No need to wash rice to make a risotto! That starch is needed to bind. ;) It's also better if it's not wet because it must be dry roasted first, like nuts or seeds. In Asia they wash it because they prefer less starch and each grain should be separated from the others.
Very helpful. When you emphasize calorie deficit, you make it so clear. Love the lettuce cups, and all your creative ingredients. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you do it.

You are such a breath of fresh air! I love how truly genuine you are. No fancy, perfect photo op fake stuff. Love it! Thanks for your great content, it really is helpful!
Your girls are the sweetest - really your entire family is awesome! Thank you for this video! I've been on a sushi bowl kick ever since I found this and there is no stopping in sight 👌😊
I have been listening to your pod cast omg I am learning so much for u. U are my favorite utuber so ty for sharing all your knowledge. Ordered atomic habits and it’s coming today 😃😃😃
I’ve been watching you pretty much nonstop for the past 2 weeks and I’m already seeing major improvements like actually feeling satiated after meals and completely stopped my night time binging which has been a lifelong problem I inherited from my family THANK YOU I’m so happy I found your channel!!
Korean seaweed is so good!!! I can eat a few bowls of brown rice with only Korean seaweed^^ And the way you eat seaweed is exactly the way Koreans eat it.
I just love that you show what your kids eat. I didn’t grow up vegan and here I am trying to raise my son vegan and I second guess myself sometimes. I find that I’m using avocado the most for his fats but he’s slowly losing interest.
I’ve been eating the sushi bowls ever since I saw it on your Instagram 🤤😊. Now I HAVE to try these burrito lettuce wraps!!! Thanks again for sharing and helping us vegan women out 💚
Im Italian American so this is comfort food for me and I feel this low fat diet works perfect for me because I can still have my pasta pizza and risotto just cut the oil and if I need some healthy fat no problem make a pesto with pumpkin seeds.
Thank you for the wonderful meal ideas!! I currently under eat (not on purpose - am just a snacker instead of a meal eater) and am excited to start preparing healthy food that will fill me up and give me more calories throughout the day.
Thank you for the video! you make it so much easier to understand how weight loss works. Oh and your daughters are adorable. I love that you are teaching them how to eat right at a young age!!!
Im on my way to become a vegan and in the beginning of my journey it was tough. But now it is getting easier. I have found your channel and find it full of usefull tips, recepies and advice which are useful and helpful along the my journey Thank you a lot! New sub❤️
I am not vegan, but I want to increase my vegetable intake. I love it. So yum. Thank you. The sushi bowl looks delicious. Wow! I love the lettuce for the taco. Good idea. I need to be more creative. Yes. Your kids are adorable. Thank you for sharing.
Always love these videos. I'm very busy and I really like your easy and quick meal ideas! I just tried your frozen broccoli soup from another video and it was very delicious!
Love your videos and recipes!! No fuss and so simple thank you for sharing!....just a quick question..do you eat organic (noted when you grated the sweet potato with skin and all) ... Or are you not fussed? Would love to hear your opinion on this ... Light and love 💕🙏
@@ChelseaMae you’re so right about the tomatoes-NEXT LEVEL. But I used short grain brown rice and it honestly wasn’t mushy at all! ♥️♥️♥️ seriously just waiting in anticipation to eat it again for lunch today LOL
Who says children don’t like heathy food? They do if that’s what you feed them when they’re young. Well done, mama! My son loves vegetables too. Broccoli is like candy for him.
Just be careful not to eat too much seaweed in one setting. Too much iodine can rev te body up too much. I believe Dr. Gregor had a video on this. I eat that too and love it. Looks good. Love the videos.
OK.. these burrito bowls ❤️🔥 might not be so "hard" dropping/"releasing"🧘♀️ some LBs 😜 I didn't have any zucchini ('courgettes' sound so much fancier 🤩 might start bougieing up my lingo w that) anyway.. so, I made mine with a bunch of diced onion, peppers, etc that I and prep in batches and keep in the fridge when I have kitchen downtime. I did do the 1.5 sweet potatoes, grated (that was a new experience 😳🤷🏼♀️) I took some soft cherry tomatoes we keep stocked all the time for salads, and I quartered those. I put in a can of southwest corn, Rotel, black beans, and pinto beans. and I took out a bag of premade rice I have started stocking in my feeezer since I started following Chelsea's platforms.. ( genius 🤯 practical idea btw) I dumped some (🤷🏼♀️4-5 TB) of my jar of homemade taco seasoning in there I made when I was feeling ambitious, bunch of minced garlic (not fresh 🤷🏼♀️ but momma's gotta do what momma's do) and we're serving them with sliced avocado and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. oh I got some cilantro today to make it feel extra mexican-ey 🤤 my kitchen smells Amaze! turned out DELISH 10/10 highly recommend. thank you Chelsea ❤️❤️❤️
