I’ve been vegan for more than 16 years. And I've told you before, my tastebuds are happy, my body is happy, and I feel like my diet is one of abundance, not one of lack. So what exactly do I eat on an everyday every-week basis, and why do I choose to eat just that.
I talk about:
- what i eat in a day
- what i eat in a week
- my breakfast
- the best green tea
- my diet
- eating congee every day
- the importance of dark greens
- raw vegetables
- nuts and dried fruit

Great video I don't eat tofu, as I'm allergic, but very similar to you, love huge crunchy salad with a cup of pasta with dijon mustard., lentils are great any colour and love jasmine green tea, also do cereley and apple juice, and beetroot and apple ginger juice.
i don't eat as healthily as you but i was shocked by how my taste buds have changed through the years..... who knew i would be craving roasted brocolli with lemon, roasted curry cauliflower, kale chips, sauteed spinach with garlic.. drooollll You should definitely do more food videos jenny! it was your food and minimalism videos that first caught my attention!

Same here! Burned through some different emails, but your soya milk milking video YEARs ago is what brought me to your channel :)
I've been told by a friend who is a food scientist that eating sugar in small amounts (like in hot sauce) is absolutely fine if paired with other foods that are rich in fibre, like veggies and noodles. It won't spike your blood sugar. I would't worry so much about the tiny amount of sugar in hot sauce or other condiments personally.
@user-kv3rj4cv8i

I understand what you are saying. At the same time me too in my case I became sugar aware and very precise about it, as its also a big influence on the taste. With graving for bitter tastes or being used to eat very high-quality-veggies I don t like the taste of sugared things as much as before and I feel also too big amounts in processed foods or sauces. For example I prefer the Aceton Balsamico which is not suggared much more and find it more quality tasting and yummy. My taste-receptors changed a lot and as sugar comes everywhere (also in fruits and via digesting corn and bred etc.) I avoid industrial sugar or even organic ones ( "Agave, Raw sugar-also not healthy" ) it where I can. If I want sweet, i prefer eating a proper piece of cake or a chocolate.
Fermented tofu or 腐乳 comes from my hometown Kaiping in Guangdong. I go back every few years and haul BOXES of the original stuff back to Hong Kong every time. I’m so glad you love this condiment too, all the way in London by a Swedish girl! If you have a chance, look for the bottle that says 廣合腐乳 in red and white labelled glass jars. That brand is my favourite!

I just came off a video of yet another one of my favourite KZreadrs announcing they're no longer vegan... and yours popped up next - I never clicked so fast! All that is to say - yes, please keep up the food vids! We appreciate you
I'm also Team Sencha. My husband and I also eat Whole Food Plant Based. We have the same routines of meals every day! Oatmeal with fresh fruit and cacaopowder flaxseed for breakfast, lentils-curry with cruciferous veggies, sprouted mungbeans, ACV, soy chunks, nuts and seeds and raw cabbage, and dinner will be a starchy veg and/or a whole grain cooked / beans/lentils, with tofu, some nuts, and lots of vegetables, and for desert soy yoghurt with fresh fruit and wheat-germ, with some almonds or walnuts. We use a lot of condiments, and we make Indonesian, Surinam, Indian, South-American and South-European dishes, and it's NEVER boring.
Your tea pot/cups is heavenly! The way you romanize your food, really inspires me. Your whole life looks so romantic 🙂↔️

Thank you!! 😊
Vegan of 10 years here - we eat in a very similar way! Your congee recipe is one of the staples in our household so please keep them coming! Btw, I don't think you have to be too worried about the sugar in the hot sauce, especially since your meals seem to be extremely high in fibre which is known to prevent glucose spikes. Most dieticians recommend the 80/20 rule where 80% of your diet is whole foods and 20% is relaxed/treat-y. So there is definitely lots of space for sugary hot sauce in a healthy, balanced diet. However, my personal favourite replacement for sriracha is homemade chilli oil - just half a teaspoon mixed into a salad dressing will make anything delicious 🤤
I would love to see how you make your soup and congee! Thank you!
I’ve been Whole Foods plant based for about six years now. Your tastes really do change! I CRAVE cauliflower ALL the time. Fresh, whole, and simple is such a good and easy way to live. There are plenty of times I eat the same dinner several nights in a row but I never feel limited! I just recently started putting roasted potatoes on my kale salads and it’s a game changer! Something really delicious to dip veggies in is white beans puréed with a little veggie broth. You can season it a lot of different ways depending on what spices you mix it. We found a vegan ranch seasoning powder that tastes incredible mixed in!
My biggest barrier to eating this way is the preparation. When I'm not working from home trying to eat so many fresh veggies becomes sad as a lunch
I eat very similar the way you do: mainly raw and definitely whole food plant-based. (Except the alcohol, I don't drink at all.) Eating this way satisfies and energizes me enough. I am really picky, my plate has to look colorful every time (at least 5 different colors) :D It's not just delicious but it cured all my health problems I had before (12 years ago. That's when I turned vegan overnight after watching Earthlings.) Love your videos (and you two) :)

