I started watching her 9 years ago when she started, this is crazy it’s been so long. It’s also nice seeing her not being so strickt anymore. From her being fully raw, rawtill4 and now including bread and pasta is so refreshing that she is not restricting herself as much anymore
This is my goal. I’m in recovery from an eating disorder, and very much hope to one day be able to approach food with this mindset. I loved everything that Ellen said.
Ive had seasons in life where eating at all is so hard for me. Do due burnout and exectuive function. Sometimes actually eating 2 or 3 meals a day is a huge win! And i celebrated it.
I am not a vegan but I absolutely love how you eat clean whole food and not a bunch of processed classic “vegan” food! You inspire me in so many ways! I’m having my first homebirth for my 3rd baby thanks to you. My mom grew up on Maui in kula and my grandma lived in Lahaina for many years, I just feel so connected to you and your values. I wish I could find friends like you in real life 😂
Thank you for all the food inspiration and free content , glad to see you’re getting more and more sponsors to keep your business running 😊 keep up the good work 👏🏼
So happy to see that that your kids are learning how to play the piano and other instruments 😊 learning an instrument is INCREDIBLE for brain development 🎹 We’re planning on homeschooling our boy, so always interested to see the resources you use 📖
Thank you Ellen for letting us get a glimpse of your daily life with your loved ones. You never fail to inspire - may it be on how to raise children, cook delicious food or providing us with valuable information through your podcast. It’s always such a pleasure to endulge in your videos❤
wow thank you so much for the encouragement, I really appreciate it and I'm so glad you've found my content helpful/valuable to your life. thank you for being here!
I love your videos. We too live a Whole Foods vegan lifestyle and that’s all my kids know. It’s amazing, we pack all our own snacks, lunches and im the vegan chef in my family! From breakfast to desserts, anything can be easily be veganized. Our beautiful Earth provides an abundance of nourishing plants to indulge in!
Thanks for sharing...over the years of tuning into your vlogs , you've been inspirational in a healthier and natural way of living. Gentle parenting, advice, health and vegan tips. ❤
I really appreciate that you and your sister are using your RUclips channels to show that you don't skimp on healthy, nutritious food (by way of 'what I eat in a day' videos). So many women, and perhaps especially vegan women, don't eat enough. Thank you for normalizing really nutritious food choices (in a junk-food-obsessed culture) and 'eating until you're satisfied' (in a body-image-obsessed culture). 👏🏽
I love how you speak about balance here! It’s so easy to put yourself down over some “junk” food and i totallyyyy agree it’s worse on our mental health than anything. Love!
@MdoubleHB.x Imagine using kind words to education others instead of putting people down when they're trying new things. Seriously, imagine it...and then try it.
@MdoubleHB.x Ah well, do it your way. But I can tell you, you can eat all the vegan foods, all the veggies, all the fresh fruit, and make all the snarly comments on youtube videos, but as long as you have disgust in your heart for people who live life differently than you, and as long as you use spiteful, nasty language toward strangers who are doing their best, you will never know peace. Good food in your belly? Great. Nasty feelings toward others in your heart? Gross, and bad for your health. Have a good day.
I’ve been watching your videos since forever and you keep inspiring me to be a better woman and mom!!!💞 Please keep on sharing a tiny bit of your life with us✨
I love this!! I have been watching her for 7 plus years and I am also not vegan. But I still appreciate her values and she had inspired me to homeschool one day 😊
Im in awe of your passion and motivation with health and wellness Ellen. I started watching your videos about 2 years ago with my 8 year old daughter we just adore your content. So blissful and soothing, thankyou for sharing ❤
Ellen! After hearing it a couple times, I think I know what your little one was trying to say 😄 if you hear right before, you were talking about the creamy avocado and you gave an expression like “awghh” and then you hear her say something like, “mommy said awww” ! Kids are so listening to all our sounds and expressions☺️ Thanks for a great video
Babies come into this world communicating. I didn't realize that they will use different cries when hungry vs wet until it was brought to my attention I a book I was reading. We just need to listen!
I love this video. What an angel of a human you are Ellen, and the sweet little moments you share with your children are so special. Always inspiring me to be the best momma ❤
Your gardens are looking awesome! Hard work pays off that’s for sure. Are you kidding me with Dagny! I cannot get over the fact that she is up and walking around already. It only seems as though you gave birth yesterday. ✨✌🏻💛🙏✨
I love watching your videos and I honestly thought you were the perfect example of someone who never indulges in cookies and chips.. i grew up in a household that going out to eat and having occasional ‘unhealthy’ snacks meant that I was an unhealthy eater and unhealthy alltogether… I’m really glad you say food is not what makes you healthy. I think it’s a state of mind. Being at peace with your choices to make your overall health thrive, and yes that means sometimes a bag of chips to cure the soul 😂 Thanks for talking about this and healing some of my inner child ❤
