What does Esther Eat??

[@AnnaSaccone]

Wow, you eat super healthy! I love veggies and pretty much everything you mentioned but I could never give up milk :) Thanks so much for doing this video Esther! Also, I love your green sweater dress, very pretty :)

[@topshartk1774]

Thank you for sharing your diet! I wonder if you have updated it in the last few years with so many more options available in shops.

[@irenestuartbrooks766]

I eat almost the same! except with the juices, I only add 2 fruits mostly banana and blueberries And I will add Maca powder. Fish- salmon and Tuna and grass fed beef and vegies galore, especially green leafy, Love you videos especially the relaxation at night and warm up in the morning. Thank you

[@ninjasurf1733]

irene stuart brooks don’t eat beef don’t eat meat

[@yogeasy_com]

Yes he is getting great at it, isn't he! I like cake too, think I forgot to mention that :) I try and eat it with spelt four though, but if the cake is really yummy, things get difficult....

[@ELECTRAfied26]

I love this! I lost over 30 lbs on a similar diet and following your beginner's yoga last year! Unfortunately, due to significant life changes, I've yo-yoed, and am back to square one. This is such an inspiration to get back to basics! Thanks Esther!

[@My2Cents1]

Ester, your accent is lovely. I listen to your guided relaxation and/or chakra meditation every night or I can't fall asleep. Thank you for posting

[@ShaneM686]

Your diet is phenomenal Esther. It shows too. Your skin glows and you are very lean.

[@urpicoya]

Dear Esther, I am glad you like quinoa!! I was so happy to hear that your mentioned that quinoa is from PERU. I am from Peru and I love your videos. You have to try also yacon with your juices, shacha inchi oil with your salads and prepare a drink with purple corn (chicha morada). Please dont forget to make a video of movement sequences to releave SI joint pain. Love your videos!!

[@Blair62]

The six basic food groups: Potatoes, Corn Meal, Beans, Rice (Whole Grains), Oats, Pumpkin (Winter Squash). Dairy yogurt is made from milk.

[@tamihai]

thanks for posting Esther.

[@jlandles]

I love Esther. What a beautiful personality. I really appreciated this vid.

[@TheBouba2000]

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu so much you changed my life with your advice you're a real inspiration for me wish you the best and thank you again esther

[@arcticredrose]

Vegetarian kitchen. I eat the same things, plus eggs. I love whole milk and kefir. Occasional meat as well. Nuts aren't the same as meat. Vegetarians have to eat a huge variety of plant foods to stay healthy. Also, I heard somewhere that juices are like drugs. they have a lot of super concentrated substances. Ideally, you should have that fiber from the veggies added back to the juice. Or better yet, just eat them whole.

[@retth1]

Lovely kitchen and healthy living. Esther is the best!

[@angimation]

I was a long time thinking about a change in life, but always need someone to kick my ass....I am sure you kicked my ass, you are very inspiring! Thx

[@savithababu]

Your videos are quite helpful and i follow it everyday... Nice to know about ur diet too.. Thanks so much :)

[@SofijaVitun]

Dag Ester, Waar kan je dat almondmelk verkrijgen? Ik had er nog noooit over gehoord! Denk dat dat perfect gaat zijn om eindelijk musli of cornflakes als ontbijt voor mezelf - kon dit eerder niet omdat ik niet van melk hou. Bedankt voor je video's! Sofija

[@tgooding]

Thank you for sharing. It was very informative, made me want to eat more healthy and it looked tasty too :)

[@sewinghippie]

thank you for inspiring me to keep up my healthy regimen! Sometimes it gets tough to resist things like soda, but then I think about my rice and fruits and veggie dishes and i forget about sugary nonsense.

[@MissMatania]

ur kitchen design is sooo lovely and beautiful@!!@

[@yogeasy_com]

I use lots of herbs, fresh if possible, parsley,basil, thyme, rosemary, cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, curry, cayenne pepper, saffron. I ate meat very seldom, and organic in the past, now I don't like it so much anymore. I also believe the meat industry isn't great and it can't be healthy that way!

[@reemai83]

Hello Esther! Thank you so much for sharing your diet with us ^_^ I do consume lots of vegetables and fruits as well. However, I love regular cow milk... I'm wondering whether you just do not like its taste or you believe it is unhealthy? would appreciate your response to this. Thank you!

