I never watch TV, hardly ever watch RUclips, am otherwise completely off of Social Media, and yet I find myself consistently looking forward to your videos...they are always outstanding!
It's so hard to not like you Derek... You're a smiley face with such an amazing grounded personality... You always sound so friendly and positive... I dunno.. I'm running out of words but fine.. You're also very smart.. You two rock!! Love you Derek and crystal !!
Bananas and peanut butter are a match made in heaven, one of my go-to food duos for the past 2 or so years. Whether it's for a smoothie, sandwich, or a bowl of oatmeal, they always go great together.
Your videos keep getting better and better each time. My fave part was watching you harvest your potatoes, tomatoes and beets. That's a huge inspiration for us who want to start growing our own food. Thank you!
It's the best feeling ever when you harvest something you grew yourself, and it tastes so much better. I couldn't help but smile watching you harvest those potatoes, I can't wait to do some next year.
100% yes to everyone working as a server (or other customer service positions)!!! Such an important life skill. And I totally get the pure joy of digging potatoes - one of my favorite garden jobs. ☺️
One thing I NEVER thought I would say is...I actually like tofu now. I used to HATE tofu so I just didn't really eat it. I'd eat it once in a while if I felt I had a really good recipe (like your lasagna). But I tried it recently completely raw and unseasoned and it didn't taste bad. I actually didn't mind the flavor. I know taste buds can change over time but this one took me by surprise.
@@xxxmellsbellsxxx That could be. I'm pretty sure I got the kind I had before but maybe not. There was a long period of time where my store didn't sell any tofu at all.
i just noticed that too! i used to always try tofu prepared in different ways, expecting it to grow on me, only to go "yeah still not my thing." but now one of my favorite foods right now has been unpressed, unmarinated, extra firm tofu, cubed up real small and pan fried in a little oil. so good in pasta!!!
…love you both, & oh, how I look forward to our every “connection”! Thanks for the recipes/meal ideas/nutrition tips/beautiful surroundings & for sharing your lil adventures, but most of all Derek, thanks to you & to Crystal for keeping it real & kind & gentle. 💜
I love your content so much - just makes my day every single time! Good energy, great food, fantastic adventure... Also, I 100% agree everyone should work in services for some time - otherwise you're just so unaware that the other person is actually a human too and has emotions, struggles with stuff sometimes, makes mistakes etc.
Nothing makes me happier than one of Derek's videos popping up on my notifications! I have gotten so many ideas for meals and workouts from him and Crystal and I'm so glad they're on RUclips 😊They have helped me when my meals started to get boring! I love how creative they are with the meals!
I love your potato harvest. 😊 They are my favorite thing to grow because the harvest is sooo fun. I planted 10 and harvested 120 three months later my first year. 😁
Wow! Beautiful harvest! Your and Crystal’s excitement over the potatoes was awesome. It does seem like a miracle to get so many potatoes from one sprouting potato. Excellent day of eating, too. Such vibrant and delicious-looking meals.👏🤩
It is such a joy to watch you and Crystal together, you have such a soothing dynamic! Thanks for showing the soy free tofu, I am going to have to search for it. Now off to save the buffalo sauce recipe!!
Growing your own food is one of the very best feelings! Digging for potatoes is like finding treasure! Keep on trying new things and it'll ever fail to impress!
Love your videos, for sure. Such nice vibes from you and Crystal. I enjoyed the intro, that was different and funny. Thank you and keep it up, please. ^^
Growing potatoes is so fun!! Such a fun surprise harvesting them….like digging for treasure! Nice job on your tomatoes and that beet was definitely a prize winner. We have Vegan friends over from the mainland that are RV’ing in Parksville. Thanks for sharing about the Refillery, they are going to check it out.
Love your videos. You & Crystal make your content so interesting & a pleasure to watch. I think I was as excited about digging up those potatoes from your garden as you were! Yum!
I would eat the salad but I would also eat some tortilla on a side😄. Btw. the intro looked so professionally edited!! And yet I'm so glad your videos are still so real and natural, thanks! Now stuck at home with covid, your videos keep me smiling and laughing... Virtual (covid-safe) hugs from Czech Republic!
I remember doing that with a red potato once. I randomly planted a sprouted one in one of my potted plants and when I went to replant it awhile later I found a bunch of red potatoes! I was totally happily surprised😍
Love all your recipes and can't wait to try your stir fry!! Your homegrown veg looks amazing. Bravo! By the way, don't throw those beet grens away. Wash them and sautee like spinach - SUPER nutritious. Also, you can plant 3-4 beet seeds in the same hole. Beets will push apart from each other as they grow with no issues. Look forward to your next video. Thx!
Good for you for making it to the papers! Congrats, you deserve it!! And I completely agree about those of us who have been servers before, you can always tell.
New subscriber here. I can’t tell you how helpful your videos are! They’ve given me a lot of ideas on what to eat, and how to make sauces and dressings, etc. Thank you!
I have been watching your channel for 6 years and we are definitely the same when it comes to this Vegan lifestyle which has changed my life. I love ❤️ every video you put out and learn something different every time 🙌🏼😎🤘🏼
Me too. However, I am not the same: I've been on Derek's protocols for about 6 years and have not been able to achieve the same body. IDK if I should increase my chickpeas and lentils consumption or reintroduce tofu and tempeh into my diet again.Just wanna be as swole as Derek.
I threw 1-2 sprouted potatoes in each 5 gal bucket...potatoes! potatoes! potatoes! Better than not planting at all! So awesome! Good for you guys! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Omg! I did not pick up on the kitties names before! Pollie and Ollie, how cute is that?❤ Love you guys! Ps.- Go Crystal and her pullups! Strong badass girl!
Looks AMAZING. The colour of that green smoothie, the burrito, wow! We will be making that tomorrow! My partner is also the wrap guy and I'm the burrito bowl girl :p funny. Thanks and congrats on making it into the newspaper!! You deserve it!! Get those 1M subscribers :)
Derek! What wraps do you use? All the healthy ones fall apart instantly so I just use whatever wraps work for me. I'm willing to make that my unhealthy concession but if there's a healthier wrap that works better I'd rather do that. Great vid! I'm gonna be making these as my lunch this week!
Thank you so much for all of your authentic content! Beets prefer to be cluster grown like you did so that's for a win! More beets in less space so more nutritious food for less effort👌
I loved this video so much! The potatoes and bulk bin store, food, kitties, you and Crystal. Makes me happy (and... Goals... Miss gardening! Tough in the desert SW) .
very encouraging thank you for sharing. Recently found in my vegan youtube searchings :) have now been watching you for a few weeks maybe. Anyways enjoying and learning and again thank you encouraged..you guys are the cutest 💖 made me smile so hard watching you all harvest those potatoes. I am an avid gardener and absolutely love gardening and the healing it provides both for nourishment but also working in the garden touching the sole is very healing as well. Yal are gems :) thanks again for the smile...cant wait to see your potatoe patch thisssss summer cuz this is from last summer.....So wheres the potatoe patch hehehehe?
I just told my I am going vegan all in.and I told her I want her to join me! Another great vedio Derek. I just bought tofu at our Walmart. More lettuce. I threw away my ranch
I saw someone make oatmeal and a smoothie bowl mixes same bowl. I really liked the warm and cold mixture in a bowl. Haven’t mixed together but I liked the separate
I enjoy your videos even though I am not your regular viewer. I am almost 75 but learn things from you. I started watching when you explained the benefits of different nutrients. I watch Chef AJ every day and I think you should contact her. you would be good on her show. She likes vegans, especially whole food plant based, no oil. The audience loves to here your story of becoming vegan, what you do, eat, etc. she does not like to reach out to people because she does not like rejection. But write her and tell one if her viewers suggested you contact her. Her audience would love you. Send her this video. It was a great mix of things, along with the love of animals.
I never watch TV, hardly ever watch RUclips, am otherwise completely off of Social Media, and yet I find myself consistently looking forward to your videos...they are always outstanding!
I love that! I am trying to cut down my consumption as well.
Same!! I never watch a video from this channel and come away feeling bad! X
It's so hard to not like you Derek...
You're a smiley face with such an amazing grounded personality... You always sound so friendly and positive... I dunno.. I'm running out of words but fine..
You're also very smart..
You two rock!!

