I’m not a vegan, but I’ve been watching your videos forever Amanda! I just love your energy & everything you get up to ❤

[@AmandaDucks]

Aw thank you so much Michelle, I really appreciate it 🥰

[@tonisharp8747]

I know it sounds cliche but your channel is so soothing and relatable. Love all the recipes and your energy. You should be so proud of your channel ❤

[@ismayshannon]

This vlog with your message reminds me of the podcast days with Kara that every episode you screamed in sic HEALING IS NOT LINEAR! So lovely that you’re your biggest mentor in a way without maybe fully realizing it until now! I think deep down we all can be our biggest mentors sometimes! Lots of love! ❤

[@AmandaDucks]

Oh wow so true, thank you so much for reminding me of this!! 🥰

[@644hoopdancer]

Hi Amanda! Your videos are like curling up all cozy on the couch with a warm cup of tea. I've been following you for several years now and yours is one of my favorite KZbin channels. I love how well balanced your diet is and I'm always getting ideas from your "what I eat videos". One of my biggest struggles with meal prep is all the fresh ingredients needed ahead of time. I would love to see a couple different ideas made from a few key produce items to help reduce waste and the price of groceries.

[@AmandaDucks]

Hello! You are so kind, thank you so very much 🥰 Really appreciate your insight here too and will take note of it for the meal prep video!!

[@ZoeAR97]

30 seconds into this vlog and I already feel calmer ❤

[@AmandaDucks]

🥰❤️

[@kyliemaslen5969]

for the meal prep video, i’d love to see you make something like the lentil walnut mince and use it in several different ways across the week/s. also you just casually building an entire piece of furniture on your own like???

[@AmandaDucks]

Great idea, thank you so much 🥰

[@shrutishingvi]

Honestly your videos are like a warm hug 🥹🫶🏽

[@AmandaDucks]

You are so sweet, thank you 🥰

[@viivi4196]

I feel like I'm always in your comment section like "your cats are so cute!" but damn your orange cat in this video is so adorable

[@AmandaDucks]

Hhaaha he was extra sweet this week 🥰

[@Tess7]

It’s great to see you getting back into your sports You did a great job putting together the island! It looks awesome 😊

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@helena003]

I'd love a video going into a discussion of you journey as a vegan (updated) and what its like when friends or family that used to be vegan are no longer vegan etc.

[@carleymills322]

Love your videos and overall energy Amanda! I am so happy to hear how you are doing and that you are being gentle with yourself. I am on a healing journey myself and it can feel so difficult sometimes like you aren’t getting anywhere, but when we step back the truth is we have come so far. Like you said just takes time. You inspire me so much! Thank you for sharing and for being such a beautiful soul! Sending love and healing energy your way girly! ☮️☀️🎶✨😇🤗🩵

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you so so much, you are very kind 🥰

[@maddip3187]

For the meal prep video, I’d love to see if you had any ideas for a tofu breakfast. Like a scramble but with a unique flavour 😊❤

[@AmandaDucks]

Sounds so good! 🥰

[@Ga0966]

The cake is called an entremets, which literally refers to the layers of mousse, jelly/gel and cake.

[@helena003]

Been watching you for years and your energy and personality just seems so creative and gentle x loving the videos

[@bryonymann4127]

If you haven't read it already, Atomic Habits is a great and really interesting book about building habits. Really lovely vlog to watch ❤

[@PapayaJoy]

Love your island!! Nice job!!

[@rebeccakreusel8687]

Thanks for such amazing thoughts, what a good reminder! Not thinking about things strictly linearly helped me take a deep breath and calm when listening to that! Thanks for sharing 💛

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@beniblumchen4006]

Love your vlogs so much 😊 they are so calming after a long and exhausting day

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you 🥰

[@wietskejanse5951]

Really loved this vlog Amanda, always enjoy seeing and hearing more about your life ❤

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@ruthtarres5353]

hi Amanda! loved the video

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you! This is the recipe I used - cloudykitchen.com/blog/vegan-banana-muffins/ but I doubled the ingredients and used it for 6 x muffins 🥰

[@girlwiththeblackcat]

Oh my gosh can you share the full recipe for those muffins? They look spectacular!

[@gabbz5]

This video made me feel so motivated, I made quinoa waffles and vegan Nutella this morning! Thank you Amanda!! 🫶 I hope you can accomplish all your goals with this new house/kitchen! 💕

[@AmandaDucks]

Aw I'm so glad - wow they sound sooo yummy! How do you make the quinoa waffles? Sounds amazing 🥰

[@gabbz5]

@@AmandaDucks I don’t have a recipe or measurements I just trow a bunch of stuff in the blender and hope for the best 😅, I add quinoa as the base, a little bit of amaranth, chia, flaxseed, cinnamon, ginger and milk. Last time I added stevia for a little sweet, but I want to try with dates or bananas 🤗

[@nila.conzen]

Thank you Amanda. 🦋 Thank you for being - you. 🙏🏼

[@AmandaDucks]

You are so kind, thank you 🥰

[@ursulas3641]

The island bench looks great! 😃

[@seandesmond5560]