[@irenestuartbrooks766]

cow's milk in my opinion is not for human stomachs. Almond and oat are delicious and can be made at home quite easily. recommend you try !

[@OBLIVIOUSavior]

from a viewer's perspective, i think it's important to say that one shouldn't change their diet like this overnight or because they want to lose weight. Esther's diet comes from a passion of being healthy which has evolved over a lifetime to where she's at right now. for those of us who have only recently begun to try and be more healthy, it must be taken in steps and with patience so as not to be an overwhelming and alienating sort of change.

[@My2Cents1]

I've switchef to almond milk. Tasted weird at first, but now I like it. It actually quenches thirst, unlike regular milk. The only time I need real milk is for my EarlGray tea. No breakfast without it... Otherwise, thank you Esther.

[@gensways]

thanks for sharing!

[@NunofAthos]

Continued!!! I started getting huge acne spots like I haven't had since before I went on Roaccutane, a very strong prescription-only acne drug, 6 years ago. As soon as I switched back to Oatly oat milk, my skin started to go down. I've sinced looked into the links and found it's a common issue because of the hardcore synthetic hormones pumped into our cows in the West to make them yield more milk. Thought I'd share that with you!

[@wlcice]

Hello Esther! Thank you for showing us your kitchen and your eating habits. I was very happy to see that I have the same juicer ;) I try to follow more or less the same rules. The only thing that bothers me is - I drink a lot of cow milk. You seem to be strictly against it. Can you share your wise opinion about cow milk with me, please! It would be very appreciated! Anyway, thank you! I´m quite a fit person but a total yoga beginner and your videos are always so helpful! Thank you! Kate

[@lollapalooza18]

I see you have Yogi tea and Clipper tea! Great taste, Eshter! I really enjoy the green tea "Green Power" and "Himalaya" by the Yogi tea :)

[@chadleyb79]

Wow.. that edit was really funny! great to see you poke fun at yourself.. Yea the best thing many people could do is switch to hemp, rice, or nut milks, but UNSWEETENED versions.. I use Almond Breeze and it is awesome. Regular milk tastes and smells like it was excreted from a farm animal topped off with a little puss.. oh wait, it is. Good call on the Quinoa, sounds like "Keen-wa" actually, but anyway werks ;) Maple syrup is a favorite, but I use medjool date paste for sweetening now

[@retrogrxss]

maple syrup!

[@Heartlessiceboy]

Esther you are the best !! :)

[@tube4625]

yes blender can work too but then you need a sieve to seperate the juice from the pulp and you need plenty of time and patience to watch the juice dropping out of the sieve into your glass; lol in about an hour should fill the you may have a full glass of juice ready to drink. if u work i suggest after blending you take the blender; sieve and drinking glass and set it up on the passenger seat of your car; by the time you reach your office; juice should be ready; cheers

[@song4mozart]

What brand vitamins do you use? I am in the U.S., so I realize we may not have the same brands here, but would you recommend a good brand? Thank you!

[@njm121]

Thank you for sharing your very healthy eating habits:)

[@GrammyGinger]

Thanks for the tour. Nearly four years ago, I changed diet for health reasons. I eat similarly to you except no animal products at all, ever. It has taken awhile, but I am getting healthier. Even my grey hair is disappearing. The secret is in the greens and quinoa is absolutely delicious in place of rice. Still dream of pizza and pastry but don't indulge.

[@irenestuartbrooks766]

Really is that true that your grey hair is disappearing ?

[@sk8rgrlteen]

the only thing I have regularly that she has is the almond milk. i love it more than regular milk. I also have a few teas but i always put sugar and honey and lemon in it. I also love special k's new low fat granola.

[@mariewynn1655]

Thanks for that insight. I changed my diet almost a year ago very similar to what you are showing. (lost about 60lbs) Every now and then I try to go back to eating things like pizza, meat and cheese. It is great going down but then my body reacts horribly to it and then I have to get back on track with the vegetarian style of eating. And really it is great, you throw out all that garbage and just eat a lot of wonderful foods, like berries, nuts, fruit, vegies. Mind and body!!!!

