ANSWERS TO A FEW QUESTIONS- obvs the butter I used was vegan butter, I felt I didn’t even need to explain that because it’s just what I use in day to day life and have done for years. I’ve also been getting questions about the pesto which literally says on the jar that it’s vegan in massive letters 😂 everything I ate was vegan, even if I didn’t say, don’t worry. (Other than that Mayo slip up on Saturday) Hope you guys enjoy, I have had this requested a lot and actually really enjoyed doing it and it made me realise just how many alternatives there are. You don't just have to eat salad 24/7 (but if that is something you wanna do then go for it hahah). Any video suggestions let me know :))) Have a great evening x
@@Grackle hello grace first time commenting but I have to say this you must be part Irish why I am saying this is the way you said eejit anyways great video and keep up the good work love from 🇮🇪☘️😘👍
@@beeohel6787 I thought the same myself about her being part irish, I don't know why but I did, just thought I put that out here, and that i'm not the only one who thought that, have a nice week
Well it wasn’t 100% proper. She ate buns from McDonald’s and it looked like she used the egg noodles in her pasta dish one day. I’m sure it’s insanely easy to space hidden ingredients like that though.
amechelb in the UK, the McDonald’s buns are vegan! And the pasta noodles she used were tagliatelle which is commonly just durum wheat semolina (unless you get the fancy stuff!) :) x
Oh well they aren’t vegan here. And they looked just like the egg noodles we have here. Interesting that’s they would make the buns vegan there but not here.
I don't know who needs this, but if you're someone who says "I would go vegan, but I could never give up *insert food here*".... then go vegan with the exception of that one thing! Once you're in the swing of a mostly vegan lifestyle, you can think about cutting out the couple of things you're still eating. A bit of a change is better than none. :) Btw Grace you clearly enjoy the taste of meat, why not try some substitutes or going out to eat at "meaty" vegan restaurants in London?
I'm not Grace, but I find it much easier to go without; pea protein will never be beef no matter how much beet "blood" you put in it. Beans or mushrooms are preferable, IMO.
melissa thompson My main sources of protein is lentils and beans but I do love a good substitute now and then and I think they are good for people who might be craving meat like Grace said she was in this video :)
@@swilson6170 I understand, but in my subjective experience, foods such as, say, Beyond, are disappointing, deceptive and disgusting. IMO someone who likes and chooses mushrooms would be happier with a portobello burger. I can only offer my own opinion based on my own experience, and that is what I did. One of the reasons (though not the main one) that veganism is not my lifestyle choice is the basic dishonesty of "fake" foods. I do choose and enjoy foods that are free of animal products. Thank you for your consideration.
Love how these videos are always so positive, no calories or specific portions every really mentioned and it's refreshing to see! It really has helped me to trust in myself rather than weighing everything out
For anyone trying to go vegan, especially food wise, I def recommend going veggie first! I've been veggie for years now, and am gradually trying to cut out dairy but I'm not finding it as hard as I imagine it would be cutting everything out at once because I'm already used to cooking and making food without meat, and getting the right balances in my meals (e.g. getting enough protein). I find a lot of meat meals are easy enough to make veggie and once you're used to that, veggie meals are easy to make vegan too Edit: I know for some people it's easy to do overnight! I'm only mentioning it because I went veggie like 12 years ago before I even really knew about veganism and before it got more 'mainstream', and now I'm switching I definitely think already being veggie helped, so doing it gradually like that could be an option for people finding it more difficult. After all, any change helps and is better than none!
I think it is for everyone different. Some people prefer to go vegan overnight. Some people want to take their time. I have been vegetarian my whole life. I try my best eating a lot of vegan food. The thing is, I still live with my parents and I can't and won't ask them to make me a whole different meal. It is easier to eat more vegan because my parents are vegetarian. But I still struggle, because we live somewhere and it is doesn't have a lot of options for vegan foods. I try my best, and I am aware of the cruelty but I am not perfect. I call myself a flegan btw flexi vegan, between vegan and vegetarian.
im vegetarian 3 days a week (monday, tuesday and wednesday), vegan 2 days a week (thursday and friday) and then cheat days on the weekend the only issue is fish and chips and nuggets - really looking for a good vegan alternative but the nuggets are all squishy and weird :(
purplestars i went vegan overnight and it doesn’t have to be hard!! i just replaced all my normal meals with vegan versions since there’s SO much variety in most grocery stores :) of course do what suites you but i’m an example where it’s totally do able to go vegan pretty quickly :)

I’ve found the longer you go without eating animal products, the less you miss them. Haven’t had red meat in almost 2 years now and at first I craved a bacon buttie but now I find meat a bit grim!
