What I Eat in a Day as a Vegan #1

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I hope you liked my little what I eat in a day video! I had so much fun making it. What's your favourite drink order?

[@sedefas6481]

Sam was it nut meg or cacoa powder you put on your coffee you look so vibrant and healthy thanks for being creative and teaching,

[@savannahandstuff]

I found your blog randomly from searching for vegan recipes, which lead me to your youtube channel. Please make more vegan videos! I absolutely love your energy and your recipes are so approachable. Also, hope the date went went well hahaha x

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+savannahandstuff Aww shucks!!! Thank you!! I am pretty swamped with cookbook writing right now, but will post another one soon! Once the cookbook is done, I am hoping to post a new video weekly :) As for the date, it did go well, but not well enough. Alas, I am still single. Haha

[@meghansveganadventures2085]

Gin and Tonic all the way! Classic, not fussy, always refreshing!

[@draculafruitbat4643]

Just found your channel, I love the way you talk. You sound so positive and happy. Keep it that way!

[@bonilamson2309]

I had an Impossible Burger when I was in NYC. LOVED IT! And a kale salad with walnut dressing... I wish I had the recipe for dressing... I would put it on everything!

[@AbbeysKitchen]

You're adorable! Thanks for sharing!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Abbey Sharp (Abbey's Kitchen) Aww shucks, thank you!

[@Thevietvegan]

Love this, Sam! I always love that you're aiming to debunk the idea that vegans eat only veggies and smoothies =)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+TheVietVegan Aww thanks Lisa!!! So fun to see you on KZbin as well. A whole new world for us bloggers :)

[@onedandylion]

Loved this! You have a great style and humour! Looking forward to more videos when your cookbook is all done... then I'll look forward to that! :)

[@amys.5619]

I like to eat a few dates with a little snick of almond butter. It's a nice breakfast when you don't want to cook. The wrap looks very good.

[@FyukYiu]

I would like to fly to Toronto and have lunch with you. Then, do a cook off!!! You're the best!!!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Hahaha! Well, thank you so very much! :)

[@telepathicbutterfly8855]

You are not only entertaining and provide delicious recipes but you are also an amazing and easy to understand teacher. This was really helpful as I tend to panic at the grocery store and grab a loaf of bed and be on my way :) If I might ask, what is the espresso machine you use? I am so close to just getting one because my body prefers it so much over regular coffee. I end up rushing and buying one before work most days. xo

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Jennifer Bushee Wow thank you so much Jennifer! I didn't even realize I was teaching. Haha, funny. If you panic at the grocery, my go to would be to grab an array of veggies that you could use for many dishes (such as the ones in my wrap), some beans, some grains such as rice, pasta, and bread, fruit and nuts for snacking, and you should be pretty good to go! Also helps if you know what recipes you want to make :) The espresso machine is a Breville, I think my particular model is no longer available, but this one is pretty similar: www.breville.ca/die-cast-espresso-machine-800esxl.html I got it on sale. I love it. It is the best home espresso machine I have come across for making a crema. My only complaint is that if you want to make an americano the water isn't very hot. I rarely have them, and when I do, I just boil some water to pour in instead. Maybe that is fixed in the newer models. A great investment in my opinion!!

[@LizzieVioletsLair]

Loving all your videos and the blog! Can't wait for the book!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Lizzie Violet Yay!! Thank you! I can't wait either :)

[@lollipop3336]

What a cute video! I love your positive vibes. I am still a minor, and I'm the only vegan in my family. I'm excited for the day when I can open my fridge and have only vegan items to choose from :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Lollipop Thank you so much!! It is a great feeling to have an entirely vegan kitchen. I'm excited for you too. :)

[@vanessagc209]

Yey! It's cool to watch you now. I have been following your blog a while ago and I love it. I'm gonna stay tuned for every time you upload a video. 💖

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Vanessa Gc So happy you are enjoying :) I plan to post a new video every week, but I am not going to guarantee that as writing the cookbook is eating up all my time. (Pun intended) ;)

[@lcorvette]

I’m so glad I found you! I love all your recipes! This video is five years ago and I’m dying to know… How did the date go????

[@monikafurman7225]

I absolutely adore you 👌 And your kitchen is so goregous 😍😍

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Hahaha! Thank you so much!

