You could do a learn to cook for a month... subscribers could send their fave recipes and you could pick a couple each week and make from scratch! Also please try the Linda McCartney pulled pork burgers they’re so good!
Oooh will have to try those!! I acc might do a video like this, I just don’t really like cooking enough but when I’m feeling inspired I’ll add it to my list haha
I’m 20 and I’ve been veggie for 9 years and it becomes so normal after just a few months :)
I love that you filmed this video Molly, you’re so inspiring. I’m also borderline vegetarian, and honestly, not eating meat makes me feel so much “lighter”?! Like less bloated, healthier. I would love to try your meal with rice and green beans! Actually all the meals in this video make me go 🤤🤤 for breakfast what I can recommend is porridge with one half of a mashed banana and a half apple cut into small pieces, plus a half spoon of nutella. That has been my go-to veggie breakfast for a while now😍
I totttaaally agree!!! And ooh thank you for the suggestions!!
I am vegetarian for now 8 years & never felt like I am left out or so!
I got more creative with my meals & cooked more for myself !
Now I am the chef in the kitchen & it is like a hobby ✨
I call it being a ‘flexitarian’ when you’re vegetarian but are flexible if there’s no veggie options or if you really fancy something! 💕
I've been veggie for 3 years, never noticed any difference, so good for your body and the planet!
Deffo agree about it being better for your body!
It’s a shame you didn’t try cooking more of the meals that you had, especially using that cook book, and instead it was mostly takeaway/ready made meals 😊
It is but then also I really don’t like cooking and the whole month of January my motivation just wasn’t there (for anything really haha, not just cooking) but it is something that if I continue to be veggie I’ll deffo aim to do!
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me.
@Zane Ari instablaster :)
Just to let you know, that snack brand you were talking about is called ‘Deliciously Ella’, and Ella is a plant-based food blogger/RUclipsr! She has some really great recipes so would defo recommend checking her out xx
I LOVE the idea of filming this over a month! I’m in the exact same boat I’m technically a vegetarian (by label) but I’ve always said there is no pressure on me and if i fancy a mcdonalds or a wagamama then i will, but also don’t want the whole ‘oh so you’re not a veggie anymore’ personal life choices shouldn’t be impacted or pressured by others😂 You’ve got some really good veggie ideas though I’m definitely going to try a few of these out! X
I’ve been vegetarian since birth (parents met at a vegetarian club💀) n vegan the past 5 years, and I’m so happy people like you are open to the idea of eating more veggie/vegan! It is so good for the environment, animals and health (red meat is listed as a carcinogen), but I also believe people shouldn’t feel pressured to be/put a name on it! My best friend used to get so upset when she would ‘break’ her vegetarian diet and she’s realised what works for her is not putting a name on it😊 also I’m sorry to hear you’ve found January tough, me too (my uni trying to kill me off with 9 assignments due) but we got this, remember it’s always good to take a break if you ever need or want one 💗
This was so fun to watch as a vegetarian myself. Been veggie for over 5 years but it’s always great to get some new meal ideas! 🤍
The richmond veggie sausages are the best veggie sausages ahah!!
thank you so much for the constant uploads, they're getting me through lockdown and online uni... i've been here since your gcse results and you never miss! love the content molly x
Ooh how exciting! Been vegetarian for almost a year and a half now and it’s changed my life. I hope you get on well with it :)
hi! i’m thinking of going veggie, just curious to see how it changed you or anything else about it :) xx
@@ellamilly1138 I’ve been veggie for 7 months and it’s the best decision I’ve made!! Would definitely recommend purchasing some vitamin supplements and trying to incorporate high iron foods in your diet! From personal experience I’ve found that I have more energy from eating veggie food & find quorn/meat substitutes so much more filling - there’s also so many benefits for your health such as a lowered risk of heart disease! Defo give it a go you won’t regret it!!:) xx
@@ellamilly1138 hi! i’m sorry that i’ve just seen this now but if you’re still thinking about it pls go for it! Of course it takes a bit more effort and you have to get used to it but it becomes second nature after a couple of months. Physically I definitely feel healthier, less bloated and less fatigued because not eating meat causes you to think about what you’re eating in more detail and even if you don’t try to, your diet will be healthier. Best decision I’ve ever made- also I really recommend the Hairy Bikers “Veggie Feasts” book and there is tons of great recipes in there to get you used to cooking without meat. Good luck. x
@@anon5653 thanks so much for your help x
@@mariemay9870 thank you for your help! x
i’ve been veggie for almost 4 years now and (as a previous quite fussy eater) i’ve actually found its helped me to branch out into new foods! i struggled a little bit early on (because if you put it into perspective, veganism has only really gained popularity in the last 2/3 years) but i find the options now are so great and varied! some restaurants i do still struggle with (steakhouses come to mind and drive throughs like you mention) but at the same time - it’s not like i’m being forced to eat there/in drive throughs like worst comes to worse you can just get some chips and you’re sorted. would deffo recommend trying quorn southern fried bites if you haven’t already!