But then after a while so many vegans get health problems and deficiencies, realise that they need meat and then eat it. Many militant vegan RUclipsrs have done this.. Lots are now carnivore. It just takes time for people to realise it like they did.. Then you're eating your meaty words.
I’ve been vegetarian transitioning into vegan for about a month now! We didn’t go full vegan because I didn’t want to waste products we already purchased and opened with dairy in it, so we finished those up. It’s much easier than I expected and I truly enjoy it. I’ve even lost some weight, so that’s been nice! Gardien makes awesome vegan chicken tenders which helped me transition without missing chicken so much. I love the point you make, if everyone even did one meal a day without animal products it would be a great impact. Great video :)
The noodles don’t stick together if you rinse. But the sauce sticks better if you don’t. If you are mixing together the sauce and pasta all at once it doesn’t matter if you don’t rinse from my experience
Had a horrible day today. From start to finish, it’s just been manic and emotionally exhausting. However, your videos literally feel like a step back from everything. Your personality is so light and genuine. Thanks for being you x
I love that grace does a week of these videos rather than "24 hours as a vegan lol xoxoxox" because you truly can't understanding a way of living unless you do it for a while! Love a dedicated queen
Oh c‘mon 🙄... maybe it‘s not absolutly 100% perfect like a native german speaker would say it but I think it‘s still right. And so I thought it would be nice to let her know because she thought she said it totally wrong!
just like "THE omnivorous!" isnt filled or lacking protein the vegan diet is nothing you can generalize. if i eat intuitively i eat too little protein. i eat carbs and veggies. thats my thing. you have to try harder if you are vegan because vegan foods do in general contain less protein than animal based foods. thats a fact. im not trying to make a case for a omnivorous diet!!!!! i just dislike people misrepresenting facts. whereas it is easily possible to get enough protein on a vegan diet it is unargueably harder to do so and requires more planning.
you said you eat vegan out and about a lot so i was wondering of you can do an out and about video of vegan fast food and stuff cos im really interested
Grace, as one of your Italian viewers, when I saw you putting the tagliatelle and mushroom all together in the pot I literally gasped at the sight of it!
I have been itching to go vegan for a while now so a perfectly timed video for me! haven't watched yet (obvs) but excited to see if it'll push me over the line or not!
As someone commented above, you may find it easier to research non meat proteins and build on them rather than "faking" dishes that are traditionally meat based. For me, African-, Asian-, and American-ethnic (as opposed to Euroethnic) cuisines are easier because they tend to be less meat dependent to start with.
Meg xoxo hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!! good luck on your journey love 🦋✨🌈 blessings x
@@Wee.low1 my family are veggie about 4 days a week and i very rarely consume dairy products or eggs as it is, just committing to the lifestyle is a bit daunting to me! but i agree, i hope to be fully vegan by new years! (i need my christmas turkey)
Great vid Grack 💞 I don’t comment often, I’m more of a silent viewer but your videos are really helping me through a poo time at the minute. It feels like I’m having a chat with or listening to a close friend and it’s helping me out big time! Sorry to be a sop, it just means a lot. Thank you 💞
The fact that your fam is supportive of your vids and are (almost) always making appearances in them makes me so happy! It makes me feel like I’m living at home with all my siblings again. Miss that atmosphere! You’ve got a cozy channel Grace
Im new to this lovely girls channel. I like how down to earth and relatable she seems to be. Is that the point of why most are here or have I missed something more? As I say,she's really nice. :)
Yep, that’s why. Grace has a simply beautiful and pure spirit. She’s kind and thoughtful, considerate of her viewers without ever making a fuss about herself. She doesn’t do stuff for clout and comes up with tons of original ideas. I’m 39 but I just love her. She gives me a bit of hope, as stupid as that sounds. Her family is pretty great too. Stick around and explore her channel, you’ll grow to love her too😃
Changing your diet can often effect your bowels because it’s something new to your body and it’s just trying to get in the flow of your new diet. I remember it happening to me when I went vegetarian 🌱
I've been vegan about two months now after two years veggie and it's strangely easy! 😊 It seemed really daunting before but I think once I make my mind up and just do something it becomes really easy 🌱🐖
Yeah, I think for me its a defo journey, like I know some people wake up and are just like yep im going to be vegan but I think I will have to trickle it in to my lifestyle you know
@@Grackle you're already helping the environment and animals a lot by being dairy free. Like you say, everyone just needs to make a little difference ✌️🌍
For me going plant based (I'm not 100% vegan, due to BED, but I'm working on that) is increasingly easier the less I focus on finding vegan replacements for the more processed foods that I ate already, and focusing more on an overall change to my diet with plant based meals that are vegan by nature. Not that it's bad to have the substitutes or that I completely eliminate them, but personally for me it's been so freeing to just dive into some of the "weird" vegan foods. But I'm also American where we have the SAD diet, and "normal" is way more skewed.
