    those last 30 seconds of you speaking about feeling energized and being grateful to have the opportunity to nourish your body with all of those beautiful plant based foods was seriously so beautiful! idk why it hit me this way but your sweet soul shines through a computer screen, which is not often achieved. keep being a positive ray of light and gratitude is ALWAYS the attitude! you're awesome girlfriend

    Your videos really helped make me a more health conscious vegan. Since I've been following your tips, I've lost extra weight and gained so much confidence that I wore a crop top for the first time - out to my sister's birthday 🙈 Thank you so much, keep doing what you're doing! 💖💕

    I am the SAME way about waiting for hunger...I used to have really bad digestion but the plant based lifestyle SAVED me!! Now I can even eat junk food every now and then without feeling sick!!

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад +1

      same! waiting to eat until I'm hungry has been a game changer. seems so simple but I would eat when I needed to because it was break time at work or because I wouldn't have time later...it really wasn't good for me and I feel so much better now

    I only started to eat vegan last week so I'm a newbie at the moment. Feeling great so far, heaps of energy and feel happier. I am trying to figure out what's whole and what's not for example a vegan burger could be made from veg and be homemade so not highly processed or from a shop and be made with thickening agents etc. Really enjoying your channel, thanks for replying!

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад

      I know what you mean. It can be a little confusing at first but think of it like this, whole foods just means foods int heir whole form. Maybe they're mashed, or sliced, or mixed with other foods in their whole forms but their still recognizable and minimally processed. So for example, a homemade veggie burger with potatoes or rice and beans or quinoa or lentils and some other veggies and spices is still eating whole, plant foods. Some store bought versions though can have filers and preservatives, etc. so I just eat less of those. I eat those foods as treat if I'm out a restaurant or cooking for my non vegan friends. The processed foods I avoid are like vegan junk foods, proceed vegan meats, some cheeses, and other foods like that because I feel best when I eat mostly fresh fruits, veggies, grains, legumes, and nuts/seeds. It can be confusing but it's actually really simple. Just try to focus on simple, whole, plant foods :)

    Looks like a great day of eating! I've recently watched a couple of Ellen's videos & have also used her idea of mashed avocado for dressing. I just bought my second bottle of that spirulina after my partner knocked the first one onto the floor, & it broke & made such a mess. I hadn't even opened it yet, so I'm looking forward to adding it into smoothies like you do. Thanks for all of your great food videos. I hope you're having a beautiful weekend! 🦋

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад +1

      Oh no! I did that with a bottle of dried rosemary recently and it was so hard to clean up! I kept finding tiny pieces of rosemary everywhere lol such a bummer. Anyway, hope you enjoy the Spirulina and have a nice week!

    Recently found your channel and I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. I have been looking into a plant based diet, and was wondering if you have any good reads recommendations for me. Thanks for all the recipes and information, you are doing a wonderful thing.

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад

      Thanks Allison! That seriously makes me SO happy! For reading I loved How Not to Die by Dr. Greger. Intense title but great book with info on a plant based diet and scientifically backed nutrition information. I especially liked the the last half of the book that breaks down what he calls Greger's Dozen. It's 12 foods he recommends eating every day, how to get them and why it's important. So helpful and interesting! He also has a great RUclips channel called nutritionfacts. org :)

  • @JessVegan
    @JessVegan 7 лет назад +1

    Loved this all the food actually looked appetising and I love how informative everything is and how you talk about digestion 👌 do you think you could do a vid where you show your macros like Bonny Rebecca's new ones for example just because iv been trying to eat w little more protein and would like to know how much I'd get eating a day like yours 😘

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад +1

      Thanks! I love the videos she makes where she shows her macros too :) I can definitely do that for you but in the meantime, if you need more protein here are my tips: Eat foods like whole grains, beans, lentils, oats, nuts, and seeds. For example oatmeal with berries and walnuts or almond butter for breakfast. Then for lunch have a kale and quinoa salad with veggies and avocado and for dinner have some whole wheat pasta with tomato sauce, lentils, mushrooms, onions, basil. Maybe a side of broccoli. Then sprinkle on some nutritional yeast or shelled hemp seeds and you should be at a pretty good amount of protein for the day. If you want to really bulk up the protein you can have things like veggie burgers. I know there's a frozen one called Beast Burger that my bf really likes and the Gardein one is good too. I personally feel the best when I eat whole, simple, plant foods but there are so many options and I find that I don't have to worry too much about one nutrient, like protein. As long as I eat a wide variety of plant foods and eat enough calories, I generally meet all of my macros with out much effort. Hope that helps! I'll talk more about this in upcoming videos :)

