I think you should do after the cookbook. What do you continue to make from the cookbook and which cookbook has every single recipe being excellent--think in terms of you could only invest in 1 cookbook which one gives the most bang for or your buck.
Great video. Very informative, especially for those new to or considering a WFPB lifestyle. The initial stocking of my pantry with items I didn’t use before was the most expensive. I use a lot more spices, vinegars, dates, nuts, seeds, etc now. Honestly, Walmart has come a long way. I’m able to find most of what I need there, organic and many specialty items. My Walmart (not all do) even has Date Lady date syrup for less than what it is online and no shipping. I drive 40 miles to Trader Joe’s/Sprouts and Costco about once a month, to fill in. Sorry for the lengthy comment, I’m just so excited about this lifestyle and hope more people come on board. Thanks again!
Greetings from Atlanta GA, USA. My best tip is to order groceries for pick up. I do my shopping after a meal with a snack so I don't impulse buy. It costs the same as going in and I save time.
Thanks for subbing! And 100% - I'm always confused when people say plant-based is expensive. I think they mean when places over-charge for plant-based items as swaps in restaurants. Like when some coffee shops charge extra for non-dairy milk. ERG
I regularly make tomato soup and I eat this soup not only as soup but the next day, for example, as a pasta sauce. Just add some vegetables and some Italian herbs (often not even necessary because the thyme that I use in the tomato soup is tasty enough). Tomato soup is also a good basis for many Indian recipes or Mexican recipes. Add lentils or beans and some vegetables and herbs and the tomato soup suddenly becomes a completely different recipe. Oh yes, and at the end of the week you can often make a delicious vegetable dish from all the leftover vegetables. Greetings from the Netherlands
Tennessee Polish auntie's favorite leftovers: chop up leftover bits and bobs, mix them with some spices and chickpea flour (and a little rice flour for crispness if you have it). Add a little liquid as needed to form patties, or more for pancake batter and fry them up. Serve with gravy, chutney, or sauce of choice. A good save for recipe fails.
Firstly, found your channel recently - always looking for new really easy plant based cooking videos! Been watching quite a few this past week. Secondly, thank you so much for this video!!! LOVE all the tips, Jeremy! I plan to keep this particular video handy to re-watch when I need to. Oh, I'm watching from Indiana, PA. I'm an empty-nester; my son moved out a few years & has his own family (he lives near Pittsburgh, over an hour away, so I don't get to see him much. As a senior who lives alone, I find it challenging to actually cook healthy for myself - lack of motivation, NOT laziness! Also, LOVE you & your family & all your interactions!!!!
My pleasure!!! I’m glad this is so helpful to you!!!! Cooking for one certainly can be challenging. If you’ve got a freezer you can always freeze extras and pull them out later. Let me know if there’s a topic that would particularly helpful for you and I’ll try to make something. Thanks for the love for our family!!!
Watching from the Detroit Michigan area. Recently retired and learning to cook vegan. Love your funny and informative videos! Your family gives you feedback that is real and reminds me of the responses I get from my family!
Love this! I just started sharing videos on my RUclips channel about how our family of 4 has made this WFPB lifestyle work for us for the past 14 years. Keeping it simple and our Instant Pots (yes, plural 😂) have been key!
Instant pot is going out of business, at least their operations in the US have closed down. Their business model is terrible. Their Instant Pots are built to well, they don't break down, so people are not buying new ones. I am thinking to purchase another one, in case something will ever happen to my instant pot😅. Another great video, thank you.
Just found your channel, I have to admit I've been binge watching! Have you cooked from Party in Your Plants yet by Talia Pollock? I'd love to see you choose that book. A book with a name as fun as PB with J, haha. Love how real you all are. Great job!
Hello from Joplin Missouri! I love watching your videos. Your family is so charming. I am gluten free like your wife so seeing how you modify recipes to make them gluten free is very helpful. I have always been very bad at meal planning, but recently I have been copying you by picking a cookbook and cooking from it for a week. This makes it like a game. So, thank you!!! Someone already said this, but having your groceries delivered/pick-up saves me so much money! Even with delivery fees, I would have spent much more if I went into the store (and bought unhealthy splurges).