@@arguingtomcat I have GI issues, so my diet is "anything that won't kill me," which unfortunately excludes most plant fiber and most sugars, but I found the same thing was true for me when I was vegan: I'd much rather eat foods from primarily vegan cultures prepared traditionally, as opposed to "fake" meats and cheeses. A lot of "fake" food is sadly trying too hard, IMO. And failing.
@@MelissaThompson432 true..y eat a fake meat or Cheese if u want to go vegan... Just go with traditional food... Like in India/Pakistani food there lots of food which are totally vegan we don't have to try n make our dishes vegan.... But in India also people are eating soyabean nuggets it's like vegan meat thing but that also is easy to make like most of our dishes... We also have aloo tikki burger for fast food ♥️♥️ n I our family go vegan 2 days in a week Monday n Tuesday n if we have to go vegetarian if any festivals or fasting thing is going on
I also found that when I went veggie I really started experimenting more! It started when I didn't buy meat at uni because I was saving £££ but then I found I loved cooking and not relying on meat! I won't go vegan (yet) because of my eating disorder but I might try a week of it like this when I get a bit better!
Nuala J hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!! good luck on your journey love 🦋✨🌈 blessings x
Not trying to force you to veganism, I’m not even vegan myself, just vegetarian, but I’ve seen a lot of ppl that had a eating disorder and recovered with veganism. So to try it at least a week could for sure help you :)
These jokes stopped being funny as soon as the next vid came out and people were still commenting it, but it’s actually funny to see it here lmao someone who is doing it right
I totally agree with you about the vegetable deluxe burger from mcdonald's! I used to love the veggie burger but since they've changed it to the goujons, it doesn't taste the same.
The egg mystery is about to be solved for you🕵🏻♀️ basically, the condensed version is - the chickens do naturally produce eggs, but if they aren’t fertilised then the chicken themselves will eat the egg to ensure their calcium levels are sufficient. Chickens that have the eggs taken away will lay more than those that are able to consume their eggs. Hope this helps✌🏻
Also chickens have been gradually breed and in some cases genetically engineered to lay so many. Wild chickens like all birds only lay eggs once a year, enough for a nest. They raise their young before repeating next breeding season.
Every time watching vlogs from counties like USA or UK and others i feel so jealous about how many options do u guys have in markets, while in my country there are not so many options of food, especially vegan food.
I loved this video! You educated yourself properly, tried different recipes and you and told us your honest opinion no matter if it was good or bad 🥰 you go Grace!
It's so easy to make a bacon (facon) substitute that actually works! Some ingredients might sound strange, but they're literally available in larger shops. 400g firm Tofu or soy chunks, diced into any kind of shape you want 5 tbsp nutritional yeast, 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 ts liquid smoke (add 1ts garlic powder, 1ts smoked paprika and dash of ketchup for more taste) fry the tofu or soy chunks, mix the sauce, pour the sauce over, cook it until it's evaporated, then voilaaa amazing facon.
great video! you are so entertaining which makes the video so enjoyable. quick question, does your dad wear his Liverpool shirts on match days only or are there part of his regular wardrobe? I‘ve seen him wear different once in different vids now 😅😅
I could be wrong but I think Hendersons Relish is a vegan alternative to Lea & Perrins but I'm from the North and it's made in Sheffield so I don't know if you southern folk can get it 🤔
Good for you Grace! I've been "plant-based" for about 9 months now and it is so refreshing to see someone take it seriously, animal agriculture is certainly a huge contributing factor to our climate crisis - so even sometimes going vegan helps! :) Also! How did you get that much food for only 22 pounds?! I feel like here in the US I would get all that for like 50$!
