Thanks for clarifying! I was actually thinking while watching "DANG everything is like a quarter of the price compared to the U.S., cost of living in the Netherlands is awesome," but actually it seems black beans and cilantro are quite pricey in your area.
FYI, use whole tomatoes as those are less processed and more flavorful. You can squish them by hand or just mix them up with the spoon when they're in the pot. I got that tip from one of the cooking shows.
I love watching all your videos , you really motivate me to polish my cooking skills , i have tried some of your receipes and was pleasantly suprised with the result. Thank you for sharing healthy receipes ✨☺ ps : Love your beautiful smile 🌸
I'm so happy that someone translate this video to Serbian, my mom absolutely loves Pick Up Limes, but she doesn't understand clips and everytime we watch I have to stop the video and translate to her, so she can never watch this on her own. Now she can and I'm so grateful! Sending lots of love to all of you
i would love to see a "essentials" pantry and fridge video. Like what spices and base proteins you use a lot. I am slowly introducing more vegan alternatives into my diet but I'm never sure what to have on hand.
Proteins: lentils and dried beans (canned beans are also okay but dried is much cheaper), firm tofu (also smoked if you can find it), non dairy milk and yogurt (preferably soy, they have the highest protein content) Spices: dried Italian herbs, dried chili, cumin, good curry powder, dried ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, black and white pepper Other "flavoring" ingredients: soy sauce, coconut milk, nutritional yeast, vegetable broth Grains: oats, brown rice, basmati rice, short grain rice, couscous, whole wheat bread, pasta (spaghetti and penne are the most versatile), Asian noodles (like ramen noodles or pho noodles) Vegetables: potatoes, bell pepper, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, carrots These are the staples I always have on hand and which I use most often.
Canned beans chickpeas dried lentqls and tofu are mine tofu is so versatile and beans are so good best thing about being vegan you don't have wo worry about these going bag a pack of tofu can sit in your fridge for a month +
That is exactly what I was thinking, it was a culinary experience for the eyes. Loved the greenery, the crockery and the aesthetic pieces used. I am in love....
She and these other influencers are giving away information for free. I’ll gladly convert any measurements or denominations myself for my own needs without complaint.
I love how you say, "whenever you're ready" while cooking stuff. I don't know why, but even though I'm just watching, I always say in my head, "I'm ready." It's oddly confidence boosting. Thank you for your work and for your dedication to goodness.
It’s OK if you feel like you haven’t got your life together! At the end of the day, everyone is doing the best they can- what you are adding to the world is different what anyone else is adding- so continue doing your best. Have a incredible day!
I like that you included the oil and spices when counting the price. Most youtubers don't do that and it can be misleading as some spices tend to cost more than others.
Good point. But spices in particular last 6 months so after initial purchase they are pantry staples that over time don't cost that much, but definitely worth noting.
@BootsGrowRoots So a meal isn't a serving/portion? I admit I eat more like 2 servings as she shows them here, but I know people that would eat only one serving.
@BootsGrowRoots i see your point. Still, if we look at the portions after cooking, it's clear that she meant cooking a 4pers meal with each serving being an equal share.
Idk if you are gonna see this but if you clean up and cook at the same time its gonna be less messy. Like almost every night we eat dal so while its cooking I clean up the mess or when i waiting for something to saute. Hope this helped.
Me too - not a student - ik woon in Toronto Canada. These are really helpful videos! It takes a bit of preparation but it seems very easy to do - gemakkelijk
Hi Sadia, I just made your tofu and pickled carrots sandwich. I used only half of sugar, sriracha and garlic and I did not have a cucumber today as I go now only two times a week shopping to stay safe. This sandwich is the best sandwich I ever had in my life, I Love Love Love it. Thank you for your wonderful ideas, you made me very happy during self isolation day 😋
I noticed that once I went totally WFPB vegan I actually started SAVING money! Switching beef with beans is quite the economical choice! #vegan #plantpower 💪🏼🥦🍎😁 Glad you make such awesome recipe videos! Definitely not my expertise on my channel 😂

i tried the macaroni chili for my fam who are Muslims on Ramadan futoor, and for the first time they LOVED IT! their taste isnt similar to mine and they're not vegan but everyone was getting refills! thank you so incredibly much
This is actually the first video where I find ALL recipes absolutely delightful. I will definitely try to cook them! I also love your shooting style, it's so relaxing to watch and so aesthetically pleasing! Thank you so much for these great ideas!

