Whole Food Plant Based Vegan Grocery Haul

[@lancecomstock]

I made the carrot dogs tonight! My mom loved them and so did my dad! It's amazing how you can't even taste the carrot flavor, the marinade they soak in really gives them that meaty hot dog flavor!

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Right? !!!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@BuildingYourInheritance]

Got yo try these and let my daughter know

[@TheDebbieDaily]

I buy the tortillas and cut them in strips, bake them 350 for 12 minutes...they come out great. I use salsa with them...

[@yes2542]

The Debbie Daily thanks!

[@fgadaa7572]

Hi! Just found you! I live in Atlanta and I shop at Kroger and Sprouts. Doing a major lifestyle change. Love your channel!

[@ninakupchenko5744]

I’m doing it and I feel so much better. I know I I have a long way to go but I’ll give my best. Thanks

[@Mindfulnessification]

Thank you for sharing this! Our family have been WFPB for 6 weeks and we are loving it!!! Your recipes are great, too! ❤️🌿❤️

[@SunnyVibez777]

Would you maybe be able to share what meals etc your family eats in a week. Do you meal plan and/or prep?

[@KristinaLynnx]

So awesome that you use reusable big grocery bags! I recommend also checking out some reusable produce bags on Amazon too, so you can get rid of the plastic bags entirely :)

[@sonnomdeplume]

For real! All that plastic is a killer. Also, shopping at the farmers' market is usually cheaper.

[@suelacey3253]

Hi Kristina. Thanks for the advice of where you can get re-usable produce bags from..I live in the UK. Some places have paper bags here, do the shops or supermarkets provide paper bags where you are ( although reusable seems the best)

[@KristinaLynnx]

Sometimes, but not always. Plastic is standard in almost all places, but some natural food stores will have paper.

[@suelacey3253]

Thanks for your reply Kristina. I think as the issue of plastic is growing, things will change. Perhaps not as quickly as you or I would wish. However as long as it starts to turn in the right direction, it's a great start.

[@donnaleeclubb119]

I absolutely LOVE your channel. So many vegan channels pay absolutely no attention to sugar, salt, or oil consumption. I have just adopted a plant based diet. I had adopted a plant based diet for about eight months. As a diabetic with the very, very, high carb intake and sugar intake (albeit natural), my sugar was outrageous. My doctor advised me against a plant based diet because of this. I also noticed comments from vegans about how much weight they have gained. I now eat a plant based diet, moderately carb, low oil and heavy on the veg. It is very discouraging to have almost all vegan channels preach no measuring of food (bread, corn, peas, lentils) when clearly to eat as much as you want of heavy carb items, nuts and oil will skyrocket carb sensitive people as well as weight gain with oil and nuts. Thank you.

[@paulinek1967]

Dr. Neal Barnard has a great book on diabetes, I believe Dr. Fuhrman has one as well although I haven't read his. I told a diabetic friend of mine about Dr. Barnard's book. He started following it, lowered his blood glucose levels and lost weight.

[@healthytasteoflife_channel]

It looks like my grocery list :)) plus/minus a few things and I'm shopping for three. It's a little bit more expensive that an ordinary shopping list but when you exclude dinning out and other processed stuff, the expenses are pretty similar.

[@sherrif6811]

Oh boy, I’m super glad I found your channel! Going shopping now but going to binge watch tonight! Yay!! 😀

In the North west you can find Simple Organic at Fred Meyers. Kroeger bought them out several years ago. Fred Meyers has a plentiful Health and organics section.

[@carlatolentino7716]

We have a frys which is a sister company of Kroger’s! And your right it’s dirt cheap when the sales are on and I stock up. I always thought organic and vegan was expensive but recently I’m switching to vegan so I’m still learning. I learned that Kroger has vegan and organic foods for dirt cheap when it’s on sale.

[@bc101ful]

Loved your video. Just discovered your channel!! Awesome!! Will have to give Kroger a try! I usually go to Costco, trader joes and a little bit at whole foods!! Thank you for the haul!!

[@mymail1938]

Thanks, this is very helpful. I am preparing to go WFPB next week. Already got a week's menu and groceries and I will get my produce from the market in a couple of days. I chose to finish up what I had in the house, in stead of throwing it in the bin. But I regret that decision, my fibromyalgia and ibs are suffering from it. I will try to give away the rest of my frozen chicken. Looking forward to the change and what it might do for my body.

[@tnoelart]

I love 7th generation dish detergent. I live in the south east too but we dont have a krogers or lowes food here. Aldis is actually a growing organic food market if you have one and its dirt cheap. Also those simply organic cans are probably the best I've seen low sodium and the spicy black beans are amazing if you want some spanish tasting beans straight out the can.

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

HappyVegan Awesome. We do have an Aldi. I haven't been yet but I'll have to check them out. Thanks

[@elsagonzalez2129]

Aldis is my store ❣️

[@MotherOfFerrets75]

We have an Aldi's where i am at. I have been shopping there for about 20 years. Am so happy to see so many more organic and whole food products being put out. And it is so much more affordable for me than going to Whole Foods, Sprouts or other commercial store chains. I only go to Whole Foods for specific items or if there is a really good sale on things. When I was there last i made a haul of unsalted nuts to make dips, green and red lentils, quinoa and brown rice mixes, etc. I hope aldi's keeps up the organic and whole foods based items.

[@wheezyyo1250]

Love krogers! Get most of my groceries there. Wish we had an Aldis😞 they are in all the states around us but none in ours.not sure why. Love your kitchen! Great videos,very realistic and family friendly recipes, Thanks!

