I wanna go vegan after watching your videos -- wish me luck. Thank you. I am sure watching you all your videos will make it easier for me. 💕 God bless you and God bless Crystal too.
Hi Derek, on the sulforaphane topic: From some searching online I've found that store-bought mustard (pre-prepared jars/bottles) may have been heated up at some point in the production process. So it's probably a safer bet to use ground mustard powder as you know it is raw (Some websites say mustard is heated to 118(c) degrees some say 60(c) and some are raw)
If I had a $100 vegan shopping list I'd go vegan I have no clue what to shop for and tuna, spinach, oatmeal, chicken, rice, sweet potatos is an easy shopping list. I need protein so that's why I'd need a good shopping list. I love animals and think even a small fish deserves to have a beautiful life. If anyone could be so kind as to point me in the right direction I'd 100% be grateful and totally go vegan. Thanks in advance and happy mother's day!
I would suggest just dropping the chicken and tuna and adding hummus, tofu, lentils and nuts and nut-butters. (peanut butter sandwich instead of tuna.) (you can get your omega-3s from flaxseed or algae omega 3 supplements.) I've heard that the Forks over Knives website has an excellent meal planner. Good luck! I think you'll really like being vegan once you get going.
Hi, there! Based on the shopping list you wrote, I think chickpea, spinach, oatmeal, soy curls or seitan, rice, sweet potatoes would be a great place to start. Just replacing like with like, chickpea could be mashed up and used just like tuna, soy curls or seitan could be cooked and flavoured just like chicken! I recommend also getting hempseed to add some good fats and extra protein ;) Good luck, and good eating!
Your shopping list is already mostly vegan, you’re off to a good start! Swap chicken and tuna for beans and tofu or tempeh, both are affordable and have a lot of protein. If you use canned beans, make sure you rinse them first, it will help a lot with digestion. Also combine them with rice in your meal to make a complete protein in your body. Here’s an example of everything I ate today: Breakfast: Smoothie made of 2 bananas, 126g of frozen berries, 30g walnuts, 13g flax meal and 1.5 cups soy milk. Also had 2 slices of whole grain toast. Lunch: 85g 50/50 salad mix with 2 tablespoons poppyseed dressing and a whole package of tempeh chopped and tossed. Snack: Sumo orange Dinner: 1 can chickpeas drained and rinsed stir fried with 3oz of kale, 186g stir fry veggies and 1/2 cup brown rice, made a quick sauce out of vegenaise, mustard, nutritional yeast and tahini I’m 6’6 and 273 lbs, eating a little under 2600 calories a day. Today I had 110g protein, all vegan. Every body is different, and please note I’m not a professional, I just am a nutrition education student. I’m just saying that for me personally, it’s very possible and easy to eat clean while eating enough to build muscle. I hope I this helps!!
As someone else said, replacing tuna with chickpeas (garbanzo beans) is cheap and easy. Look up some easy recipes for chickpea toona or “tuna.” Add some lemon pepper seasoning to that and oh man!! Protein is not even an issue on a plant based diet. As he says in the video, I would be more concerned about zinc and things like that. Make sure you eat plenty of ALA Omega 3 from chia, flax, and walnuts and supplement a couple times a week with a vegan DHA/EPA pill. Can usually find them decently priced on Amazon. Algae makes DHA so you’re just taking the fish out of the equation. Protein is still important so be sure to look up good plant based protein sources. Pistachios are now considered a “complete protein.” Just eat a variety of plants and you’ll be pretty much ok. Like everyone else, vegan or not, you should also take a D3 and B12 supplement a few times a week. Iodine is also really important so make sure you use iodized salt or eat some seaweed regularly. Just don’t be one of those super restrictive fruitarian, smoothie only, fat free plant based people and you’ll be fine. Eat balanced and sensibly.
You should do a video trying to make all the home made sprouts like make your own lentil sprouts, mung bean sprouts etc. (And fun ways to use them.) After your tips, of course! What is this cliffhangar thing?!?! Haha, kidding. I appreciate you.
