n: t AA n - y uh Ms. Tanya I allergic to nuts , excepts coconuts. I drink coconut milk and eat coconut milk yogurt with no reaction. A lot of my friends with nut allergies also have no reaction to coconut , that’s why I said coconut milk. I’m Sorry if your allergic :(❤️
My favorite recipe is mushrooms and onions sauteed in A1 steak sauce, you will really think you are eating a T-Bone just go easy on the sauce, try it you will thank me later. A chef taught me that little recipe!
The bottles say to refrigerate after opening soooooo 🤷🏾♀️ case closed, right?! 😂 Can you do a video on what it’s like living with others who have a different eating styles/habits? Does everyone tend to just cook for themselves? Do you cook and just adjust based on diets? When you transitioned, were there discouraging comments or backhanded jokes that made it difficult or make you feel uncomfortable from the people you live with? Or were people supportive?
I’m vegan and have been for 4 years. It was tough initially. I got sooooo many comments and jokes from family and friends. Even my grandma and mother told me NOT to force my then 6-7 year old daughter not to go vegan because “she’s been raised on meat!” 🙄 Now they’re all inquiring about plant based foods because of dishes that I’ve made and brought to the family gatherings. I wish I would’ve just gone ahead and transitioned my daughter, although now, she tries some of my vegan meals. My boyfriend (and daughter) are meat eaters so I cook and shop for them simultaneously. It took a little minute to get my mojo but all is well!
Charmaine Brim appreciate the response! I live with my boyfriend and his two boys And they are big meat eaters (I don’t eat beef or pork). But it’s always an “issue” when it comes time for family meals (mainly dinner). We share the cooking responsibility, so of course when I cook I accommodate for my eating habits and theirs. But when it’s his turn to cook it seems to be an issue or inconvenience. When we grocery shop and he picks up foods I don’t eat (like pork chops or beef patties) and I mention he doesn’t have to get a lot since I don’t eat it, he becomes visibly irritated and annoyed. So it’s discouraging knowing that I want to make more changes (like possibly transitioning to pescatarian and he doesn’t eat seafood).
@@ayygeesmylz sounds like your boyfriend is the problem and not your food choices. Making sure your food needs are met should be easy. In my friend group we have multiple food allergies & preferences (no eggs, dairy, chicken, coconut, etc.) When we get together we make sure that everyone has plenty of food options. It's not that hard. Your dude really shouldn't struggle with helping/supporting you. Sorry.
Ashley Gobert awww it seems like such a compromise... i don’t eat pork and now no beef but i always try to accommodate others in my household but the favor is not returned 🙄 lol.. stay positive and keep pushing
My staples are: Brown rice, beans, Vegenaise, same brand butter substitute, oat or cashew milk, same cane sugar, coconut amino acid, Braggs amino acid, Braggs ACV, olive oil, coconut oil, and lemons as well. I'm in LOVE with my VitaMix😍👍🏼
Myrna Joseph I’m a new pescatarian ❤️ I’m scared because I think about fried chicken all the time. I miss it so much (only been 22 days..)😭 I haven’t slipped yet tho
@@unknownuser-xm9cp 😂😂😂 you got this girl. I'm not vegan, but it sounds like the struggle is real. Eat what u want to but just add the necessary substitutes.
I’ve been “kinda” plant based for a while, a lot of the foods I eat regularly are plant based but I made the decision to go all in last week. My mom and I started eating earth balance butter like 6 years ago not even realizing it was vegan. It’s all we use. We love it. It’s not so hard to be fully plant based, just requires some preparation.
When you said cold ketchup and hot fries, I fell out my chair. I thought I was the only one. When I usually tell people I love this they look at me funny.
My diet is mostly raw vegan. Breakfast and snacks and sometimes lunch is fruit monomeal. Watermelon, pears, plums, bananas, cherries, grapes, mangos, figs, oranges, Etc. Lunch and dinners a salad like meal. I make a homemade dressing - sauce for the salad and to marinate the mushrooms. Asian marinade, Chipotle tahini sauce, Asian peanut sauce, guacamole, Etc. I do not use oil. Mustard and ketchup is in the fridge. I leave peanut butter and Tahini in the pantry, putting them in the refrigerator makes them thick and hard to deal with.
