[@judy_gilbert]

You're in CT! Why you in SA? I live in KZN and study in Pretoria. Coming to Gauteng? Love your channel!

[@athllove9908]

Judy-Lee Gilbert wow Judy!! Just read your comment! I hope you are doing good! xx Jojo (exchange haha)

[@elainemc378]

Maddie Lymburner Hi Maddie! Love your channel and following your travels and meal ideas! 🥑 are my loooove since I started watching a couple of years ago! I'm curious to know, do you think the glasses are beneficial? Do they work? I've been thinking of getting them for a while but don't know if they actually live up to what is said! Would love to hear what u think! ❤️☘️

[@h.m.a8374]

My son is 5 and he is vegan ❤ it was his choice too. He loves animals and wants them to never get hurt.

[@MaddieLymburner]

so so cool!!!

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Is the rest of the family vegan?

[@h.m.a8374]

@@kimberlyearly8918 No. It is just him and I. I turned full vegan just recently. My boy has been vegan since before summer.

[@eliorakoe5058]

That's great keep encouraging him

[@kimcote9964]

I just got done doing foster care.. and one of the kids that we adopted went vegan April 3rd of this year.. he was 11 at the time. He is adopted now and turned 12 in August.. it is November 6th today so he been vegan for 7 months. We (as in my husband, my biological son, and myself went vegan almost 3 years ago and we are; me 48, my husband 45 and biological son is 27.) It is amazing. The others have choosen not too. But I do not cook or have anything in my house that is not vegan.. it their choice what they eat out of my house. lol To each their own..ya know. Sometimes the 12 year old complains.. and I tell him.. I never told you to go vegan, I never made you go vegan so if you want it eat it( what ever it was that he wanted or felt it to be unfair he could not have it..I told him he would not allow himself.. it was not me that was not allowing him to eat it.. He said he couldn't .. so I told him to stop complaining then. lol. We talked about why he felt the way he did.. and the reason why he could not and the meaning behind it. He gets it totally, he just think it is weird how the brain works.. I said once you know right from wrong and you do wrong.. you feel some kind of not good way. So that is what guilty and remorse feels like. His awareness has surely grown in the 2 years and 3 months he was with us through foster care. The transition from foster care kid to being adopted by us is difficult at times and so is choosing to go vegan. Just got to have him answer his own questions in a reflection back to him. xo

[@KymAtHome]

I love the little guy. He is 11 and is full of wisdom. He needs a KZbin channel. I've started being a Pescatarian. I'm on my way to becoming Vegetarian Soon. Thank u for ur recipes! Super helpful

[@MaddieLymburner]

Amazing!! And yes isn't that so inspiring!!

[@JoelPlay]

Already got one ^_^

[@ericad3850]

Good luck on your veggie journey!

[@JoelPlay]

Thanks

[@HanneArts]

Oh. my. God. That kid! Incredible!

[@h.m.a8374]

That dog sounded like a new born baby 😂😂

[@imansafeen7395]

Go to Mojo market, Nourishd, The Hungry Herbivore!! Loved those places when i was in Cape Town last December. Missing that place tons.. Also, i am so amazed by that 11 year old activist, so cute!

[@happynessadict]

i make a syrup for my oats and pancakes by blending dates with water and vanilla and then i thicken it up with a bit of arrowroot on the stove let it cool and keep in the fridge for about 2 weeks sometime i add coco and make a chocolate syrup

[@higherlivingwithlaura]

Ooooh I want to try this! Would you mind sharing the quantities with me please?

[@mollyricee]

That mushroom guy is sooooo handsome. I may have to travel just to see him in person 😂😂

[@nicoleg4058]

Molly LaBranche agreed omg

[@kajalpatel2546]

Maddie you and Kyle literally made my day today. I love coming home and putting you on with a snack. The perfect way to relax ahaha

[@bethanytaylor6693]

I’m about halfway done my path of becoming a doctor and you’re always who I watch on my (very rare) study breaks! Thanks for being so inspiring and interesting to watch! Been here since 10k subscribers :)

[@stephaniejarvis4529]

I found some rolled dates that are pumpkin spice flavored! I chop them up and add them to my oats with some chopped apples. Let me tell ya, it literally tastes like a caramel apple 🤤

[@MaddieLymburner]

Omg im dying over here

[@abbiewathen5308]

That kid is amazing! He’s so well spoken, I can’t believe he is only 11, crazy.

