If you're having trouble with the quality of the video try on mobile, chrome or update your current browser. I'm curious to know if you did have any issues. Sorry if you did. I'm not sure if you noticed but this video was filmed on a new camera! The channel had a great few months so we decided to upgrade to bring the highest quality video to you. We went from our Canon M50 to the Sony A7C. #sorrycanon Apparently I have some learning to do as it seems to have uploaded in a different format. Learning as I go, the only way to do it!
Hey Derek. I'm a young teen lifter and you were one of my inspirations to go vegan. I've been following the vegan lifestyle for over a year now. Thanks for all the great content.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that it would take A LOT more than a faint hissing noise to EVER give you negative feedback. So don’t worry! This was great 💪😊👌🌲
Love me a Simnett vlog! Still living that good vegan fitness life! I discovered hill sprints on my cycle during lockdown. Love em so much I’ve kept em in. Hope to catch up with you at Vegan Campout next month if you can make it!
Do you sometimes consider going back to (trail) running again or maybe picking up other sports/activities. Also, celebrating four years veganism (after being vegetarian for twenty years) this month thanks to you. Keep up the amazing work! You are a great model and make the world better
Hey Derek, I'm a full time dancer and your videos are always inspiring me to eat better to fuel my active lifestyle! You always have the best meal ideas & hacks
I love the full day of eating/working out videos--excellent inspiration! I've enjoyed your videos for years, but I have to say they have been really outstanding this past year. The amount of work you put in definitely shows!
Thank you so much! I've kind of settled on uploading 1 video a week (although I want to bring back the 2 vids/week) and it keeps me in a good flow, but I do feel pressured to make sure it's a good one if it's the only upload that week. I'm glad the effort comes through, I take a lot of pride in my videos so thank you!
I injured my back 3 months ago. 'If you don't use it, you lose it' is hitting me especially hard right now. Going through physio, lost a ton of strength and flexibility. Idk when I'll be able to run again, but I'm working hard towards it. It's the light at the end of the tunnel for me. 🏃♀️
Ah dang. Sorry to hear, but good on you for doing the work! I wasn't at all referring to people who are disabled for any reason, I hope it came across. I just noticed in myself that it starts to go, and I know it's tough to get it back. All the best on your recovery, I have faith in you.
@@Simnettnutrition Oh no, I didn't take any offense! It's the stupidest thing, woke up one morning and I must have pulled something in my back while I slept. Had major back spasms on and off for 3 months. I think the worst is past now, but now I have to rebuild to where I was. I love living vicariously through your nature vlogs even when I feel well! But I can def attest to losing strength and flexibility quickly when you don't (or can't) use it.
Your recipes look delicious, and I like how you use simple ingredients that are already in your kitchen, so you don't have to go out and buy all new ingredients to make a dish. And your videos inspire me to add more raw veggies to all of my meals!
Thanks for the inspiration! I’m 55 and still play soccer on Sundays with the young guys so I can get in my sprints. When I’m chasing down the ball, I feel like I’m in my 20s again. Plants have totally jacked up my endurance and recovery.
I am just now becoming a vegan but I am glad to see that's sorry milk is acceptable cause I've been using it for years. Everyone talks about how bad it is but it's helped me Is going through menopause.👍🏽💯
Thank you Theo! We got a new camera and lens and it's much kinder on my features. Lol. Don't tell Crystal how beautiful she is, one day she will realize and leave me. ;)
@@Simnettnutrition naw she realizes the goodness in you along with the silliness and cuteness 😍 She knows you're what us girls call A keeper worth holding onto
Seems in a lot of your older videos, u would mention in passing..."oh theres a squirrel, hes so cute" or something, and keep moving...& i was always shouting...NOOO! GO BACK MATE! FILM THE SQUIRRELLYGUYS!! SHOWW USSS THE TREECRITTERS DEREK!! (am an Aussie, never seen squirrels, hence the madlove & fascination) then today... awww ...you INTERACTED with one! man i was squealing in delight! LOVE how u have a treat jar & water jar for them, SO kind & considerate! THANKYOU Derek, for filming that little snacking sweety~pie, it was lovely! (of course its nothing to do with food or fitness but it feels like u actually HEARD the pleas from us animal lovers in your critter-crazy crew! lol)
I used to halve apples and take out the core. Then put a spoonful of peanut butter in the hollow. My kids loved them, called them "peanut butter in a hole". They made them for their children too.
