I became a vegan two weeks ago it started because I could no longer afford meat and dairy but I praise God it's the best thing I've ever done I feel so energized and finally starting to lose weight I never thought at 50 I could feel this good

If you did it because you didn’t have money then that’s just a plant based diet. Vegan is an ethical position, a lifestyle. You are plant based just not a vegan.

@JimmyStruther go easy on her, she just started two weeks ago, sometimes it takes time to figure it all out. I started out for my health and then became aware of more and more reasons to call myself vegan. I would never go back even if it hadn't affected my health positively

I'd invite you to consider why you needed to make this comment.

Oh, you two are precious. I retired in 2014, discovered pickleball and have been playing ever since. About 5 hours a week and it is absolutely everything to me. The people I've met are like family and I'm 74 so that's important to me. Thanks so much for keeping me on track. Movement and a plant based diet hopefully will keep me going many more years.

i can just listen to you talk about food for hours it's just somehow so nice to listen to someone who is as passionate about it as i am. thanks for another fun video

I am 17, and well i have dived into the realm of veganism a lot lately? I was really looking up for some good channels with tasty meal preps, and luckily I have barged into yours, one of the best channel out there, definitely recommended to my friends as well, and I really love the enthusiastic cooking, I gotta try this!

She is just such a natural positive addition to the project, amazingly sweet and beautiful. Thanks for the amazing work those two are doing ❤

so agree that eating at home when you are a good cook is better than eating out, especially if one is vegan! Butler soy curls are fabulous.

a trick to the powdered peanut butter is to add a teaspoon of real peanut to the mixture. really boosts the flavour for minimal calories

I don't re-hydrate my soy curls in water separately. I find they get soft enough just by adding them to broth or sauces I cook with or steaming them with vegetables (instant pot), and they absorb more flavor and end up less soggy.

@sharonknorr1106

2 ай бұрын

So I do rehydrate first, in hot water or broth, and then squeeze out all the moisture - you can see all the yellow stuff that comes out and I don't really like that soy flavor. Then I marinate for a least 30 minutes, or longer, squeeze out a little of the excess and then cook. Those who don't mind the soy flavor (I'm not a fan of straight-up tofu either) probably don't need the extra step. But if you do try soy curls and think they have a funny taste, try the double hydration before dismissing them. They are so versatile in many dishes.

Thanks for sharing! Your channel has really helped me over the past few years with vegan food and fitness. Love having someone tell me I look fit and then telling them I’m vegan after asking what the secret is, their brains can’t comprehend 😂

Hey Derek! Lov ur videos. How about a current ‘what crystal eats in a day’!!!

Played pickle ball for the first time last week with our youngest son, who’s 19-super fun, and it definitely brings out the giggles for me too, Crystal 😊

Crystal's giggling always makes me happy 😊

I tried cauliflower steak and lion's mane steak over the weekend with non vegan friends hosting a bbq. Made some fresh chimichurri and butter bean spread. Everyone loved it. Even more than some of the meat items. Highly recommend for those vegans going into bbqs. Easy to make and cheaper than real meat or beyond meat

Thanks for paying homage to Saskatchewan farmers :) The Three Farmers products are very good! I make my own chickpea (lentil, bean, etc.) snacks. We are growers so it's extremely economical and easy for me to source the goods. I simply walk out to the bins. lol. We are blessed to be able to grow the majority of what we eat.

You can make your own homemade PB cups and they taste as good as the Reese's. I have a yard full of nettle growing wild on the farm and I harvest it and make tea as well. I do the same with dandelion, rose hips, thistle, chickweed, raspberry leaves, herbs, etc. I was appalled when I saw what people pay for these in the store since most farmers have an abundance of them that they would love to get rid of!

I absolutely love playing pickle ball! So much fun and a great way to burn calories. 😊

Love seeing Crystal in the videos. Fit vegan couple goals!

that wrap meal looked so, so good

I drool 🤤 soooo much while watching your videos. Love the way you present your food, very restaurant quality style. Also, i detox with Nettle tea every year in spring time, picking fresh neetle leaves, just the top bits (new young ones), putting them in boiling water... yum, i love the taste. Usually, i drink around 1l a day for about 2-3 weeks.... Keep doing the good work, love your channel 👏 😊

Well done Derek & Crystal. Your latest video has given me lots of great ideas of what to eat and what not to eat. I loved the little touch of frying the burrito for a few seconds before serving. Awesome video. Keep it up. 😎

Crystal's giggle has me wanting to play pickle ball! You two are the best!