[@theplantbaseddoctor3388]

You are such an inspiration🌱💚 Hope to meet you one day!!❤️ Love from Germany 🇩🇪

[@MaddieLymburner]

Aw thank you!! Much love!

[@juliabruno9185]

I saw the video from vegfest and I saw how much you care about your followers. Not just for money but for true passion. Unfortunately now a days everyone becomes youtubers just for sitting and doing practically nothing. Love you and Kyle!❤❤❤

[@MaddieLymburner]

Thank you! Motivated with a purpose ❤️

[@capturedlifestyle-codymeye3422]

Can only imagine how good the day must feel when you eating clean and fueling your body with happiness and GAINS like that! Nicely done @Maddie Lymburner!

[@india-roseg8983]

That kid is just insane, such an inspiration and just a small glimpse into what the future will hopefully look like ❤️ how amazing.

[@shelleyscheepers4977]

I literally live 10min from Plumstead. How cool!

[@MaddieLymburner]

No way!! haha so cool!

[@teenagedreamer14]

Watching while eating a big bowl of oats!!

[@MaddieLymburner]

yaaaaas!!

[@janicekrol8320]

I've been taking Ashwaganda supplement every morning for a couple years now. Don't know how I lived without them before!!! I miss seeing Jack in the kitchen ☹️

[@EMunaBee]

That's great! By the time I heard of it I was/am still on anxiety medication...pretty sure they can't be mixed. I'd love to get off the medication and use that, valerian, mushrooms, more natural things. In the meantime, I like hearing from people who have positive results with these.

[@janicekrol8320]

Emuna Bee luckily I found an amazing doc who believes in natural medicine before prescribing medication. I have very bad panic attacks and Ashwagandha helps to calm the stress that triggers them. I take it with my first glass of water about 30 min before I eat breakfast . 👍🏻

[@MaddieLymburner]

Its only been a few days and I already notice a difference!! The power of plants let me tell ya!

[@sydneysmilesalot]

Maddie Lymburner do you feel calmer?

[@kimcote9964]

can you explain how it has helped you.. what you were dealing with and how it works over time and what does it do for you?

[@ImtiazIsaacs]

I love when you say the stuff are so expensive here, so now I don’t feel broke & know that it actually is expensive

[@jennifergatta6629]

Hey Maddie! Thanks for sharing your day with us! It's great to see you enjoying traveling, food and life! Looking forward to seeing how you both spend your time!

[@christiecoopersellshouses5738]

The world needs more excellent young men like Joel 💕❤️💕 What a beautiful spirit! Keep being amazing, Joel!

[@radiancewithin951]

That market was awesome!! And the clip about the mushroom man giving a hug was rad. Mushrooms are amazing! And that falafel and cake looked so yummy!!

[@faithqueen8525]

Woww that Watermelon 🍉 look amazing

[@MaddieLymburner]

So good! Excited for more this season :)

[@JoelPlay]

It's rare to get good watermelon in Cape Town unless you know we're to go ofc :')

[@florednt7709]

I’m this right nowwww! that not cool aha

[@amberamato916]

Ugghhh your travel videos have inspired me so much to travel! Ive always wanted to but was afraid of language barriers, money differences, etc. but seeing these type of videos helps me see it isn't so scary after all!

[@tenekebotma8772]

i just love it when you say South Africa, and also the way you embrace that you are enjoying your time here. I wish i could've meet you but I am busy with exams and live a bit further away from CapeTown and only being on vacation near CT from the 2nd of December!

[@carmenpotgieter9840]

Welcome to my home town !!! :) Cannot believe you are here. Have you been to Spirit Cafe in Constantia ? Raw and Roxy ? Plant ? ohhh , so many options Xx

[@MaddieLymburner]

Only been here a few days so haven't been everywhere yet! haha but thanks for the recommendations!

[@shaadi2561]

"The earth does not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. All things , all life forms are connected as one " it actually made my day. Such inspiring 😍😍🌱

[@allisonmae3445]

Your videos are always so genuine and fun!! I love watching them. It's stress-relieving and inspiring.