L C hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!! good luck on your journey love 🦋✨🌈 blessings x
Ali When I was a vegan (2008-2011) there was no dairy free ice cream available to me and everything was at least 4x as much money as it is now. Going out to dinner? Forget about it! They didn’t even know whether their chips were vegan. Good shoes without leather in them? Nope, they’ll fall apart after one puddle. You are lucky for the surge in vegan products. Be grateful.
KSR hm and? people are still allowed to complain £3 for a chocolate bar is extremely expensive and not everyone can afford that...it’s not because we have more options that we can’t complain about stuffs
I DESPERATELY NEED THIS RECIPE FOR MUSHROOM PESTO RICE and also your family's tomato pasta sauce!! I love you Grackle 🖤 your videos always help cheer me up when I've had a bad day at work
I love you so much Grace!! You make every video so happy and how are so funny. I loved this video,makes eaten vegan look so easy. I myself have to eat dairy/gluten and wheat free and love how over the years it as become alot easier to be done. Anyhow thankyou for the great content,loved watching your graduation the other day. You and your parents must be so happy, (makes me look greepy watching you ) lol,but my eldest is 17 and she is doing her a levels, cant wait to see her graduate xx
MetallisoN a lot of hens actually like to eat their own eggs for nutrition :) if they don’t eat them then of course take them but most of the time they will eat it !
I have rescue hens that won't eat their eggs they just leave them to rot, I don't eat their eggs I give them away but I would still consider myself vegan if I did because there's no exploitation
It was actually quite good timing that you posted this because we had a big vegan discussion in my English Language class today at college and everyone was really excepting of me being vegan in the end. I get scared to tell people because I don't want them to like make just stupid jokes that I've heard a million times before and I feel like people won't want to friends with me. Also some of them had a bad opinion on vegans because they thought I would try and force my diet on them but in the end they realised that even if you can't be fully vegan then a one meal here and there will make a big difference just like you said 🌻🌻Btw I love when you try eating like a vegan and you aren't negative about it👍🏼
You know, you can actually do quite a lot of good by just “dabbling” in veganism. If everyone gave up eating meat for just a few days a week the good that it would do for animals and the environment would be incredible.

A goujon is like a strip of breaded/battered something. Eg. A chicken goujon is like a long, thin chicken nugget. I think it's the shape. I hope that makes sense! :)
@@not_that_kathy I'm not 100% sure on those ones. You can get soy ones, Quorn ones - neither of those agree with me. I go for bean or chickpea based ones
This was soooo entertaining but on a serious note thank you!!!! My 10 year old son was diagnosed with a dairy allergy yesterday and we are researching so much! This was so informative though and it has given us sooo many good ideas and shown us that he can actually eat so much!! Thank you 😘 xxx
@Grackle just wondering if the veggie burger/wrap from McDonalds was vegan. Noticed that there was crumbing on the goujons so just wasn’t sure if that was veganised x
You definitely need to do more research protein come in plenty of different food if u do ur research. How do you think cows and chickens get calcium and protein! Through plants that they eat
the chips at mcdonalds in USA are not just cooked in the same vats as the meat products they are seasoned in some beef product i cant remember the name of. Also in most states they dont even have the veggie burger.
I've never liked a video so fast! It's so refreshing how open minded and up for giving things a try Grace is. Such great meal ideas here too. Even if you don't go fully vegan, cutting down on meat and incorporating some vegan meals would be amazing. Regarding eggs, I think if they are coming from friends' chickens then go for it. Just cut down/out meat and fish.
Questions from a Canadian: What is this "Youth" event that you keep mentioning? :) Also, at 22:12, you mentioned that they changed it to "Gujons"(?) and I'm curious what that means as well!
