i totally don’t care that it’s not 7 consecutive days, you do what’s best for you! i’m watching regardless ✨🤷🏽‍♀️🫶🏾

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@sarahhendrickson9795]

Totally!!! No stress. Also we will never know if they are consecutive or not 😂

[@NyaalaStyles]

@@sarahhendrickson9795 no deadass ✨😂😂how would we know??

[@natalielebert1631]

Your quality of life is super important. If you need to skip a day, do it!! I prefer to see you happy and unstressed.

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@TracyMichelle210]

In regards to extending the your filming to make up for days that you don’t feel like filming, that sounds like a great idea. Really enjoyed this video. It seemed like there was a lot more experimenting/ throwing things together than you’ve done recently and I loved that.

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!! I enjoyed it too because I had more time to play around

[@littlepatrinka7941]

Great video! You have to do what works for you, I can’t imagine having to film every day when you don’t want to. You deserve a break too!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@tranecejoyner]

Your mental health means more to your true ppl than anything! I’m so happy for you and Berto! I enjoyed the video!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Laughing because we don't even use creamer so soy milk and some form of sweetener is it for me every day and I love it 😂

[@hopegold883]

That’s good to know. I drink it black, but if I took sweetener and milk, that’s exactly what I’d do. I thought it was cause I’m stuck in the 80’s.

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

@@hopegold883 nahhh you're totally fine 😚

[@huuuuuugu]

I'll like watching what you eat regardless if the days are consecutive. I always get meal ideas from you!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@anthonyl.cawthornesr.7226]

Rebecca loving your food tours all over NYC and what you eat during the day. Oh looking cute in your glasses😊

[@Rosie-iy2bv]

A hot water vinegar soak with a little detergent overnight should help with the tumeric stains. And putting the milk in before the coffee often stops curdeling😊

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@DoctorRevers]

Tip for the smoothies and protein ice cream - add raw pumpkin seeds after you blend for chewing. Chewing creates the enzyme in your mouth to start digestion and also strengthens your jaw and keeps your teeth healthier etc. Raw pumpkin seeds are loaded with protein and don’t taste bad at all. Not recommending more protein or anything (people be all obsessed with that) but for chewing purposes and more nutrition…

[@bodegacatx]

I tend to like my icecream creamy without lumps but im sure this tip is useful for people who need it! Thanks.

[@MysteriousBeingOfLight]

Your mental health is primordial, do what feels best for you 🙏🏼

[@UsagiMori]

I just started the video but wanted to comment on thank you for always sharing and also doing your own thing! Congratulations also on your new apartment!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you so much!!

[@margarett_b]

I love the fact you made this format suit YOUR life - I enjoy this series a lot and would much rather prefer you to enjoy making it too! The noodle spot - what a futuristic concept! The PUSU's tofu sounds like THE dream tofu - I love fresh tofu (which is fresh on the outside and nearly creamy on the inside) and this sounds like the most flavorful way you could make it! The ninja creamy sounds like one of the nicest investments too - the ice cream really turns out so fluffy, creamy and velvety :D Overall, so so many good eats that week! Thank you for sharing Rebecca!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you so much!

[@donnam2684]

It doesn’t need to be consecutive days, no need to shoot when you don’t feel like it! 💚

I appreciate you!

[@itscarolinemary]

Omg the grilled sunflower 🫢😮 I had no idea you could eat one!

[@melrox8809]

Same 😄

[@EJAro]

Mmmmh your meal preps looked delish this week!!! Yummmmmmm

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@alainadacosta1222]

Lol I typically put soy or oatmilk in my coffee with sugar or maple syrup. I like the vibe of your friend, she seems really chill. Also, I'd never seen someone eat a sunflower, that sounds interesting

[@katieflennery7662]

Of course skip days and thank you for the great content. ❤

Congratulations on the new place 🎉🎉

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

Congrats on your new apartment! The kitchen looks nice. Def trying the frozen protein powder ( vanilla or chai) with powered pb. Thanks. Rest when you need to. We appreciate what you do. ❤

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@mitchellthegirl]

Omg, you’re making free content and sharing your meals/food adventures with us - it’s totally cool that it’s not consecutive! 🫶

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

I just love your videos...Doesn't matter to me . Do what works for you I will watch whatever you do. Do whats good for you : )

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you so much!