Great idea. I am going to sprint a bit. I was running with my 5yr old granddaughter who said “Nani your so slow” 😳🤣. So I caught up to her and tapped her and then tripped and fell 😳. I need to practice running again.
Hi Derrick and Crystal, love your content. Always so positive, eating so clean, you two seem very respectful to each other, your nature is astounding !! So grounded and humble, no pretense - so enjoy it! And best is when you’re going out on adventures and you say: "…And you’re coming with me!" It’s like "Yay, we’re going with!" 🤣🤣, Just love you guys. Keep it coming. You’re changing lives, lifting people, saving lives, restoring health, entertaining and making smiles, sharing care!
Vitamin N 😁!!! ... So cool and so true 🙂😊😇!!! Thanks for yet another superb video and sharing your infectious energy... 🤗 All the very best to you guys and never stop with the excellent work anf passion for... everything really (I wad gonna day food but it extends so much more to Nature, sports etc)!!!
I love that vitamin N way of thinking. Iv'e always felt like its crucial to go outside regularly. I Instantly feel happier when I go outside even if its not the nicest looking day.
I prefer a homemade dressing to anything store bought nowadays since they all seem to have too much salt and oil, and my go-to recipe is pretty similar to yours. Tahini, water, lemon juice, hummus, nooch, stone ground mustard, onion/garlic powder, paprika, etc. I don't usually add dates because I'm often too lazy to use my blender, but I've added dates before and it's awesome! That pattypan squash is picture perfect 🖼💛
I agree with Chrystal (sp?); I love water, but it has to be clear, or better yet a swimming pool. Things swimming in the water with me really freaks me out (I know I'm strange 🙃). Thanks for showing us your Day of Eating; I got some good ideas.
I do eat a bit of pasta naturally because I am Italian. But my favorite carbohydrate sources to eat or oatmeal which I have for breakfast every single day of the week no matter what. And I also love potatoes which are my second favorite carbohydrate source. They are very filling for very few calories. And come on! Who doesn’t love potatoes?
I used to be a big time runner. Like lot’s of miles and I even did all races. Then I got arthritis.I had to get hip surgery. So now I do some walking . But do yoga with weight lifting everyday . I usually eat oatmeal filled with blueberries and a banana. Unsweetened almond milk. And a smoothie filled with blackberries and blueberries and a banana.. with some organic protein powder ! Thank you for sharing your amazing day with working out and recipes. I’m just starting out with ny new lifestyle of plant based foods. How does everyone eat vegan in restaurants??
Yes paddy pans are supper. First time I ate those I was 15yrs old. I absolutely love them. My sister cut them in chunks, steamed them then added salt, pepper & little real butter. I need to plant myself paddy pan plants. Did you ever wonder - - Why dont stores sell them???. Your video was great as usual. I like your nature hikes. Have a great day!! God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
I just ordered black lentils they are so good ….and they kept their shape ..cooked them with a little chicken bouillon powder the red one and little cayenne pepper…
Yasss! Saucony, babyyy!!! LOVE Saucony brand! Feels like walking on air. 👟 👍🏻💕. Omg the squirrel 🐿. He’s so cute!! And 🤣 at the slippery avocado 🥑. Another great video 👍🏻
I had never heard of nor considered Apple + PB til I met my husband as a teen and he made it as a snack for us. I was like WHAAAAAA...?!?! 15 Years later its the only way 1 of our kiddos will enjoy his apples 😆😆
Besides always being inspired by the meals you create, I most appreciate how positive you are and it really fills me with some good vibes for my day. Thank you! 💕
Love your videos. They are so informative and motivating. I love all the recipes too. Gives me a lot of variety on my vegan journey. I am 60 years old and vegan for 3+ years. So far, I've lost 80 pounds. Going vegan was the best thing I ever did. I started watching you and Crystal 3 years ago. I love all the scenery outdoors. What a beautiful location.
Crystal is so cute. So glad she’s part of the videos. Also - your videos are super helpful for me to cook more for my husband who obviously eats way more than me 😂 Thanks Derek!

Yea it didn’t work for me
It says no stream tap to retry for me on the youtube app, but on safari it works. So try that or vice-versa 👍
I didn't have any issues. I'm on mobile.
I'm on mobile. The video quality is really good.