[@TheMrAriesmndstmltr]

Hi Esther, I have a quick question, I can't find an organic store here that sells organic fruits & vegetables, & even the stores I go to have a low variety, do you have any alternative suggestions that can help, it'll be greatly appreciated.... Thanks a bunch :-)

[@BambiLena666]

yes but what if u eat 'homemade' meat and coocked without oil? also with milk? bcs this is how i eat it... and i do believe that meat is also important for ur nutrition, as well as milk.

[@campirebat]

I love how you pronounce Quinoa phonetically. I've always heard it pronounced like "Keen-Wah", but "Keen-oh-ah" makes more sense;)

[@mylesferguson9052]

Brilliant

[@NunofAthos]

You mention Oat Milk - I started using this a couple of years ago because cow's milk was giving me catarrh (not a particularly huge amount, but I'm an opera singer so highly aware of it). Anyway, about a year ago, I ran out and hadn't ordered any online, so I just went back to normal milk for a bit (I'm allergic to soya). Well, within a few weeks, my skin went crazy.

[@Potetly]

I got a kidney stone after eating a lot of celery. I love the vegetable, but now I will have to keep it in check. As for celery juice, I'm not sure...

[@Meeratrivedi]

Not the juice but my husband use to eat cellary may be one stalk every day. He has kidney stones of 8 mm and one of the person I met he has 1.6 cm kidney stone. The common denominator was cellary. I googled oxlate rich food and in that I found Cellary is one of the biggest. Oxalate combines with calcium and forms Calcium Oxalate monohydrate and Calcium Oxalate dihydrate stones in Kidney. But it is necessary to drink 4 liters of fluid every day. What will you advice me for the cellary juice.

[@justwanttruth]

i would love to eat like this. i just think the tastes would be awful. what kind of spices do you add to your food? or do you just eat everything plain? do you not eat meat because you dont like the taste or because you think its unhealthy?

[@capcom101you]

very nice

[@jennarentz]

if your american its zucchini but i think in the uk and its courgette. and shes in ireland. funny how things like that are different xo

[@saturneno3777]

Question; why not Cows milk? Personally I hate cows milk can not bring myself to drink it, but I was wondering is it just the taste you dislike or is there another reason?

[@beccahday]

thank you so much, and your kitchen is bright and beautiful! i love how you have it organized. i just wanted to let you know that quinoa is pronounced like keen-wah. :) thanks for all the great yoga/health videos.

[@UndefeatedArmy09]

Nice Kitchen & very healthy diet.Its hard to motivate yourself to eat healthy :(

[@Nibbit]

If that green sliced vegetable was courgette, the english word is zucchini :). Very delicious and healthy!

[@wermorthanthis01]

@NunofAthos i absolutely have the same problem..started been allergic to cows milk a few years ago..went to goats milk and all is well..it gave me huge painful lumps on my face and jaw line...and yet the doctors say its not possible..but i know what my body told me when i experimented with cows milk again..no way hozaay!!

[@EGC316]

That's a cool juicer!

[@TheGuardianCore]

Do you find this type of health lifestyle to be more expensive or less expensive, than a bad one?

[@nixichixi85]

i love rachels to! y favs the greapfruit one XD

[@yogeasy_com]

mnm's,... just not too often : )

[@AmberDawnMcguire]

i love your FOOD! :)

[@mgotl1230]

where are you from?????????

[@ranchrach]

What juicer is that??!

[@evemtz1998]

3:57 lol the way they slow motioned it. She cute. :)

[@techfolktale]

More eating vids please!

[@tsamb7777]

Ooooh - I Love you're kitchen! Some great ideas there XD

[@DimitrixLykaios]

I love teas and fruits! And while Veggies aren't my favorite thing, I still eat them! :D Your kitchen is so tidy and neat and just lovely!

[@forlisa911]

I'm so glad she thought to share this. It is inspiring to see a 100% kitchen. We are at like 50%. The family loves Almond Milk and Soy Milk (in moderation) and Rice Milk. Regular milk is grossing me out once I heard of puss from wounded cow teats just going into the milk supply and the farmers (machines) not caring about that. Yuck.

[@__kichigaihime__]

i think you will live a long time with this diet ^_^

[@Nibbit]

@jea740 Maple syrup comes from trees that live hundreds of years. It's the most organic, healthy, and delicious in comparison to all of the rendered down syrups :). That is why its more expensive. In this case, you get what you pay for. It's lovely and healthy. Ofc, too much of anything is bad for you. But it's the healthier of choices.