Im slowly transitioning into a full plant based diet and your videos has helped a lot. One of the things i love about your recipes is you include foods from all over the world, showing that a plant based diet can be very versatile and fun and that there’s a lot of options aswell. Keep it up Sadia, im really loving your work! Shoutout from Aruba here 👋🏾😊

MrSaemichlaus cheap cereal protein bars, use one can of beans, oats, eget powder,some oil, honey, all kinds of dried fruits, strange flour, cocoa, healthy seeds and nuts, healthy herbs or powders, just clean your shelves as long as the ” mix” can be rolled into small balls and taste ok You have the right consistance. Put a buttered paper in an oventray and add the mix flatten it out over the paper 1 cm 1/3 inch tjock bake 5-10 minutes, cut bars, approximatedly 50 pieces. Sprinkle Melted chocolate over the entire mix, let it cool, put the pieces in the freezer. Take out 10-20 per week, that way your kids might run twice as much as others and break schoolrecords. Plus, You have the energy to look after them.
@Pick Up Limes I just want to truly THANKYOU for your amazing inspiring content..... my daily dose of joy xxxxx so grateful to you. You are helping me HEAL I am so so grateful, and it's incredible that you provide PDF sheets and metric/ cup variations, and nutritional information. Your website is LITERALLY my bible, huge love to you Robin and the team from this slightly broken London based 51 year old who is finally finding food food freedom after two years of total food joy deprivation, XXXXXXX
Seriously, you have changed my life since I started subscribed you !! I know cooking is an art but I was going through difficult time but I was laying my sofa thinking about getting ready to work and watching your channel, Visually pushed me to cook and I made delicious vegan soya coconut curry and already planned my mornings with breathing exercises!!
The word that comes to my mind when I watch PUL videos and listen to Sadia speak is... *tranquility* ... a sense of peace and contentment. Her kitchen is designed perfectly to promote those feelings. I very much like the healthy green plants hanging above on the walls with their green leaves gently cascading down in contrast to the white neutral color scheme of the kitchen. That soft background provides a perfect backdrop for highlighting the healthy, plant-based meals she is preparing. Coupled with the quiet soothing music ... just so peaceful. This is the kind of atmosphere I want to encourage in my own home. Thank you, Sadia, for sharing your kindness, food knowledge, and warmth with us.
Just made the first Macoroni Chilli meal and it was so delicious and hearty . I like how the bell pepper and carrots weren’t softened all the way still leave that FRESH Punch in every bite! (substituted the kidney beans for black beans I already had , turned out great)
I want you to know that YOU make a difference in my life, not by the recipes you make but by showing us who you are and what you value in life. You inspire, teach and always bring a postive energy to our lives. THANK YOU!
I live in the Netherlands and the prices are higher, a red bell pepper alone costs 1 euro. The first dish is about 5 euros depending on what you already have in your kitchen if you dont have the spices it will cost about 9 euros.
Prices can vary greatly depending on where you live (city vs. little town), where you buy (market vs. supermarket vs. local shop), also seasonality of ingredients has a huge impact.
I lost 82 pounds and overcame 4 years of infertility on a whole foods plant based diet, and I started documenting my journey over on my channel! I love your videos, they inspire me to keep eating clean!
I found your channel yesterday and have binge watched your videos.. not just because I love cooking, your recipes but the environment of your channel and the way you present yourself is so calming and relaxing to watch, thank you for the effort you put into your videos! It does not go unnoticed.
I find for the first recipe, cooking the carrot with the onions actually brings the flavors out way more, and you'll get a nicer texture from the carrots.
I've been trying lots of your recipes lately and they are all great! What really sets you apart is the flavour. I find so many recipes are too afraid to use spices and a bit of heat. I'm not a vegan but I try to eat vegan meals during the week. It's a start :) Thanks so much for sharing such amazing content!
Perfect timing! I just started eating vegan two weeks ago and need to go shopping on a budget for the next few weeks ☺️ UPDATE:: Chili Mac is so so so so good! I added way more spice causeeeee spice is life 🔥
I tried all three recipes...they are all absolutely delicious! I even substituted the soy veggie crumbles for homemade vegan taco meat (mushrooms, walnuts, a few spices) and it was to die for.