I used to do this also until I found myself going #2 four or five times a day. My doctor tested me and found I was eating WAY too much tofu. I cut it out and became normal again, Now I can eat a little at a time. Just thought I'd share my experience. I've been a vegetarian (I eat eggs) for over 50 years.
I've been following you forever! I found you when I started going vegan, 2011. I loved all your food styling and regret not getting your cookbook. Thank you for all your help and inspiration on keeping me on the straight and narrow. I love this eating style and so happy to see all your food content. BTW I make my own sriracha, worth the effort. I am forever in your debt, thanks!

Most important ingredient for me: High quality organic olive oil directly from the Middle East. 😊 And we also eat a lot of raw vegetables plus pulses, fresh fruits etc. Whatever is in season. We buy our organic fruits and vegetables directly from an organic farm. Many years ago I saw in a restaurant in Syria that they arranged crude vegetables like a flower bouquet on every table. 🤍 Also we love low processed whole grains. And I drink plenty of tea too - without the tea. 😅 My favourite is Arabic mint with hot water. And in the winter fresh sage with hot water plus a piece of sliced orange and for a non-vegan some high quality organic honey. 😋
I loved this video Jenny! I was vegan for 6 and a half years and then went back to being vegetarian when I went into eating disorder recovery. I really love the flexibility and convenience I have being vegetarian (eating out, eating with friends, etc) so that's been great. But this winter I've been working so so much and not made the healthiest choices with food and I can feel it in my body and energy levels. I've been wanting to get back to some gentle nutrition with healthy eating and you have just inspired me to eat more spinach and beans! I really love the way you talk about food and lifestyle, so peaceful and balanced. Thanks for your great videos, as always and I would LOVE to see some more food videos!

I can relate, I was vegan for 5 years and also went vegetarian for eating disorder recovery. Right now, I'm back to eating plant based with the exception of plain Greek yogurt to boost my protein intake and get some probiotics. I do feel conflicted about the yogurt from an ethics perspective, so I'm not sure where I'll go with this in the future. Wishing you all the best and hope you can feel happy and free and free around food🌞
I'm currently trying to change my diet after a health scare, and hearing you speak with so much passion about your meals is really helping me to get into the right mindset to eat healthily 😊
The presentation of your food is like art, so beautiful
Thank you 1000x for this video!
I would love to see any and all food content you feel like making!!! Specific recipes for your congee and soup broth included, even if something is very simple it can reflect years of experimentation. I'm transitioning to a more plant-based diet, but struggle with balancing the necessity of deliciousness/variety with an aversion towards complex recipes and spending a lot of time preparing food. I also find it very relaxing and inspiring to watch content about healthy, beautiful, ethical, tasty food, even if I don't necessarily learn anything new from it.
These all look so good!!!
Thanks for this video 😊
We loved this video! Where is your tea pot from? Thanks!🌱🫖💕💓
SOUNDS SO PERFECT to me!
i’ve been way too depressed to cook a lot or eat healthily during the last year but at the moment i’m starting to enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes again! i have been noticing how much better i feel just from that, which makes me want to cook even more haha. and you’re right, beluga lentils are so good!! i’ve been randomly craving them and spinach ever since i was a child every now and then, my parents were often amused bc my brother wanted to eat sweets instead, most of the time.