[@brittanybuhler2263]

I just came across your page and saw your video! I love it! Your so sweet! Can not wait for your cookbook! When is it coming out 😊

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Everly Jane Aww thank you so much! It will be coming out in 2017. Specific date is not known yet, so be sure to subscribe to my KZbin and blog so you don't miss it :)

[@libbytibby]

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Rhona G Haha!! I'm a little Homer at times. :)

[@lainetaylor4007]

I love these videos!! Such a huge help

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Awesome! Glad you found it helpful :)

[@stephanie.kilgast]

I have a question! I'm looking for a good vegan donut recipe (I plan to sculpt mini donuts and just share a vegan donut recipe along with it) but I'm a little bit overwhelmed and as a french I have no donut-baking basics. So there, if you know of a good recipe, that would help :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Stephanie K. PetitPlat Hmmm I don't have a donut recipe of my own yet, but I would recommend trying one from Chloe Coscarelli kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJPIhn2Lgt2VfNU Haven't tried it myself yet, but they look delicious! Hope that helps :)

[@stephanie.kilgast]

It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken thank you! will watch the video and try the recipe :)

[@BeckyHunt]

Just found your channel. Love it girl! Keep rocking' it! I do a lot of what I eats on my channel too! WHOOP! :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Aww thank you so much!! I will do my best to keep rockin'. haha.

[@flyingkitesatnight]

Omigosh I'm so excited for your cookbook!!! =) Good luck on your date! Or I guess it already happened by now... hope your date went well lol

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Joanna M Haha thank you!! Yes that date is long gone. Was good, but not good enough ;)

[@BetteTwain]

I love salad wraps ❤️ I also eat later in the day Sam 😊

[@ilseayala7031]

Wow I like you way more on this video than the other one about the vegan mozzarella! Thank you for your recipes!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I like you way more on this video too. You're welcome :)

[@Victoria-cm4jr]

[@iluvcookies1818]

I am a vegan 23 years I thank you , and would like to buy your cook book whenever is ready to buy

[@unclealig]

hi. great videos! is there one for the cashew sour cream ?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+unclealig Thank you! The recipe for cashew sour cream will be in my cookbook, which will be published by Penguin Random House in 2017 :)

[@mrubbykat]

oww I loved this video! you have such good vibes :) I'm subbing

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Katzia Ramos Yay! Thank you :)

[@mels5998]

I'm actually eating beans and kale right now hahaha (seitan and quinoa too)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Melissa Schwartz Haha! But are you eating carrots? A vegan meal isn't complete without carrots. Haha!

[@franziskasummers2765]

cool to see you here on KZbin! how about cupcake icing without this cisco stuff? i am sure you have another more fresh and healthy alternative? :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Franziska Summers Hmmm ok I'll think about it :)

[@ebikefunpiet940]

Thanks for the recipe the Vegan Pizza. The vegan cuisine includes many bean dishes which spices help bloating?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+eBike Fun Piet Here's an helpful article: veganfitness.com/how-to-prevent-bloating-from-beans/ but mostly, I find that it just takes time for your body to get used to digesting beans. It took me about a month. :)

[@1024specialkay]

i love watching these videos!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+1024specialkay Yay! Was fun to make :)

[@traceym4590]

Ok, you are adorable!! A think I found a new favorite channel! :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Trixie Rose What!? Oh my goodness, so flattered! Thank you! I better start making more videos :)

[@traceym4590]

+It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken YES!! I love getting new meal ideas!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Trixie Rose Haha ok, noted :)

[@ebikefunpiet940]

very funny instructive videos. ask: how does a vegan pizza?

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+eBike Fun Piet Thank you! I have a couple vegan pizzas on my site here: itdoesnttastelikechicken.com/category/recipes/pizza-recipes/ I will think about making a new pizza video :)

[@lindarosenthal6835]

I love dates in my oatmeal! Bananas too!

[@sallyboyle2562]

U sure lemons are alkaline? (Acidic maybs)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Sally Boyle Lemons are acid, but when you digest them they are very alkalizing for your body. That's what I meant. Here is a video explaining: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ2uqKutob9jp7c

[@GIJane2U]

Did you cook your oatmeal????

[@TheAdventurousHermits]

More videos!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Ashley Haha! I will I promise. Cookbook writing is eating up all my time, but once I get that finished, I want to post weekly!! It's so much fun. :)

[@5Djoe]

Another one!

