@Redheaded Stranger absolutely, I’m not vegan at all, but like to eat vegan and vegetarian for at least one meal a day to reduce harm and Nisha’s recipes are the most delicious I’ve found!
The amount of effort it must take to make a video like this feel so seamless and simple while packing in SO MANY recipes/variations.. and keeping it entertaining and insanely cheap AND healthy... does not go unnoticed. Super impressive content! Thank you for the inspo!!!
@@RainbowPlantLife you're a superb representative of the Vegan community! Vegan equals health and wellness. Bye bye inflammation. Mahalo Nisha for all that you do! Sending love from my home in Hawaii.
Comes with a price of all that plastic waste, and the approx 20% waste caused by these mega centralised food production & distribution systems!. You should take a look round the back of Aldi (or any supermarket), you would see skips( Dumpsters in US) FULL of perfectly good food, and every other thing they sell. Toilet paper, Detergents, anything even tools and clothes, if there is a slightest mark, scratch, dent, or with food, day of sell by date, it’s chucked away! That’s after the massive waste on the massive farms where veg is wasted just cos it’s a bit too big or mishapen etc. Then there is the Pallets of waste at the Supermarket Warehouses. Pls think, from cradle to grave, there is only 1 Planet! 🌎🌻💚✌🏽 ‘’Veganism is not enough’’( the late Kathleen Jannaway, Co Founder of the Vegan Society, 1944), I personally heard her say that, she meant of course that Veganism needs to be Environmentalism as well, or we are harming Wildlife.
I always feel like I’m overspending on groceries/food. I’m trying this out! Got my groceries today! I think I spent $36 total. Excited to see how this goes.
Nisha, you are my FAVORITE vegan food youtuber. I’ve been vegan for 10 years but since I moved in with my (non vegan) fiancé and started working a 9-5, meal time has never been more stressful. Your videos are a lifesaver for me!!
I am personally not vegan but this is one of the most impressive vegan/recipe/budget saving videos I have ever seem on this platform. I don't do dairy often but I do eat some lean meats like turkey, chicken, and fish. I rarely eat red meat. I look forward to making these recipes as I am getting back into meal prepping and have an Aldi's that is walking distance from me. Thank you for all the hard work you put into this, it did not go unnoticed. 😊 I've never seen so many positive comments. It's really nice for a change.
This is why I love your videos: entertaining yet info-packed. I feel like I got an entire week's worth of menu ideas and I am so excited to try them all.
This is literally the best & most realistic video I've seen lately on vegan eating. Everything looks so delicious & I love how it takes things like flavor and mouth feel into consideration!
This is the best budget video I've seen! Your ideas are so creative, it didn't even feel like you had a budget limit. And that scene of you and Max was so cute 🥰
Children are capable of so much! And they love learning, experimenting.. and eating! No excuse for high schoolers graduating with no ability to feed themselves (which was me and every person I knew).
@@consciousobserver629 the foods teacher at my school made the most bland, dry, boring food. I’m so glad for RUclips otherwise I wouldn’t be able to cook
@@consciousobserver629 but honestly shouldn’t it be the parent’s responsibility to teach their kid how to cook, clean, etc? Some things should be taught at school and at home
@@бронза.вафля.конус Not when parents must each work 2 jobs to pay housing, work & transportation, food, & health care costs, THEN required Insurances & taxes.

@@marymdavis3189 well in that case it’s the child’s responsibility to teach themselves. My mom always worked long hours and never taught me how to cook, but I wanted to learn so I did
omg I thought I could never be vegan because it would be boring and expensive will I just ran into this video and I am hooked. I have seen many many videos in my days on food and cooking but you are so refreshing. You have a great friendly, easy to understand, inexpensive, yummy way about your presentation. I love all the staples you use and so I am excited to head over to Aldi and try some of the recipes. Keep ya posted! thank you for being you....
I've been in a rut lately with my plant-based meals and this video was exactly what I needed! Thank you for sharing your creative cooking talent with us!