    • @JessVegan
      @JessVegan 7 лет назад +1

      Thanks so much for your reply and taking the time to give me detailed information like the meal examples that's SO helpful and awesome of you! I will def take your advise! I'm trying to build a lil muscle back since having daughter so need just that bit extra protein as I mainly eat carbs like most vegans haha I look forward to your video with your macros 😊 xx

    love your videos and what you ate this day :)
    just a question though, you mention spinach being a good source of calcium, but I thought the calcium isn't very available in spinach as it's bound up on oxalates?
    and also, the b12 in spirulina I've heard is a pseudo form of b12 that the body doesn't recognise?
    (genuinely curious over here. I'm a vegan :)

  • @miss_m_yt

    • @miss_m_yt
      @miss_m_yt 7 лет назад +1

      Also do you think it's worth adding flax and chia seeds to smoothies?

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад

      Yeah you can taste both of them but I find that it's not unpleasant. I actually like it because it makes t taste healthier somehow lol If you're using ripe bananas and good fruit it's very subtle :)

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад

      If you want to, go for it. They're both healthy but I find that not every smoothie needs to have every single super food I own. Sometimes I just go fruit, sometimes just fruit and spinach, sometimes fruit spinach and maca..and/or barely grass juice powder...sometimes cacao and dates and chia seeds...sometimes turmeric and ginger. It really just depends on what I'm feeling that day :)

    • @allisonadventures8293
      @allisonadventures8293 7 лет назад

      A plant-based diet is very healing for almost any gastrointestinal issue. It was really helpful in my healing from Celiac following my diagnosis but I know it is also beneficial for Crohn's Disease and IBS since it drastically reduces the amount of inflammatory foods you are consuming.

    Hi Nicole what type of vegan (if you define it) would you say you are?

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  7 лет назад

      I focus on eating whole plant foods meaning in their whole, unprocessed form as much as possible. This usually means super simple meals cooked at home with out oil (not that I eat super low fat, but I eat fats in their whole form...nuts, avocados, olives, etc) and without refined sugar (I sweeten with fruit most of the time) But when I go out or if it's a special occasion or holiday, I eat whatever vegan food I want. Pancakes, cookies, veggie burgers, nachos...whatever. The only thing I keep in mind is not eating past the point of being full. I find that's when I get a really bad stomachache and feel gross. So yeah, that was a long way of saying: whole, fresh, plant foods :) What kind of vegan are you?

    • @NikkiVegan
      @NikkiVegan  6 лет назад

      Hey girly! Eat more ☺️ if your body is telling you it’s hungry, then feed it! There’s no “right” portion size. My mom and I eat way more than most people, we have big appetites. I used to eat larger portions than my ex boyfriend too. It’s not about portion size or purposely under or overeating, it’s about listening to your body’s cues for food. Eat when you’re hungry and stop when you’re full. When you do feel hungry, try to fill up on nourishing foods like fruits, veggies, whole grains, legumes, and nuts. I do try to get big portions in and also make sure I have a mix of complex carbs, healthy fats, and protein to help reduce blood sugar spikes which make me feel that “suddenly starving” feeling. I eat often, I eat well, and I keep it simple. It’s all trial and error and it took me a while to get to a place where I learned what works for me. You’ll get there! ☺️💚

    @crystalcloudz 5 лет назад

    I really love your videos, but I am really concern about this one since you are a nutritionist... Spinach maybe does contain a lot of calcium, but also a lot of oxalates, which lowers the absorption, so it does not qualify as a calcium-rich food on a vegan diet. Also, spirulina has nonactive analogs of B12 which has been proven to don't have effects in raising B12 levels in the long run. Please, do the research about these topics.
