You make what you want about these meals. She didn't suggest eating every meal with a budget of 1 pound. It's like she said. It's all about portion control and budgeting. Meat can be SO expensive. There's a reason most meat eaters don't have steak every night. It's quite expensive. If you don't want to like something, you'll find any reason not to like it. I personally LOVED the video. I'm not currently vegan but have been making steps to cut more animal food products out of my diet. It's lovely to see someone enjoy the vegan lifestyle and encourage others to do the same. Maddie is always so nice!

I love your style!!!! Eating onions right off the cutting board is next level tho lol

I guess if she ate more fresh fruits and veggies I would agree. However, it was grain heavy which is cheaper at least in the U.S. because it is subsidized. I don't consider processed foods as whole foods.

love this! you should try and do "vegan budget friendly luxury recipes" so like copies of takeaway dishes or dishes people would think cost more than they do.

Who is giving veganuary a go? Hopefully this sparks some budget-friendly recipe ideas for you! The ingredients and budget breakdown is all listed in the description :)

Awesome! New vegan and always looking for ideas! I'd love to see some bulk shopping and more zero-waste recipes too!

This was in my recommendations today, perfect timing as I’m writing up my shopping list and wanted to reduce my food bill because I’m sick of not being able to save much.

I'm definitely going to try that noodle stir fry!:) These are really great ideas.

This is without a doubt the best vegan recipes video I've seen, inexpensive or otherwise. There's so much variety and flavour and in fact I have most of these ingredients at home right now. I can't wait to try them out; they all look mouthwatering!!

Yum! we've been eating so much soup recently, and I've ben getting so tired of it lol. I need to try some of these! Especially the stir fry :) looks delicious!

Also I think you can transfer spaghetti or other noodles more easily if you use chopsticks to transfer them from the stove to bowl. It's more convenient!

Thank you so much for these delicious recipe ideas! I fly back to England from Japan in two days, and I’ve had the flu for the past week so I’m really looking forward to cooking some healthy vegan meals. Perfect timing as always!

my top tips for going vegan, is start identifying which of your go-to / favourite meals that you eat at the moment, don't star meat or eggs or milk. Find recipes that have 'just a bit' of meat, or have eggs within something, and try swapping out those ingredients for tofu, tempeh, more veg., flax-seed eggs, beans.... etc.

Your videos have made me really think about eating vegan. I may not agree with the ideology completely as I do like meat but I simply can't afford to buy meat all the time anymore. I will subscribe and am looking forward to your vegan meal ideas for the future.

Hey there! May i aks why you always cook your recipes in water instead of olive oil? The body can take most vitamines out of the vegetables only in combination with fat. If you would use some healthy oil in your meals you could even make them healthier and more tasty at the same time. Healthy fat acids are very important for your body and transport vitamines and flavors better.