@@Vscustomprinting I don't think soaking overnight is enough to ferment the lentils. I think soaking is more for removing oligosaccharides (fart compounds), because even though lentils have way fewer of them than beans do, they do carry them.
That makes sense, but given that this particular video is for budget meals, people who are interested in this video may not be particularly inclined to buy a pressure cooker if they don't yet own one. I hadn't thought to buy a pressure cooker for rice, so I'll definitely look into that. That may be a better idea than buying a rice cooker and a pressure cooker separately, so thanks for sharing that.
@@shirin8609 actually a pressure cooker doesn't cost that much and it saves time and money by not having to cook the lentils and rice for 25-30 minutes. And it can be used as a regular cooking vessel as well. 🙂
Hey accent while saying "Chana Dal " is so cute . I am Indian so I am familiar with the traditional Chana Dal but your take on it also looks delicious 😊
What is there to dislike this video for? Seriously. I mean, the girl has the voice of an angel. She is a good cook and she is in fact educated in nutrition. Girl, I stumbled upon your channel (SHAME ON ME for not knowing about you sooner) and i couldn't be more proud of you. I have watched three of your videos and I love your content. I love cooking curry lentils and sometimes garbanzo beans. I am not a vegetarian, but I have decided that I am going to become one. I need to get back into shape after neglecting my body for so long. Thank you so much for sharing.
*One tip to prevent mushy lentils* , put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a hot pan and heat it till it sizzles, then add your dry lentils mix them around until they start to take on a golden color (keep them moving so they don’t burn) and then add your water. (Look out for lots of spattering when you add the water) and cook as usual. They will retain their texture and resist mushiness! Plus they are tastier this way.
I was shocked when I heard the PUL studio is actually in the Netherlands... This channel is great! After I have watched a video I am completely zen :) Keep up the good work girl! :)
@pickuplimes I am watching these videos for over a yr I guess.. I can't tell you how much I love watching your videos.. You have such a calming voice and that smile 👌❤️
Can you do a recipe challenge where you don't use your favorites (i.e coconut milk, bell pepper, chickpeas..) I think it would be a good way to step out of your comfort zone, and introduce new foods.
Yes, maybe only seasonal products. Or something others like leek, brussels sprouts, fennel, savoy, salsify, rutabaga and so on. I would like to see this.
YES !!! Coz I can’t consume any of these. PUL ingredient list is like a no no for me but I enjoy watching them. This is a good idea to make something outside of the usual ingredients. It might help ppl who hate that
For some reason, her voice made me relax. Like..properly relax, while looking at delicious food in the making. Im actually gonna sleep well now! Thank you!
Dear Sadia, I made this recently and we all loved it (the babes too, and my husband, who doesn't love beans at all). Such a wonderful, colourful dish! Thanks!
@@leuvenfra Sugar with no chemicals is still going to spike your blood sugar. In extreme moderation, it's not bad for you but if you have more than 23 grams of added sugar a day, then it will cause your body to store extra fat, it will tear small holes in your intestines that need to be fixed with cholesterol, and it will make you feel hungrier throughout the day increasing the chances of you eating more calories than your body needs.
so glad this just randomly showed up in my feed! I subbed the second you mentioned euros and metrics, and then it also was Vegan, AND a charming, sensible host ANDDD the recipes are killer. this is like that meme where that wrestling guy is having too much
This channel is a jewel . I almost got tired of looking up for a worthy informative vegan channel that also portrayed accesible ingredients and with someone who actually knows how to cook ! Can’t thank you enough
maybe a video about the best “dutch” tips. like the best supermarkets, little hacks etc. great for dutch/german/belgian people & all who visit these countries. not a lot of (vegan) food youtubers live in europe!
Great video Sadia and the Pick Up Limes team ☺. I personally would like to see another minimalist video as well as a video about gas and bloating. Since switching my diet to more plants and whole foods, I've been having heart burn and bloating and gas and I would like to know how to decrease these symptoms.
Hey Rachel! Sadia recommended in another video to soak any lentils/beans etc. 12 hours before you cook them. If you change the water during this time, the stuff that makes you bloat reduces :)
Maybe you have an intolerance to something? Personality I have an intolerance to fructans, which is a specific carb found in garlic, onions, bananas, wheat and a whole lot more fruits and veggies. If I eat those I get painful gas and bloating.