Its so inspiring to see you as a mom of 5 children!! Since this April i am a mom of a beautiful daughter. Birth was intense but not hurtful, glad that i did watch your video with "the naked doula"! Also i am vegetarian now and so many people tell me that its necessary for babies to eat meat. But i dont think so. You doing great!❤
I adore your videos, Ellen. While I am no longer vegan, I still greatly focus on healthy recipes for my family and I. Your recipes are always SO delicious and I love how simple they are!
Thank u for u results while using sun goddess matcha. The shot of u under the sun light was stunning 😍. Also, letting us know it took u 6 months is helpful. I just placed an order 2 days prior to the release of this video but keep this information coming. It's appreciated.
Love you Ellen! You always are a huge inspiration to me and one of my biggest encouragements! You are one of the main reasons I went vegan! 🥑 Here I am 3 years later and still adore all you do & your wisdom! Love ya!
What advice would you give to someone who wants to start more plant based, or even healthier eating in general. All of this looks so delicious, but intimidating to make.
I wish papayas were native here. The ones shipped here are not that good. If that’s all I had I would think they’re not good, but I had them when I visited Belize, and they were to die for! Hawaii is gorgeous.
I make salads similarly. I add left overs to mine to. My family loves the salads I make. Anytime we go to family events or pot lucks I am asked to bring one of my salads. I love salad and vegetables.
Being a busy mom to many little ones and still nursing can make you feel that way as well. I know from experience being a mom to 8. But you are correct about the thyroid too, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after number 8.
Thank you for sharing what you made to eating. Sometimes I can’t think of something else what to eat. Can you used raw cane sugar and coconut sugar comes from plants/trees? Maple syrup comes from trees.
Your food always looks amazing! I agree, health is more than just the food we eat. When you do use plant based protein powder in your smoothies, is there a brand you like best?
I love your videos! Such yummy food ideas and recipes. You're so lucky your husband loves to cook- that is so helpful! Love your attitude about healthy life style in general. I couldn't agree more that obsession over anything isn't healthy. I try to be aware and make the best choices but also have allowances for more healthy-ish indulgences, but like you, I feel my best when I'm eating clean simple food.
It's a thing... all rice has arsenic...the basmati variety and parboiled has the least...still, it's pretty toxic though because the heavy metals and arsenic embed and accumulate in our bodies making it difficult to absorb other vitamins
Love your videos! They are always so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your life, and thank you for sharing this recipe! Looks delicious, I can’t wait to try! ❤❤❤
Your videoe always makecme feel so home sick. I dont know how to explan it but every time i watch your videos my heart feels like it missing something 😢❤
Love these videos of yours!! Thank you. I need to find a new brand of tahini, ive made this dressing before but have to blend it because my tahini is soo thick. I'd love to find a runny one like what yours seems to be!
This is first video I watched - it was on my home page. I love your balanced thinking and healthy eating but also that you allow yourself to eat something different. I had few friends who went vegan and it become obssesion. They only now hang around with vegans only. It's sad to me but what can I do. God bless 💞
Do you take a calcium supplement (if so, which one?) or get all your calcium from food? I’ve never been a fan of calcium supplements, but my pediatrician said to consider them since I’m exclusively breastfeeding.
Fun fact about the lilikoi or passion fruit. Here in East Tennessee where the Cherokee natives are from, there are native varieties of passionflowers/passionfruit. They’re traditionally called Ocoee (oh-co-eee). Which translates to “beautiful”.
It's always weird for me to see mom influencers showing their "what I eat" videos and eating meals totally separate from their kids/making a single portion. I always sat down and we all ate together, seems like so much work to make yourself a separate breakfast and makes me curious what the kids were eating?
I love matcha with oat milk, bit I had to quit it because it make me shake my hands after an hour of taking it... Don't know, i can't drink coffee for the same reason, but matcha is not supposed to have caffeine, isn't it?
Has anyone made the curry lentils? I’m confused as the recipe says two cans coconut milk in list of ingredients but then only prompts to add 1 can in directions. Does anyone know is it one or two cans
It's quite shocking to see people insult you for being vegan and rasing a vegan family. But I love you videos and your lifestyle❤. Don't let the comments ruin your mood and tranquility. By the way I am also vegan.
I love watching your videos and I wish I could just eat as much fruits as you do looks delicious ! But I’m diabetic . I could never eat that much in one sitting(meal)
I started watching her 9 years ago when she started, this is crazy it’s been so long. It’s also nice seeing her not being so strickt anymore. From her being fully raw, rawtill4 and now including bread and pasta is so refreshing that she is not restricting herself as much anymore
I concur
Yes "being aware but not obsessed". That is the key for me ❤
This is my goal. I’m in recovery from an eating disorder, and very much hope to one day be able to approach food with this mindset. I loved everything that Ellen said.