Yeah that’s all so true and such a fair point - I do think eating out would have made it slightly more difficult but you’re right it’s defffoooo got a lot better and more varied recently!!cx
Love that! Honestly same when I went veggie to vegan 5 years ago, I weirdly found it to be less restrictive and it helped me overcome my ED. Oo have you tried the vegan KFC burger with McDonald’s fries n Coke? It’s a vibe 🤌
@@lucym9962 that’s such an achievement, well done! ❤️ i haven’t tried the kfc burger yet as i live in the middle of nowhere and obviously haven’t really had a reason to go out much at the moment but will definitely give it a try if i ever have a reason to go into town!
I love this! I've been vegetarian for going on 8 years now and it just becomes so normal. There are SO many choices out there now in restaurants and in supermarkets that it makes it really easy (if not a little overwhelming!) to at least try it out. I've just finished a month of going vegan and it was also easy to do! Love these videos :)
I did this too and defo gonna stick with it for a while honestly made me feel so much better after eating like don’t get indigestion or stomach aches anymore which was so unexpected!! Veggies for the win x ps loved the vid as per
I absolutely love when you do these types of videos! The dedication that goes into them is unreal, loved this so much💗
Thank you so much this is so lovely 🥺🥺
Loved this video and the food you included in it ! The food all looked so so delish !!! Particularly loving all your videos at the moment. You're also looking radianttttt girl (as ever!) xo
So exited to watch this to see how you've been getting on with it ! Lots of love I hope you are well and lots of love to anyone who may need it 💜💕
Molly 🤝 taking mo farrahs place for the quorn adverts 😂😭
😂😂😂😂
Have you ever tried tofu? That can be a good replacement for chicken xx would love to see more videos using the vegan BOSH! cookbook.
I did veganuary this January and I found it pretty difficult but very enjoyable. I’m similar to you and don’t really eat meat anyway but I found being vegan requires a lot more planning. When out and about for example your choices are a lot more limited. I swapped to oat milk which I enjoyed however I missed cheese quite a bit and vegan cheese just isn’t the same. It was definitely worth doing though and I think I’ll be doing it every January
I became vegetarian when I was 4 due to loving animals been it ever since but went vegan in September and would never go back! It’s nice to see people trying more veggie/vegan food!
I’m so open to trying it because I genuinely prefer a lot of it!!! Well done for doing it for such a long time!!xx
@@MollyThompsonx_ I agree there are lots of nice alternatives about! And thank you xx
the intro gives me saffron barker vibes lol
Literally was thinking tgat
in a good way or a bad way lol
This was so interesting! seeing how well you've done keeping it up! I've been veggie for 23 years (all my life) also my parents met through being veggie through the vegetarian society magazine!
i’m going veggie this month and i can’t wait! so this video was very convenient ahah 💕
Why the hell was I like, oh maybe I should try this!
Bitch I've been veggie for 5 years wtf 😂
To replace your Vitamin D supplements, you can get a lot of it from oil-based food like houmous, butter/margarine etc. Btw I have been vegetarian since June 2019 and planning on going vegan at uni in September. I wanted to do veganuary but Mum stamped down on that one (all the rest of my family are meat-eaters)
You can get food poisoning from any food and anywhere (surfaces etc). I got it from a margarita pizza from dominos a few years ago. Its not just from chicken. You can also get it from contact so if something has the bacteria on and this touches something else you can catch it even if you didn't come into contact with the original thing.
Very true, in my extremely emetaphobic mind meat just reduces the chances of jt happening but I know it can come from anywhere haha x
@@MollyThompsonx_ it’s actually more rare for you to get it from meat than other places. Water is the most common source.