I've always preferred ketchup & mustard in the cupboard/pantry. It's what I grew up doing, but I honestly don't like cold mustard or ketchup--I find them a little gross when they're cold.
My fav nut milk that I've gotten soo many ppl addicted to is SILK ALMOND CASHEW PROTEIN MILK. It's the closet alternative to milk bcuz it contains 10grams of protein per cup. BEST BUTTER EVER, miyoko butter. I find that all the earth balance bitter have a slight rancid smell. Or when you brown it, it smells horrible. The miyoko one browns and smells like browned butter. I would highly reccomend those 2 things. Bomb lol
I’m vegetarian right now finally made my transition from pescatarian 😅. I would love to go vegan however many vegan products have “soy” and I am intolerant to “soy.”
I try to avoid soy as well. There are alternatives for most products. Instead of tofu, you can try Pumfu which is made from pumpkin seeds. Instead of soy sauce, I like the No Soy brand which is a good alternative. Most packaged products have soy in them anyway because it's added to everything, but, there are ways around it. Most times, I just go for whole foods.
Please consider making a cookbook! I’d be the first to buy it! I’m not 100% vegan, but I do eat a lot of plant based foods. Your dishes sound yummy and your book would be a BEST SELLER!! 😁
I just started plant based again for the second time (watching What the Health gave me the push) I feel way more confident this time with a more realistic approach so I’m able to stick to it and its great! So fun coming up with new tasty recipes. This video helped so much giving me insight on different ways to use things. Thank you!
I get the sugar free apple sauce and use it to make pouches for my toddler. You can get reusable pouches on Amazon. Their great because you can pack it with fruits and vegetables and they'll never know. Lol ( unless they watching you blending)
This is so helpful! New subscriber! My daughter is a natural born vegan due to her crazy amount of allergies so I’m always looking for things to make for her. She’s 3 and her docs always ask me what’s my secret with her being the perfect weight and height for her age and I’m like her diet. They always wonder how I got her to eat this way and I tell them it’s all she knows so you’re definitely doing the right thing with your child. Don’t let anyone say that the baby is missing out. What they don’t know. They will never miss.
I have a baby too :) she’s 5 months and starting solids soon. Can you do a video of what vegan foods baby eats? I’m vegetarian and planning to become vegan soon :-)
I use everything you mentioned in this video since going vegan. I wish I would’ve found your channel before, would’ve been very helpful/informative. Great video to new and ever veteran vegan 👏🏾 (Oh and all my condiments go straight to the fridge but I’ll use room temp or cold ketchup.....I Just ❤️ ketchup)
I like that you have all fresh items, instead all the fake packages Vegan Foods.. Very Smart Women.. I notice all the package Vegan food is fake food, Like most things in a package.
Love when you do these videos been watching you forever and thats why I started my vegan journey..and I already have some of the essential...love that I can get additional tips from you. Thanks and ketchup and mustard I keep in the fridge. Some of my essential are smart balance butter (but I might have to try the butter u show) and smart balance peanutbutter, so delicious coconut milk and so delicious coconut milk yogurt. I also have the same vegan mayo as in the videot. I have olive oil, coconut oil, apple cider vinegar in my house and much more. Oh and I make oatmeal every morning for breakfast yum. I dont want to fill up the comment section too much. Lol🙈
I put ALL condiments in the fridge. I just started a plant based diet at the beginning of the year and I'm trying different things so your videos help so much. Thanks for the hot sauce tip, I'm making buffalo cauliflower bites for Super Bowl Sunday.
Since I don't use oil, to make my dressings and sauces creamy, I use tahini or hummus. To keep them from tasting flat I use lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, balsamic vinegar, or brown rice vinegar depending on what flavor I want.