[@mellowmorgan]

my go-to smoothie that is so good and cheap. i call it chai blueberry peanutbutter smoothie. to make is: 1 frozen banana, 1 cup frozen blueberries, handful spinach, 1 cup soy milk, 2-3 tablespoons peanut butter, a BUNCH of cinnamon, some ginger, nutmeg, cardamom and clove (if you have it all the spices, but just cinnamon or cinnamon and ginger is good too!), a couple pinches of salt, add water if you need to but I like it THICK.

[@gabriellagrafakos7161]

Why I started sing GUUUURL DINNER when you grilled the sunflower 😂 I definitely wanna try that.

[@bodegacatx]

OMg haha

[@amyp5388]

Yes take those breaks!!! We’d probably never even know lol

[@annegrace7651]

What, You showed us making coffee?! You normally don’t film that, I appreciate you sharing. Thanks ❤

I haven't been on YT in a hot minute but this was my first watch back and I loved it 👍🏼😌 keep bringing these back! Also congrats on the apartment, it's gorgeous 😍🤌🏼

[@bodegacatx]

Welcome back! And thank you so much!

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Becca I haven't told you this but these videos really help me... TW- ED * * * * * * * I still really struggle with food and recognising hunger cues and what is "normal" and allowing myself to eat during the day, but your videos just make me feel less alone and like I'm not weird for certain things. So thank you for putting yourself out there because it means alot ❤

[@bodegacatx]

Awww Im so glad. I never really stuck to food norms like breakfast food or whatever. I tend to eat what im craving just trying to add protein and veg when I can. it makes me feel fulfilled and healthy. One of the reasons I started this series was to show people that eating, especially vegan eating, doesn't have to have alot of weird food rules.

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

@@bodegacatx they are a wonderful consistent reminder for me. ❤️

[@veganmamafourgirls5370]

Love the new kitchen! It looks like a really nice place. Your ice cream is making me want some too :)

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

Whatever is good/best for u we will still watch don't worry! Your well being is the most important! ; )

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@TheFrandall]

Hi~ really enjoy your vids! Don't care whether the days are consecutive or how many days you show. BTW- I love Edensoy soy milk too because the plain is just soybeans and water. However, I found Trader Joe's soy milk is also just soybeans and water and organic and is about half the price! We don't have a Trader Joe's in our town so when I get the chance, I buy at least a case of Trader's soy milk and have it in my pantry.... Congrats on the new place!

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you! I never looked at the trader joes soy milk but I'll check it out next time I go! Is it shelf stable too?

[@melrox8809]

I think you should only film when you're feeling up to it. I really like your videos. I like seeing the new places you eat at & what you eat in a week vlogs.

[@suprememedjai4433]

I don't have the same problem with staining from ceramic pots. I usually empty the pot immediately after using it though and if I don't wash it I rinse it.

[@seciliafeliz]

I say do what works for you! I watch whatever you post either way and we wouldnt even know if it wasnt 7 days in a row! 😊

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@MysteriousBeingOfLight]

Oh Gosh, moving to Europe what I miss most is the Vegan creamers like Silk, they are amazing ! I'm doing my coffee with almond vanilla milk but it just doesn't hit the same 😆

[@bodegacatx]

Im in London right now and I didnt find a single creamer, so sad.

Rebecca, Do whatever makes you feel the best❤I, don't need 7 days in row. If, you aren't feeling your best Mental Health wise! I am glad to see, that you & Berto, are back in an Apartment together ❤ I, saw Berto's recent Video & knew he, was in a New Apartment but I didn't see or hear mention you. So, I am happy to see. You're back where you both belong ❤😘Have a Wonderful day My Sweet Beautiful Younger Sister! Blessings & Love to you both, Piper & Singer a.k.a My Kitty 😾😘❤

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you so much

[@hollyroach3620]

Ooo 1st video in the new apartment! Exciting. :-D Hope the plants are enjoying their new home (-: Filming non consecutive days is fine by me, it still ends up being 7 days and I wouldn't want you to feel obliged filming when you don't really want to. The noodle place looks great and nice to see Sabs in the video. Can't believe you've done over 100 of these videos, but still enjoy them, look forward to the next one (-:

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@kellygrothe]

Your new kitchen looks so nice!!! And each time I see your ice cream creations, I want to buy a creami lol

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you! The kitchen is the best part of the new place

[@essteekay5695]

Great vid as always 😊

[@bodegacatx]

Thanks again!