Hi Molly! I love your videos! Well done for doing this and showing how important it is for us all to start making choices that help the environment, I have a stomach allergy to milk so I haven’t had milk in a few years, no choc or cheese😢 I also hate meat really apart from occasionally chicken! But whenever I don’t eat vegan, people are always messaging me and commenting on it because they are like ‘oh I thought you were vegan’ and it’s frustrating because I eat vegan 90% of the time and I never have milk projects of course and then you get people commenting on that 10% like you’re a lier or something, so I totally get where you’re coming from with not wanting to label yourself!❤️ I hope feb is a better month for you!:)
We started vegan (2nd try) on Boxing Day and we are still going strong! I can't discern any health benefits nor ailments so far. No significant weight gain nor loss. The waller is significantly lighter, but we were n00bs at first and now we are finding ways to stay closer to the old budget. We have had minor blips (a jelly candy that is vegan except for an insect dung that is used to seal the candies!) but it has been mostly proper.
My dad did get a rash after eating one of the meat replacements - we tried a few at roughly the same time and stopped on all of them, so I can't say which was the culprit. Cheese has been the only stickler - in Switzerland they are quite proud of their real cheeses and vegan cheese is difficult to find!
Ahhh so much inspo😍🤤 I’ve been vegi for 5 years now and it was such an easy transition!
I’ve been vegetarian coming up 2 years now and still realise random things that aren’t vegetarian which are so random! Things like pots of joy, Parmesan, pesto(can get vegetarian version!), jelly etc etc can be so frustrating as you would never guess them to have meat in them!
I literally love your videos so so much, you are so amazing xx
Thank you so much 🥺🥵
I’ve been veggie for 3 years and I really recommend ‘15 minute vegan’ by Katy Bescow - she has so many easy and delicious meals that are majorly made up of ingredients you would most likely have in your house! (And if you hate cooking it’s mostly healthy and quick so would be perfect:))
I make and eat a lot of veggie foods! You should definitely try things like puffed tofu (its like what you get in Wagamama's pad Thai) or using block tofu as a substitute for meals - you can use it in stir fries, I Made 'tofish and chips' too as it's a super easy substitute
I wishhh I liked tofu I just really don’t! Might need to try it cooked some different ways though haha x
I loveddd this!!! You should try the aunt bessie veggie toad in the hole i live for that with my roast dinner every week!🤍🤍
I've been veggie since I was 12 (I'm 22 now lmao) and it feels so natural to me now. I'd actually say I am 90% vegan because I prefer vegan options/vegan mock meats to veggie ones. I agree with the label thing so much, I used to be fully vegan and was for almost three years until last year when I found the label so restrictive for my eating recovery and now I am just vibing somewhere in between veggie and vegan and I find it so much more healthier for me! also, i do the same thing with oranges i dont think it's weird hahaha!
Loved this and it’s great that you’re showing how easy it can be :) if you go to Aldi then they do great vegan pizzas that are a really easy swap and the Linda McCartney hoisin duck kit is a game changer for having a fake-away Chinese xxx
Also I’ve found for something like a salad, the baked glory roast tender strips are the best chicken replacement (sometimes quorn is a bit dry if it’s not in a sauce) so I would 100% recommend
I went vegetarian for a month last January.. and a year later I’m still veggie and I love it
i did the same this year and i’m defo going to carry on! x
@@bellemiller7544 really puts everything in perspective❤️ won’t be going back x
@@megniamh7707 it’s so easy as well! there are so many options and it’s so good for the planet. i’m loving it💖
Eeeek I’ve been so excited for this one!!!! ❤️
Hope you enjoy!!c
I've been veggie for a few years and another thing you have to watch is in thai curry sauces, a lot of them have fish sauce.
I mostly turned veggie bc I’m scared of food poisoning a lot but also bc my mum is veggie and tbh it was just a gradual reluctance to choose meat and ive not looked back since and don’t miss it! I know it’s for real when I smelt chicken curry and I felt nauseous. I admire anyone who replaces meat with a veggie substitute even just once a week!
i was vegetarian for roughly a year and a half, only made the switch back to meat because i was hungover and legit dying i craved a maccies big mac and never looked back ffs haha x
I’ve been veggie for two years and now I can’t imagine going back!
I love your piercings 💯 this was great ❤️x
Thank you so much omg!!
It's crazy how good veggie replacements are I try n be vegan as much as I can now cos I became obsessed with greggs vegan range 😂
please do some more food related videos!