@@RosesAndIvy that's really interesting. I haven't been eating anything new yet, just eating more plants and no animals...that's why I'm like "what is going on?" unless it's my body just adjusting?
I am hesitating about that. And besides that, I like to rinse of my canned beans etc. with clean water before I put them in my food. I do this because of the potential health risk of bpa/bisphenol A. Link: www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-bpa
Thank you for sharing this! I loved the way you add pricing for everything! The dhal recipe looks really yummy, different from how we make it back home, but I would like to give this a try
Hiii Sadia! Im from belgium and you inspired my SO MUCH. I'm eating way healthier and I try to live positively like you😍😍😍😍😍loootts of love from your favorite fann😊😊😊😊
Daniel Plainview don’t worry 1950s America will come again. Trump is not the man to do it, but the next president after Trump, in my opinion Tucker Carlson, will get us back on track to great prosperity.
First ever video I have watched of 'pick up limes' and I'm hooked.... Such a pleasure to watch and hear. There are a lot of meal prep videos. I will subscribe only for the aesthetics, everything fits in the finest of ways. Hats off to the creative process which put this together.
Thank you for these! The chill is definitely one of my favourites now and it’s the best in terms of quantity. It lasted me about 3-4 days which is awesome.
Thanks for mentioning more affordable alternatives (for example, regular sugar instead of raw) - and not sounding like you're chastising the viewer for using them! Some food blogs or channels almost make you feel guilty for not being able to afford or find the "better" version, so I appreciate how reasonable and kind you were about this. :)
I'd love to see more of these. Your meals are always creative and different than the typical American meal (I'm from America) and I love that you priced everything out and explained everything.
These recipes look and sound amazing. The problem is, not many of the ingredients from the different dishes overlap. And since you've priced each ingredient by the amount you'll need for the recipe, it isn't really realistic unless people have a lot of the ingredients already. If you don't have a lot of what's used (i.e. sauces, seasonings and garnishes), your grocery bill will add up fast.
I noticed this too.. not to mention, a lot of the stuff would then go to waste afterwards because, as you said, the ingredients don’t overlap. So it could end up costing more.
@@mehrinaz3466 she has a week meal plan making 5 dishes each serving 4 for 20 dollars worth of groceries so only a dollar each, that should be what ur looking for

I simply love your cookbook, as much as I adore your channel. You lift plant based meals on a star cook level.

As an indian myself, I can say the discription of diffrence between the chana dal and yellow is quite accurate, as it's very common in india meals.👍👍👍
...this is what I need, delicious, cheap and diverse meals for low budget. Lots of love from an Ecuadorian girl who lives in Germany.
can you do fast easy vegan meal prep for students? i love ur videos so much!
She's posted a few of them. Just search her chanel for "student prep" (without the quotations).
banana.
I live in the Netherlands and the prices are higher, a red bell pepper alone costs 1 euro. The first dish is about 5 euros depending on what you already have in your kitchen if you dont have the spices it will cost about 9 euros.
Prices can vary greatly depending on where you live (city vs. little town), where you buy (market vs. supermarket vs. local shop), also seasonality of ingredients has a huge impact.
Thank you for adding the costs of the meals. This is especially helpful for seniors and others who are on a fixed income.
I made the macaroni chili and it was absolutely amazing. I added a tiny bit of cumin and substituted the kidney beans for black beans. Loved it!
Zenaya Marsh i made them without the veggie ground because they are not available in my country. Still taste amazing!
I wanna make this!
@@liviapattiasina6310 Use some chopped walnuts instead, it's amazing!
This is not just a meal prep video, IT IS AN ART VIDEO. Images are too beautiful...
I lost 82 pounds and overcame 4 years of infertility on a whole foods plant based diet, and I started documenting my journey over on my channel! I love your videos, they inspire me to keep eating clean!
What? You got pregnant while eating carrots?
Vatsek seems so. 🤷🏻♀️
@@Vatsek Why are you being unnecessarily rude?