No sooner did I download this pdf and walk in my house when hubby said "I'm going to Aldis. Do you need anything?" Yes please! Hold that thought while I print the list 🤣
Nisha, you have surpassed yourself this time! This is just the kind of content I am looking for at the moment - tasty, nutritious vegan food for as little cash as possible! Well done you. I'm very grateful!
And can I say also (watching this again a month later!) that when you're on a low budget, if you can possibly find the funds for a bar of dark chocolate or another "treat" item, then it lifts the whole experience to know you can have a little treat during your week. So I'm with you on the chocolate, girl!
Aldi are an incredible store; I absolutely love the range of fresh produce they have there. The fact that they also sell chia seeds, flax seeds and a lot of plant based alternatives now is awesome too
That was excellent!! I didn't think I would watch the entire but it just pulled me in. I shop at Aldi and am moving more towards a plant based diet. Please do more of these weeks.
Thank you Nicholine, so nice to hear m you ended up watching the whole video :) ALDI is a great place to get a lot of wholesome essentials as you move towards a plant-based diet!
Nisha, you're a phenomenal Vegan RUclips influencer. You would be a superior Vegan representative on mainstream Food Network. I pray they see how diverse diverse diverse you meal prep and offer you a platform. You're youthful and your voice pleasing. I love your vlog and blog. Thank you for showing the world flavorful Vegan meal recipes and strategies. Mahalo from Hawaii. I'm a native Hawaiian fan learning to eat healthy for wellness and longevity.
@@jemmina777 she is youthful tho lol???? I thought that she was in her early-mid 20s but then she mentioned that she's lawyer AND is married so I checked out her age and she's like 33-34. She also has a very nice way of explaining things
Greetings! The algorithm sent me and I'm glad it did! I'm not vegan, but eager to cook more plant-based meals. Everything in this video was SPOT-ON exactly what I was looking for in a weekly meal plan. Pre-prepped building blocks, lots of flavor and different combinations that all look delicious and satisfying. I'd eat every one of these recipes (though I'm a little skeptical about the "meat"). I'm definitely subbing for more!
YESSS. Thank you! I hate, hate when people say living vegan is expensive. It's not. Buying mock meat, cheese, super boujee juice bs is expensive and not the norm for most people who live vegan.
Eating the black beans + sofrito with rice and avocado for lunch today. It is amazing!! I’m so happy this video was suggested for me. I’m not vegan (yet 😆), but I’m loving all of your plant based recipes!!
@@consciousobserver629 so then just buy non organic? It's much cheaper and doesn't use nearly as many pesticides as organic does. But yes! So much cheaper than pre packaged meat products/meals
This actually looks good! I find that some budget friendly vegan/ vegetarian recipes tend to be way too basic and look not so yummy but I absolutely want to try everything in your channel.
You need to continue this series! This is great for college students like me who need to meal! I'd love to see a "different seasons" version of this, where you use cheap seasonal ingredients!
Hi Nisha, I love you!! You are awesome! So fun to watch and learn with you. You have such a fun personality. I hope you are doing really well with Rainbow Plant Life. Not that I have any idea what being a layer is like (except what I see on Law and Order Shows), but I can't imagine you as a lawyer. They never look like they are having to much fun or are very happy. You look like you are having fun and are happy. I truly hope you are. I have spent a lot of time watching you this week. I just found you. Now I have to try some of your recipes. Living in California never really appealed to me until I saw all the wonderful produce you can get year round. I live in Vermont and really look forward to the summer when I can get fresh berries and vegetables. I love farmers markets and food coops. I have only been to an Aldi's once. I just looked up the closest one. It is 1hr and 8 minutes away. Are you a fan of Trader Joe's or Whole Foods Market? Oh....one more thing, can you share some of your hot beverage recipes, I see you sometimes doing hot lates but I never know how much of what to put in. Thanks for what you do. Sorry so long.;
Amazing vegetarian dishes I must say. I love cooking and I am 59 years old have cooked traditional Indian food but have always loved the twist on vegetarian food so lived your budget friendly meal prep and different ideas like tahini in dal, or almond butter going to try it next week
I'm just learning to eat plant based and this video really inspired me. Everything looked so delicious, colorful and I love your style of teaching. Thanks for sharing your recipes!