Hi Envy!!! So glad the modifications are helpful! So fun that we've inspired you to grab a cookbook and just dive into it for a week! Find any gems we should consider??? And yes - great tip using the delivery - we do that ourselves - although we're pretty good just sticking to the list (unless the kids tag along - but they know they can get one "treat" - which usually isn't even all that treaty by traditional standards)
Just read in the paper recently, that the Instant Pot went out of business. Don't know if they sold it to another company, but the article said they tried to branch out and offer other things and it did not work. Don't know. Luckily, I got both the small and larger one some time ago, so I'm set for life (I think).
We are practically neighbours 😊 hello from London ON 😊😊 great channel…been watching it a lot with my 10 year old son. He finds your videos really fun and interesting and wants to try things he sees you make so that’s a win!
Oh wow!!! Thank you for sharing - this made my day!!!! Please let me know if you make any of them and what he likes!!! Also - I’m in London right now!!! Just for the night. Took the family to Zen Za for pizza!!!
@@pbwithjeremy now that is a crazy coincidence haha he has his eye on the smoothie with the cookie dough balls (go figure) 😂 actually he’s my little conscious foodie, always wanting to make good choice while also being kind to animals and the planet. Proud mama here. My 13 year old will eat what I make as long as it’s good, all about the yum 🤣
International grocery stores are great! Spice prices there are the bomb. Even at a regular grocery store, you should check the "Latin Section" for spices. At my old grocery, the normal spices were in the $3-15 range. In the Latin Section, they were $.88-5. Grains were much cheaper in the Latin or Middle Eastern Sections. Absolutely worth looking around at various options, even at your normal store. My Korean market has a ton of unusual veg I can't find anywhere else.
Love your Channel! I am from Pennsylvania, USA. Your channel gives the those of us seeking recipe ideas and techniques for cooking them with fantastic humor. It’s like plant based stand up. Love the banter with your family. Your guys are great❤
Vancouver so always interested in prices. Couscous is pasta, not a grain. Salvation Army/ thrift, Craigslist, etc is what I use for appliances vs buying new. I try to find the "about to go off" section because I hate waste. Being in Vancouver and not needing a car, it can get time consuming but going to different stores and buying what's on sale through the week and then making meals around that are my jam. I still write things down so I don't go off the rails but it usually works out.
When I went completely plant based my grocery budget for the month went from $400 to $250.00. I am single and usually eat leftovers from the night before for lunch. I almost always make enough for several meals and freeze them in portion size bags. I also buy for the month at 1 trip then I can buy larger quantities which almost always cost less. Fresh veggies from my local farm are a weekly purchase. This month I plan to have around $40 00 left over
Wow! Great work! We try to do similar and just load up on produce weekly. Doesn't always work out as we've got two teenagers with endless pitts for stomachs : )
I've only been trying for about 2wks. I'm earing mostly raw, no dairy or meat ect. I'm doing Dr Gs HN, so trying to eat 16oz per day, finding it easier to drink smoothies, I am eating salad, baked potatoes but I love cheese and butter on my potatoes so I'm not eating potatoes xx Im uk, we dont have as much variety as in canada and uda x
Fantastic content, so clear, concise and helpful! I just got my first instant Pot and so far made only soy yogurt (1 success and 1 failure). I just ordered a Euro Cuisine yogurt strainer to create a greek yogurt consistency. I am determined to get it right! I would love to see a video of demonstrations of how you make dried beans and various grains in the IP. I know there is a lot on RUclips, but I would love to see it in one of your videos because I like how you explain things. Thank you!
Took me a few tries to get yogurt figured out. I actually have a video idea for the new year with an Instant Pot compilation, so perhaps I could incluide this information in it!