Great video, as always wonderful, Ducky!!! 💖 I loved it when Tiger was next to you insisting on pats!!! 🐱

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you Sean! Tiger really wanted to be involved 🥰

[@mariaRD]

Hi Amanda! That raspberry chocolate mousse cake looks amazing, I think in pastry they are also called bombes or also domes so I would search it as mousse bombe/dome, it would be amazing if you can recreate it haha I love the new space, so happy you are feeling inspired, can't wait for all the delicious meals you will cook :)

[@AmandaDucks]

Hello! Oh amazing, thank you for that insight!! Going to try and learn how to recreate ASAP 🥰

[@sarahhendrickson9795]

So impressed with your building skills

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you 🥰

[@laurenpacella]

You got this girly 💓💪🏼 you are strong. P.S house looks unreal!! So much light 🌞

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you my darling 🥰

[@davidthescottishvegan]

A fantastic day in the life of beautiful Amanda vlog and love 🥰 it. Yummy 😋 vegan food. Thanks 👍 for sharing and being an inspiration to your viewers & subscribers. Love ❤ Amanda.

[@AmandaDucks]

Thanks so much David 🥰

[@x_ivaa]

i always feel like im spending time with you when you make vlogs like these. id wish tho hehe but love it and you

[@AmandaDucks]

You are so kind thank you so much 🥰

[@tofuuuluvr]

For meal prep videos- please, please could you make high protein WINTER meals? I always find myself reaching for easy convenient foods and feeling pooey in the winter because I do not know what to make.

[@karen6778]

Just started watching but had to comment that I am loving the amount of cat time in this video so far 😂❤❤ Oh wow you did a great job putting that together. If you have the space buy another one and just put them back to back so you don’t have to worry about paneling the back side. Then you’ll have even more storage and working space. 😘

[@AmandaDucks]

Hahaha they really wanted to be involved this week 🥰 That is a great idea with the kitchen - thank you!

[@paulyvay4152]

Live your videos Amanda! So impressed you were able to put together that island bench by yourself haha. I'm a new vegan and would love to know about the story of how and why you went vegan if you ever address it in a video 🙂

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you! I will do an updated vegan story in a video soon 🥰

[@alanadorris1274]

Love your videos! Always so wholesome ❤

[@AmandaDucks]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@lindsayhudkins9027]

One time I made a cake that looked like that - it used chocolate tofu mousse and combined it with blended soaked cashews and store-bought vegan cream cheese (and obviously other ingredients, but those were the ones that made the texture appear to be like the cake you are eating). It was SO rich, and SO delicious.

[@AmandaDucks]

Oh my gosh - yummy!! Okay I'm going to try and make something like this ASAP, thank you 🥰

[@morganmccoll492]

Hi Amanda, I love your videos! What’s the recipe for the muffins and how did you cut the muffin casings?! They look so yummy! ❤

[@AmandaDucks]

Hey Morgan! Thank you so much 🥰 This is the recipe I followed, but I doubled the recipe and still only made 6 muffins using it - cloudykitchen.com/blog/vegan-banana-muffins/ For the muffin casings, I cut a piece of baking paper about 15cm x 15cm and then cut from the corner down the middle about 10cm along. Then rotate to create a circle and place in the muffin pan. Hope this is helpful, it's a bit hard to explain!! x

[@morganmccoll492]

@@AmandaDucks Thank you so much! I’m going to make some today!! 🥰 ❤️

[@annagrabenhorst314]

For the meal prep video, I’d like more recipes that don’t need like 3 pans and pots, more like as little gadgets as possible. ☺️ I have to clean my dishes by washing them up with my hands and I want to minimize that.

[@AmandaDucks]

Great idea, thank you 🥰

[@catherined1219]

where can i get the recipe for the banana choc muffins? they look delectable 😋 i searched your website and on google but couldn’t find it! x

[@tonisharp8747]

And what was the bakery that you got the vegan chocolate raspberry cake from in brizzy?

[@sunnygirl5467]

❤

[@JessMurfin]

Was the bakery you got the raspberry, choc mousse cake in Brisbane? If so where was it? I so wanna try it, looked delish 😋 p.s kitchen island is perfect!!

[@alyssaadam6]

I struggle with meal prep portions. I usually end up with way to much or not enough. It's hard to predict my hunger and my families

[@AmandaDucks]

Totally understand! I will try and come up with some freezable recipes 🥰

[@christinamillington2342]

Heya Is it like a torte or a flourless cake? It looks the texture to be either. Is the filling like a mousse or denser? Xx it looks amazing tho. Very jealous ❤❤ also, congratulations on building that island. It adds so much to your kitchen space. I would have ended up in tears. Im completely rubbish at diy xx

[@AmandaDucks]

Hello! Hmmm it's like a mousse I would say 🥰 Thank you so much!!

[@debraharding8007]

Is it made out of avocado as the base??

[@AmandaDucks]

Not too sure!! I will have to try and recreate it 🥰

[@jiggabot]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ohleander02]

mousse cake = entreme; ohn-treh-mae. not sure of the spelling.