That earth balance butter is DIVINE. my grandmother can’t have dairy bc of medal stuff and like a true southerner she just dumps copious amounts of butter on everything. Had to teach her to chill out of that. But she really likes earth balance. It’s good just on toast too.
I keep ketchup, mustards & bbq sauces in the refrigerator too. Many of my food essentials are similar to “TheChicNatural”. But I also keep spinach, unfiltered honey, onions (purple & sweet), garlic, carrots, cucumbers & frozen/fresh peppers. These items alone are a great meal. But with a few essentials already mentioned plus bbq sauce, mayo & ketchup.....game day roasted veggie sliders, a side salad, french fries & a raspberry seltzer water❗️🥰🥰🥰
JUST mayo is back in limited supply and will be returning to full production asap according to VegNews. There will also be a line of other JUST condiments
Been vegetarian for a year but im finally moving out for college and im excited to go vegan w out the family judgement. Thank you for such an informative video!
I think milk is easiest thing to convert and and butter. I was drinking 2% or 1% milk then I went to almond milk, and I thought is it really that much almonds in almond milk. So now I switch the whole family to straight coconut milk, I don't even like coconut but the coconut milk isn't bad
I'm not Vegan but I have switched to a more vegetable heavy diet and less meat, so I love watching vegan and vegetarian videos for information and new recipes to try. It's definitely made a difference in my health. Thank you for your video , it's definitely been a great help for grocery shopping.
I really enjoyed this video. As I'm still learning and finding my way as a vegan, I was glad to know you can use apple sauce as an egg replacer. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber.
I started trying her meals a few years back and I have incorporated so many Vegan meals in my diet! Even if people don’t want to go full Vegan this is a great way to help balance your diet. So happy for these videos!
Chick pea or lentil pasta with hummus is amazing. Put the hummus on top after you boil the pasta like a sauce. It tastes like cheese. Amazing. I always have a side of dandelion greens, kale or any vegetable. Roasted Saffron chickpeas are spicy and tasty, Whole Foods has it. Also Hippeas cheddar curls are great snack.
I basically have everything you’ve mentioned but the other staples are almond flour, sesame oil, tahini paste, lentils (all kinds) and of course the yummy and versatile onion.
I am so happy that you didn’t say shiitake mushrooms to fry because most people say that but I didn’t have a good experience with them so I’ll try the portobello and see how that works for me 😁
Been watching and learning your great tips for years. Your helpful energy is not only educational , it’s light heartedly delightful. Thank you for your honest energy.
Agree with all these items with the exception of ketchup and mustard. Agree 100% about the blender. I would also add a good set of knives (especiallya pairing knife), a cutting board, flax seeds and/or chia seeds, bananas, frozen fruit, almond butter (or your favorite nut butter), baking soda, baking powder, chickpea flour, canned diced tomatoes and lots of water for all that fiber 🌱🐇
I love my Ninja blender. I use it several times a day for the last 4 years. Smoothies, salsa, salad dressings, sauces, soups. The smaller blender cups blend better than the big one. Smoother results with the small blender cups
I am new to being Dairy Free (I want to transition to being vegan but it’s so hard to give up meat lol) I recently found out I am allergic to milk (it makes me break out in hives) and I have been eating a lot of vegan foods. The Earth Balance butter is delicious and makes for a great butter when making garlic toast for spaghetti. 😋 I have yet to try the Soy Free version but I will try that one after I run out of my current container. Thank you for sharing your favorite items with us ☺️
Same as Crystal Davis. Unopened in the pantry; opened in the fridge. Also I love how you eat so healthy. Also you might want to check out NON-GMO foods.
Thank you for this, my family have been thinking & talking about doing a vegan day once a week. Thank for for always sharing & inspiring, vegans & non vegans with your delicious foods ideas. I always put my condiments in the fridge!! 💕
You just taught me something with that “Buttermilk” trick! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
4 года назад
Nonvegan here - I have an egg allergy and I love vegan mayo! I agree that Just Mayo tastes best. We also keep cashew milk in the fridge because my youngest is lactose intolerant. Great video - we aren’t vegan but I keep 23 of these items on hand as staples for my family too!