[@user-eq4xp1tv2j]

you remind me of phil lester (amazingphil) a lottt

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

I had to look him up! He seems pretty fun, thank you!! :)

[@BeaWeston]

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Haha

[@VaaleJB]

yor're so cuteeeeee!! love it. ♥

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you!

[@Rachthepisces]

Can you do a video on how or the easiest way for someone to go vegan when their spouse absolutely LOVES meat, cheese all that? I've tried before, but two grocery bills were outrageous... Help, I really am interested in going vegan... but I fear it's impossible for me. Also.... can you talk about how you'd get sufficient amounts of protein but not go over your carbs being vegan? I am a flexible dieter and weight lift 6 days a week with cardio, I need 135 g protein a day and only 75 g carbs... Also cannot handle soy because it really upsets my stomach, can't have any protein powders with hemp in it (for nursing school, they said to avoid it at all costs as it can test you positive on a drug test, I know you have to consume a lot, but being it took me 2 and a half years to finally get accepted, i'm not willing to risk getting the boot for protein powder). Also I am worried about the sodium in a lot of the prepackaged vegan meals or "meats"

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Hi Rachael! That's a good idea for a video. Actually, my best friend is a bodybuilder/personal trainer who was paleo, but then switched to a vegan diet, and her husband and kid are not yet vegan. For meals, I would say the easiest way to eat vegan while your spouse does not, is to make a vegan meal and then just add meat for your spouse. An example would be a buddha bowl, a bunch of veggies, whole grain, beans, a lovely sauce then add meat for your spouse. For protein, I recommend checking out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6XoWupbN2mobM and following vegan bodybuilders. There are lots! Torre Washington is one of my favs and he doesn't use any protein powders or supplements! I hope that helps in the meantime :)

[@Rachthepisces]

Sam Turnbull • It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken Thank you! It definitely helps for now! Would sstill love to see a video where you talk about it. I just found your blog not long ago, and I just found and watched all of your videos last night!

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Aww shucks! Thanks! I will definitely keep it in mind, as I plan on diving into more videos very soon :D

[@dawnsdonediets8713]

How’d the date end up? 😄

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Haha, well, I'm still single...

[@meatfreeathlete]

Great video! Sub'd :)

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Yay! Thank you :D

[@acbdasilva]

You’re adorable❣️❣️🤗

[@NishaBalsara]

Lol omg I love you.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Lose Your Veganity (Nisha Balsara) Haha! Awww shucks! Thank you

[@raiderfrankdatank]

I eat veggies and don't mind it, but it's frustrating how vegans try to make things look or taste like meat products, it will never work.

[@tansywoods6863]

ROY-bus.

[@itsokaytobeclownpilled5937]

You have great looking hair. Most Vegans look tired & have thin straw like hair.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Thank you! Haha, I don't know what vegans you've been meeting but generally, the ones I meet have amazing skin and hair. :)

[@kimlll2981]

I eat like triple the amount of porridge that you eat... :l

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Kim E Haha! I probably eat triple the amount of munchie bowls that you eat tho. ;)

[@fishyfishr]

Does being a vegan make you so beautiful, or is that just you? : )

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+Ruben B Haha, aww thank you :)

[@monikafurman7225]

how was your date??

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

It was good! But it didn't last. ;)

[@scienceislove2014]

I understand that you're not a science student and this one video is pretty old but just so you know.. lemon 🍋 is acidic and not alkaline...

[@PROXIMASTARMAN]

was your date a Vegan too.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+PROXIMASTARMAN I wish! No he wasn't.

[@PROXIMASTARMAN]

its often said that no true ethical Vegan would date a meat eater. its just a no go really.

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

+PROXIMASTARMAN I have never heard that before, but it seems pretty closed minded to me. I think everyone should date who they want to date. I wasn't vegan for most of my life, until I was inspired to become vegan. I don't want to write off all people because they haven't yet found that inspiration. Hopefully, I will be able to inspire them, just like I have many other people.

[@PROXIMASTARMAN]

+It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken ....Cowspiracy.

[@johnnyroe8053]

a date with someone you never met? lol

[@Itdoesnttastelikechicken]

Tinder! ;)

[@Lovedbythealmightyforever]

You’re so beautiful