I’m 34 weeks pregnant with my second baby and you are always such an inspiration for plant based motherhood ❤
Is she pregnant?

100% Agree!! Can’t be easy to do all you do💛

Im so excited to see how your garden continues to grow!!!🪴 Your papaya always looks amazing 🤩
Thanks for sharing...over the years of tuning into your vlogs , you've been inspirational in a healthier and natural way of living. Gentle parenting, advice, health and vegan tips. ❤
Staying in the flow, calming your mind, walking meditation has helped a lot with my health...omg that salad looks so yum
Don’t get tired of watching her share her healthy life habits. This is health goals. 😊

Please don't turn your comments off I like to ask questions.. where did you buy your little glass?? I love It!!
I love how you speak about balance here! It’s so easy to put yourself down over some “junk” food and i totallyyyy agree it’s worse on our mental health than anything. Love!
I like these videos because (while not vegan) it reminds me to get back to eating whole foods (which I do), but need to in much larger quantities :-)

Dagny has gotten SO big, she’s adorable! The food looks delicious, I’m going to have to try that recipe. Blessings
Right!? I'm sitting here wondering if I have all the ingredients. I may have to substitute with tomato paste but that is ok!
@@earthmama9597 Me too! I’m going to have to get me some green lentils first, but I’m doing this! Blessings
I’ve been watching your videos since forever and you keep inspiring me to be a better woman and mom!!!💞 Please keep on sharing a tiny bit of your life with us✨
I'm a carnivore but also a mama to many and homeschool as well...just love your videos. Proof we don't have to be the same 😊
I love this!! I have been watching her for 7 plus years and I am also not vegan. But I still appreciate her values and she had inspired me to homeschool one day 😊

Graduated homeschool mom of 4 over here.
Beautiful videos but I want to know how you’ve got kids homeschooling and you’re creating videos.

@MdoubleHB.x 😂😂😂 if you are of a monkey species. Then yes
Your videos always brighten my day, every single time. Thank you for sharing ❤
Hi love your videos you can boil the skin of the pineapple to make i fused pineaple tea or water is great anti inflamatory and great for cleansing
Its so inspiring to see you as a mom of 5 children!! Since this April i am a mom of a beautiful daughter. Birth was intense but not hurtful, glad that i did watch your video with "the naked doula"!

wait what! How did your baby girl get that big? oh my ! Thanks Allen! Just love your videos! It's been years xxx love from Portugal

9:40 if you're feeling tired and without energy all the time you'd better check your thyroid hormones and cortisol level.
Being a busy mom to many little ones and still nursing can make you feel that way as well. I know from experience being a mom to 8. But you are correct about the thyroid too, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease after number 8.
Thank you for sharing what you made to eating. Sometimes I can’t think of something else what to eat. Can you used raw cane sugar and coconut sugar comes from plants/trees? Maple syrup comes from trees.
Speaking about your mentality about food means so much. Punishing yourself doesn’t make your body or mind feel good at all.
I love how stable you all are💛💛🧡💛🧡💛we are fruitarians family of 3 living in Thailand 💛💛💛💛🍌🍓🍍🍎🥭🍊🍉🫒🫒🍐🥥🍈🥥🍋🍌🍓🥭🍉🫒

Literally the dumbest comment ever🙄@MdoubleHB.x
I love watching your videos❤❤❤...may I ask if you can do a vid on hair care? Shampoo/ combing ect💛💛
Please make a video on your thoughts about arsenic in white rice. I absolutely love rice but getting different view points from others lately.
It's a thing... all rice has arsenic...the basmati variety and parboiled has the least...still, it's pretty toxic though because the heavy metals and arsenic embed and accumulate in our bodies making it difficult to absorb other vitamins
Why would you eat grains when you can eat steak????
Great to see you!!!❤
Thank you for Inspiration on Food, Body, Soul!🫶🏻
Love your videos! They are always so beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your life, and thank you for sharing this recipe! Looks delicious, I can’t wait to try! ❤❤❤
Exactly what should I look for on mainland USA to get the sea vegetable you added to your salad?
And thank you, this was a very helpful video.
I think that sea vegetable is Dulse.
Your videoe always makecme feel so home sick. I dont know how to explan it but every time i watch your videos my heart feels like it missing something 😢❤
Just curious, which vegan protein powder do you like to add to your smoothies post workout?
Love these videos of yours!! Thank you. I need to find a new brand of tahini, ive made this dressing before but have to blend it because my tahini is soo thick. I'd love to find a runny one like what yours seems to be!