I am going to have to try that Earth's balance I use the Earth Balance buttery sticks right now and I don't feel like there as flavorful as butter but I would rather use that any day over actual butter
And if your allergic to nuts . There is hemp milk, pea milk, coconut milk, rice milk, and oat milk. Lots of variety ❤️
Brianna Richardson no coconut milk for nut allergies tho..well not mine.
@@ntaan-yuh4885 coconut is actually a fruit so its okay for those with nut allergies (some folks, not all )
n: t AA n - y uh Ms. Tanya I allergic to nuts , excepts coconuts. I drink coconut milk and eat coconut milk yogurt with no reaction. A lot of my friends with nut allergies also have no reaction to coconut , that’s why I said coconut milk. I’m Sorry if your allergic :(❤️
Thanks for this! I just recently found out I’m allergic to all nuts☹️. All these years and I never had any problems!
my mom is allergic to gluten soy and peanuts so its kind of a struggle for her 😔
I’ve been vegan for almost a month and I feel better, honestly
Vanna Renee Graham yay!!! Congrats to you, you will continue feeling better 💪🏾 keep going
youre not eating any cholesterol of course you feel better!
Congrats, I’m just starting and feel a little lost.
@@buppo89 lol that’s not accurate at all
me as well and I sleep so much better
If my ketchup or mustard is open then I place it into the refrigerator. If new or unopened it remains int the cabinet.
Same
😲 strange reading this response because you have my maiden name. Still a Davis at heart. I'm looking like who stole my name in here, 🤪...
Same here
That’s exactly what I do
🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️🙋🏽♀️
My favorite recipe is mushrooms and onions sauteed in A1 steak sauce, you will really think you are eating a T-Bone just go easy on the sauce, try it you will thank me later. A chef taught me that little recipe!
Wow that sounds delicious! I have to add that to my Vegan Meals List. Love when I read the comments and get great ideas lol
What is A1 steak sauce, please?
@@michelleedwards346 it is a brand called A1 they make a steak sauce
Y’all keep saying she favors Nicki but I see Eve, either way she’s beautiful 💜💜 Thanks for the tips !
True! And sounds like Blac Chyna
Auuna Monae I think it’s the shape of her face. To me she looks like a Nicki Minaj Chaka Khan mix
Auuna Monae I see Nia/KeKe. 😂
Yes she favors Eve more than Nicki. Also her voice is a little closer in tone towards Eve.
Yessss girrrrrrrl I see Eve eve 😂🥰💪🏾
The bottles say to refrigerate after opening soooooo 🤷🏾♀️ case closed, right?! 😂

Love the Braggs. Amino. However the Carbs is way too high. 100mg/1tsp....ugggg
I agree ketchup, mustard, and mayo all belong in the fridge especially after opening it.
Target has 20% off cartwheel offer for that vegan Hellman’s Mayo. For anyone looking to purchase it
Keown Jones have to check that out. Thxs.
Lentils and couscous are great staples, too.
Who else just automatically likes her videos before you even finish watching the whole thing? 🙋🏾♀️
Yes 😊. She is cute
I put my condiments in the fridge. I like doing that because I think it makes it last longer.
mayo anyway
Aquafaba (chickpea juice) can also be used as an egg replacement in recipes.
Can you do a video on how to make the black bean burgers pleaseeee ? Also I put ketchup in the fridge after opening lol
We eat a lot of rice. Especially Jasmine rice. I love the flavor of if
Fridge all day goddess. I don't like warm fruit either, got to be cold.
ShaiDaArtist yesssss my friend!
Except bananas.
Earths Balance vegan butter and Hellman's vegan mayo are two of my absolute favourites, and I put ketchup and mustard in the fridge!