[@juliamierzejewska170]

Amazing! That matket place is outstanding and the people and that awesome kid! And of course Kyle's hair

[@gwenvann7279]

Kyle is hilarious acting like a bird!

[@MaddieLymburner]

I think he makes a great rooster 😂😂

[@michaelalawrence7204]

I nearly collapsed when I heard that you and Kyle were in Cape Town South Africa!! It's my home country and I know you'll love it! Highly recommend coming to see Hermanus (an hour and a half away from Cape Town) beautiful little town. I loved hearing you pronounce our local shop's names. Can't wait to see what else you discover and experience xox

[@michilinde99]

Great video! I was in Cape Town two years ago. You have to visit the Botanical Garden in Stellenbosch! It's beatiful there and now, that there is the sommer comming, there should be flowers.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

Wow! That market was like a mini veg-fest!! That 11yr old boy was awesome!! Beets taste like dirt! I tried juicing just a tiny piece in my juice once and it took everything in me to get it down! I think I’ve read in the past that they are good blood purifiers. Not sure though.

[@emilystorck9560]

I used to hate beets too and then one day I had a juice with beets and oranges and now I love them lol. So keep trying

[@lindseyw1983]

The 11 yr old kid was amazing and so inspiring. Brilliant!

[@squatforpancakes3048]

Loved this video! I am from Cape Town and it's so amazing to see the place from a tourists eyes. Quick tip - Checkers has a vegan range called Linda McCartney. They have the best red onion sausages! Have an amazing trip!

[@xhangingbyathreadx]

All those goodies at the market looked amazing! I live in an area with very few vegans but you have inspired me to take that step and I'm on my 4th day of being vegan! I already feel better and I'm so much happier. Thank you for your videos and inspiration! 💞

[@gardoyle9616]

I love this video so much, seeing all the kids and the people and getting to hear from them and their knowledge. and you guys just look so happy :)

[@lovely87ym]

I love seen you both! You guys are so adorable together. I’m really loving your videos girl keep inspiring!

[@MaddieLymburner]

Thank you so much!!

[@namasteayla]

so good to see some local south african vegans spreading their love and light

[@mrslineibez]

Im so glad you had a good time at the market! Hopefully youre here for the next one too

[@theatheistpaladin]

Vegan since five?!?! *Head explodes*

[@MaddieLymburner]

right!

[@JoelPlay]

:D

[@quavergonzalez4710]

I remember when I was little about that age refusing to eat meat because I thought it was cruel. My family tricked me into eating it and it's only as an adult I'm removing it from my diet.

[@Jaisee14]

So you and Kyle love chasing the *"Summer"* and I'm a *"Autumn~Winter Girl"* who *wishes* I could chase the *"Autumn~Winter Seasons"* . *I love the mountains* and the *changing of the leaves along with the snow* . *love love love wearing sweaters* and *scarves* . I know I know I"m weird but I march to a different tune.

[@laurisasingh1011]

Love that you guys are finally visiting CT , welcome to SA...

[@serisingh]

I use apple sauce and berries to sweeten my oatmeal and now actually prefer my oats to be less sweet than I used to.

[@beatriceopacka396]

That's how I like my beets: add 1 minced onion to a pan, add 2 shredded cooked beetroots, add 1 shredded apple, and add apple cider vinegar. Then, season it with salt and pepper. Lately, I've been eating it with pumpkin! Yummy, yummy in my tummy!

[@gardoyle9616]

You guys have such great pure hearts

[@alaahusain9911]

MADSSSSS U R GOALS LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU! could u do a what i eat in a day "middle eastern inspired"

[@mckennalaine]

all that food looked SO GOOD !!! and that boy though awww!! he is so sweet and down to earth i love it! hope y'all are having an amazing time so far🤩😌💗

[@jodiemouton2070]

The Almond milk from Dis-Chem (its a pharmacy with an amazing health food section - I think there is one near you) is quite a bit cheaper, maybe have a look there, that's where we get ours. The have oat milk too!

[@MaddieLymburner]

omg yesssss thank you!