Thanks a lot for another day of love and life celebration! You are such an inspiration to me❤

You two make the perfect couple. I love your positive message. It makes You Tube a good place. Bless you both.

Opened up YT hoping for something good to watch - BINGO! Thanks for making my Sunday morning awesome! Vegan high protein meals, you and Crystal working out and playing pickle ball - such a great video 😉💪✨🙌 Cooking at home >>> eating out 👍

You always have the best content. I very much appreciate your videos.

I giggle all the time, too, Crystal! It’s joyful to listen to yours. As always, love the video guys. ❤

Love your videos. Greetings from the Sunshine Coast Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 😊

I love your videos, Derek. I've learned a lot from you. Thanks for putting out such great content.

My fav meal of the day is my breakfast. It's steel cut oats, unsweetened almond milk, banana, strawberry and a scoop of peanut butter powder.

Your videos are part of my Sunday breakfast routine. Cheers from Poland!

Always enjoy your videos! Your food is goals🙌💪🌱

Your channel is so wholesome👍🏼😊 I don’t eat out at all and your channel really helps me with ideas and recipes for future meals. I also really enjoy butler soy curls but lately my stomach hasn’t been loving the soy products😩

Thanks as always Derek! We appreciate you!

Thanks Derek. Your channel is the best!!

You guys have done it again! The recipes look great. I can never fold wraps like that. Love your channel.

When the pump cover came off - yooo you’re looking more and more jacked! 💪🏾 Inspo! I keep meaning to look more into carbon steel pan reviews. Would really appreciate a video on cookware! And I’m definitely keeping that wrap idea in mind for sure - that looks bomb 🤤

Good stuff! Glad I’m not the only one that overstuffs wraps. Good job on the roll!

Hey! I just stumbled across your channel yesterday and am loving it; you and Crystal are so awesome and fun to learn from. It’s dope you guys are just in Parksville.. I’m sending the love from Tofino! Keep those dope videos coming; makes me stoked to eat more plant based meals :)

Above all else ( and there is a lot).....I love how Canadian your content is. It's not purposeful, but always there.....keep on keepin' on !!

your channel is so moving can't wait to make these meals looks delicious would crystal ever do what she eats breakfast lunch dinner?

Thank you for the soy curl idea! I have a bunch of these and am always looking for ways to prepare them without oil. Another great video!

Derek you should look into kimchi juice up the nostril with a cotton swab for curing allergic rhinitis, it contains a probiotic strain Lactobacillus sakei. Pharma do not want you to know it :) I have struggled since a child, this year I have been relentlessly gardening after trying kimchi juice swabs. I will only use a Neti pot occasionally if i encounter dust or in environment with pets.

I always come to your videos for inspiration, and I love the cooking quinoa in veggie broth gonna try that 😋 love all your content!! 👌🥬🥦🫑🌱

Great video bud! Been following you for about 5 years!

Thanks for more great meal ideas! You two are such a lovely, positive force, and your competitiveness around pickleball gave me a laugh. I'm going to finally cave in for those roasted vegies. I have been fighting the temptation to buy them, due to the price, but your multiple endorsements have me unable to resist any longer. Love these meal idea videos - thanks for making them!

Great video as always. Needed a longer section on peanut butter though.

Thats funny, i was just about to bake your oatmeal berry bites from your orher meal prep video! Always so inspired by you, thank you Derek! 🌱

Have you ever considered listing the ingredients when you do this? I l absolutely love your channel and a lot or your recipes but it is so hard to catch it all on the video. Other channels with meal prep videos list the ingredients in the description box. Not sure if you are open to that, but it would be sooooo helpful!