Peas @ Quiet, Congratulations! 😊

The way you cook, speak, explain is so calming
I found your channel yesterday and have binge watched your videos.. not just because I love cooking, your recipes but the environment of your channel and the way you present yourself is so calming and relaxing to watch, thank you for the effort you put into your videos! It does not go unnoticed.
Whenever my cooking creativity levels are low, I loveeee these videos. Thanks Sadia
I find for the first recipe, cooking the carrot with the onions actually brings the flavors out way more, and you'll get a nicer texture from the carrots.
The cost of groceries is CRAZY right now! I really appreciate these recipes. Thank you!
I've been trying lots of your recipes lately and they are all great! What really sets you apart is the flavour. I find so many recipes are too afraid to use spices and a bit of heat. I'm not a vegan but I try to eat vegan meals during the week. It's a start :) Thanks so much for sharing such amazing content!
Perfect timing! I just started eating vegan two weeks ago and need to go shopping on a budget for the next few weeks ☺️
UPDATE::
Chili Mac is so so so so good! I added way more spice causeeeee spice is life 🔥
I tried all three recipes...they are all absolutely delicious! I even substituted the soy veggie crumbles for homemade vegan taco meat (mushrooms, walnuts, a few spices) and it was to die for.
For Indian dishes like dals or rice, buy a pressure cooker. easier and quicker than soaking overnight and then cooking for 20-25 mins on the stove.
no. fermenting is nutritional fundamentals 101. nutrition isnt always about convenience, and is often a trap
have some fermented dosas
@@Vscustomprinting I don't think soaking overnight is enough to ferment the lentils. I think soaking is more for removing oligosaccharides (fart compounds), because even though lentils have way fewer of them than beans do, they do carry them.
That makes sense, but given that this particular video is for budget meals, people who are interested in this video may not be particularly inclined to buy a pressure cooker if they don't yet own one. I hadn't thought to buy a pressure cooker for rice, so I'll definitely look into that. That may be a better idea than buying a rice cooker and a pressure cooker separately, so thanks for sharing that.
@@shirin8609 actually a pressure cooker doesn't cost that much and it saves time and money by not having to cook the lentils and rice for 25-30 minutes. And it can be used as a regular cooking vessel as well. 🙂
Hey accent while saying "Chana Dal " is so cute . I am Indian so I am familiar with the traditional Chana Dal but your take on it also looks delicious 😊
she is half indian isn't she
@@latisyaputri9569 probably of middle eastern origin rather
She is from Afghanistan and was born in Pakistan
Exactly I felt the same when she said Chana dal it was so cute 🥰
Yeah she sounded so cute 😍😍 and our Chana Dal is best 😎😎 😎
What is there to dislike this video for? Seriously. I mean, the girl has the voice of an angel. She is a good cook and she is in fact educated in nutrition. Girl, I stumbled upon your channel (SHAME ON ME for not knowing about you sooner) and i couldn't be more proud of you. I have watched three of your videos and I love your content. I love cooking curry lentils and sometimes garbanzo beans. I am not a vegetarian, but I have decided that I am going to become one. I need to get back into shape after neglecting my body for so long. Thank you so much for sharing.
I’d love a video on leftover ingredients or meals. How we can use and combine them to have zero waste!
when i cook it's basically the exact opposite, everything is ugly and panicky and looks like trash but thanks for the inspiration haha
Practice! Soon you will have an "I see what they're trying to do" moment and after that, you will be able to look in the fridge and improvise.
obsolete professor thank you! i will
Every single chef that you see started from scratch. Things are hard at first until you make it routine.
*One tip to prevent mushy lentils* , put a few tablespoons of olive oil in a hot pan and heat it till it sizzles, then add your dry lentils mix them around until they start to take on a golden color (keep them moving so they don’t burn) and then add your water. (Look out for lots of spattering when you add the water) and cook as usual. They will retain their texture and resist mushiness! Plus they are tastier this way.
I was shocked when I heard the PUL studio is actually in the Netherlands... This channel is great! After I have watched a video I am completely zen :)
Keep up the good work girl! :)
Me too! Not exactly a long time viewer, but great to see that their studio is in Europe! Always assumed it was NA for some reason...
Ik ook! :)
Your videos help me to get so creative in the kitchen while also keeping budget in mind! Thank you! ❤️
@pickuplimes I am watching these videos for over a yr I guess.. I can't tell you how much I love watching your videos.. You have such a calming voice and that smile 👌❤️
Can you do a recipe challenge where you don't use your favorites (i.e coconut milk, bell pepper, chickpeas..) I think it would be a good way to step out of your comfort zone, and introduce new foods.