Loved, loved, loved this reel, please write a book, get sponsorship from everyone. Love your channel, and your website, just an ordinary bloke ( extraordinary of course!, obviously) with teens to feed, not a lean tanned pouting lady, yawn , certainly not me. Especially as your family like desserts which some channels see as satanic. Keep them coming, Loads of love from the Uk x
I miss all the ethnic stores I would shop at before moving from the GTA to North Bay but I have found a few online. I would also suggest to price match which has helped with pantry items as well as fruits and vegetables
I live in Auckland, New Zealand. Being such a small country and far from other countries we get not much imported fresh produce so nearly all seasonal. Unfortunately we have two main supermarket chains and these are expensive and not competitive. For many years I used a pressure cooker for cooking beans but I now have the marvellous Instant Pot. Have you tried baking potatoes in the Instant Pot? Much quicker than in the oven. We don’t have a microwave.
Sorry to hear about the situation where you live. That's gotta make you creative in the kitchen though! I have done potatoes - but more for steaming. Have you baked them? do they come out crispy??
@@pbwithjeremy no, they don’t come out crispy. Lovely and fluffy inside but need to be finished off in the oven or air fryer to get them crispy on the outside.
Great video! We've been on a super tight budget this year and I have found it even easier to eat plant based on a budget! We just stay away from the premade goodies. 😊
I'm so glad that you mentioned the International grocery stores! They have phenomenal prices on their produce and spices! And the variety, forget about it! It's unmatched compared to my local "regular" grocery stores! And if you're looking for something or can't find it, the employees are super nice and helpful! I love the warehouse stores like Costco, Sam's Club, & BJ's! Excellent stores to stock up on bulk foods! If I need something quick, the Farmer's Market or we have Aldi's here in The States. Oh! I LOVE the chia pudding blended! It's soooo good! This was great for folks that don't know where to start! Cheers! 😁
I found a great food processor at the Goodwill for 6.99. I’ve been using it lately to make pear sauce and pear butter. But I’ve also used it to make a vegan parm cheez (had several ask for the recipe at potluck). I think I’m going to try using it to prep veggies.
I live approx 2 hrs away from Ottawa, in a small rural area. Where I have access to 1 grocery store in one town and a few regular grocery stores about an hour away where I work, I use dry beans, grains potatoes frozen veggies, and fruit, I also grow most of my veggies in the summer, again a little extra work and money but you yield so much it is definitely cheaper in the long run
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing! There's always a solution, sadly sometimes it means extra work for ourselves, but the results are worth it. We grow some of our own veggies too. Food prices are getting insane no matter where you live.
Hey neighbour. I'm in Hamilton. I keep meaning to check out the Indian grocery store that is directly behind me. I just moved. I had some random person tell me at the park that they have amazing prices on meat. I just politely thanked them, but meant to check it out for all of the other stuff. Thanks for the reminder.
Howdy!!! Let me know what sorta deals you find there - those places are usually goldmines! The Indian grocery near our place sells bananas that are starting to spot for next to nothing - perfect for baking, smoothies, etc...
This video just came up in my feed to watch. So glad it did! Really looking forward to watching more content and hitting up your website! New subscriber for sure! Also, from KC for now….although trying to save to move to Alaska!
My favorite food stores are Costco and Trader Joe’s, and then Stop and Shop or ShopRite for items not found in my top 2 stores. I have a Vitamix and a cuisinart but I don’t have an instant pot. What size do you recommend? I also like to batch cook and freeze soups and stews. My crock pot is 6 quarts and I wish I had an 8 quart. Do you have an instant pot demonstration video? I don’t know how to use one and am a bit intimidated by the pressure cooker release aspect. Lots of good tips here! Thanks!
My pleasure! Instant Pot seems to have gone bankrupt as a company (I think because they tried to make other products and they didn't work as well - IP is SOLID) so if you're going to get one I'd do it soon - I highly recommend. They're REALLY easy to use - seriously. Lots of information on the web. And in the videos where I use it I explain how. There are other pressure cookers on the market too. Sadly we don't have Trader Joe's in Canada, but whenever I'm stateside I stock up!!!
Hi from the UK, we are eating lots of fresh produce from our garden at the moment and my freezer is bursting with produce can’t use quickly enough. I have stopped canning much food, I prefer fresh or frozen.