[@robertmonds4762]

You talked about not having too much oil as in the chips. When you mentioned it was canola, I was horrified. Canola os an industrial oil which is used in most margarines. I have had 2 friends whose eye specialists have told them that their macula degeneration is directly as a result of years of margarine use with canola oil. Pico from Queensland Australia

[@peggyboehnlein8755]

[@Jojodancer1978]

Another great video. Thanks for the break down of what you use each item for. Very helpful.

[@cminmd0041]

I live in an area where the Kroger is also very good and my go to market! I think it varies a lot by state because when we lived in Florida the Publix were very nice. Weird! Every now and then I go to Sprouts for the more exotic items or just for fun. :)

[@Okinawanveganchef]

I buy both dry and canned organic beans, canned usually goes on sale for $1.20 and that is cheap especially in Hawaii. Now I can make batches of chili or beans and brown rice :) Love your channel. Aloha! BTW $230 a week for a family is cost effective better than fast food, junk foods, eating out(loads of sodium, sugar and worst yet, oils). Better than for paying medical expenses. Aloha!

[@MaeThaMare]

I LOVE kroger, it's always had such a variety of organic, natural, and specialty foods! whether its a dietary need or a cultural want they've always had the largest section, i would also recommend Ingles if you have one, the prices are a bit high but the options are endless. or perhaps Thrive market (specifically if you have a specialty diet) Great video

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Tamirra Glover Thank you Tamirra🤗

[@marion1157]

Very insightful. Where do you order your dates & cashews from?

[@bibeejane]

you could also cook a big bulk of beans, fill them hot into glass jars (to the rim with the boiling liquid )and let them cool upside-down. they will keep for months and are great for lazy occasions!

[@okcvixen]

Thank you very much on your video"s with no oil, that's the main reason why I watch you, because of no oil, or shall I say SOS. Thanks again for all your tips...

I have only $150 ($30 of that is for our pets) to spend per week for 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) but we are getting there. We have to transition because of the cost in New Zealand and also my daughter is quite picky with the food. Love your channel.

[@pastelagateu807]

Hi!! Love your channel!! You mention you shop for dates and cashews by bulk, do you mind sharing where? Thank you for taking the time to read this😁

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Sometimes I order my dates from the Date Lady ilovedatelady.com/ Otherwise I now just get them both from Trader Joe’s because the quality is more reliable and affordable, especially for the cashews

[@healthseekerme]

Hey guys. Myk here. I find that just chopping up some red and yellow peppers or using celery (which taste very salty if your tastebuds have adjusted to a low sodium diet) let’s me forgo chips altogether. The hummus, guac or salsa is just as good!

[@autumnmeadows4079]

Regarding stores, I live in Miami, Florida and I do not know where we have a krogers.I love your food haul. I will look around for one. Your produce haul is excellent.You look happy and well. Yep, we buy lots of bananas like you. I like the way you think.Oh and I am going to check out your kombucha segment. And also I am looking for your sauerkraut recipe

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Do you have a Trader Joe's because I am doing a post on that next week? I never did get the sauerkraut recipe out there but I followed the recipe from the Perfect Pickler and just didn't use the full amount of salt. =)

[@autumnmeadows4079]

Hey there, it is so nice that you responded to my post. Yes, we have a Trader Joe's here. I have been several times. The prices are excellent. It is a must to get there early.Maybe I will try to make it over there this weekend.I was told that there is an Aldis here, and my daughter shops at the one in Orlando. She likes it a lot, especially with her beautiful baby boy.I will continue to view your channel, and utilize your recipes.Peace

[@ehrynmcnulty1395]

I recommend looking for fair trade bananas! If you can’t find them, buy organic any brand but Chiquita. They have actually paid people to beat their workers into submission after protesting for working conditions and pay. If we are helping animals and the environment, we should also be thinking of the people providing our food

[@wholefoodplantbasedcookingshow]

Ehryn McNulty Absolutely!

[@GuyCruls]

looking at the before and after pics of yourself, clearly YOU SAVED YOURSELF. I'm just under three months into veganism and have lost over 20 pounds. I was already doing home fitness when I went vegan, and my energy levels have not dropped one bit. the one tragedy in this whole business is the quasi universal conviction that meat is absolutely indispensable, not mentioning what animal husbandry on a corporate scale is doing to the planet...

Would you think about ditching all those plastic bags for your produce? :) most fruits/veg can be carried and weighed without bags, and for the other smaller items you can carry reusable produce bags along with your reusable carry bags to the supermarket!

How do you know she didn't already reuse the plastic produce bags. Sometimes people's militancy for every issue forces us to lose sight and positivity of the bigger message.

[@KristinaLynnx]

Just a heads up you can use reusable produce bags for weighing/pricing as well!

[@suelacey3253]

I don't think Emma's comment was militancy. Plastic has become a huge problem. I think she politely asked a question, and gave an alternative. I can't see that this forces anyone to loose sight and positivity of her message

Aldi is one of my main grocery stores. Our local Aldi is in the process of expanding. I hear it will be very similar to 360 Whole Foods. I'm very excited because we are limited with finding affordable organic foods.

Sweetbabygurl34 W I recommend using foods such as rice, pastas beans, lintels chickpeas, seeds,f frozen fruits in a bag, green beans, corn, tomatoes paste, bananas, oats (you can make granola with it) oatmeal , kale can be inexpensive too, frozen veggie mixes ect. You can also go to multiple stores to see what fruits and veggies that are in sale. Different stores have different things on sale. And if you want a meat substitute make it at home, it will be much cheaper and healthier AND you can adjust them to make them just right.

[@baconandeggs9113]

And also sprouts. You have to look up 'how to make sprouts at home' and there are a verity of sprouts you can make in just a bottle in just three days.