I am binge watching your videos because I can't get enough. Every video has such appetizing meals. I love your spirit and energy; you are a joy to wash! Thank you for sharing.
Although we ate beans alot growing up I'm not very fond of them, BUT I do enjoy black beans by adding some green olives to the sofrito before adding soaked beans; then add seasonings, tomato paste, veg stock/water-they are so yummy!! These meals you made with beans looks sooo delish I must try too!!😯😀💞
I miss your videos , Im living in Brazil now and I used to watch your videos all the time when I was in Canada . Just love your videos mulch xoooo from Brazil 🇧🇷 😍😘
I’m doing Bright Line Eating & made a BLE breakfast with your awesome recipe! Protein: 6 oz of your saucy black beans Condiment: since the beans are made with tomato Sofrito, I ate 2 more oz beans (8 oz total) & counted it as condiment Grain: 4 oz sweet potatoes Fruit: 1 apple which complimented the spices & salt in the beans. Thanks for helping me learn plant based alternatives to animal protein!
I already cook plant-based food for my family, but watching these videos make me want to continue - even if sometimes I end up spending most of my Saturday in the kitchen :). Whoever hesitates about switching to plants - don't! So many amazing tasty foods....yummy!
I'm so impressed. Beautiful, easy to make food for an entire week? I'm not even vegan but the way you cook is so simple, filling, and healthy that I follow you. Thanks for your hard work!
I am a new vegetarian and new to cooking. My wife has done the cooking for the past 30 years. It's my turn and you are a gem. Max does a good job with the camera. I made your Naan and my wife and adt daughters loved it. Thank You!
Thank you for posting this video! I’ve been WFPB for a year and a half, but often fall into the rut of same old, same old recipes (cooking is not my first talent 😻). This video introduced me to new ideas and less food waste. I’m prepping this morning and pleased, not only that my grocery bill was reduced from previous weeks, but that I have a plan and new recipes to try. Thank you for your contribution.
Everything looks so delicious, I’m excited to try these! I too cannot eat the same thing everyday & neither can my kiddos! Btw way kids and I LOVE your Crunchwrap recipe! My kids get super excited when I make them 🙌🙌 And I recently shared that with my sister and mom! Rave reviews all around. 😄
So happy you’re excited to try these recipes and also amazing that your kids love it when you make the crunchwrap supreme! Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!
Love Aldo- lots of organic foods too! A few of my favorites; organic vegetable broth, organic arugula spinach mix, organic spinach, organic salsa, organic sprouted breads! Yum and saving money- because I can! Oh, they have a lot of organic spices too! Thanks fir sharing your great, easy recipes
straight up the flatbread was just chapati but with so much more effort! chapati is just oil, water, salt and flour, it doesn't need baking powder or soda, so you can use it for other baking ventures, and it cooks the exact same, lots of indian food is actually vegan and because of indian vendors in western countries, it's extremely easy and cheap to put together
Found your channel recently, and so glad I did! You've really found your calling, imo. The world didn't need another lawyer, unless it's a human rights lawyer, can't get enough of those! Life on earth can and is being transformed for the better by inspired chef's like you teaching us the importance of whole plant-based cooking. Out with the futile, oppressive, exploited, and now archaic means of feeding the masses. In with the compassionate, awakening, awe inspiring, delicious and fulfilling real food that feeds the mind, body, and s-o-u-l. Thank you!!!! P.S. You're awesome 😎
You make it look so easy and I know it can be! It just takes some confidence, and fortunately, we have you so my rather puny imagination doesn't have to strain to come up with recipe ideas. Thank you so much, Nisha! I'm excited to hear you are working on another recipe book!
As a plant based eater who has lives in different places i will say the cost is all about location and season. You just have to be flexible and be creative on whats available. Aldi is amazing though. Its quick and simple and they sell whats in season making prices cheaper.