@@pbwithjeremy we are currently harvesting strawberries, blackberries, apples, pears, tomatoes, cucumber, courgette, gherkins, raspberries, potatoes, beetroot and carrots. We did have broccoli and cauliflower but first a hare ate them and when they recovered they got caterpillars and even though you can soak them to get rid it creeped me out so much I can’t eat them any more!
I almost ate a bug in a caulflower casserole we made - didn't find it till after it was cooked. UGH. Your crop sounds AMAZING!!! So lucky! We try to garden ourselves - what's your secret to it?
Found your channel recently, watching from the tropical paradise of Cairns in Australia. I love the testing recipes from cookbooks. I would like to see some recipes tested from Beat Cancer Kitchen. I am fortunate to live near some farms, we get bananas for $2 a kilo (Aus)and imperfect avocados 4 for $2, pumpkin $3 each. We also have a veggie patch but not sure the cost of that is cheaper than the grocery store.
Welcome!!!! A few people have recommended that book so it’s on the list for sure!!! Mmmmm cheap bananas and avocados. Heaven!!! So do you grow some of your own veg???
@pbwithjeremy we grow tomatoes, lettuce, bok choy, chilli, spring onion and we tried to grow capsicum (bell pepper) and we tried to grow leeks but it was not successful.
That's awesome - we're constantly playing and exploring in our garden - maybe I'll do a haul video of what we grow this year? Would that be interesting?
What's yours? For me, the smoothness of this was a game-changer. And I'm proud that a lot of the people who have said they've never liked chia pudding changed their mind after this one.
@@pbwithjeremy Chocolate Chia Pudding 1/3 cup chia seeds 1/4 cup raw cacao powder 1/4 cup pure maple syrup 1 can full-fat coconut milk Stir all ingredients together, cover and refrigerate overnight - it gets very thick and has an ice cream texture... I like to top it with hemp seeds and banana or berries *Note: if you substitute the coconut milk with soy milk, it will get a slimy texture 👎
Yours will be fattier for sure - mine uses just plan non-dairy unsweetened milk, dates instead of maple syrup, the rest is the same basically. And blending. Let me know what you think!!! I'm curious to try yours!
@@pbwithjeremy just made your recipe and it’s in the fridge for dessert tonight. You’ll have to make mine and we’ll swap notes lol We should do a video with our kids trying both and see which one wins 😜
Bonjour, je vous écoute de Montreal, Quebec. Thank you for all the information you give on your chanel and web site. I love the taste of oats but do not like the texture of oatsmeal, il is to muchy for me, do you have a alternative beside cranola bars and granola for eating oats for breakfast?
There's a ceramic dish in my house that's always at least filled up halfway with a batch of it. I can make that stuff in my sleep now :) nom nom nom So glad you like it!
Eugene Oregon. I am overwhelmed by the "4 Serving" I m it. There's no one else. I see those recipes and I think "Do I really want to eat curry for 4 days?"
Totally get that - maybe consider cutting the recipes in half and then you're only eating 2? Or freeze extra portions so you're not eating them all at once maybe? Hope this helps a little!
I love my instant pot too but I’m having issues with it and it’s only a few months old. I tried to do a delayed start for oat groats, so it would be ready in the morning. I have looked at the directions and I have looked on RUclips and I do not think my delay button works. I have the instant pot duo Pro. I believe it has the whisper quiet steam cover on the top & a dial knob button from for selecting & time, and a button that says delay. When I try to go through the steps and press delay, the light doesn’t light up, and nothing happens with the clock. When I press and hold the cancel button, all the lights shine up on the front of the pot including the delay button, so there is a light that works on the delay button, that’s it. Anyone else have trouble with this feature?
I had 7 ounces of white beans into a giant, 32 ounce smoothie with 3 ounces of kale, blueberries, strawberries, orange, and it turns into a meal with a ton of nutrition
Here in the US, those of us who focused on plant based eating didn’t suffer the degree of sticker shock when our inflation sky rocketed because it was the processed food that took the hit. A $3 bag of green went up 25 cents. A$3 load of bread went up $1.50. And cookies and chips? That was just too sad to talk about.