Hey Jenny, yes, i'd like some more videos about food. I was hoping for such a video, thank you.
Wow, what a great video! I would love one on how you make this delicious looking soup
Jenny, I really must say, I discovered you around 2 weeks ago, and I could not be happier. I am 23 and in a transition period of my life into a more calm adult life full of abundance and consciousness of my needs and wants and taking responsibility for my choices. You made me fall in love again with the diet I also chose 6,5 years ago. With all the new vegan options arising, my diet contained a lot of processed foods lately. I am looking forward to being inspired by you and learning from your perspective of life in the future. Thank you for your content! ✨️
Loved this video, gave me some new ideas for food 😊
Thanks Jenny Mustard!

Please share your congee recipe… I have also before and would love to get infos! You gutsy are awesome!
So appreciate the fermented tofu callout! Growing up we ate this on bread (think fluffy bao bread) or my personal fave as the seasoning for sauteed veg (iceberg lettuce the preferred veg, if you haven't eaten it all raw first!). Delish!
I need to finally try the congee! As someone who wants to eat less processed foods, your way of eating inspires me to eat better. Thank you for sharing this 🤍
Your food videos are my favorite
The congee is very similar to an Indian dish called khichdi! Khichdi includes extra spices, and you can include extra veggies, too. Highly recommend!
I wish I loved food that much! I struggle a lot with textures and strong flavours 😭 I would love to develop a better variety of veg in my diet, and would love so see some of your simple recipes! ❤️
I never really ate salads during the winter months, but this year I've been having a salad at least 4-6 times a werk and I feel SO much better. I still eat meat but not a whole lot, I prefer my veggies! I also reduced my sugar intake by about 75% and I feel great!!!
Yum I already had my smoothie and papaya but after this I made some carrot lentil soup and I’m baking tofu broccoli and mushrooms now
The one ingredient that I consistently eat pretty much every day for honestly all my life is oats. (the bigger ones, not the ones that turn to mush super quickly. Every morning I look forward to combining oats with usually a bit of protein powder, cocoa powder and milled linseeds and I never get bored of it. Love it as a snack in between as well and whenever my stomach feels kinda off, some oats with a little honey and warm water usually does the trick.
Honestly the way you eat sounds heavenly to me 💚 I do have to eat out a lot because of my job, but eveytime I come back home all I want to do is cook a noodle soup filled with greens, oh and I do love some homemade guacamole! Thnaks for sharing this, it was very inspiring and also made me really hungry :)
Love your channel! I love tofu but could use some ideas to use it for breakfast...❤
Yes, please, videos on condiments and combinations ❤
Omg can we get a tea video? I would like to see tea combinations and blends!!
Wow ! Sounds like the perfect diet to me ! Would love some recipes ideas, more detailed. The "everyday" ones 🙏🏻🥰
Wow everything looks sooooo good 🤩 I really want to explore more that type of food because I’m always looking for this on the street (because I don’t like to cook) but of course, not every place taste good so it’s pretty difficult, so I do understand why you love to eat at home. I think I just have to start doing it at home at least 2-3 times per week and go from there
am in my eight year of living on my own and creating proper eating habits is the most difficult challenge, haven't figured out how to hack my neuro wiring beneficially. watching J&D's videos for years and they are satisfying, aesthetically pleasing and a tru awe-maze. may i find the self-love to come through for my self like this! i will try out a congə this week.
Beautiful video with tasty recipes 😍 As a nutritionist, I am curious to why you are so aware of sweeteners/sugars?
Your foods look amazing! I love to eat wfpb bowls, for breakfast with oatmeal and fruits, with some toppings, for lunch and dinner with lots of different veggies, beans etc. How more colors, the better. And yessss, more food videos please!
Hi, your video is an inspiration. What kind of broths do you use for your soups?
Loved the video and just ordered some Ritual vitamins for my daughter and I. Would love to know all the ingredients you add in those salads - actually it would be amazing to see a video of you and David cooking your dinner together! ❤️
This looks heavenly!
Have you tried adding sprouted mustard seeds to your meals. Delicious, so fresh and only takes about 5 days to sprout. More food videos please.
Love this video Jenny! Really good food inspiration 🙌🏻 For a chilli sauce I really recommend Batch One hot sauce from the Peckham Sauce Co in London 🌶️
There are so many options with a whole food plant-based diet. I like to keep it simple during the week and maybe make some thing A little more time consuming on the weekend. I usually go for Raw salads etc. during the day and then a soup or stirfry in the evening. I often make a Mexican inspired bowl with sweet potatoes or rice and beans with lots of toppings and sauces. Agree that berries are wonderful.Usually a snack for me is a shake made from plant milk beans and cocoa powder and a date for sweetness. Love your videos
Can you give us some recommendations on your favorite tea brands or specific teas you love?
Hey Jenny, I love the way you eat and that actually could be my ideal diet, simple ,whole plant based and nutritious . I eat very similar although more complicated recipes every day but I think it is very liberating to not worry about different menu every day. my fave veggies are broccoli, courgette, artichoke and greens like kale and chard. I love berries, tofu, chickpeas and my favourite dish is veggie, greens and smoked tofu fried rice. I am going to try congee for sure...
YES PLEASE - some exact recipes are highly requested!
Thank you! This video is so inspiring. Please make more food videos. I am currently transitioning my family to a whole food plant based diet and I find it challenging to get excited for the meals and recipes I find. However, your videos and food are photographed so beautifully everything looks delicious and I cannot wait to make a healthy meal! Thank you!!!
Hi Jenny :) Could you share the recipes? I would love to recreate them
For the siracha problem have you ever thought about making your own? I would love to see that video!
Would love to see videos where you share your recipes for everyday meals like your soups and congree! Or where you find inspiration for recipes! I really would love to eat more like you do, but struggle to find things that are easy to make daily.
Thanks for sharing this Jenny! All sounds so delicious to me ❤. I'm also a whole food plantbased vegan (since 10 years) and love kale and other dark greens as well as tofu😍. My go to lunch every day is a VERY big green smoothe with lots of bananas, different fruits like mango,, berries and kale/spinnach/mixed greens etc. So sweet, yummy, filling and good for you. Yes, please share more about your food and cooking. Warm greetings from Stockholm! ❤
I loved all your old cooking videos I wish they weren’t taken down! I love eating whole food plant based too. The food I have always loved is Broccoli!
I made congee for the first time after seeing it on your channel. My favorite topping is oyster mushroom “bulgogi” which is just sautéed mushrooms with some bulgogi sauce and chili oil. So good!
For finding a non sweetener hot sauce, have you tried making your own chili oil? Or buying one at an Asian super market? It hits perfectly for me and it’s usually sugar free.
Yes I would love to see more food videos and how certain vegetables are cooked. You mentioned sautéing broccoli is steaming not as good? Also would love to see how u make the congee and what brands of condiments you like. 🙏🏼

