What's In Our Fridge?: Raw Vegan/Plant-based Food Haul + Spring Cleaning

[@healthfullivingify]

Good job, Maddie and Kyle and nice, colorful dishes you were munching. I, too agree with your choices and eat more cooked in winter. I'm a longtime vegan. Right now I'm having double-boiler-cooked germinated rice, beans, sweet potato, kale and broccoli. Seasonings are Himalayan salt, cumin, curry, extra turmeric and after cooked- coconut vinegar and aminos, Udo's oil blend. Be healthy!

[@EatMoveRest]

Johnny Gregory thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed the vid!!! Plant-power!

[@sweetpotatocavy717]

Pink lady and honey crisp are my favorite type of apples :-) !!

[@andreasmith533]

Great to see others' fridges. I keep lemons in a bowl of water in fridge. Seems to keep longer.

[@EatMoveRest]

Cool thanks for the tip! :D

[@the.levelup.mindset]

You both look so glowing! The health literally glows from the inside out! That, or you have a very good lighting ;))

[@EatMoveRest]

Thanks girl! Food heals! ;)

[@annaschott1274]

AWESOME tips! Never knew about the pineapple one. Needed this especially with all the summer fruits and veggies I'm buying lately. Keep em coming.

[@EatMoveRest]

Thanks for the love, Anna! We most definitely will! 🍓🍊🍍🍇🍉🌈❤️

[@stephaniecurran2678]

[@tryingoutgravity]

You guys are awesome! Thank you so much, so helpful ❤️

[@EatMoveRest]

Absolutely! Thank you so much for watching...glad you enjoyed!🙏💚

[@jenniferschaffer1625]

So entertaining and informative! Legit the healthiest fridge I've ever seen😍 interesting how you guys keep your seeds and spices chilled

[@EatMoveRest]

Thanks, Jennifer! The fridge keeps them fresher longer, and the spice jars were our creative way to make some of our most commonly used "smoothie bowl" toppers easier to get to and use! ;)

[@melissag8270]

I have been having the worst luck with avocados, either rock hard or totally beat up! I also find that the ones that are hard and picked way too soon don't ripen right either 😂 it is always a struggle! I am so inspired to clean out the fridge, a beautiful clean and freshly stocked fridge is such a fabulous feeling, nothing better! Spring is great for resetting 😎

[@EatMoveRest]

Melissa Gillan totally! It's a major bummer to think that so much of the produce at the grocery store is picked before ripe! ☹️ If only we could all live in Costa Rica and pick our own fresh fruits and veggies! Hah! Yes, spring cleaning is a must!!🙌🏻

[@melissag8270]

That would be a dream! In season is the best 💕 tomatoes can be another tricky one to find at perfect ripeness i find as well 😦 but we will prevail! I am so happy to have found your channel 💕

[@twitchkitty1]

Melissa G have you ever put your avocados in a brown bag and in the dark? (in the bottom cupboard is where I put it) it helps ripping them.

[@EatMoveRest]

MunsterNCookie Vlogs yes! It definitely helps! Lately we've been buying organic ones and they seem to ripen much quicker too!

[@amandaesposito367]

Great video guys! Interesting about the pineapple. Love your kitchen!

[@EatMoveRest]

Thanks Amanda! Glad you enjoyed the vid! ;)

[@000darkprincess]

great videos! I'm new to plant based and these videos give me ideas on what to eat and buy, you guys looks so vibrant :)

[@EatMoveRest]

That's awesome Brenda, Good luck! Glad we could help! Let us know what kind of videos would help you transition smoothly!

[@MsGreggs5thGradeSTEM]

lol! nice magic trick! thanks for the tips about using fennel and fesh Tumeric root for digestion.

[@EatMoveRest]

Afton Greggs absolutely! Ginger root for digestion as well!👍🏻

[@shellybobinet8208]

Another great video! I just turned my pineapple upside down...great tip! I struggle finding good avocados. One thing I've learned to do is tuck my hard avocados under my "still ripening" bananas and leave them to soften. I love your avocado/guacamole recipe!!