A Goujon is usually a strip of meat coated in breadcrumbs more like a chicken dipper than a burger. McDonalds changed the veggie burger pattie, to a veggie Goujon. Also, i believe "youth" is a church club for children.
Great blog Grace xo gotta love Papa Booth! I have been eating mainly plant based foods since July and feel so much better tummy and health wise. I am grateful there is so much more to choose from nowadays as I don't think it would have been quite so easy in the past. Would love to see you and Jesse do a Xmas food haul and taste test soon. Thanks for always making us smile 👏🏻😁😁😁🙏🏽🇳🇿
This is scientifically true; lacking important amino acids plus many people can have absorption problems. Vegan products are packed full of salt, sugar and questionable oils. I find it mildly humorous that vegans use "fake meat" products loaded with soy...
S L thank you for this comment. So much "crap" food even though it's vegan, it's like they're only focused on the "No meat" but forget about nutrition in general. The beyond products are just filled with bs and new studies have shown that they contain ingredients linked to causing cancer.
@@zofianderzzon There is a lot of vegan junk food but nobody eats actual beef burgers for health reasons either. Pretty sure red meat has also been linked to cancer so I guess the beyond burgers are similar in that way too!

Clothes shopping challenge
Now do the carnivore diet
Grace: you can use liquid aminos in place of Worcestershire sauce. The flavor is enough similar; it's richer than soy sauce. And it's healthy.

Greetings from Germany
well, I hear "LebERkuchen", witch would translate to livercake ;)
Yes before the timestamp it sounds like that 🙈 but at 5:58 it’s right.
@@gepee3654 haha, I was looking for that!
Oh c‘mon 🙄... maybe it‘s not absolutly 100% perfect like a native german speaker would say it but I think it‘s still right. And so I thought it would be nice to let her know because she thought she said it totally wrong!

It’s a common misconception but the vegan diet is filled with protein!
just like "THE omnivorous!" isnt filled or lacking protein the vegan diet is nothing you can generalize. if i eat intuitively i eat too little protein. i eat carbs and veggies. thats my thing. you have to try harder if you are vegan because vegan foods do in general contain less protein than animal based foods. thats a fact. im not trying to make a case for a omnivorous diet!!!!! i just dislike people misrepresenting facts. whereas it is easily possible to get enough protein on a vegan diet it is unargueably harder to do so and requires more planning.
you said you eat vegan out and about a lot so i was wondering of you can do an out and about video of vegan fast food and stuff cos im really interested
lucky my guy I made a video about this already on my channel :)
NolanDolan literally nearly everything on taco bell’s menu if u get beans and make it fresco
You're such a breath of fresh air. Favourite RUclipsr by far
I feel like I gradually went vegetarian and then vegan without even realising it happening and now eating meat would feel sooooo alien
Grace, as one of your Italian viewers, when I saw you putting the tagliatelle and mushroom all together in the pot I literally gasped at the sight of it!
I discovered your channel on Tuesday and I cannot stop binge watching your videos. You are so funny
Love this so much! Ive been vegan for 10 years and its been such a wonderful journey for me! So lovely to see you trying it out
i love that she really tries, not like other youtubers she did put effort🥺💘
Bless you, you had so many temptations in your way throughout this week, but well done for resisting!! 🙌🙌🙌
A side parting would SO suit you!!! Your hair while you were making the waffles was *very* cute even though it was clearly "just got out of bed" hair!
I found your channel a week ago and I literally love you so much! I think you’re so hilarious and fun to watch
I have been itching to go vegan for a while now so a perfectly timed video for me! haven't watched yet (obvs) but excited to see if it'll push me over the line or not!
Even if you don't go fully vegan you can always just take things away slowly
Go girl 🤗🤗🤗
As someone commented above, you may find it easier to research non meat proteins and build on them rather than "faking" dishes that are traditionally meat based. For me, African-, Asian-, and American-ethnic (as opposed to Euroethnic) cuisines are easier because they tend to be less meat dependent to start with.