You must have been HUNGRY! Haha, just joking. Glad to hear, and yes that lasagna is so good!
I find different brands taste better than others, so that may have something to do with it also? Tofu is the best!

Wish we had a refillable store around here, Denver, Colorado, USA, the concept is terrific. Thanks for another great video, Derek and Krystal!
I click on these videos faster than I hit snooze on my alarm clock
Too kind! I appreciate it. Full Day Of Eating #177 and your still watching!
Me too!!
@@Simnettnutrition I'm confused. I thought you were making a burrito. Your picture showed up.
@@Simnettnutrition Never mind.
I love seeing Crystal getting stronger! Heck yeah, super motivating 💪🏼😄
Loved the editing in this video too! ✨
such a positive vibeeeeeee!!! im actually raw vegan but watch your videos for the positive energy!!!
I love hearing that! I could probably benefit from more raw! I just LOOOOVE COOKING!
I love your potato harvest. 😊 They are my favorite thing to grow because the harvest is sooo fun. I planted 10 and harvested 120 three months later my first year. 😁

Your enthusiasm about the potatoes is just too cute!
Congrats on being in the paper. And I just watched that Buffalo recipe you made. And I love burritos. It's like your reading my mind 🧠
Thank you! Haha, good timing.
Love your videos, for sure. Such nice vibes from you and Crystal. I enjoyed the intro, that was different and funny. Thank you and keep it up, please. ^^
Great vlog! I liked the re-introduction at the beginning. Glad you're reaching some new audiences too!