[@EatMoveRest]

Thanks, Shelly! Glad you enjoyed this one!! That's a great idea with the avocados!👍🏻

[@kathleenross7648]

Great video. I just got a Ninja blender for my birthday and I am beginning to enjoy smoothies with all RAW ingredients. Nice way to stay cool in the Summer months and very healthy.

[@EatMoveRest]

Kathleen Ross thank you so much! That is so true! Smoothies are the best!!👍🏻👍🏻💕

[@Infinitybein]

great tips on the herbs😍

[@EatMoveRest]

O. Tella glad it helped!!😄🙌🏻

[@Ravi-ut7kk]

I've been told that cleaning is also therapeutic , tidy house tidy mind

[@EatMoveRest]

Absolutely! Good point!🙌🏻

[@twitchkitty1]

thank you so much for the tips. I already do the cilantro, but I didn't know about the pineapple. I'm starting to go vegan and your channel has helped a lot. plus you two make it so easy to watch cause you're so genuine. ❤

[@EatMoveRest]

Yay! We're so glad our channel is helping you on your plant-powered journey! Thanks for tuning in!🌿🙌🏻💚

[@healthiswealth3john279]

I TOTALLY ENJOY A CLEAN KITCHEN AS WELL!! AND I KEEP MY SPICES IN FRIDGE ALSO😆I HAD RASPBERRIES YESTERDAY. YUM! I TRIED JACKFRUIT FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST WEEK. WHOLEFOODS SELLS IT BY THE "SLICE". THAT WAS GREAT, FOR A BUDGET!! SOOO GOOD!! 🍍🍍🍍🍍

[@EatMoveRest]

That's awesome! We tried jackfruit once last year...it sure is a treat! :)

[@jules1348]

Great video. What kind of fridge do you have? Looks great.

[@EatMoveRest]

Thank you, Julie! We have an LG with French doors and the freezer drawer down below. It gives us so much more room for produce as opposed to our old refrigerator!👍🏻

[@bynro7]

Does Nutritional Yeast need to be refrigerated? Great informative and entertaining video!!!

[@EatMoveRest]

Thanks, Robyn!!😊🙌🏻 Nutritional yeast is just fine in a dark cool place or in the refrigerator! 👌

[@sullivx]

I remember from your top ways to reduce anxiety video you guys said you dont do caffeine but are there types you will consume every once in a while for example like the Matcha? If so what are your thoughts on Yerba Mate? Do you enjoy either of those?

[@EatMoveRest]

I used to drink Matcha and green tea from time to time, but found that it began to lose its effectiveness so then I’d feel like I needed and wanted more. When it began to feel like a “drug” I decided I didn’t need it or want tut anymore. I do believe it has many benefits though!

[@inaboye6958]

Beautiful fridge! doesn''t your carrots go bad really fast when kept in the bag? mine does..

[@EatMoveRest]

Ina Boye thank you thank you! Hmmm the carrots seem to do just fine in the bag! Maybe try putting them in the crisper!

[@CarlaTrent]

Hi I just subscribed to you guys..you caught my interest I really need to make some lifestyle changes.

[@EatMoveRest]

Mommz Biz awesome! This is the place for you! Let us know if you have any requests for videos you'd like us to do!😊

[@PrettyInRedd19]

Do y’all leave the grapefruit out too and then put in the refrigerator?

[@EatMoveRest]

It depends how ripe it is! If it's super soft, it can go right in the fridge!

[@Noah4evaa]

where did you get your t-shirt?♥

[@EatMoveRest]

I actually got it at the J.Crew outlet years ago, and it is still my favorite! I wish I knew where to get another one haha!

[@Tylerrl1664]

Haha nice magic trick! I wonder, though, how much all of this cost. Do you have a place that discounts if you buy in bulk?

[@EatMoveRest]

Haha thanks, Tyler! Buying fresh fruits and vegetables, especially organic, can get expensive, but yes, we shop at our local co-op that provides all kinds of perks and does discount bulk purchases, as well! We also justify this by having zero medical bills, we don't go out to dinner like we used to 2-3x per week, we pack our lunches to go instead of going to restaurants, and we also canceled our cable and gym! Every healthy lifestyle choice that we've made in other areas has allowed us to live (and eat) more freely and feel our best! It's taken a long time to get to this point, but we absolutely love it! Hope this helps! :)

[@susiewright6322]

Does keeping your spices in the refrigerator keep them fresh longer?