[@margarett_b]

Also, plant milks (especially high protein ones like soy) curdle when the coffee is too hot (it's like making cheese :D) and the milk too cold!

[@lindsaytoussaint]

I’m a black coffee or just soy milk person. 😅 Also yay on the new apartment! An nyc apartment with dishwasher AND washer/dryer?! Y’all are living the dream!! 😂

[@bodegacatx]

Right?? I do feel spoiled

[@quartztoad]

Congrats on your apartment! I'm so happy to learn Sapporo miso ramen is vegan.

[@wendydavis2442]

The trick to soya milk in coffee is, to put the milk in first or wait until your coffee has cooled a bit then add the soya.

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@sugabay]

🎉 congratulations on your new apartment. U had no idea you eat sunflowers 😮

[@gaylebullock8949]

FYI could be freezer temperature rather than stronger microwave on the ice cream :) I am also obsessed with my protein ice creams in the Creami!! 🤤 (mix with Orgain protein almond milk for extra protein!!)

[@deecohen1383]

Skipping a day is fine. Congrats on the new place! Its so pretty! You have washer/dryer? Jackpot!

[@bodegacatx]

Yessss we feel so spoiled with our washer/dryer

[@erikapauley7391]

Congrats on the new place! Also did you confirm the furikake was vegan at the noodle place? Oftentimes it contains fish flakes!

[@bodegacatx]

It was labeled as vegan

[@Veleanoria]

Congrats on the new apartment!!

Mi Goreng is also vegan. I eat it all the time.

[@isaackeast3377]

Record when you feel like it. The videos always better that way

[@lynnNlouise]

mmm mmm mm Paloma is the OG of drinks like I guess cool cool a martini 😅

[@suecampbell4811]

First, I really like how calm you were in this video - truth be told, I backed away from watching your videos because sometimes you seemed a bit freaked out and it was unsettling to me. So it was super great to see you sharing your life in a calmer way. LOVE your apt and how much you show us in each video so don't shoot videos if you need time away from doing it! We'll wait for your next video - YOU'RE WORTH THE WAIT! Second, you just described Age or Agedashi Tofu. Crsip on the outside (rice flour used) and soft as anything on the inside.

[@deecohen1383]

Agedashi has fish broth in it. Its not vegan

[@bodegacatx]

I wasn't freaked out haha. But now im freaked out that you said I seemed freaked out lol. But I glad you liked this video!

[@suecampbell4811]

@@bodegacatx I just love you! Hey, onward and upward - i started watching you years ago when you did a review of vegan corned beef. You ate it on a stoop - I remember it. Yes, I bought several items that you liked, and it expanded my product awareness - thanks!

[@zombiecow1909]

😂OG Vegan from the 90's, too funny !!!

[@ambers.]

Film however you want, skipping days isn't the end of the world. If you're happy then your viewers will be too.

[@pattiupton1499]

Looks like you have more space now!!

[@bodegacatx]

Same amount of space but more kitchen! Our last place was like 10% kitchen and this place is 80% kitchen haha

[@lenac7655]

Love your videos Rebecca even though I'm not Vegan. Just enjoy watch you and Roberto, and checking out the foods. Watching you makes me wanna get a Ninja Creami...doggoneit!!! 😂 By the way, I can tell you've lost weight...you look great, but you've always been cute😍 Glad you have your new apartment. Can't wait for a tour.

[@bodegacatx]

Thank you!

[@olivia4394]

Good planet cream cheese is so good but hard to find. I agree, oatly was too sweet for me

[@sweet_creature7799]

Hi! I'm just curious: why do you feel the need to mesure (or here, weight) the soy milk in your morning coffee? I'm just wondering how significant it really is (considering that you eat a bunch of non-measured stuff throughout your day) or if it's some sort of compulsion that you do without any reason. I used to measure everything I made at home too, but that was 1000% an ED compulsion. Anyways, I love what you do!!

