ALOHA! Hope you guys enjoyed this weeks episode! It was requested by a lot of you. As always, please SMASH that LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE! It helps us out more than you know :) Also comment below what you'd like to see in future episodes! We'll see you next tuesday :)

[@modelgek1]

Some e-bike or longboard action

[@modelgek1]

Wildlife in Hawaii?

[@007geoman]

I loved this. My only suggestion...use fresh garlic!

[@adriaanrijkse]

Book talk brahs

[@TheChloeBorcean]

Just curious, why aren't you guys vegan?

[@alialisonyt]

Thank you for showing what a healthy, balanced, and intuitive meal looks like. With all of the restrictive diets being promoted everywhere, it is refreshing to see good ingredients being cooked simply.

[@itskoasmith]

You're welcome! thank you for watching :)

[@54114142]

They look like straight out of an 80's Hollywood surfer movie XD

[@lileezee8606]

imagine being able to have whole grown tomatoes from John John's garden in your meal

[@sebbeasant1868]

It's really nice to see you guys actually eat really well, focusing on whole foods and the importance of wild-caught fish and grass-fed meat. Also, the use of good oils is such a big one. My girlfriend is studying nutritional science and understanding how inflammatory something like vegetable or canola oil is quite scary, yet it's in almost everything. Food is medicine and it's great to see you guys promote that ethos.

[@Maria-qv1ld]

so I hurt my back in the water a few weeks ago and have been recovering since, watching you guys' videos just makes me wanna work out more to recover and get back to surfings as fast as possible! you know, they really brighten my day up and it's honestly what I needed now. So yeah, thank you so much and lots of love from the mediterranean!

[@itskoasmith]

Thank you so much! Wishing you a speedy recovery :)

[@alexwoolford_surf]

I am an Amatuer surfer from australia, I love you and your channel, and I am so inspired to become a pro, your healthy diet and training video's inspire me to try harder, eat healthier and charge harder! thanks so much guys, best channel on earth!

[@Sky-wf6em]

I love you guys! thank you for giving me so much inspiration, challenges, and a sense of calm. You guys inspire me to really LIVE life everyday. So so so thankful that I found you guys a couple weeks ago - Aloha!

[@itskoasmith]

That means so much to us Skyler! We're thankful for you too :) Hope you have a great week!

[@justinc6861]

you guys are KILLING it! it just keeps getting better and better each week, thanks for the good vibes and entertainment! Stoked!

Lekker Carlien!

[@justinjackman7044]

Awesome share boys! Great advice to live by - "you either pay the difference on the front end or on the back end." A little extra change on the grocery bill now seems like a better option than buckets of cash on medical bills 40 years from now. Aloha!

[@itskoasmith]

Well summarized! Thank you Justin :)

[@earthprotected1157]

Medical bills ! It Could cost you Your life

[@emmarose6981]

Dreaming to learn how to surf one day!!... Its sorta hard to learn surfing when you live in the in-land of Canada😂❄️

[@itskoasmith]

I'm sure you're a shredder on a snowboard :)

[@emmarose6981]

The Smith Brothers more-so skiis😂 I do paddle board though.... Basically the canadian equivalent to surfing😂

[@kellyatemyfries5907]

Buy a cruiserboard or a longboard for practice. There are boards specifically made for surfers if you find them. Good luck on learning👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@rosed8691]

There's amazing surf on the east coast, also Vancouver Island ☺️

[@JuanLopez-tp7hj]

Super cool and amazing the shots you guys got in the barrels

[@Yoshi-lo4wc]

Good point with spending your money on healthy food rather than keep buying new clothes

[@emmasharwood]

Really fun video to watch guys! Thank you for what you do!

[@itskoasmith]

Glad you enjoyed it Emma!