I don't use this word often but you and your content are AMAZING! I am also not vegan but wouldn't hesitate to cook any of these meals. You're so pleasant to listen to, organized, and creative. BTW, I graduated from the Natural Gourmet Cooking School in NYC and, hate to say it, the food was not nearly as appetizing as yours. Your hard work pays off. Great job!
You don't have an oregano price calculator!? 🤪 I too have an addiction to chocolate, Sprouts has a large variety. I love these type of videos. It really takes a brilliant creative mind to create recipes like these. Thank you.
RUclips randomly suggested this video and I am so glad it did! Absolutely love your content and I am excited to actually enjoy cooking again. Today we are going to try your roasted broccoli side and I have never used broccoli stalks before. Thank you for making food context that is not fussy and is something that can give me a growth mindset in the kitchen.
Your channel came into my feed, and I'm so glad it did. I love using leftovers to make new meals each day, as I hate wasting food, so all these meals were great. Plus, I love beans...so a win for me. Only problem, I don't have an Instapot...so cooking the beans does take more time...but....rather do that than reach for any prepackaged type of foods. New sub here from Melbourne, Australia.
just found your channel and Aldi is by coincidence the only supermarket i go because its 1 minute away from my place. i am a vegan for 20 years. i am very amazed with your channel. thank you very much.
I love black beans, I had everything on hand to make them and can I just say THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS!!! Omg I ate them with sliced up avocado freaking amazing, so I’ll be making them often. Gonna try some of the other recipes for sure!
This channel is becoming like, the gold standard for vegan RUclips

I already cook plant-based food for my family, but watching these videos make me want to continue - even if sometimes I end up spending most of my Saturday in the kitchen :). Whoever hesitates about switching to plants - don't! So many amazing tasty foods....yummy!
LOVE these types of videos! This is gonna be our menu for next week! THANKS!
That’s so great to hear Rachel! Thank you!
I'm so impressed. Beautiful, easy to make food for an entire week? I'm not even vegan but the way you cook is so simple, filling, and healthy that I follow you. Thanks for your hard work!
I've never found a video like this on making ridiculously affordable vegan meals for a week. Nice work! I'm changing up my grocery list today. 😀
I love your idea of building blocks versus meal prepping.
Aldi is incredibly smart to
Sponsor you
I am a new vegetarian and new to cooking. My wife has done the cooking for the past 30 years. It's my turn and you are a gem. Max does a good job with the camera.
I made your Naan and my wife and adt daughters loved it. Thank You!
I’m going to enjoy your dishes , I’m interested in trying them all thank you for posting delicious meals my grandson likes the rice pudding.🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for posting this video! I’ve been WFPB for a year and a half, but often fall into the rut of same old, same old recipes (cooking is not my first talent 😻). This video introduced me to new ideas and less food waste. I’m prepping this morning and pleased, not only that my grocery bill was reduced from previous weeks, but that I have a plan and new recipes to try. Thank you for your contribution.
I loved this video! I’m trying to learn how to cook on a budget without getting bored so this was perfect for me!
yay, love when the timing is perfect! glad you found it helpful!
Great recipes Nisha. Looking forward to making some of these. Thanks for the pdf guide, as it's so helpful.
Luv ur cooking style,excellent🥰
If there’s only one thing you take away from this amazing video, let it be the brilliance of how she chops her onions!
Couldn't stop watch the video from the beginning to the end.. Very nice flow, very chill
Everything looks so delicious, I’m excited to try these! I too cannot eat the same thing everyday & neither can my kiddos!
Btw way kids and I LOVE your Crunchwrap recipe! My kids get super excited when I make them 🙌🙌
And I recently shared that with my sister and mom! Rave reviews all around. 😄
So happy you’re excited to try these recipes and also amazing that your kids love it when you make the crunchwrap supreme! Thanks for sharing, Jennifer!
These recipes are great for me to start the new year. Plant based year 2022 here I come!
This was so great to see how to “repurpose” food!! Super! I’ll be making the suffritos !!!❤️ loved this one!