I make a concoction of two heaping tablespoons PB 2 and one regular tablespoon peanut butter and mix them together with some water. It taste great, and is way less calories and fat. It lasts for more than one day, I usually eat peanut butter toast every morning with a small bowl of soup for breakfast, it usually last me about three days.

Great ideas once again. Thanks for taking us along on your day. Getting into Pickleball ourselves. :)

Crystal is a lucky girl! It’s wonderful that you like cooking so much but it’s great she is helpful cleaning up so it makes it more enjoyable for you both.

Loved this, had fun and learned- who could ask for more?!! I also made your "Creamy Garlic Mushroom Pasta" the other day (but pre-mashed the beans rather than in the pan) goddamn that is delicious and comforting, will be a semi-regular meal (also trying to lose weight ATM). Thanks so much for sharing your recipes, life and joy with us!

This channel was my first motivation to go full plant-based. You show it so simple and i just love the things you do, guys! Watch it on a daily basis =)

Love you both, your great people to look up to & chat with… see you at the gym ❤

Derek and Crystal, the ultimate vegan inspiration hub! 💪 The theme you set at the start of the vid is so timely as I am floating halfway between dad-bod and aesthetic-bod and I've realised I need to ditch all the sugary processed snacks that market themselves as healthy aka cereal bars, processed vegan snacks etc and get as many wholefoods in as possible. Salted popcorn and flavoured seaweed snacks, however, are staying in for now 😇

hey... Brother. I really miss you so much.. after so many days I'm watching your video. ❤ from INDIA. keep going bro

That wrap looks amazing, Derek!! I'm definitely going to have to try that cheese sauce, one of these days...

Yes. Always always always wash and squeeze the curls until the water squeezes clear. It removes the off taste but main thing is if you squeeze them dry and add to the pan they will absorb ALL the seasonings you want them to take on without the off taste ..

Glad to see you use those roasted veggies 🎉, as I just bought some from Costco and looking forward to trying them

That wrap!!! Omg yum

Always great content and food!!

Love your channel and especially what I eat in a day video. I really focus on staying away from processed foods so I hope you stick to more whole foods only to stay fit. I struggle getting in enough protein for me to build muscle and lose fat.

I love that you’re out playing pickle ball. I started playing about six months ago and love it. Unfortunately, six weeks ago I slipped on my kitchen floor, and did a hurdle split. I am 18 days postop from hamstring tendon reattachment surgery.😭 it is gonna take so many more months before I can even consider playing again.

Love Derek channel.🎉🎉

Hello, I love love love your channel and content. Could you please recommend what to eat or drink before workout if I'm working out after work and before dinner?

Amazing day of eating and exercise!❤❤

Love Silk Road spice, we used to live across the street from them! Great video.

Excellent video and gave me some new ideas.

Great video! Always find them inspiring. I recently picked up some soy curls and I’m curious as to what time and temp did you bake them?

You're a inspiration! 🎉🤗

I wish soy curls weren’t so hard to find ! Great recipes Derek ! And as always , nice to see Crystal !

A friend was coming to the US from Europe last summer and I had her bring me some Vegan Kit Kats. I did like them. I could never find them here. Seeing this video caused me to check again. I see they are now available on Amazon!!

I love the crunchy lentils by Three Farmers (I think that’s the white bag of snacks). The garlic herb is so yummy! I, too, love a crunchy snack in the car! ❤

Great vid thanks. I'd love to see a full day of eating for Crystal too.

To help transition to powdered peanut butter , Healthy Vegan Mama suggests adding a tiny amount of regular peanut butter to the mix to give it your true peanut butter flavor then reduce that amount until you’re using just the powder. It really does help! Thanks for your wonderful content and meal ideas!

GREAT IDEAS!!!! THANKS!!!!

I love that you to play pickleball. My husband and I newly empty nesters at age 45 and just started playing tennis for fun…. I’m just like Crystal, I laugh the whole time. It’s a really great time. We’re going to try out pickleball next. Why not?! Great content as usual!! Cheers

Haven't watched in awhile, great video! Can you do a video having a few friends over and cooking something for them?

Amazing meals Derek! Stinging nettles are excellent for allergies. Also Quercitin and Vitamin C in a supplement form works well also. Keep up the great work! Cheers