Crystal is becoming a beast in a good way❤️
Hi, do you take the complement vitamin? I'm interested in it for me and my husband. What's your thoughts on it?
Love your videos. You & Crystal make your content so interesting & a pleasure to watch. I think I was as excited about digging up those potatoes from your garden as you were! Yum!
Haha, little nuggets just popping out of the ground! It was so cool. :D Thanks for the comment and watching.
Couldn’t agree more at 11:50 onwards

Homegrown potatoes are a true delicacy! Fun video today.
They were super flavourful. I was surprised. Super creamy too. I believe the term for potatoes is waxy?
The heart wants what the heart wants. The burrito and the bowl both look delicious.
The channel has the BEST sauces and dressings you can find. Easy, delicious, flexible.
Heyyyy, my favorite couple. Hope all is well with you and your family. I always enjoy spending virtual time with you and Crystal. 🥰😊🥰
🥔 Those potatoes are so perfect!! I’m totally with Crystal on the wraps 🌯 thing, I would choose a big bowl too! 🍲 Thanks for more awesome inspo! X

Hey there! This looks soooo yummy!!!! All your food looks amazing!Going to have to try it for sure!
Thank you! Glad to give you some ideas!
Loved watching you harvest your potatoes 🥰. The one potato that you said was bad, will be the one you planted - the “seed” potato 🙂
I love the "refillery" and can do a lot of this at my local food co-op!
Love your videos! I especially like the idea of making shakes to get in your daily greens 🥬!
Love the positivity of your videos!!!
Thanks for your weekly videos.
I threw 1-2 sprouted potatoes in each 5 gal bucket...potatoes! potatoes! potatoes! Better than not planting at all! So awesome! Good for you guys! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
I've really learned some interesting tips on how to make tofu taste like heaven. Thanks much.
Thanks both 😊
Totally agree about being a server once in life for everyone ❤️
That bowl actually looks amazing!
Wow Derek, what a blockbuster did you create for this week! 😍🔥
Fantastic video Derek 👊
That looks so rewarding...growing your own food, especially eating it straight out the ground, I bet the taste was beautiful.
great video - so fun to watch your channel!!
Thank you for all that you do.
You guys are the best.
Omg! I did not pick up on the kitties names before! Pollie and Ollie, how cute is that?❤ Love you guys! Ps.- Go Crystal and her pullups! Strong badass girl!
I really look forward to Sunday morning videos ❤️

Much love from Mexico, thank you for these amazing ideas
Thanks to you, I make a stir fry everyday. I use edemame for my protein because other legumes are very hard for me to digest.
I'm team Buddha bowl / Smoothie bowl. Gotta make sure EVERY bite tastes equal!
Love you 💯
Congrats for the newspaper. Hope that turns into lots more subscribers. Love Crystals observation of easy to eat
Love the garden. Congratulations on your growing success.
A great video. Loved the gardening. A fresh homegrown potato is so tender and yummy. The meals look yum, except the cilantro. Shudder.
Congratulations on your gardening success. 💚🌱🇨🇦💪. I am with Crystal on this one. I will take a bowl over a wrap anytime. 👍👍
I just ordered soy curls for the first time. I cannot wait to try them 😊
I'll never get tired of "what I eat in a day" videos!!
Nice job on your potatoes! I also bought tomatoes. Spicy mustard 😊
Great videos , great content , great vibe , thank you v much for it .. and keep up the good work

Always great videos and great ideas. Thank you
I’d love to see more gardening in your videos - specifically what you use for compost, fertiliser and how you keep bugs and slugs at bay. 🌱🥔🍅🍠
Love the recipes my man.
I just told my I am going vegan all in.and I told her I want her to join me! Another great vedio Derek. I just bought tofu at our Walmart. More lettuce. I threw away my ranch
Vivo truly is the best and finally in Canada!!
I love your videos thanks for your work.
I love your garden haul!! Beautiful produce 😍
I saw someone make oatmeal and a smoothie bowl mixes same bowl. I really liked the warm and cold mixture in a bowl. Haven’t mixed together but I liked the separate
Love love love your streams. Great job. Have you ever made sweet potato or yams into rice. And made your fried rice out of it. It's delish.

Derek, I thought you were going to make a feast for dinner out of your garden veg! Dang! I would have loved to have seen that!
I should have. There just wasn't much to eat. But yeah, I could have at least had the potatoes. We had them the next night.
Both look great derek looks so good!