Coming in February 🥵💗
well done! I did veganuary for the month and I'm the same with meat like really suprised I didn't miss it! I did a whole series on my channel documenting it! Probably going to try and stay vegetarian at least!! xx
literally love your videos
Thank you so much ☺️
It took me years to realise that Quorn was the brand name too haha! These meals looked great 💕
i did this too and i don’t miss meat at all, apart from when restaurants open i think that’s when i’ll find it hard 🙈 I’m a plain jane and I find veggie options a bit too exotic to me at restaurants 🤷🏽♀️😂
I always thought it was normal to grate cheese on chilli con carne 😂
They do vitamin d tablets in aldi xx
I’ve been veggie all January and can’t wait to continue it !
I eat cheese with chilli con carne and i only suc oranges 😂😂
Omg twins😂😂😂
It's 11pm and now I'm wanting a stir fry 🤤🤤 that looked lush! Xx
No offence but this video basically told us that you have to have a ready meal if you want to be veggie, or a takeaway. I've been veggie for a year and a half and I found there's so much more to veggie meals than that. It's fine if you're not keen on cooking, but why bother in the first place with the cooking videos? Do videos you're more passionate about.
I actually did something like this when I was younger and stayed vegetarian ever since!
quorn really isnt the only widely available meat sub 🥲
I know, it’s just my favourite haha
can you do the vegan challenge?? love you xxx
i did the exact same! and i think i’m going to carry on !!
is there any numbers or anything mentioned in here?? ik molly is usually the best for not including this but just wanted to make sure before i watch as i’ve had this issue with other veggie videos, ty
Numbers as in calories?? If that’s what you mean then no nothing weight related is mentioned x
Love you xx
Tempted to try this!!
Do it!! It was a lot easier than I thought xx
Feel the same January went so slow. xx
I did vegetarian January and found that I don’t actually like meat replacements, but I really enjoyed it and I felt so much better for it. So other then the bacon sandwich that I had on the 1st 😂 I’m going to try and be 98% vegetarian
I totally get this!! And I think anything is better than nothing for sure haha
I have the exact same where I won't eat meat in a restaurant for sake of food poisoning without having it, such a mad fear. Chicken burgers always look banging at a burger place, one day maybe 😶
Yes try vegan for a month! Best thing I ever did 🌱
I feel like you would enjoy being vegan adjacent where you cut out red meat and dairy but still have fish and white meat and eggs etc, especially seeing as the dairy and red meat industries are the most harmful for both the environment and the animals
quick question, do you have to defrost the quorn?
It depends if you buy it frozen from the supermarket or from the fridges - it doesn’t last as long if you keep it in the fridge but I do also think it can be cooked in a pan straight from frozen! (Thats how I always used to cook it and never had any issues)
I want to go vegetarian but most meat replacers all contain gluten which I'm allergic to! Love this video Molly x
Ahhh that’s frustrating!! I know they definitely have a section in Morrison’s where it’s a free from fridge with veggie/vegan stuff in it thst is also gluten free - burgers and sausages etc! Have a look if you’ve not tried Morrison’s but otherwise that’s frustrating hahaa
@@MollyThompsonx_ Yeh Morrisons free from is generally really good!
If you fancy a challenge, go gluten free for a week! 💕
Omg 10th person to like love u B S xxx
amazing video and sometimes it's good to trying new food and cutting out meat as well
Well done 👍 I don’t think I could have done ✅ this please stay safe love from John
do you have Invisalign?
Diet challenge: going gluten free! I can’t eat gluten and I’m always looking for recommendations
Ooooh this would probably be really helpful for me to try haha
Same boat here! I'd definitely recommend @beckyexcell on Instagram/blog posts for amazing gluten free inspiration! She's also got a book being released in a few weeks of all GF cooking/baking😊
Ooo well done ! I’ve been vegan for 3 years and veggie for 3 years before that and I have an Instagram @lillybvegan where I share all my vegan tips if you wanted some more inspo ! Xx
Try the new vegan kfc burger! 10/10
10,000 calorie challenge !
I know you've said you don't really enjoy cooking but home cooked food will tasty a lot better than microwave meals so I wanted to recommend Nanya Florence cause she makes the most delicious simple vegan dishes that I think you'd really enjoy. She's also a student so it's never anything too expensive either

I wish I wasn't allergic to Quorn :(((