I live in an apartment iwish there was an alotment nearby but just me and the extended window sill ... I've done broccoli sprouts, making sauerkraut is not rocket science; recently I got a kit for microgreens; have a cat who eats everything so just growing herbs (the Scarborough Fair gang) which can't hurt her and great in cooking. NOT a big investment, in time or money.
Don't beat yrself up. My sis was fanatically vegan and wanted me to throw out everything leather that happened to be part of a vr small wardrobe not to mention examining my cabinet to make sure all products were vegan sourced etc. 3 yrs later .... Keto and her perfectly healthy wonderful husband developed gout. A pizza is a very minor offence!!!!!!!
Great video Derek! Just wanted to mention, as vegans, if you are WFPB, you don't need to consume fat with meals. Fat comes naturally in food, which is more than enough. On top of that, if you're eating a varied WFPB diet, you are actually over consuming a lot of nutrients. Not to mention, as WFPB, if you went a day without consuming, say your 2 tbsps of flax, the fat that comes naturally in food is more than enough to facilitate that for us. However, those who don't eat a varied diet and more western style, should do this, as they don't consume anywhere enough plants and need all the boost they can get. Remember, RDI's are what the food provides, by itself. They don't include the fact that plants come naturally with fat and that will assist in providing more of those nutrients naturally, without having to worry about actually adding fat. More tips please! We always want more Derek.........and okay Crystal tooo =P hehe
Derek Simnett watches the vegan ultra endurance athlete Rich Roll, RUclips, great podcasts. Like me also a recovering alcoholic, so I really appreciate his (Rich Roll's) story. I started sprouting broccoli ... so easy to do as a result of one of the many inspiring guests he has on his show. Highly recommend!
Yes please!!! I love the what, why and how of nutritional science you share-I’m glued to the screen (even the hubby watched with fascination!) I’m so happy to know that my love for onions and garlic are paying off! Thanks Derek ♥️🌱♥️
Thanks for the amazing video! Ever since you started referencing the pepper turmeric combo I had been wondering about other combos that enhance one another Maybe you should do one for foods that shouldn't go together because the cancel each other!
Actually I would also be interested; food combining in its zaniest forms not mentioning names is silly HOWEVER; vit C yes enhances iron absorption but oxalates in great foods like spinach beets and swiss chard inhibit calcium absorption .. not sure to what extent ... also coffee so yes without getting fanatical about it, it's good to be mindful of stuff like that. I'm older and calcium and bone density is important so I am mindful.
These videos gives me a PhD in good foods from your knowledge and information.. could literally listen to you all day on this topic (i also love all your other videos with you or with you and crystal too)!
Amazing health tips as always! I have been adding turmeric and black pepper to my smoothie ever since you explained it. Luckily I rarely cook without garlic or onion :D
Hello. It’s me, Miss Kadie, That Vegan Teacher. Just wanted to say hello to my fellow Canadian & let you know that I am enjoying your presentations! I did a review of your video on my channel and told everyone to follow you. The only thing I hope for, in each of your videos, is that you will mention factory farming and how ethically wrong it is to eat animals, in order to remind viewers that the it’s our moral responsibility to help them. Thanks for being vegan! I just subscribed. 🫐🍉🍓🍒🍏🍌🍆🥝🥑🥦🥕
That was really interesting! I heard that if you add acidic ingredients to you dark leafy greens you absorb more iron and vitamin C also helps absorb iron. So there's plenty of combos to maximise your iron consumption. It's also important not to go overboard with these combos because there is such a thing as too much iron
THANK YOU !!! YOU'VE BEEN HELPING ME OUT SO MUCH!!!! BECAUSE OF YOU I'VE BEEN PUTTING TURMERIC & BLACK PEPPER IN MY GREEN SMOOTHIES AFTER MY WORKOUT!!!!!! 😊😊😊
Thank you for the informative video! Enjoyed it very much! I’d love if you could make more vids like these, I appreciate all the informative knowledge you have to share!!🤗
Going to add onions and garlic in my whole grains morning cornflakes now xD (And as always, one of the best vegan youtuber out there! Thanks for all these precious informations)
Love the amazing advice, would love to see a few more of these. Always new things to learn. I know mushrooms could be a source of vitamin D but you just opened my eyes to the fact that most store bought mushrooms don't see the light of day really. Thank you so much for doing this video. 💗
Hey Derek, such great tips! However your recommendation to add mustard (the commercially prepared condiment) should be revised as it's not going to help with sulforaphane production. The research was done using mustard powder (ground raw mustard seeds) because mustard (the plant) is a cruciferous vegetable and its seeds contain myrosinase. Since prepared mustard has been cooked, the enzyme has been destroyed and no longer available for sulforaphane production. A raw cruciferous (mustard powder is one option) needs to be added after cooking so there's active myrosinase present. You could also just incorporate some raw cruciferous in the same meal like radish, arugula, broccoli sprouts, cabbage, etc to accomplish the same thing. Love your videos and looking forward to part 2! Btw, the reason frozen commercial cruciferous can't produce sulforaphane is because it's been blanched (destroying the myrosinase) prior to freezing to inhibit enzymatic activity.