[@EatMoveRest]

Hmmm...herbs, yes. Not sure about spices, but I bet they would keep longer, too!👍🏻👍🏻

[@EatMoveRest]

If you were wondering about those spice jars in our fridge btw, they are filled with flax, chia, hemp, shredded coconut, and cacao! We keep those in there b cause they last longer that way and it's an easy way to grab them to put in smoothies and sprinkle on top of bowls!

[@susiewright6322]

EatMoveRest that's right, I remember now what you had in them🙃

[@ItsaHardeeThing]

Love y'alls videos me and my roommate have been eating plant based for two months but we still have more of a vegan instead of a plant based diet. our weakness is tortilla chips and sweets? how do we help this?

[@EatMoveRest]

Thank you so much! That's great that you're transitioning to a healthier way of eating! Start to replace chips with baked sweet potato wedges or baking your own chips, and replace sweets with fruits! Make fruit smoothies or for desserts make "nice cream" or dates are also a nice sweet treat and can used for lots of different dessert recipes!

[@ItsaHardeeThing]

did you guys ever have cravings like that? And did they eventually go away by eating more natural sweets like fruit.

[@EatMoveRest]

Willow Reeves the cravings definitely became fewer and farther between! Your tastebuds do in fact change, be patient and give yourself time!😉💗💚

[@ItsaHardeeThing]

awesome!! Thank you this helps alot. meat and cheese I don't even crave anymore. Just working on the sweet tooth. Love this lifestyle tho!! 🍇🍎🥑🍅🥕🍌🍍

[@EatMoveRest]

Willow Reeves those are tough enough to cut out, so you'll be just fine! So glad you're loving it!

[@alisue4426]

What's your reasoning for having the nutritional yeast and Apple cider vinegar and spices in the fridge? Does it keep them longer? I've always kept them in the cabinet and wondered if I'm missing something 😂 ..

[@EatMoveRest]

Anything does better in the refrigerator...especially important with raw nuts and seeds. The apple cider vinegar just tastes better cold and the nutritional yeast, just a preference I guess! Haha

[@shannonhollister4294]

heyy guys just wanted to say I just found u on youtube and i love your channel!!!! You guys inspire me soo much, i wanted to ask how can i properly do raw till 4 life style diet if its for weight n health? What are some tips, i am already eatting a clean diet mainly huge raw salads with fresh squeeze lemon n a small-med sweet potatoe on the side afterwards. I limited my fruit to no more then 1 serv a day n replaced it with greens, I wanna see better results to having a flatter belly n toned body, how much exercise should i be doing on a daily basis? How much do you guys do to stay so fit?

[@EatMoveRest]

Hi Shannon! The first thing I would say is that you probably aren't going to get adequate calories or fuel your body only eating raw vegetables and such a limited amount of fruit. I would suggest trying to incorporate smoothies for breakfast, fresh fruit during the day, and a large salad either for lunch or dinner. Exercise is huge for us! While diet is a better determiner of weight loss and weight gain, exercise is going to help you to get toned! Try exercising 5x a week for at least 30 min at a time and take one rest day and one active recovery day doing something like yoga! Make sure you get a good balance of cardio and resistance training in! Let us know if you have any further questions! 🙌🏻😉

[@shannonhollister4294]

Okay Thanks for the tips!!. :) I can dedinetly do yoga more! Summers almost here, we plan on biking alot this summer. Resistant training i will try to incorporate into my weeks as welll :)

[@steffee7760]

Hey guys I was just wondering how old you are? Sorry to ask but just wondering what I can expect to potentially look like on a WFPB diet when I'm a bit older 😂😂 thanks! Nice video 😘👍🏻

[@EatMoveRest]

Stephanie Brown hey girl! We both just turned 30! Lol how old were you guessing? We definitely feel like our 30 year old selves could easily kick our 20 year old selves' butts!🤣

[@steffee7760]

I was guessing late twenties! Yup I'm trying to kick my own butt. Thanks for this vid, great motivation

[@kaylacrane4700]