I've always LOVED broccoli, mushrooms, sauerkraut, olives, soysauce, red bell bepper, cucumber, tomatoes, kale, all berries, walnuts, pistachios, onions, garlic, watermelon, grapes, clementines, cherries, gooseberries.. 🫒🍄🟫🫐🍊🍇🍒🥦🍉 For most of my life though I've been depressed for a bunch of reasons 😔, and have had insomnia and anxiety. This just makes you apathetic, tired, and you crave all the wrong stuff. So I haven't really eaten the way I'd like. 😮💨 But you are so right about the fact that when you eat fast food and processed food you never feel satisfied. Even when you overeat to the point of nausea there is still an empty feeling afterwards.
What dressings do you put on you salads please, is there a brand you buy or do you make your own ? Thankyou
Your "what I eat" sounds wonderful and like what I aspire to get to! I love whole food and plant based foods sooo much! They are literally the best. I honestly cannot stand fast food or ultra processed foods. I also really want to cut meat completely as I don't like it nor do I eat it often, but my doctors and family keep encouraging me to eat it because of the lovely deficiencies, which I hate 110%. (I saw another comment about how you should make more food/ vegan related videos, and I have to say that I agree!)
My go to must always have is definitely avocado!! Thank you for this rice lentil porridge idea. I am having it just know with arugula ⭐️
The food coma in the morning is too relatable 😅 As someone who lifts weights, I'm inclined to consume calorie rich meals, but I've been noticing that having a big breakfast has been really messing with my productivity (brain fog and drowsiness). Now since I've been fasting, my mornings feel ALOT better, and I feel more motivated to get stuff done 💯