Great video with many helpful tips, so thank you! I have to tease you a bit. I don't think you're an actual Canadian. I'm pretty sure you are Italian switched at birth. Your hand gestures are very Mediterranean! Please keep the budget ideas and WFPB meal planning ideas coming. Thanks as always!
I don't see the need for PB recipe books.. any recipe is easy to modify.. I often used to swap mince beef for bell peppers & mushrooms, etc. The more highly flavoured the sauce, the less significant is the "meat".. as per the cuisines of the poor.
@@pbwithjeremy As I see it, the problem is that the proposed, WFPB solution to the SAD isn't going to happen. For most, a PB future will involve swapping processed food comprising some animal products, for processed food comprising none. If processed food is "the devil", rather than any WFs, what is gained by folk?
Great video! I agree with your appliance choices .I too bought a refurbished Vitamix. A Ninja Professional food processor is relatively inexpensive.I would add a Nutribullet. As I mentioned before, Dillon and Reebs Holmes(Well Your World) have amazing delicious and quick big pot meals. Loving your Channel from South Central Massachusetts, USA.Check out Simnett Nutrition.
Thanks for this - already a big fan of Derek at Simnett - I've been following him for years - a fellow Canuck :) Can't remember if it was you that inspried it, but looking to maybe do a Well Your World "What I Eat" video at some point :)
@@pbwithjeremy I am a Well Your World fan. I have their three cookbooks. Their starch blaster is a great recipe. I also love a Colcannon Soup one from one of their videos. I believe it's regarding fan favorites for weight loss. Mexican Charro Beans are also a hit! Bin Appetit!!!!
Hi, I was wondering if you and your Family would give the "How not to Die" cookbook by Michael Greger a go. I would love to see what you think. Terri from Australia 🦘🇦🇺 💜
I think you should do after the cookbook. What do you continue to make from the cookbook and which cookbook has every single recipe being excellent--think in terms of you could only invest in 1 cookbook which one gives the most bang for or your buck.
Good idea.
This is a great idea. I was thinking of doing a compilation in December of all the books I did this year. That might help??
Yes! I’d love to see that.
Great video. Very informative, especially for those new to or considering a WFPB lifestyle. The initial stocking of my pantry with items I didn’t use before was the most expensive. I use a lot more spices, vinegars, dates, nuts, seeds, etc

New sub...yes, when you think about the high cost of meat, cheeses, dairy, eggs...MUCH cheaper to go plant-based!!!!!! Buying in season is crucial...

Especially as your family like desserts which some channels see as satanic. Keep them coming, Loads of love from the Uk x
Desserts are heavenly!! Thank you for all the kind words and love from across the pond!!! This means so much to me :)
Aldi is a great store for cheap vegan foods. I can get a block of tofu for 1.50 US. Bananas were 38 cents today. Beans under a dollar...etc.
So sad that we don’t have Aldi in Canada!
Great tips for our American viewers!!!!
@@pbwithjeremy Aldi has stores in 11 different countries (vegan selection in Europe is amazing) - it's criminal you all don't have them.
I miss all the ethnic stores I would shop at before moving from the GTA to North Bay but I have found a few online. I would also suggest to price match which has helped with pantry items as well as fruits and vegetables
Great tips here! And yeah, being in a big city helps a lot - but the world is online these days. Happy you've found some solutions!
I find Freshco here in Huntsville, ON has a very good, well priced international section
Im from Hillsboro Oregon, right outside Portland.😊
I’m desperate to go to Portland!
been vegan for 5 years but need to start budgeting. The video was very informative, thank you!😊
Glad it was helpful!
I live in Auckland, New Zealand. Being such a small country and far from other countries we get not much imported fresh produce so nearly all seasonal. Unfortunately we have two main supermarket chains and these are expensive and not competitive. For many years I used a pressure cooker for cooking beans but I now have the marvellous Instant Pot. Have you tried baking potatoes in the Instant Pot? Much quicker than in the oven. We don’t have a microwave.
Sorry to hear about the situation where you live. That's gotta make you creative in the kitchen though! I have done potatoes - but more for steaming. Have you baked them? do they come out crispy??