Meg xoxo hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!!
good luck on your journey love 🦋✨🌈 blessings x
@@Wee.low1 my family are veggie about 4 days a week and i very rarely consume dairy products or eggs as it is, just committing to the lifestyle is a bit daunting to me! but i agree, i hope to be fully vegan by new years! (i need my christmas turkey)
Great vid Grack 💞 I don’t comment often, I’m more of a silent viewer but your videos are really helping me through a poo time at the minute. It feels like I’m having a chat with or listening to a close friend and it’s helping me out big time! Sorry to be a sop, it just means a lot. Thank you 💞
Grace promotes such healthy eating habits and it’s so refreshing to see
The fact that your fam is supportive of your vids and are (almost) always making appearances in them makes me so happy! It makes me feel like I’m living at home with all my siblings again. Miss that atmosphere! You’ve got a cozy channel Grace
Im new to this lovely girls channel. I like how down to earth and relatable she seems to be. Is that the point of why most are here or have I missed something more? As I say,she's really nice. :)
Yep, that’s why. Grace has a simply beautiful and pure spirit. She’s kind and thoughtful, considerate of her viewers without ever making a fuss about herself. She doesn’t do stuff for clout and comes up with tons of original ideas. I’m 39 but I just love her. She gives me a bit of hope, as stupid as that sounds. Her family is pretty great too. Stick around and explore her channel, you’ll grow to love her too😃
Changing your diet can often effect your bowels because it’s something new to your body and it’s just trying to get in the flow of your new diet. I remember it happening to me when I went vegetarian 🌱
The Apple danish from coughlans is LIFE CHANGING (the apricot croissant warmed up is also amazing)
I've been vegan about two months now after two years veggie and it's strangely easy! 😊 It seemed really daunting before but I think once I make my mind up and just do something it becomes really easy 🌱🐖
Yeah, I think for me its a defo journey, like I know some people wake up and are just like yep im going to be vegan but I think I will have to trickle it in to my lifestyle you know
@@Grackle you're already helping the environment and animals a lot by being dairy free. Like you say, everyone just needs to make a little difference ✌️🌍
For me going plant based (I'm not 100% vegan, due to BED, but I'm working on that) is increasingly easier the less I focus on finding vegan replacements for the more processed foods that I ate already, and focusing more on an overall change to my diet with plant based meals that are vegan by nature. Not that it's bad to have the substitutes or that I completely eliminate them, but personally for me it's been so freeing to just dive into some of the "weird" vegan foods. But I'm also American where we have the SAD diet, and "normal" is way more skewed.
@@arguingtomcat I have GI issues, so my diet is "anything that won't kill me," which unfortunately excludes most plant fiber and most sugars, but I found the same thing was true for me when I was vegan: I'd much rather eat foods from primarily vegan cultures prepared traditionally, as opposed to "fake" meats and cheeses. A lot of "fake" food is sadly trying too hard, IMO. And failing.
@@MelissaThompson432 true..y eat a fake meat or Cheese if u want to go vegan... Just go with traditional food... Like in India/Pakistani food there lots of food which are totally vegan we don't have to try n make our dishes vegan.... But in India also people are eating soyabean nuggets it's like vegan meat thing but that also is easy to make like most of our dishes... We also have aloo tikki burger for fast food ♥️♥️ n I our family go vegan 2 days in a week Monday n Tuesday n if we have to go vegetarian if any festivals or fasting thing is going on
All your videos are amazing...
I also found that when I went veggie I really started experimenting more! It started when I didn't buy meat at uni because I was saving £££ but then I found I loved cooking and not relying on meat! I won't go vegan (yet) because of my eating disorder but I might try a week of it like this when I get a bit better!
Nuala J hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!!
good luck on your journey love 🦋✨🌈 blessings x
Good luck with your journey, I think you're right not to do it just now, always put health first ♡
Not trying to force you to veganism, I’m not even vegan myself, just vegetarian, but I’ve seen a lot of ppl that had a eating disorder and recovered with veganism. So to try it at least a week could for sure help you :)
LittleRockQueen14 yes !! I had an ED and going vegan really helped. I do think it is a great idea to try first.
@@LittleRockQueen14 they've already said it would be damaging for them, why pressure them?
The warm, half-drunk coke on the shelf is so triggering
idk why but this comment made me laugh so hard
But it's best flat
@@saoirse7128 what the hell. Thats the most disturbing thing i read all year
It also helps to slowly increase bean portions/intake instead of fully going in without giving the gut time to adjust.