Yesss I've been Pescatarian for 10 years but want to Follow a vegan lifestyle so thank you for this.❤👍🏾✔
Myrna Joseph I’m a new pescatarian ❤️ I’m scared because I think about fried chicken all the time. I miss it so much (only been 22 days..)😭
I haven’t slipped yet tho
Certified Weenie is it the chicken you miss or is it the “fried.” I’d fry a few fish with batter and hot sauce if it’s the fried part you miss.
@@unknownuser-xm9cp 😂😂😂 you got this girl. I'm not vegan, but it sounds like the struggle is real. Eat what u want to but just add the necessary substitutes.
n: t AA n - y uh Ms. Tanya it’s fried chicken that I miss. Not chicken in general.
Krazily Eclectic thank you!

I've never heard of mixing a nut milk with ACV to make buttermilk. THANK YOU!!!
Ketchup and mustard belong in the fridge!! New sub 🙌🏾
Tandrea Sellers PERIOD
🤣🤣😂😂 I put my ketchup in the refrigerator after opening because it says on the bottle to do it.
I never put either one in the fridge!
Wait... What there are people that don't put ketchup and mustard in the fridge ?
@@alexandramlg NEVER HAVE NEVER WILL
Can you do a what we eat in a day having a mixed eating family.
Ciara B good idea!
Black Beans I Agree 💯 My Favorite Beans Hands Downs
When you said cold ketchup and hot fries, I fell out my chair. I thought I was the only one. When I usually tell people I love this they look at me funny.
My staples would include grits, chia seeds, frozen fruit, sea moss, coconut water, wraps, and almond or peanut butter
NoirVeganista yes my staples as like yours, especially seamoss
NoirVeganista what’s sea moss ?
My diet is mostly raw vegan. Breakfast and snacks and sometimes lunch is fruit monomeal. Watermelon, pears, plums, bananas, cherries, grapes, mangos, figs, oranges, Etc.
Lunch and dinners a salad like meal. I make a homemade dressing - sauce for the salad and to marinate the mushrooms. Asian marinade, Chipotle tahini sauce, Asian peanut sauce, guacamole, Etc. I do not use oil. Mustard and ketchup is in the fridge. I leave peanut butter and Tahini in the pantry, putting them in the refrigerator makes them thick and hard to deal with.
Earth balance butter is wizardry. Like it’s so similar it makes me do a triple take at the ingredients list every time I use it
I've always preferred ketchup & mustard in the cupboard/pantry. It's what I grew up doing, but I honestly don't like cold mustard or ketchup--I find them a little gross when they're cold.
My fav nut milk that I've gotten soo many ppl addicted to is SILK ALMOND CASHEW PROTEIN MILK. It's the closet alternative to milk bcuz it contains 10grams of protein per cup. BEST BUTTER EVER, miyoko butter. I find that all the earth balance bitter have a slight rancid smell. Or when you brown it, it smells horrible. The miyoko one browns and smells like browned butter. I would highly reccomend those 2 things. Bomb lol
I’m vegetarian right now finally made my transition from pescatarian 😅. I would love to go vegan however many vegan products have “soy” and I am intolerant to “soy.”

Yeah I haven't been able to find Just Mayo anymore so now I use Veganaise by Follow your heart and I like it better than Just Mayo. Team Fridge
This video came right on time! I am semi-vegetarian and trying out more vegan meals in my diet.
Please consider making a cookbook! I’d be the first to buy it! I’m not 100% vegan, but I do eat a lot of plant based foods. Your dishes sound yummy and your book would be a BEST SELLER!! 😁

That nutritional yeast and popcorn though be popping👍🏾😋🍿....my favorite snack. I add some raisinets when I have a sweet tooth. So yummy.....tfs
I add a drizzle of coconut oil . Changed my life!!
Can you make a vegan macaroni and cheese video??? Or a holiday spread tutorial since we are approaching that season!
I love that you're introducing your subscribers to vegan foods. Keep up the good work👍🏼🤩
I put mine in the refrigerator (Ketchup and Mustard).❤❤🥰
I get the sugar free apple sauce and use it to make pouches for my toddler.