Love Aldo- lots of organic foods too! A few of my favorites; organic vegetable broth, organic arugula spinach mix, organic spinach, organic salsa, organic sprouted breads! Yum and saving money- because I can! Oh, they have a lot of organic spices too! Thanks fir sharing your great, easy recipes
Thank you for the inspiration! You've inspired me to get an instant pot, seems to make cooking beans so much less troublesome
you're most welcome, Katherine! It is a godsend for cooking beans!
It does. The Instant Pot is amazing!
straight up the flatbread was just chapati but with so much more effort! chapati is just oil, water, salt and flour, it doesn't need baking powder or soda, so you can use it for other baking ventures, and it cooks the exact same, lots of indian food is actually vegan and because of indian vendors in western countries, it's extremely easy and cheap to put together
Found your channel recently, and so glad I did!
You've really found your calling, imo.
The world didn't need another lawyer, unless it's a human rights lawyer, can't get enough of those!
Life on earth can and is being transformed for the better by inspired chef's like you teaching us the importance of whole plant-based cooking.
Out with the futile, oppressive, exploited, and now archaic means of feeding the masses.
In with the compassionate, awakening, awe inspiring, delicious and fulfilling real food that feeds the mind, body, and s-o-u-l.
Thank you!!!!
P.S. You're awesome 😎
You make it look so easy and I know it can be! It just takes some confidence, and fortunately, we have you so my rather puny imagination doesn't have to strain to come up with recipe ideas. Thank you so much, Nisha! I'm excited to hear you are working on another recipe book!
Never knew how cheap it was to eat healthy...until I actually tried to eat healthy >.
As a plant based eater who has lives in different places i will say the cost is all about location and season. You just have to be flexible and be creative on whats available. Aldi is amazing though. Its quick and simple and they sell whats in season making prices cheaper.
I don't use this word often but you and your content are AMAZING! I am also not vegan but wouldn't hesitate to cook any of these meals. You're so pleasant to listen to, organized, and creative. BTW, I graduated from the Natural Gourmet Cooking School in NYC and, hate to say it, the food was not nearly as appetizing as yours. Your hard work pays off. Great job!
i dont know what it is, but this girl's voice and the way she talks, it's so satisfying!!
Great video! This should be a mandatory watch for college students.
Please do more of these!! This is amazing!
You don't have an oregano price calculator!? 🤪 I too have an addiction to chocolate, Sprouts has a large variety. I love these type of videos. It really takes a brilliant creative mind to create recipes like these. Thank you.
RUclips randomly suggested this video and I am so glad it did! Absolutely love your content and I am excited to actually enjoy cooking again. Today we are going to try your roasted broccoli side and I have never used broccoli stalks before. Thank you for making food context that is not fussy and is something that can give me a growth mindset in the kitchen.
I am admittedly not vegan, but I love your videos! Lots of great ideas for adding a variety of fun proteins to the diet.
I love how clear you are about everything. Makes it simple enough to give me the confidence to try it myself.
Your channel came into my feed, and I'm so glad it did. I love using leftovers to make new meals each day, as I hate wasting food, so all these meals were great. Plus, I love beans...so a win for me. Only problem, I don't have an Instapot...so cooking the beans does take more time...but....rather do that than reach for any prepackaged type of foods. New sub here from Melbourne, Australia.
You're consuming my saturday. I can't stop watching your videos!
I'm not even vegan but your recipes look soooooo gooooddd you're amazingg
just found your channel and Aldi is by coincidence the only supermarket i go because its 1 minute away from my place. i am a vegan for 20 years. i am very amazed with your channel. thank you very much.
Love the outfit, the rose blouse 😍 great ideas for less money!
Thank you Sara! I’ve had that blouse since 2011!
I love black beans, I had everything on hand to make them and can I just say THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS!!! Omg I ate them with sliced up avocado freaking amazing, so I’ll be making them often. Gonna try some of the other recipes for sure!
Omg Ive never seen that plain unsweetened organic soymilk there! I need to check! Love this video, Aldi should always sponsor you! 😉