What Fridge is this? I want to make the switch to WholeFoods Plant Based with goal of eventually going mainly/fully raw one day. This fridge looks amazing 😃

[@EatMoveRest]

That’s awesome! It’s an LG! We love it because there is less freezer space and more refrigerator space for all our fresh fruits and veggies!🙌🏻💚

[@sullivx]

It seems the liquid you wiped down the emptied fridge with was simply distilled white vinegar - straight up? Or did you dilute it? Ha! Another idea - but more tedious - please do it at your leisure! If you guys ever were to feel up to it, a video of best practices to clean a house with natural cleaners - if you’re up for it! Like those annoying things that are more likely for people to still engage chemicals because they are simply a giant pain like the green line under the faucet in the tub, or the bathtub in general, getting the grout white between the tiles in the shower. I feel confident with pretty much everything else in my apt but full disclosure those areas I admit are where I still use cleaners with chemicals 🙈. B/c so far they are the only ones that work! 🙈 What are your guys’ thoughts on using non-chlorine bleach for the toilet and counters since it actually kills all the bacteria? Not sure if a natural cleaning video sounds like something you guys would want to do. FYI will not be disappointed at all if you decide not to because I understand!

[@healthiswealth3john279]

ENJOY KIWI ON THE GO!! EASY FAST FOOD!! IT WAS HOT THE OTHER DAY AND SO TOOK THREE KIWI ON MY WALK. YUM! EAT THE SKIN FOR EXTRA NUTIENTS. WHAT FOODS DO YOU BOTH TAKE "ON THE GO"?? THANKS IN ADVANCE.

[@EatMoveRest]

Kiwis are the best! I always like to bring a tupperware of berries with me. We bring bananas and oranges everywhere with us! ...Also, chopped carrots and/or celery! ;)

[@BeFierce86]

Your videos are so well made, I can´t unterstand why you don´t have much more viewers and subscribers. Well, with me you have one more now :-)

[@EatMoveRest]

Haha thanks a bunch! We’re growing slowly but surely!🙌🏻💚💚💚

[@MehulP30]

Just discovered your channel. 100+ videos and not a single shopping video. Everything is “look at we already do”... Nothing about the “how”... The value is teaching how to implement in a simple way. Daily meals. The Shopping for those meals Recipes. Specifics.. “What I eat in a day” The lifestyle stuff is great but useless aside from establishing the idea of lifestyle, which you’ve already done a great job at... The name itself establishes that...

[@marshallx6081]

Compost those snips, please

[@EatMoveRest]

We've got a video idea in the works for our composting coming soon! 😉✨

[@Kristen_arthur_nutrition]

hey! how do you afford to eat raw?!? I just started going in that direction but I don't have it in my budget. Any advice?

[@EatMoveRest]

Hey Taylor! Great question! We are not 100% raw, but yes, eating whole foods can still be expensive. #1, organic is not completely necessary-eating conventional produce is still going to be far healthier than eating processed junk and animal products. #2, buy in bulk when possible-we get a 15% discount at our local co-op for buying cases of produce like bananas, mangos, etc. #3 (most important) this is truly more than a diet-it's a lifestyle! We have done more than just changed the way we spend money at the grocery store-we have also become conscious in other areas of our lives that have saved us a ton of money. For example, we rarely eat out, never eat fast food, it saves us tons of money every week. We cut our cable bill-we simply don't need tv. We got a Nest thermostat to help us be more conscious of our A/C and heating usage. We compost and recycle which cuts down on trash/waste removal costs. We recently connected with HealthIQ which cut our life insurance in half because we are vegans! We don't take medications and don't get sick as often which eliminates doctor bills…I could go on and on, but I hope this helps you to think of creative ways you might be able to cut costs in areas of your life that aren't serving you-and to better see that spending money on foods IS most definitely serving you! ;) Much Love, Erin

[@glennarichards2933]

I’m diabetic. I’m eating vegan. I love fruit but must be careful

[@MRJEANJEANWEB]

Too much plastic bags:(

[@EatMoveRest]

We actually just started composting this past summer and have been recycling for quite a while! We’re getting more and more into zero waste...doing our best!😉💚