You got it right there dude! 😉
Hey Derek. I'm a young teen lifter and you were one of my inspirations to go vegan. I've been following the vegan lifestyle for over a year now. Thanks for all the great content.
Way to go man! I hope you feel great. Thanks for the comment.
U have a Sad life brainwashed by vegans
Awww... the squirrel is so cute❤️
I know! So it's a boy for sure, I found out yesterday. :| He has a really long tail so we call him lil' LT. Little long tail. Lol.
@@Simnettnutrition love it! LT ❤️😁
For your age, you certainly don't look your age at all, as a compliment, you look too young to be true! ❤️😎💪
Love hanging out with you on the other side of the screen Derek! ❤️
Hopefully it feels that way!
I think I speak for all of us when I say that it would take A LOT more than a faint hissing noise to EVER give you negative feedback. So don’t worry! This was great 💪😊👌🌲
I love when you guys take us along on adventures. I said slippery avocado before you did lol. I told my daughter we need to get some vitamin N.
Love me a Simnett vlog! Still living that good vegan fitness life! I discovered hill sprints on my cycle during lockdown. Love em so much I’ve kept em in. Hope to catch up with you at Vegan Campout next month if you can make it!
Eat meat Hench!
@@MrJavacash u ok?
Tickets are sold out. It cost 50 pounds or 70 dollars.
Do you sometimes consider going back to (trail) running again or maybe picking up other sports/activities. Also, celebrating four years veganism (after being vegetarian for twenty years) this month thanks to you. Keep up the amazing work! You are a great model and make the world better
vegan diets = sugar sugar sugar.
@@MrJavacash I think you need to get your brain checked. Something made you write the same word three times in a row. That does not seem healthy.
Slippery avos, cute squirrels and beautiful nature! What more could I want?!😊
I recommend starting potatoes in cold water to cook them more evenly and gently! Plus no scare of splashing boiling water :)
you are absolutely right!
Grown below the ground - cold water for cooking, grown above the ground - hot water. Simple
The squirrels must love you guys for the water and snacks. Pears and any nutbutter is indeed delicious! Especially with a bit of cinnamon.
vegans only eat sugar it's terrible!
@@MrJavacash get a life
This part of the video was so sweet!
Derek the animal whisperer😂🐿 it brings me so much joy watching you guys. Especially when you are happy. That makes me so happy too💛
Hey Derek, I'm a full time dancer and your videos are always inspiring me to eat better to fuel my active lifestyle! You always have the best meal ideas & hacks
Thanks for the info! I am able to view now on my phone. Wasn’t able to on my super old iPad😊
The clap 👏🏼 chopped veg was pretty slick. 👍🏼
Good food. Good company. Love nature. We live 15 min. from the coast and live in a 2000 acre wildlife sanctuary with a river through it. Very blessed.
My daughter's fav snack is apple w peanut butter.
Healthy and nutritious food your daughter has got great taste!
Scallopini is what the yellow squash is sometimes called

Derek you always bring good vibes to your videos. I enjoy watching your content
The banana hat... genius. -- laughing at your peanut butter combos!
You are so real! Please never change that about you. I have bought the tahini, so it’s finally time to try your dressing recipe.
Thanks for the inspiration! I’m 55 and still play soccer on Sundays with the young guys so I can get in my sprints. When I’m chasing down the ball, I feel like I’m in my 20s again. Plants have totally jacked up my endurance and recovery.
Tip - soak the date for an hour or 2 before adding to your dressing. It dissolves in the dressing rather than chunks.
I am just now becoming a vegan but I am glad to see that's sorry milk is acceptable cause I've been using it for years. Everyone talks about how bad it is but it's helped me Is going through menopause.👍🏽💯
Thanks Derek, your videos always motivate me to eat more rainbows and plants. 😄
Peanut butter and apple sandwich is a yummy combo for me. Love hanging out with you and Crystal in the Vitamin N surroundings!
Yes you are right! A little cinnamon too. Thanks for the nice comment.
Love this style of video. Btw you look good today! And so does Crystal, she looks like an absolute goddess. 😊
Thank you Theo! We got a new camera and lens and it's much kinder on my features. Lol. Don't tell Crystal how beautiful she is, one day she will realize and leave me. ;)

Peanut butter with celery is so good. My grandmother made it for our snack
Yep, for me running is the most impressev thing a human can do. Like running long or fast. Super impressive for me.
Always a pleasure hanging out with you!
