your videos!

[@MamaTenny]

Hi! I’m thrilled you enjoy my videos, thank you! I had to go back and rewatch because I thought, what 45g in lunch, that was dinner! You’re right, Paul, my wonderful husband and editor made a typo there while I was eating with Will. If you watch the wrap up at the end, I say lunch was 20g of protein which makes more sense with the Greek yogurt and the quinoa/lentil blend. Sorry, no magic here to pop that meal up to 45g!🪄😂❤ P.S 45 was for the dinner! That tempe packs a whallop, then the cheese, pasta, pumpkin seeds etc 😘

Ethical vegan for 8 years and I still can’t handle tempeh 😂 but you did an excellent job showing a healthy day of vegan eating. As a bikini athlete I eat plenty of nuts (women need healthy fats, so don’t worry), soy joghurt, protein powders and clean meat alternatives. At 68 kg (51y) I’m currently on 182g of protein. It’s really not hard once you’ve adjusted. 😊