@@pbwithjeremy no, they don’t come out crispy. Lovely and fluffy inside but need to be finished off in the oven or air fryer to get them crispy on the outside.
SUPER SMART> Love this hack, Brilliant!
Great video! We've been on a super tight budget this year and I have found it even easier to eat plant based on a budget! We just stay away from the premade goodies. 😊
Yup - that's the real savings!
I'm so glad that you mentioned the International grocery stores! They have phenomenal prices on their produce and spices! And the variety, forget about it! It's unmatched compared to my local "regular" grocery stores! And if you're looking for something or can't find it, the employees are super nice and helpful! I love the warehouse stores like Costco, Sam's Club, & BJ's! Excellent stores to stock up on bulk foods! If I need something quick, the Farmer's Market or we have Aldi's here in The States. Oh! I LOVE the chia pudding blended! It's soooo good! This was great for folks that don't know where to start! Cheers! 😁
Thank you for all of this - great tips in here and so happy you love the blended pudding! Game changer, right?
I also love adding some precooked potato to my tofu scrambles 😋
So good!
Instant Pot beans for the win!
Watching from Bentonville, Arkansas. I really enjoy your channel!
Awesome! Thank you!!!
I found a great food processor at the Goodwill for 6.99. I’ve been using it lately to make pear sauce and pear butter. But I’ve also used it to make a vegan parm cheez (had several ask for the recipe at potluck). I think I’m going to try using it to prep veggies.
Great find!!!! Those things can be super expensive!
I live in Arlington, Virginia, USA- Thanks for a great video, I'm new to your channel and am learning some good tips.
Thanks for watching! So glad this is helpful!!
I live approx 2 hrs away from Ottawa, in a small rural area. Where I have access to 1 grocery store in one town and a few regular grocery stores about an hour away where I work, I use dry beans, grains potatoes frozen veggies, and fruit, I also grow most of my veggies in the summer, again a little extra work and money but you yield so much it is definitely cheaper in the long run
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing! There's always a solution, sadly sometimes it means extra work for ourselves, but the results are worth it. We grow some of our own veggies too. Food prices are getting insane no matter where you live.
Also - we have the same last name!
Yep we do...lol @@pbwithjeremy
From Oshawa. Love your channel.
Thanks for watching! Judi!!!
Hey neighbour. I'm in Hamilton. I keep meaning to check out the Indian grocery store that is directly behind me. I just moved. I had some random person tell me at the park that they have amazing prices on meat. I just politely thanked them, but meant to check it out for all of the other stuff. Thanks for the reminder.
Howdy!!! Let me know what sorta deals you find there - those places are usually goldmines! The Indian grocery near our place sells bananas that are starting to spot for next to nothing - perfect for baking, smoothies, etc...
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
I love your videos and am watching from Moravia NY!
THank you! We did a video recently on a family trip to NYC - look it up if you want to see something close to home :)
This video just came up in my feed to watch. So glad it did! Really looking forward to watching more content and hitting up your website! New subscriber for sure! Also, from KC for now….although trying to save to move to Alaska!
Awesome! Thank you! Glad to have you here :)
Yum! All good. ❤
Thank you 😋
Hello! I’m new to your channel. Thank you for the content. You’re doing a great job! 😁
Thanks for subbing!
Great tips! Watching from Arkansas.
Thank you!
My favorite food stores are Costco and Trader Joe’s, and then Stop and Shop or ShopRite for items not found in my top 2 stores. I have a Vitamix and a cuisinart but I don’t have an instant pot. What size do you recommend? I also like to batch cook and freeze soups and stews. My crock pot is 6 quarts and I wish I had an 8 quart. Do you have an instant pot demonstration video? I don’t know how to use one and am a bit intimidated by the pressure cooker release aspect. Lots of good tips here! Thanks!
My pleasure! Instant Pot seems to have gone bankrupt as a company (I think because they tried to make other products and they didn't work as well - IP is SOLID) so if you're going to get one I'd do it soon - I highly recommend. They're REALLY easy to use - seriously. Lots of information on the web. And in the videos where I use it I explain how. There are other pressure cookers on the market too.