[@nowheretamara]

The girl that offered you to take you to the markets!!! How lovely is that!?? That is what I love Instagram for 😍❤❤

[@Phyto_Chemicals]

The lines you're seeing are your camera's reaction to the black and white tiles in this kitchen. High contrast color patterns (especially checked patterns and stripped ones) do that.

[@andyandrejka8414]

I understand you with the beets, I have the same feeling with celery. I don’t like it, but I try to. So I am eating it even if I don’t like it. And I hope that my opinion will change 👌🏻

[@pryormaceachran7985]

A way that I love to add flavor to my oats is with mashed banana, some peanut butter, and cinnamon!

[@jennschrader9345]

South Africa seems amazing! So happy for you guys👌🏻😊

[@brookefrancis9271]

that kid is awesome!! what an inspiration.

[@kasiulade]

You need to try eating beets like we do in Poland. You cook them then wait till they are cold and make a salad out of them(we usually grate them)and add bit of lemon juice, pepper, salt, sugar, and bit of chopped onion. This way you don’t taste the earthy flavor.

[@MarieGem]

yes, we do the same in Croatia

[@nikkicupido]

Hey Maddie :) Definitely go to Wellness Warehouse if you haven't already. It's a health food store, you will find everything that you need, it's my favorite place! Go to the one in Kloof street. You can also buy online. Enjoy your stay here, it's a beautiful friendly city! 😊

[@MaddieLymburner]

Thank you!

[@nikkicupido]

Maddie Lymburner you're welcome!

[@JoelPlay]

Yeah it's awesome there

[@purllow182]

Love Maddie counting down to the 1st bite! Too funny!

[@MaddieLymburner]

😂

[@ReginaLynnavatar]

OH my GAWD, that little boy I SOOO CUUUUTE! I am DEFINITELY inspired !💖💖💖🤗😘😘💞

[@LilNinja787]

Loved this vid! Also very appreciative of how consistent you are with your posts. Always love to watch your videos weekly! :)

[@ellebeus4329]

I’ve been watching so many of your videos lately and I love them! I’ve been eating oats way more often and doing your at home workout videos!

[@JoelPlay]

Lit

[@dar1apop]

Yay! Cape Town is on my bucket list 😍😍 And I'm so happy you're there! I wish you the best time!

[@MaddieLymburner]

Thank you!! It's amazing so far!

[@SilkeDewulfTV]

Kyle is such a goofball! I also never really liked beets, only when they are juiced I can stomach them. But they are so good for you so maybe I just start sneaking them into my regular meals as well! ❤️

[@EvolutionofMasha]

Wow market goals! Also that made me so happy to see that kiddie activist. Future looks promising.

[@justina6948]

Ohh,your vlogs make me wanna visit South Africa soooo badly😍 These people seem to be so nice and friendly,and this part with kids in the playground (and with the 11yo vegan) was so cute ❤️And I'm also pretty sure that the views in Cape Town are BREATHTAKING 😍 I wanna go there now! 😂

[@alexstankiewicz958]

Haha you guys are hilarious!! Truly!! I love your videos very much but the parts when you show the bits about where you're staying, all these amazing places in the world are one of my favorite!! I have a long list of places I would love to go in the years to come but now thanks to you Cape Town has been added as well!! So happy to know that you and Kyle are having a great time, can't wait to watch what you're up to next, much love :) :)

[@fr2120]

Im in LOVE with your videos!! You deserve more views!!!!!!! So good❤️👌🏼

[@aprilmarie1396]

Kyle said to the lady he needs gluten to survive 😂😂😂😂😂😂💪 epic video guys the kids in this are so great 💙💕

[@veganmentaliron1750]

Yay bird Kyle! Haha I have a parrot so that moment was special for me. Love you guys, you are the cutest. See that world 🌍💕

[@eni2912]

Watching your videos and eating oatmeal is the best way to start the morninh

[@elisabeth7738]

Wow, the colour of this watermelon 🍉 is so magnificent 💓

[@ElenaIoanfruity]

Maddie! Have you ever cooked plantains babanas? You should definitliy try!! My boyfriend comes from Martinique, and he often eats them together with ignams (the white flesh ownes). For the plantains, he just cooks them in a little bit of water in the pot, covered with the lide for a few minutes. It's delicious on its own, or with a little bit of salt. When he eats them together with ignams, he likes to mix an avocado and some garlic. :) Have a great day!