[@bodegacatx]

Haha I don’t feel a need. But I hate when coffee has too much creamer. Tastes milky. So I usually measure to make sure I’m putting around how I usually like it. Which is usually 2ish tablespoons. Then I taste and put more if I want.

[@andreawalker7138]

It's not 7 consecutive days?! OMG...just kidding. Literally don't care as long as I can still peep what you eat. 👀😁 Thanks!

[@kristinjane19]

[@evandelegeane7596]

Hey....great video....How do you like your ninja Creami?? I've been debating getting one for at least a year!!

[@bodegacatx]

I love it! But only buy one if you see yourself eating alot of ice cream, sorbets or protein icecream. Otherwise, its just another kitchen gadget taking up space, you know?

[@evandelegeane7596]

I totally know...Thank you so much! I'm going to do it.@@bodegacatx

Hey can you please share how n thru what method did you find your new aptmt…? Pls…! Im moving back to NYC next Fall. Ive gotten some tips from other youtubers. Youre an OG NYC gal. Im SURE you have the BEST advice how n where to hunt for apartments.

[@bodegacatx]

My only advice is to keep refreshing all the websites and jump on the ones you like fast. otherwise, someone else will beat you to it. Have all your paperwork ready to go in a moments notice.

[@NyaalaStyles]

congrats on the new apartment ✨🫶🏾 i have a question tho girl…..how do you eat pasta before you workout and not feel lethargic during your workout? are you using protein pasta instead of regular pasta or is it something you eventually get over?

[@bodegacatx]

I do use banza or barilla protein pasta most of the time but even when I use regular pasta, it doesn't make me feel lethargic. I also wait an hour to digest before the gym so maybe that helps? But it could also be a person to person thing.

[@NyaalaStyles]

@@bodegacatx ok thanks, i’m gonna try it! maybe i’m not giving myself enough time to digest

[@Rosie-iy2bv]

You seem to have a protein focud these past few months. Is there a reason, gym, or something? I pay zero attention to protein whatsoever😄 fibre however, highly underrated

[@bodegacatx]

I pay attention to fiber too! It's easy when eating vegan haha. But yes, im also paying attention to protein because I've been lifting really heavy lately.

[@sarahhendrickson9795]

Wait why are you weighing your soy milk in your coffee? Perfect ratio?

[@bodegacatx]

I’m so picky with my coffee. If it tastes too milky, I won’t drink it lol. So I usually measure the creamer to help me put the amount I want. Coffee is sacred lol

Ok makes sense. I mean it is the most essential part of the day, I was worried you were weighing calories 😅

I don’t know about anybody else but I don’t honestly think I’d have any idea if the days were consecutive or not if you never said anything lol. I always assume there is a chance things aren’t actually consecutive in these types of videos because it’s just not always realistic lol

You should be able to press play on the microwave for a 30 second heat. Each additional press adds 30 seconds.

[@Lacant3]

31:09 how can you say you’re vegan and you buy impossible whoppers that are grilled on the same grill as the rest of the meat products at the restaurant I made that mistake before too but i learned to do bette. you’re not vegan if you eat from the same pot that meat was in or from the same grill, think about it.

[@bodegacatx]

Ah ok, can you let me know how buying an impossible whopper that is grilled on the same grill hurts animals please?

[@Lacant3]

I’m with you on that, theres no harm done here. I’m “plant based” for more of spiritual reasons, i don’t want to eat anything that’s an animal or any remnants of it from grills and cookware. See this is why i can’t say i’m vegan, the community has different moral standards than I. Mistakenly I thought you were unaware but it’s definitely me who needs educating on what the vegans represent. I didn’t mean to offend you guys, honestly vegan or “plant based” is better than not, either way i always will support this channel, great inspo.

[@bodegacatx]

Its alright! Im not offended :) Im vegan to cause less harm. And since cross contamination does not cause harm, it still is vegan. (although it can be gross sometimes lol)