I agree! I'm not a big fan of bell peppers or coconut milk, but I find the PUL recipes very inspiring
I use a lot of the same staples you do but that would be interesting!
Yes, maybe only seasonal products. Or something others like leek, brussels sprouts, fennel, savoy, salsify, rutabaga and so on. I would like to see this.
YES !!! Coz I can’t consume any of these. PUL ingredient list is like a no no for me but I enjoy watching them. This is a good idea to make something outside of the usual ingredients. It might help ppl who hate that
Great idea!
For some reason, her voice made me relax. Like..properly relax, while looking at delicious food in the making. Im actually gonna sleep well now! Thank you!
Dear Sadia, I made this recently and we all loved it (the babes too, and my husband, who doesn't love beans at all). Such a wonderful, colourful dish! Thanks!
Finally a person who's not afraid to add bit of sugar to their meals if they require it!
It's Raw Sugar . Chemical free.
@@dhirajjadhav29 that was never the issue with sugar. It's the sugar itself.
@@EliasBlind no chemicals 😌
@@leuvenfra Sugar with no chemicals is still going to spike your blood sugar. In extreme moderation, it's not bad for you but if you have more than 23 grams of added sugar a day, then it will cause your body to store extra fat, it will tear small holes in your intestines that need to be fixed with cholesterol, and it will make you feel hungrier throughout the day increasing the chances of you eating more calories than your body needs.
@@codyelliott3142 you cant store more fat then you take in lol
so glad this just randomly showed up in my feed! I subbed the second you mentioned euros and metrics, and then it also was Vegan, AND a charming, sensible host ANDDD the recipes are killer. this is like that meme where that wrestling guy is having too much
The girl, the voice, the food, the presentation, the editing, the kitchen, everything is so perfect and soothing.
I came for a budget meals.. and I think that I've fallen in love.
bruh she said "while keeping my eyes on the prize" while making eye contact and my system automatically reset to virgin
and her voice... omg, so beautiful :0
Thirsty boy
Belquerst-then u dont know what love is,lol
same here :DD
This "pasta chili love child" is my new fav! Just made it for lunch and it made me feel warm and fuzzy. Great idea Sadia :)
This channel is a jewel . I almost got tired of looking up for a worthy informative vegan channel that also portrayed accesible ingredients and with someone who actually knows how to cook ! Can’t thank you enough
House, atmosphere, lighting, esthetic, calm voice, simple delicious recipes and I can't get over how beautiful you are.
It's her studio for making videos. I guess you r new here 🙂
maybe a video about the best “dutch” tips. like the best supermarkets, little hacks etc. great for dutch/german/belgian people & all who visit these countries. not a lot of (vegan) food youtubers live in europe!
Everything about this video is perfect, I love the plants that drape down in her background 😍😍😍
Great video Sadia and the Pick Up Limes team ☺. I personally would like to see another minimalist video as well as a video about gas and bloating. Since switching my diet to more plants and whole foods, I've been having heart burn and bloating and gas and I would like to know how to decrease these symptoms.
Yes! The bloating and gas..😣
Hey Rachel!
Sadia recommended in another video to soak any lentils/beans etc. 12 hours before you cook them. If you change the water during this time, the stuff that makes you bloat reduces :)
Hey Alice,
As a long time fan of Sadia, I have indeed soaked my grains and beans before cooking, that's why I'm wondering what else I can do 🙆
Maybe you have an intolerance to something? Personality I have an intolerance to fructans, which is a specific carb found in garlic, onions, bananas, wheat and a whole lot more fruits and veggies. If I eat those I get painful gas and bloating.
@@RosesAndIvy that's really interesting. I haven't been eating anything new yet, just eating more plants and no animals...that's why I'm like "what is going on?" unless it's my body just adjusting?
I’m not even vegetarian but those meals look delicious
then add meat to make it even more delicious.
I thought about trying those sandwiches with smoked ham instead of tofu
Tried the chilli but i swaped chives to chicken meat, its good, not sure if better
Or just eat it as intended, because you are not vegetarian doesn't mean you *have to* eat meat.
what an ignorant thing to say, tofu is not a vegetarian invention it is an Asian food staple and can be prepared deliciously.