[@YourNewGod123]

What do you eat when you want mnm's?

[@humairamehmood7299]

Waow great

[@sahara7]

After watching this, I went to market and i bought all food you have!! all organic which cost hell alot! Am Happy with my good food :)

[@Cidolem]

@1965parkvic You should maybe do a little research about the meat and dairy industry and how it affects our bodies and environment. It is quite bad though if one is to eat such things it's true moderation is best. And a vegan diet/life style can be super tasty and one can still indulge in "unhealthy" treats that don't involve dairy or meat. In fact the energy, health and overall well being of a person on a vegan diet (when it's done right of course) makes life all that more enjoyable :]

[@annamaga]

You and I enjoy very similar foods, Esther! ; ) Thank you so much for posting this ["What does Esther eat?"] video.

[@Paul.Morgan]

It's nice to see that big lump of chedder cheese in your fridge too, Esther! A little bit of saturated fat is good!

[@TheGuardianCore]

@wermorthanthis01 Pft. Doctors saying 'it's not possible' unfortunately doesn't mean much anymore. I was told my allergy to aspirin was 'impossible', turns out it was an immune issue and now it doesn't have any negative effects. My mother was told she would never walk again after a surgery and now she jogs every morning. My uncle had a wart consuming his entire leg ( He looked as if he did not have a knee at all ). Doctors couldn't do anything for him, but, my diet change for him killed it out.

[@ateks1]

I eat really similar to you. its a good feeling eating good and exercising.

[@schelvispekel]

I don't recognize half these foodstuffs....

[@Angie030689]

it's called QUINUA with U, not quinoa..

[@abbeyhilary]

you are soooooo pretty! all that healthy food just radiates from you!

[@darklyclad]

we choose what we will. . . to our own liking. . . nothing is the matter with eating no animal products at all for that matter.

[@urpicoya]

I wrote a message I think i lost it : (

[@k8ddid]

What about tofu? in ur miso soup maybe?

[@Ginatron]

@Angie030689 It's spelled that way, its just pronounced with the "u" sound.

[@Vivalarachie]

@1965parkvic I liked this video, but I definitely agree with you. I simply do not function properly without meat and dairy, especially raw milk. Everyone's different and should listen to their bodies. Esther's diet is perfect for her and our diets work best for us. I'm glad that she felt comfortable sharing the contents of her fridge and cupboards, as I'm always fascinated by what people choose to eat. So... yeah. Good comment :-)

[@StephanielovesKeane]

She is not the only person living in that house..

[@consciouscommunication]

you're so great;-)

[@BirdOnAHarp]

LOL--zucchini squash!

[@oshry121]

she so lovely

[@BigDoodles]

Hmm, I can't seem to show a sarcastic tone in text. XD

[@mbrown1219]

I felt like I was in my own kitchen! We are on the right track!

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Wow, a yoga instructor that only eats organic and doesn't eat meat? What an absolute shocker :)

[@christineharrelson4831]

I feel like I am one of the few yoga instructors (I also practice 6 days a week) that eats meat. I do not eat wheat EVER and stay away from simple starches/sugars, as well. But meat (as natural as I can afford) and lots of veggies, some fruits, and I love my dairy in the form of yogurt and cheese. Cheers!

[@lamegalectora]

She says she DOES eat meat, although 'not a lot' (although I would say any amount of flesh eating is too much)

[@justwanttruth]

@1965parkvic i know! i dont see how i can get ANY enjoyment out of eating like this.

[@7hkey]

well, that's a vegetarian diet too ;D

[@AnimeCookie321]

i'm the kind that's only into fruits :)

[@nixichixi85]

how do you survive? no pizza? pie? gurrrl....i envy your will power.

[@teddybear2cn]

I don't like broccoli. Broccoli are gross.

[@paulam5864]

Food morality is getting really tired. Who cares what she eats? Isabelle Foxen Duke- check her out-

[@BigDoodles]

Coke and potato chips for me.

[@Ginjerbradman508]

this seems very unhealthy and unbalanced diet could lead to future problems

[@lamegalectora]

You eat animals?!!! And what about AHIMSA?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!