Okay, you just said something I've been waiting for weight loss experts to say for years... which is that the average woman needs about 2400 to maintain their weight. Almost every diet plan I've seen cuts women's metabolisms off at the knees by insisting women need far less than they do to maintain, so it pushes women to carve their food intake so far down to the bone that they're starving, it backfires and they binge. Every time I hear a friend say they're dieting and only saying 1200 a day I want to cry..but that's bc I have good, consistent, moderate weight loss at even 2000 a day. So to me I feel like I'm wasting away with overwhelming hunger pangs at anything less than 1600. And I'm not severely overweight, although I do carry roughly 30 more than I need to be considered a healthy bmi. Thank you thank you thank you for making the point that most women need on average 2400 a day to MAINTAIN weight. That's so significant and incredibly validating to hear.
Totally agree and I did an in-depth video on how many calories you’ll need to eat to lose weight, shocking to many most women will lose weight eating 1800 a day easy! We’re all just eating way more than we realise.
So something you might find interesting is I worked with a nutritionist about 13 years ago (as a co-worker) and he said that the average person needs around 15 kcal per pound to maintain at rest. Of course that's a very generalized number that can be influenced by many factors, including gender, age, etc. But! I found that was a really appropriate guesstimate for myself and have been using it since. And moving from my early 20s to my mid 30s it still is true so it appears my metabolism hasn't slowed down too considerably during that time. So a 170 lb person, sorry I'm American and don't use metric, they probably need around 2550 a day to maintain. What he told me, and what I've been following, lines up pretty well with what the research you're using shows. Just thought I'd pass that along.
Hi Chelsea, I have just come across your channel and I'm enjoying all the recipes. Love to see the whole family is on board! Question: I don't see a whole lot of protein in your dishes, how do know if you're getting enough protein in your diet? Thanks :)
Always helpful with new recipe ideas. Made a BIG mistake buying pomegranate already prepackaged and gained a pound. Thinking being prepackaged must of had a lot of sugar. It's all about experimenting ;-) Gonna buy FRESH pomegranate and cut and pluck it myself ;-).
You guys are so CUTE! I hate washing rice too and even worse... Quinoa ugggggggghhhhh so I usually avoid quinoa all together... I need to use it up in pantry lol but every time I reach for it I think about the rinse and I'm just like "sorry quinoa, not today".
just wondering if you total the salts in the tin beans , vegeta stock + msg, packet spice mixes you use.... its a lot... you have woolies in NZ... look for the low salt tins of beans which are cheap, we have them here in Australia... that would lower the amount of salts etc in your diets which is important..... your meals look quite nice.
such yummy food!! I do have one question though, and I'm coming from a genuine place so please dont take offense, i'll preface my question in saying I have my own daughter (5), do you consider that your kiddos may pick up on the way you speak around them regarding calories and foods you shouldnt eat? Have you spoken to them about these topics? maybe youve touched on this ina previous vid but im a new subscriber :) enjoying your content!
Awwww when your baby was showing her plate of food to the camera!!! So cute 😍😍😍
you stole my comment 🥰 so adorbs 🥰
@@malindaeckert2300 me too so cute 💕
Really cute! I just wanted to squeeze her. My kids are all adults now. I really miss those little ones.
You guys are great role models for your kids. They will grow up thinking eating healthy is the norm.
Your little one showing her plate too, literally made my entire day!! I can't get enough of those sweet, healthy, adorable children of yours!! 🤩😍
Your girls have very positive attitudes and full of joy! And they really really love their food. Lol.
No need to wash rice to make a risotto! That starch is needed to bind. ;) It's also better if it's not wet because it must be dry roasted first, like nuts or seeds. In Asia they wash it because they prefer less starch and each grain should be separated from the others.
Looks good! Your girls are the cutest. Love when she held up her plate for the camera
I know it was too cute
So adorably helpful 😍
My kids absolutely love watching your videos with your kids in them. Makes them feel less alone with this way of eating ❤️
Very helpful. When you emphasize calorie deficit, you make it so clear. Love the lettuce cups, and all your creative ingredients. Thank you for taking the time to show us how you do it.
Seriously love that the hubs is in there and the kids. Food looks yummo thanks fo the inspiration!
Your kids are so cute in their excitement over avocados and tomatoes. 😊
I came here to say the same! I love seeing kids so happy over healthy food! :) So sweet.

