What I Eat in a Day | + What my VEGAN baby eats!

[@01mataid]

I appreciate your transparency about feeling exhausted after spending almost a hour in the kitchen. I believe it's important to disclose the real struggles of cooking a meal after working and attending to your baby's needs all day. Thank you for keeping it real with your faithful viewers such as myself. Btw your exhaustion doesn't show, you look beautiful as always 💚

She is the most authentic youtuber I ve ever seen (disclaimer: I don't know them all). Simple and true, you have a quality that none of the rest possess.

[@laurastephenson2516]

Having a baby is exhausting, no matter what your diet. You MUST work to keep yourself up. Avoiding the SAD is much work, but is so worth it

[@meaganalexander789]

Very sweet and nice comment

[@noeybaby23]

So it’s my second day trying to be vegetarian/vegan and I stumbled across your channel. After watching 4 videos I purchased your cookbook and went to the farmers market and stocked up! I purchased a food processor and I’m on the hunt for a Dutch oven. Thank you so much for the amazing inspiration! I just made your curry sweet potato tofu dish and my daughter and I loved it! My whole family is supporting me through this journey and I am excited! Thank you again!

[@drgirl4443]

Try TJMaxx or TKMaxx, Marshall's, Sam's Club or Costco if in the US. I bought a $60 Dutch oven that is super heavy for $20 @TJ Maxx

Do try reducing tho. Look into it. Try for yourself, you may see that salt and especially oil is unnecessary. Either way, go vegan! 😁

[@sierrashavon6459]

When you checked to see if your baby was still asleep and said, "YES!" at 7:01 it gave me a flashback of when my kiddo was that age and I did the same thing and it woke her up lol 😅. Thank you for your transparency, watching this video was like looking into a mirror of myself back when my daughter was a baby. It takes A LOT to take care of those little ones and even more to take care of ourselves as moms. But, they grow up, new challenges are presented but it does seem like it gets easier as time goes on! You're doing amazing and you've got this mama!

I did the same earlier today, and kicked one of her loud toys on the way back out. 🤦🏽‍♀️

I went vegan for 3 months and it changed my life i was a ray of sunshine. However, i like meat and it's very hard to stay away. I'll just incorporate vegan meals

If you ever consider going vegan just take it little by little. Remove meats you can care less about and try to find vegan dishes that you love. Finally, swap them out. After a while you will notice you went a week with no meat no problem.

Don't take this the wrong way, but I'm glad to see you not constantly smiling like you usually do in your videos. This is the most genuine I've ever seen you. The forced smiling seemed a lil fake to me

[@ivorimusic3660]

I really admire how honest you are about how you don’t have energy these days and purple carrot helping you out like, this is the most realistic video I’ve come across vegan vloggers. I meal prep for my husband and grocery plan everything snacks breakfast dinners like everything. It’s truly exhausting and we don’t even have kids and still find ourselves eating out on the days I have to meal prep because I simply don’t have energy to cook a different meal or eat the same meal we’re about to eat during the week. Kudos to you, I applaud you 👏 for being so honest. I’ve been a fan of yours since like 2015 I think or 2014 so yeah I’ve watched your channel grow & it’s all well deserved. Happy holidays to you and your family. 🤗

[@TheSelfHelpPortal]

Your skin looks so clear and vibrant. You might be tired but u look great!

[@UnNoSeQue2]

Dear mami sweetpotatoe, take good care of yourself because your baby takes a lot of time and patience for her to grow! you are a very good cook. Love to you and your baby.

[@carlabales5187]

I totally feel you. My youngest is 3 and I feel like I can finally cook and eat on a regular basis!

[@justlearned6882]

Please do a vegan charcuterie board. What plant based cheeses would you suggest? This is tricky. I have heard it best to offer a variety of cheeses based on taste and texture but I just want cheeses that are tasty enough for a cheese lover to eat straight of the board with satisfaction. Also there are the meats themselves. Tasty meat alternatives that would do justice to the board. I have seen a couple of videos but I would love to see your take on it.

[@Ella.L.]

Check out Connie's RAWsome kitchen! She makes amazing cheese and meat alternatives from scratch and always re-invents her recipes! :-)

[@reyrats]

She should do this! I love Violife cheese, it’s the only brand I’ve found that I can eat cold shredded from the bag lol

[@let_uslunch8884]

Make lunch while you are making breakfast or dinner while you are making lunch. Doubling up like that will preserve your sanity. When I remember to do it I feel relieved.

[@toots810usa6]

I absolutely recommend the meal kits if you are starting to transition to being plant-based. It is actually like a cooking class in a box!!! I will order one up if I am feeling in a rut and have no ideas for meals. I upped my veggie content just by following techniques like a quick saute' of any kind of green goes well on top of almost everything and boosts nutrition, in turn making me feel full longer and I have way more energy. I am a breast cancer survivor, so my progress is slow, but I have made the most progress on recovery with the food I eat now :) Bless you for this channel I love your recipes!!!

[@ladyvibe1]

Girl you are superwoman 🏃🏽‍♀️🤸🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♀️! You got this! First year is extremely hard especially with breastfeeding!! But take it in stride and don't be so hard on yourself!!

Keeping frozen vegetables on hand are a must for days I don’t have the energy to cook (despite loving cooking). It’s a quick & healthy solution to a long day. Anyone agree?

[@Dixieburk1]

I did a vegan meal service for a short time, but I couldn’t tolerate the waste, either. And I was spending about twice as much time cooking as I normally do on my own. So it wasn’t a good fit for me, although I did get some great recipes and added some cooking skills to my tool box. Moms are my heroes, I don’t know how you do it.

[@Iammorethanenoughperiod]

I just ordered your book I am so excited to try the recipes

[@joannasmith8388]

That's for sharing. One thing to remember is that breast feeding will take everything out of you. The old women around me used to always tell me that I had to eat twice as much as I used to eat before I had the baby because your body has to not only make the milk but also has to be enough to give you energy. Don't worry about gaining the weight because your body will burn it off and you won't even gain weight eating more remember that and I bet you'll feel a whole lot better good luck to you thanks again for sharing.

I would LOVE to try Purple Carrot but too much plastic. I’m low waste so I can’t. Looks good though! I hope they figure out that many vegans are low waste.

[@kaylawaters2691]

I'm low waste too. It annoys me how much plastic is on stuff or around stuff. I think it's impossible to be zero waste (as I find myself still receiving various junk mail, making an unexpected purchase so I don't have my shopping bag with me, or craving food or drink when I'm away from home sometimes and don't have my reuseable cup or bottle so I end up creating waste) but low waste is really about as far as we can get within reason.

[@Rennie212]

Kayla Waters zero waste was originally meant as a term for companies in production so it was never meant to be applied to people

You could just follow recipies/ or look uo recipies online and get what you need from the store.

For some reason haven't came across your videos ina year. Came back and now you have a baby!! :] 🙂😹

[@crossclaim1]

i have seen so many vegan baby malnourishment horror stories that I would be scared to force my baby to be vegan. The parents of these children acted with the best of intentions and thought they were doing it "right" but the diet was still deficient for the baby. Not every person's body constitution can adapt to veganism. Thus, why there are so many ex-vegans. In my opinion (we can still have one in America still), the vegan diet is a detox diet. I don't think it is a long term health diet. Just look what happened to Matt Monarch. Look him up. That really freaked me out since I considered him very educated on proper vegan nourishment. He sold so many purportedly nutritious products you would never believe he came so close to dying. But in the end everyone has the right to choose what they want to eat and figure out what their body needs. I just worry about babies who have no choice.