The face u made when u ate that chip at 9:26 was priceless😂
You should try giving up plastic for a week!
That's what I thought when I saw all the plastic in her haul from Aldi
That would be so hard!😱
classycassi20 difficult but not impossible!
Shes done similar videos! Check her channel and find her week challenges from a while ago x
She’s done a no-waste video before! X
Erin: THATS NOT VEGAN
joe g LOL SIS WAS SO GODDAMN ANNOYING
These jokes stopped being funny as soon as the next vid came out and people were still commenting it, but it’s actually funny to see it here lmao someone who is doing it right
Yes it is.....? Frankly, I could never go vegan. I love eggs and sushi too much! Spicy salmon rolls are just too good
My fave youtuber 👍. Your videos never fail to cheer me up, Grackle. Thanks for the smiles 🤗😊
I totally agree with you about the vegetable deluxe burger from mcdonald's! I used to love the veggie burger but since they've changed it to the goujons, it doesn't taste the same.
The egg mystery is about to be solved for you🕵🏻♀️ basically, the condensed version is - the chickens do naturally produce eggs, but if they aren’t fertilised then the chicken themselves will eat the egg to ensure their calcium levels are sufficient. Chickens that have the eggs taken away will lay more than those that are able to consume their eggs. Hope this helps✌🏻
Chickens eat their own eggs? 😦 I'm shook.
Also chickens have been gradually breed and in some cases genetically engineered to lay so many. Wild chickens like all birds only lay eggs once a year, enough for a nest. They raise their young before repeating next breeding season.
The amount of fail in the first 15 seconds 😂 classic grackle 👌🏼
i know right, couldn't write this stuff hahahah
@@Grackle bless you you do try hard at least ❤️
i love you! i’m in my first year at uni rn and i’m always inspired by your food videos
9:20 “let me tell you that for free “ your wayy too funny 😂😂😂
I've been binge watching your videos all day. Love you and your videos Grackle. 💜💜
She’s so pretty 😍😍😍😍😍
she is! ❤️
Just so naturally pretty!
She is 🥰
Every time watching vlogs from counties like USA or UK and others i feel so jealous about how many options do u guys have in markets, while in my country there are not so many options of food, especially vegan food.
I loved this video! You educated yourself properly, tried different recipes and you and told us your honest opinion no matter if it was good or bad 🥰 you go Grace!
Like you say, every small action everyone makes has an impact on helping save out amazing planet 🌏
It's so easy to make a bacon (facon) substitute that actually works! Some ingredients might sound strange, but they're literally available in larger shops.
400g firm Tofu or soy chunks, diced into any kind of shape you want
5 tbsp nutritional yeast,
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 ts liquid smoke
(add 1ts garlic powder, 1ts smoked paprika and dash of ketchup for more taste)
fry the tofu or soy chunks, mix the sauce, pour the sauce over, cook it until it's evaporated, then voilaaa amazing facon.
You can swap the lea and perrins for balsamic vinegar its just as nice ❤
great video! you are so entertaining which makes the video so enjoyable. quick question, does your dad wear his Liverpool shirts on match days only or are there part of his regular wardrobe? I‘ve seen him wear different once in different vids now 😅😅
What’s the recipe for the mushroom dish? The one your gran uses? Looks yum
I could be wrong but I think Hendersons Relish is a vegan alternative to Lea & Perrins but I'm from the North and it's made in Sheffield so I don't know if you southern folk can get it 🤔
Good for you Grace! I've been "plant-based" for about 9 months now and it is so refreshing to see someone take it seriously, animal agriculture is certainly a huge contributing factor to our climate crisis - so even sometimes going vegan helps! :) Also! How did you get that much food for only 22 pounds?! I feel like here in the US I would get all that for like 50$!
L C ALDI is a great job for shopping on the budget! You could do a whole house shop for only £50
L C hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!!

Hi Grace!! I love your videos 💖 I was wondering if you could post the recipe for the pesto mushroom rice as it looked delish!!