[@tee-kc2zf]

I never get tired of your channel ❤❤❤

[@ambermeyer602]

The painting in your room is a copying of the blue nude by Henry mattisse if you were wondering 😂

[@PaulineIsAwesome1]

Another amazing video ! Thank you for your work Maddie !! Love from france 😘

[@nowheretamara]

Can't believe this little kid is 11 and has been vegan for 6 years 😍😍😍😍😍 beautiful

[@JoelPlay]

:)

[@nabeelahazad6126]

I’m from Cape Town and I’d definitely recommend eating at ‘Lekker Vegan’. It is amazing. I do hope you enjoy your stay over here😊.

[@alona4970]

Meddie I must say that you are amazing! I love your vlogs thay are very inspired me to eat well 😊 because of your videos I really start loving oatmeal, and making a new combination So thank you 🙂

[@theodee7313]

I'm eating a bowl of banana,coconut & hazelnut butter oatmeal while watching this! Love it.

[@laceyb.6617]

I don't like beets either lol. However, I will drink beet juice (not straight up, must be blended with other juices).

[@richjtg]

The lines on your video are due to the differing electricity supply in S Africa - 50Hz opposed to 60Hz in Canada - which causes the strobing effect under artificial lights. There will be a setting on your camera to compensate.

[@mwc1618]

Agreed with what Rich said. Also, you may find that you're under fluorescent lighting when the lines appear. A move to incandescent lighting, or to sunshine, should help.

[@adinarus7612]

I love you Maddie 😍 You are amaizing,i like the way you explain everything about the good,vegan food🌱 You are such an inspiration to me ❤️ Have a great time 🤗

[@amandajohnsonjourney3150]

Uhhhh..I love yall sooo much!!!💖...yall are just pure people..Thanks for sharing you're life with us!!😄

[@22.maitelpz]

Hello Maddie! I eat grated carrot and beet salad, that makes the difference!

[@daphnecharles9977]

I liiiiived off Frys vegan nuggets when I lived in Cape Town. So yummy, i want some now 😍👌

[@deeplytrulyelisa]

You should try eating roasted beets with some olive oil and lots of garlic (I usually mince raw garlic really fine and mix it up like that once they are cooked)!! Not amazing for your breath but sooooo good!!!

[@jessicaaaa349]

I also like to use applesauce as a sweetener to oats it makes it taste soo good. 😊

[@daniellegerber4145]

Ah can't wait to meet you at one of the meetups. Can't believe you're in ZAR 😍

[@MaddieLymburner]

Yaaay!

[@phoenixcatspacelion]

Omigosh that puppy!!!so adorable!!! :)

[@jaimemcgown3349]

This is so exciting!! Loving these vlogs xx

[@MaddieLymburner]

Aw thank you! ❤️

[@madelinedwight]

Maddie you should try roasted beets! They are so good and taste amazing.

[@chiarab9345]

I don't really like beets as well. But I do like them when I make beet-mushroom burgers or beet hummus. you can find some recipes online or even come up with something like that yourself. I'm sure you'll like them after trying those recipes 😊❤

[@MaddieLymburner]

Yeah I like beets in hummus as well and have a recipe for it in my first cookbook :)

[@jokerandcharlie]

another great video, big thumbs-up from me

[@jregnard1233]

Hi Madie!! You make me so jealous in your video! I used to live in Cape Town for a year a half, I love this place so much, it has such a special place in my heart!

[@caroruiz394]

I've just found your videos and love them :D

[@GreenWildLiving]

That little boy is woke af. 😊 Incredible and lovely at the same time! 👍

[@morgancirbo3944]

That little boy is going to go places for sure

[@romansarkisov9249]

I like the Led Zeppelin shirt you were wearing at the beginning of this vid. They’re one of my favorite bands. Great video overall though!

[@mollyricee]

I’ve been making date paste in bulk to add to oats! It lasts you a while and you don’t have to make it every day. I prefer to put it in while my oats are still cooking. :D