[@BelleTolles]

Loved it. The beginning was fun and beautiful. And what you are saying about food makes so much sense and you made it look fun to cook and delicious. What kind of protein bars were those? I couldn't see when you focused on it. Granola always makes me so happy, no video is complete without, and also Jessica's smile. Thanks for the good vibes! And don't touch your nose in the store!! 😱😊

[@itskoasmith]

Glad you enjoyed it! The protein bars were Bullet Proof / Go Macro / Pro Meal

[@quybui5000]

Lovely! I've never seen a Bros' vlog before, your brotherhood makes your channel unique. Plus the quality of the video and your surfing skill makes it stand out. I really enjoy watching you guys (especially my favorite Alex). Keep it up guys!

[@mornefeldmann973]

You guys truly inspire, keep it up gents! All the way from SA🇿🇦

[@lianatobias3741]

I have been eating like this for 40 years, minus the meat. Yes, I m very healthy, strong, athletic, and synchronized with mother nature.

[@maggiestone4175]

This gave me a lot of motivation to cook more this week. Being a full time college student can sometimes make it more tempting to grab fast food here and there. Thank you 4 this 💕

[@ijaejay]

Dude is so hard

[@EduardToews]

This was exactly the video I needed but didn't knew. Thanks for waking me up again, I was eating so bad during the last weeks 💚☀️

[@itskoasmith]

You are so welcome!

[@conorbarry9201]

Thanks for this video. I have not been as active as I'd like to be and have put on some pounds since the start of Covid. I always try to eat healthier, but it's always so hard to follow through! I tend to take the easy/lazy way out (take out) a lot. You guys really made this seem simple. Thanks for all the good info! Going shopping tomorrow!

[@itskoasmith]

You are so welcome! Hope the information helps you :)

[@Marlene-Ferreira]

ALOHA.... KOA it's Awesome watching you making a "BRAAI" with the Perfect "Sunset".... Oahu has some of the Most Amazing Sunsets... We Spent 3 weeks There, Your Stores gave the Most Amazingly Fresh Produce & Food in Genral... I think You Guy's Also Enjoyed "Braai's" on the 🇿🇦 Beaches with Cape Sunsets...

Gotta love the sand bar & Whole Foods!!! After seeing how you lift the board up through the barrel, I know I can do that. Health is definitely wealth & Your kitten is too stinking cute! What do you feed him? Have a great week boys! Aloha from S. Florida.

Hello from Burbank CA. I’ve subscribed to your channel and you’ve motivated me to eat better and exercise more. Thank you for all the positivity!

[@nicolejarel5953]

This is why Tuesday is my favorite day! Thank you guys for another amazing video.

[@itskoasmith]

Our pleasure!

[@elizebethelves2824]

I’m 16 but I really wanna learn how to surf hoping it’s not too late. I am also adapting to a plant based whole food diet with the exception of seafood! I wanna feel good inside and out and you guys have really truly inspired me to better my health, fuel my body and overall have a positive mindset and way to look at things! Love from Monterey Cali!!💙🌊

[@surfboarding5058]

Plants are toxic

[@christineuniversexy]

Spent 8 mo in Australia during lockdown last year 3 hrs from Byron Bay & could not travel. Kangaroo Island has some great beaches. Back home in CA. I'll never surf but the ocean calls to me & beckons me to be near. 2AM & getting my ocean fix. Dream to visit & perhaps move to HI. Whole Foods near Kahana. Kudos for sharing the healthy food philosophy & living the dream.

[@explorationecho2366]

My Brothers, you have inspired me to share my journey in the Caribbean. Thank you for your Love and your hard work fellas. Peace be with you. Stay Psyched!

[@laurenipock]

Best day of the week when y'all post. Wish that y'all could post more often. Love whole foods. The bulk section is the best and they have alot of plastic free options.

[@pascquallo]

Visited the north shore a year ago in july. Couldnt believe how flat it is then! I loved the Hawaiian coffee beer and nature and also my very first surf lesson at Queens! Hope to see the waves at Pipeline one day during winter and try a açai bowl at the shack☺ hi from Switzerland

[@itskoasmith]

Hope to see you at the shack soon! :)

[@lyannaa7821]

Love y’all can’t wait to go to Hawaii... great video keep up the great work you guys deserve way more subscribers

[@itskoasmith]

Thank you!!