Sadly we don't have Trader Joe's in Canada, but whenever I'm stateside I stock up!!!
Hi from the UK, we are eating lots of fresh produce from our garden at the moment and my freezer is bursting with produce can’t use quickly enough. I have stopped canning much food, I prefer fresh or frozen.
Thanks for writing! What are you growing in your garden???
@@pbwithjeremy we are currently harvesting strawberries, blackberries, apples, pears, tomatoes, cucumber, courgette, gherkins, raspberries, potatoes, beetroot and carrots. We did have broccoli and cauliflower but first a hare ate them and when they recovered they got caterpillars and even though you can soak them to get rid it creeped me out so much I can’t eat them any more!
I almost ate a bug in a caulflower casserole we made - didn't find it till after it was cooked. UGH. Your crop sounds AMAZING!!! So lucky! We try to garden ourselves - what's your secret to it?
Unsure if you’ve cooked through The Blue Zone cookbook, would love to watch 😊great recipes
I have in the past but not yet on the channel - on the list!
This is such a great video!! Thank you so much from Boston! 😊🌱
You are so welcome!
Found your channel recently, watching from the tropical paradise of Cairns in Australia. I love the testing recipes from cookbooks. I would like to see some recipes tested from Beat Cancer Kitchen. I am fortunate to live near some farms, we get bananas for $2 a kilo (Aus)and imperfect avocados 4 for $2, pumpkin $3 each. We also have a veggie patch but not sure the cost of that is cheaper than the grocery store.
Welcome!!!! A few people have recommended that book so it’s on the list for sure!!! Mmmmm cheap bananas and avocados. Heaven!!! So do you grow some of your own veg???
@pbwithjeremy we grow tomatoes, lettuce, bok choy, chilli, spring onion and we tried to grow capsicum (bell pepper) and we tried to grow leeks but it was not successful.
That's awesome - we're constantly playing and exploring in our garden - maybe I'll do a haul video of what we grow this year? Would that be interesting?
@@pbwithjeremy show what you plant and updates and finally the harvest.
@@busybee63 Passed the planting part of the season - maybe for next year!
Watching from Kingston, Ontario
Howdy!!!! My sons fav place in Kingston is Harpers Burger Bar!
Ooh I have a good chia pudding recipe but…. gonna have to make this one for sure
What's yours? For me, the smoothness of this was a game-changer. And I'm proud that a lot of the people who have said they've never liked chia pudding changed their mind after this one.
@@pbwithjeremy Chocolate Chia Pudding
1/3 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup raw cacao powder
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 can full-fat coconut milk
Stir all ingredients together, cover and refrigerate overnight - it gets very thick and has an ice cream texture... I like to top it with hemp seeds and banana or berries
*Note: if you substitute the coconut milk with soy milk, it will get a slimy texture 👎
@@pbwithjeremy I like the idea of blending it! Will try this week and let you know how it compares 😜
Yours will be fattier for sure - mine uses just plan non-dairy unsweetened milk, dates instead of maple syrup, the rest is the same basically. And blending. Let me know what you think!!! I'm curious to try yours!
@@pbwithjeremy just made your recipe and it’s in the fridge for dessert tonight. You’ll have to make mine and we’ll swap notes lol
We should do a video with our kids trying both and see which one wins 😜
Food processor changed my life 🙌
Right?! It's practically essential if you're going to be plant-based, IMO
Great Video!
Thanks for the visit
Bonjour, je vous écoute de Montreal, Quebec. Thank you for all the information you give on your chanel and web site. I love the taste of oats but do not like the texture of oatsmeal, il is to muchy for me, do you have a alternative beside cranola bars and granola for eating oats for breakfast?
I do!!! Try this and let me know what you think: pbwithj.ca/recipe/blended-cocoa-oats-recipe/
I tried your granola recipe and it was delicious
There's a ceramic dish in my house that's always at least filled up halfway with a batch of it. I can make that stuff in my sleep now :) nom nom nom So glad you like it!