This is like my visual yoga (even better) cuz it calms me down. The whole setting is just so aesthetic and healing. Thank you so much!!
Love the filling the can to measure water, trick some viewers into rinsing there cans out to recycle as well as convient. 😂👍
Eileen Kelly i always rinse my tins or jars out to get the remaining bits out. No waste that way & ready for recycling too.
I am hesitating about that. And besides that, I like to rinse of my canned beans etc. with clean water before I put them in my food. I do this because of the potential health risk of bpa/bisphenol A. Link: www.healthline.com/nutrition/what-is-bpa
Thank you for sharing this! I loved the way you add pricing for everything! The dhal recipe looks really yummy, different from how we make it back home, but I would like to give this a try
I love the fact that the recipes you have shown are from different cultures and the ingredients used are simple but flavourful.
Hiii Sadia! Im from belgium and you inspired my SO MUCH.
I'm eating way healthier and I try to live positively like you😍😍😍😍😍loootts of love from your favorite fann😊😊😊😊
It’s so good to see that their local store has held prices consistent since the 1950s.
😂😂😂😂
Daniel Plainview don’t worry 1950s America will come again. Trump is not the man to do it, but the next president after Trump, in my opinion Tucker Carlson, will get us back on track to great prosperity.
Yooooooo😂

hola¿
First ever video I have watched of 'pick up limes' and I'm hooked.... Such a pleasure to watch and hear.
There are a lot of meal prep videos.
I will subscribe only for the aesthetics, everything fits in the finest of ways.
Hats off to the creative process which put this together.
Wow! Its amazing how you create these recipes and all your efforts. Thanks I will wait your another creativity. Love you sadia
OMG thank you so much Sadia!
Thank you for these! The chill is definitely one of my favourites now and it’s the best in terms of quantity. It lasted me about 3-4 days which is awesome.
That would be more like $10 per meal in Australia.
well.. it's Australia.. Who can afford that anyway :P
Glad we took New Zealand instead now ????
@@nerdstormer3544 G E K O L O N I S E E R D
Yeah, and that's 2.50$ per serving, not a big difference... 😅
And in Germany
Price of vegetables in Japan is so high. so I'm jealous.
shunichi nakayama in Poland and England also :(
Yeah, I live in Japan too. The price of fruit is even worse, especially in Tokyo.
Justin Zar peppers at least are a similar price. Around 50-60p
are there fresh produce/farmers markets there? Usually, they're a bit cheaper than supermarkets.
Lmao wanna switch countries?
Thanks for mentioning more affordable alternatives (for example, regular sugar instead of raw) - and not sounding like you're chastising the viewer for using them! Some food blogs or channels almost make you feel guilty for not being able to afford or find the "better" version, so I appreciate how reasonable and kind you were about this. :)
I’d love to see a video where you talk about food and how they affect hormones? Because I’m personally going through some issues, thank youu❤️
You have such an elegant personality! Love your recipes 😍
I love that you have plants everywhere in your house and you are so delightful to hear. Nice recipes. :)
I'd love to see more of these. Your meals are always creative and different than the typical American meal (I'm from America) and I love that you priced everything out and explained everything.
She’s Canadian
Would love to see a week’s meal prep grocery haul!
Would love a video on what types of pots/pans and cooking utensils you mostly use- and if you shun non-stick etc etc!!
These recipes look and sound amazing. The problem is, not many of the ingredients from the different dishes overlap. And since you've priced each ingredient by the amount you'll need for the recipe, it isn't really realistic unless people have a lot of the ingredients already. If you don't have a lot of what's used (i.e. sauces, seasonings and garnishes), your grocery bill will add up fast.
I noticed this too.. not to mention, a lot of the stuff would then go to waste afterwards because, as you said, the ingredients don’t overlap. So it could end up costing more.
@@mehrinaz3466 she has a week meal plan making 5 dishes each serving 4 for 20 dollars worth of groceries so only a dollar each, that should be what ur looking for
Thanks for keeping an eye on the proteins!
As a plant based athlete, I love that, thank you!
I enjoy watching your recipe videos sooo much! When you say you are preparing comforting meals - girl even just watching you do this is just super comforting