So informative! I’m definitely going to start cooking with mustard seeds when I make my broccoli now, and making sure to add a little mustard to my dressings.
I would love to see another of these! Also wondering if you could either maybe do an amazing food series or just some kind of video a bit more on sulphurofane (I know I butchered the spelling haha!) and also talk some about broccoli sprouts?! They're such an amazing source of this nutrient!!
I'd love a follow up with your other tips. Another way to get mushrooms with D: forage your own! That way you get food for free! Lots of edible plants and fungi to boost your nutrition :)
I love how you pull the info together -- like vitamins from mangos in the morning can get absorbed by fats at dinner. I consider myself a nutrition nerd, and I did not know about mustard on cruciferous veggies to boost the sulfurophane. I knew about the cutting them 45 minutes ahead, but it's nice to be reminded. I'm not sure I ever took that one to heart.Thanks!
I’m sure you already know this but I’m newly vegan and recently learned that pairing vitamin c rich foods with iron rich foods also increases the absorption of iron in the body, which gives me an additional reason to have a mandarin orange at every meal 😬 I would also love another video like this! Being newly vegan it’s super helpful to learn how to pair foods and increase nutrient absorption!
I heard that oranges contain calcium which inhibits the iron absorption, so It’s important to pair your iron with a Vitamin rich food that doesn’t contain as much calcium.
I really appreciate you and Chrystal for all you're contributing to the vegan community (and helping to keep us vegan). I'm wondering if you have any ideas on what to bring to a BBQ. Can we grill tempeh or tofu? Any ideas for grilled veggies?
Great vid! Another tip: with turmeric (and other spices), if it's not organic you're losing 90% of the nutrients, so buy organic if you're looking for the health benefits :)
I was putting fresh turmeric + crushed black pepper in my morning green smoothies and my mum was saying if I have turmeric everyday it will make me sterile?! That doesn't sound right but Derek can you please shed some light on this? Love watching your informative videos!!
I love buying fresh turmeric, pureeing it and then freeze it in little tiny portions. I add it into my smoothies but I think the bright spicy flavour works AMAZING with a fruit smoothie. It’s my new favourite thing!
I saw a video recently of a marinade for tofu where you stored the food in a ziploc bag, but I can't find it anymore. I think it was a simple 3-ingredient marinade. Thanks Derek! Love your videos!
Absolutely! Another five, another ten, whatever ya got! 👍

Funny, my favourite snack lately is steamed brocolli and brussel sprouts with mustard, had no idea it is such a good combination

I saw a video recently of a marinade for tofu where you stored the food in a ziploc bag, but I can't find it anymore. I think it was a simple 3-ingredient marinade. Thanks Derek! Love your videos!
Yes part 2 please.
Wow thank you so much! Didnt know those! Yes please more info like that! Sooo interesting! Thank you!