Greetings!!!
Eugene Oregon. I am overwhelmed by the "4 Serving" I m it. There's no one else. I see those recipes and I think "Do I really want to eat curry for 4 days?"
Totally get that - maybe consider cutting the recipes in half and then you're only eating 2? Or freeze extra portions so you're not eating them all at once maybe? Hope this helps a little!
I am transitioning to veganism. I have learned to stock up on a combination of fresh and frozen vegetables and fruit.
Smart :)
I love my instant pot too but I’m having issues with it and it’s only a few months old. I tried to do a delayed start for oat groats, so it would be ready in the morning. I have looked at the directions and I have looked on RUclips and I do not think my delay button works. I have the instant pot duo Pro. I believe it has the whisper quiet steam cover on the top & a dial knob button from for selecting & time, and a button that says delay. When I try to go through the steps and press delay, the light doesn’t light up, and nothing happens with the clock. When I press and hold the cancel button, all the lights shine up on the front of the pot including the delay button, so there is a light that works on the delay button, that’s it. Anyone else have trouble with this feature?
Sorry to hear this. Have you contacted the company?
Crazy Miami Florida😂 I want to try that chia pudding so far they disgust me, (fish eggs to me) I hope yours will change my mind.
Yes!!! It will. Let me know when you try it!!!
Have you tried it yet?
…
How about now????

Welcome!
@@pbwithjeremy thank you
I had 7 ounces of white beans into a giant, 32 ounce smoothie with 3 ounces of kale, blueberries, strawberries, orange, and it turns into a meal with a ton of nutrition
That sounds really thick - do you add any liquid to that?
Here in the US, those of us who focused on plant based eating didn’t suffer the degree of sticker shock when our inflation sky rocketed because it was the processed food that took the hit. A $3 bag of green went up 25 cents. A$3 load of bread went up $1.50. And cookies and chips? That was just too sad to talk about.
Good to hear bits been a bit brutal north of the border here.

Greetings Suzanne!
Great video with many helpful tips, so thank you! I have to tease you a bit. I don't think you're an actual Canadian. I'm pretty sure you are Italian switched at birth. Your hand gestures are very Mediterranean! Please keep the budget ideas and WFPB meal planning ideas coming. Thanks as always!
Ha - I've never been teased in THIS way. Let keep this rumour of my Italian heritage going - I like it :)
Im from the netherlands
Greetings!
I don't see the need for PB recipe books.. any recipe is easy to modify.. I often used to swap mince beef for bell peppers & mushrooms, etc. The more highly flavoured the sauce, the less significant is the "meat".. as per the cuisines of the poor.
Amen. My thoughts exactly. We started out by modifying our regular cookbooks before PB cookbooks even existed.
@@pbwithjeremy As I see it, the problem is that the proposed, WFPB solution to the SAD isn't going to happen. For most, a PB future will involve swapping processed food comprising some animal products, for processed food comprising none.
If processed food is "the devil", rather than any WFs, what is gained by folk?

Welcome!
Great video! I agree with your appliance choices .I too bought a refurbished Vitamix. A Ninja Professional food processor is relatively inexpensive.I would add a Nutribullet. As I mentioned before, Dillon and Reebs Holmes(Well Your World) have amazing delicious and quick big pot meals. Loving your Channel from South Central Massachusetts, USA.Check out Simnett Nutrition.
Thanks for this - already a big fan of Derek at Simnett - I've been following him for years - a fellow Canuck :) Can't remember if it was you that inspried it, but looking to maybe do a Well Your World "What I Eat" video at some point :)
@@pbwithjeremy I am a Well Your World fan. I have their three cookbooks. Their starch blaster is a great recipe. I also love a Colcannon Soup one from one of their videos. I believe it's regarding fan favorites for weight loss. Mexican Charro Beans are also a hit! Bin Appetit!!!!
Hi, I was wondering if you and your Family would give the "How not to Die" cookbook by Michael Greger a go. I would love to see what you think. Terri from Australia 🦘🇦🇺 💜
Hey Terri! Stay tuned. That video is coming this weekend!!!