You can get reusable pouches on Amazon. Their great because you can pack it with fruits and vegetables and they'll never know. Lol ( unless they watching you blending)

Had to teach her to chill out of that. But she really likes earth balance. It’s good just on toast too.
Thank you for sharing the Vegan. There are about 13 items that I need to add to my list. This has helped me to continue my choice of healthy eating.
Lol I always put my condiments in the fridge! Except peanut butter or syrup.

Omg Hellman’s has a vegan mayo?! 😱 I love Follow your heart vegan mayo
Yep. I saw it today at Target for $3.99. Much less than the $7.99 to $9.99 I’ve seen for other vegan mayo!
I picked it up today and it was buy one get one free in Publix. It was $1.82 each!
Everything goes in the fridge except the hot sauce🤣
Erica Tumbs certain hot sauces do say to place in the refrigerator after opening. Texas Pete is one brand specifically.
Erica Tumbs yuuuuup
I think milk is easiest thing to convert and and butter. I was drinking 2% or 1% milk then I went to almond milk, and I thought is it really that much almonds in almond milk. So now I switch the whole family to straight coconut milk, I don't even like coconut but the coconut milk isn't bad
Vegan mayo , earth balance and cashews a must have for me too with those you can do anything
Room temp ketchup is very loose I don’t like it ketchup in da fridge got body make it thick🐾

I love my Ninja blender. I use it several times a day for the last 4 years. Smoothies, salsa, salad dressings, sauces, soups. The smaller blender cups blend better than the big one. Smoother results with the small blender cups
If you want a dupe for real butter (not buttery spread), the miyoko butter is awesome
My condiments go in the refrigerator, love to have them chilled
Very helpful i also put my ketchup in refrigerator and yellow mustard that good stuff.I enjoyed it very much
Condiments in the fridge, always whether it's Sauces, Ketchup, Mustard, all in the fridge, yum.
I am new to being Dairy Free (I want to transition to being vegan but it’s so hard to give up meat lol) I recently found out I am allergic to milk (it makes me break out in hives) and I have been eating a lot of vegan foods. The Earth Balance butter is delicious and makes for a great butter when making garlic toast for spaghetti. 😋 I have yet to try the Soy Free version but I will try that one after I run out of my current container. Thank you for sharing your favorite items with us ☺️
Fresh hot French fries, with COLD ketchup is my fav❤
I like cold mayo n salt with mine👍
You are a fantasic vegan advocate! And you look gorgeous as always.
Same as Crystal Davis. Unopened in the pantry; opened in the fridge. Also I love how you eat so healthy. Also you might want to check out NON-GMO foods.
Thank you for this, my family have been thinking & talking about doing a vegan day once a week. Thank for for always sharing & inspiring, vegans & non vegans with your delicious foods ideas. I always put my condiments in the fridge!! 💕
I enjoy grape seed and avocado oil but I use coconut and olive too
Ketchup & Mustard are Room Temperature in our house 😂 I do not like cold ketchup. You look great btw!
You just taught me something with that “Buttermilk” trick! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Nonvegan here - I have an egg allergy and I love vegan mayo! I agree that Just Mayo tastes best. We also keep cashew milk in the fridge because my youngest is lactose intolerant.
Great video - we aren’t vegan but I keep 23 of these items on hand as staples for my family too!
I am going to have to try that Earth's balance I use the Earth Balance buttery sticks right now and I don't feel like there as flavorful as butter but I would rather use that any day over actual butter
Brianna Wunder the tub is better than the sticks
@@_whereisrenee Thanks I will get it next time for sure!
No to cold ketchup and mustard! Must be in the pantry at least for my family...
I would have to agree with you on that!
Katina Combs that’s my hubby! I don’t care either way but he’s a pantry guy!
I do not like cold ketchup EEW
I agree, why put cold ketchup or mustard on hot food. It defeats the purpose...
Ketchup and mustard definitely goes in the refrigerator after opened!