I have been listening to your pod cast omg I am learning so much for u. U are my favorite utuber so ty for sharing all your knowledge. Ordered atomic habits and it’s coming today 😃😃😃
Love it that you use Vegeta. It's Croatian product. Staple in croatian household. Soup without it for me is unthinkable.
I’ve been watching you pretty much nonstop for the past 2 weeks and I’m already seeing major improvements like actually feeling satiated after meals and completely stopped my night time binging which has been a lifelong problem I inherited from my family

Thank you a lot! New sub❤️
Thanks all of the meals look great. Never thought to grate sweet potato. Do you have any other favourite crock pot recipes?
It’s so nice to see kids enjoying healthy food ❤️ I’m used to seeing this in the Philippines growing up but not so much now that I’m in Florida.
I am not vegan, but I want to increase my vegetable intake. I love it. So yum. Thank you. The sushi bowl looks delicious. Wow! I love the lettuce for the taco. Good idea. I need to be more creative. Yes. Your kids are adorable. Thank you for sharing.
Always love these videos. I'm very busy and I really like your easy and quick meal ideas! I just tried your frozen broccoli soup from another video and it was very delicious!
YES! Sometimes I even use frozen rice and just microwave it- SO EASY!!
I have never thought of grating sweet potatoes to add bulk to a meal. Genius.
I love that you make your taco mix partially from shredded veg! That's so cool :D I think I'd much prefer that to something like lentil tacos.
Love your videos and recipes!! No fuss and so simple thank you for sharing!....just a quick question..do you eat organic (noted when you grated the sweet potato with skin and all) ... Or are you not fussed? Would love to hear your opinion on this ... Light and love 💕🙏
Omg, So cute how the littlest one shows her plate too 😻
Love the recipes! Your kids are adorable!
Made this risotto tonight and the burritos last week--LOVE IT
Love that yo love it!!
@@ChelseaMae you’re so right about the tomatoes-NEXT LEVEL. But I used short grain brown rice and it honestly wasn’t mushy at all! ♥️♥️♥️ seriously just waiting in anticipation to eat it again for lunch today LOL
Your kids are the sweetest. I can't - such a lovely family - thank you for all the free content you create for us. Lots of love from Germany
That was the cuteness. "I show my food too" lol
This looks absolutely delicious. Love the risotto.
Thanks for this recipe and your family is so adorable and that hubby helping you cook is awesome.

Hey Chelsea! What all is in the mexican burrito spice mix that you used in this recipe? Id love to make these!
Great ideas for easy dinners. Thank you very much ! ☺️
Hi Chelsea, what about snacks for kids? What do you usually give them, especially when you're out and about? Thank you 😘
Just be careful not to eat too much seaweed in one setting. Too much iodine can rev te body up too much. I believe Dr. Gregor had a video on this. I eat that too and love it. Looks good. Love the videos.
Dudes, you totally made me buy a Crockpot Express. Thanks! 😄 And I love all 3 of these recipes A LOT 😍
OK.. these burrito bowls ❤️🔥
might not be so "hard" dropping/"releasing"🧘♀️ some LBs 😜
I didn't have any zucchini ('courgettes' sound so much fancier 🤩 might start bougieing up my lingo w that)
anyway.. so, I made mine with a bunch of diced onion, peppers, etc that I and prep in batches and keep in the fridge when I have kitchen downtime.
I did do the 1.5 sweet potatoes, grated (that was a new experience 😳🤷🏼♀️)
I took some soft cherry tomatoes we keep stocked all the time for salads, and I quartered those.
I put in a can of southwest corn, Rotel, black beans, and pinto beans.

oh I got some cilantro today to make it feel extra mexican-ey 🤤
my kitchen smells Amaze!
turned out DELISH
10/10 highly recommend.
thank you Chelsea ❤️❤️❤️