[@leilahbaumgarten6637]

Love this so much and love your Tuesday videos. Could you all do a video that educates us about the culture of the natives before Hawaii was colonized by the United States and how you guys implement that into your lives? Also a video on your spiritual journeys or video on how you stay spiritually sound minded would be so rad.

[@itskoasmith]

Thank you Leilah! Will add it to our list for sure :)

[@NekaIvana87]

Omg I love you guys so much and all your videos. This one in particular is so important, coz often people don't even realise how important a healthy, organic and balanced diet is. And the ending of the video... "I hope you have the best week ever". 🥺♥️ You guys are just amazing. I'm off to see some more videos, byeeeee! 😊

[@BreatheChristian]

post more of what you guys have learned about grocery food items. This is super cool

[@katiie7]

I agree! A bit of good quality chocolate really does give you a boost of energy 🙌🏻 i wish I knew what good quality food was in college

[@ag82536]

You guys have such good energy! Thanks for spreading and sharing.🤙

[@laurenipock]

I love shopping at our local wholefoods, they have the best bulk bins to save some plastic.

[@dbarkla3862]

Hey luv the vids!! Would be awesome to see a vid from alex about his experience with wim hof. What he learnt, what he took away from it and uses in his daily life, benefits, how the brothers incorporate any of the stuff alex learnt

[@itskoasmith]

Great suggestion. Thank you Dann!

[@PlayingOutsideSomewhere]

Look for grass fed AND grass FINISHED ... key🤙🏼

[@zackscott8636]

most americans are not used to flavor of that

You guys are amazing!! So positive and have a great outlook on life.

Frozen veggies are good too. Going to the store now.

[@allanlhall1991]

This is os awesome,my diet needs a 180 indeed im goingnto start shopping with your list at whole foods or the local grocer near me.god bless you for making this.

[@itskoasmith]

You can do it!

[@nealobryan]

So dope. this is almost everything i grab on a grocery run!!! + dark chocolate is so key

[@shannonkeithley7042]

I love the way you guys eat. We eat the same here in Alaska. Lots of wild game meat too. I have like just a few things to think about. 1. You guys can buy a quarter, half or whole local grass-fed cow. Save tons of money. Just need a new freezer. Lol 2. Get a little popcorn maker, I have had mine 12 years. And I just get organic corn. 3. You buy the good Salmon ( the good kind copper river reds, king salmon and Silver salmon) from companies in Alaska. They over night FedEx a huge amount. Just need a freezer. 4. Local farm fresh organic eggs, when I lived on Oahu there was a few farms. Goose eggs are the best ever!!! Being in the water all the time do you guys fish? Spear fish? Very healthy life. Love to see the world in paradise.

@@itskoasmith I need to shop my whole foods more. It's a mile from my apartment in Indy.

[@mommysina]

There are so many voices telling us what is "best" for us, and people judge us by how we fuel our bodies. That is ridiculous! I like to eat the way my ancestors did...I eat a lot of seafood, taro, green banana, coconut, and other Polynesian staples. I've found that my body-mind works optimally when I eat like my ancestors and I call it medicine food. But what is medicine for me isn't medicine for everyone. The best way for anyone to eat is intuitively, and you guys do an excellent job of that! Your food looks so yummy!

[@bigmoney2674]

Agree! Eat what your ancestors evolved to eat...that’s all they had and they survived and thrived! Good to see this line of thinking! It’s simple and easy

Thank you

[@freeridefried]

Good on you to eat healthy. Didn’t expect that. Just some ideas: olive oil needs to be refined to a high degree for BBQ, there can be different levels of „organic“ and while acknowledging a lot of people eat too much, the body simply needs carbohydrates to run efficiently. At the end of the day, it is good to go on the healthy diet journey.

[@bkrancid1]

you guys need to make a positive vibes cooking channel all you guys are bad ass and that food looks fire AF props you guys keep it up!

[@gilliandoplemore9357]

love this video. this is how i try to shop when possible. just a btw, make sure that when buying “organic” meats (especially chicken) make sure that it is free range with all of the certifications. if i’m correct, there’s no actually little to no restrictions on putting the word organic on labels so look for those certification!! awesome vid. love from cali.