They’re releasing vegan galaxy chocolate bars in a few days!😍
Eleanor Miles but they’re £3! 😭 I wish they were more affordable. Hopefully they will do an introductory offer. 🤞
I know I’m actually fuming at how much more expensive vegan alternatives are- (like Ben and Jerry’s as well) 😭
Ali
When I was a vegan (2008-2011) there was no dairy free ice cream available to me and everything was at least 4x as much money as it is now. Going out to dinner? Forget about it! They didn’t even know whether their chips were vegan. Good shoes without leather in them? Nope, they’ll fall apart after one puddle.
You are lucky for the surge in vegan products. Be grateful.
KSR hm and? people are still allowed to complain £3 for a chocolate bar is extremely expensive and not everyone can afford that...it’s not because we have more options that we can’t complain about stuffs
Eleanor Miles NO. FREAKING. WAY.
Use sea salt instead of regular salt to eliminate any spots. Will probably need to try it for more than 5 days to get a good effect.
I DESPERATELY NEED THIS RECIPE FOR MUSHROOM PESTO RICE and also your family's tomato pasta sauce!! I love you Grackle 🖤 your videos always help cheer me up when I've had a bad day at work
I love you so much Grace!! You make every video so happy and how are so funny. I loved this video,makes eaten vegan look so easy. I myself have to eat dairy/gluten and wheat free and love how over the years it as become alot easier to be done. Anyhow thankyou for the great content,loved watching your graduation the other day. You and your parents must be so happy, (makes me look greepy watching you ) lol,but my eldest is 17 and she is doing her a levels, cant wait to see her graduate xx
On the subject of eggs I enjoy the idea that if you know the hens personally then don't waste eggs that will otherwise be unused 🥰🐔🥚
Don't waste them feed then back to the chickens it's a good cause of calcium for them:)
The hens get plenty calcium from their diet and get the shells back while I enjoy the eggs, works out well for us all 🙂
MetallisoN a lot of hens actually like to eat their own eggs for nutrition :) if they don’t eat them then of course take them but most of the time they will eat it !
To be fair to the hens it's my garden, my rules. I'm neither veggie nor vegan but I only have eggs from my own cared for chucks
I have rescue hens that won't eat their eggs they just leave them to rot, I don't eat their eggs I give them away but I would still consider myself vegan if I did because there's no exploitation
It was actually quite good timing that you posted this because we had a big vegan discussion in my English Language class today at college and everyone was really excepting of me being vegan in the end. I get scared to tell people because I don't want them to like make just stupid jokes that I've heard a million times before and I feel like people won't want to friends with me. Also some of them had a bad opinion on vegans because they thought I would try and force my diet on them but in the end they realised that even if you can't be fully vegan then a one meal here and there will make a big difference just like you said 🌻🌻Btw I love when you try eating like a vegan and you aren't negative about it👍🏼
You know, you can actually do quite a lot of good by just “dabbling” in veganism. If everyone gave up eating meat for just a few days a week the good that it would do for animals and the environment would be incredible.
This. Was. Amazing.
I've been vegan for like 7 months and haven't tried half of these recipes. So excited to make some of them! Thanks x
Moffin Boffin hi!!! i recommend watching the video “the best speech ever” by gary yourofsky on youtube! it helped me go vegan and it is very thought provoking :) i went vegan 8 years ago and it was one of the best decisions of my life!!!

@@b8665 thank you, I will! ^_^ x
What is a “goshon” when you were talking about the McDonald’s lol
A goujon is like a strip of breaded/battered something. Eg. A chicken goujon is like a long, thin chicken nugget. I think it's the shape. I hope that makes sense! :)
Chicken fingers, chicken tenders, goujon - all basically the same thing just might be size variation and obvs in this case vegan
@@JB-vd8bi What is it made from, soy?
@@not_that_kathy I'm not 100% sure on those ones. You can get soy ones, Quorn ones - neither of those agree with me. I go for bean or chickpea based ones
Kathy K I think the McDonald’s ones are filled w veggies, sweet corn carrots etc. They do spicy vegan ones too
This was soooo entertaining but on a serious note thank you!!!! My 10 year old son was diagnosed with a dairy allergy yesterday and we are researching so much! This was so informative though and it has given us sooo many good ideas and shown us that he can actually eat so much!! Thank you 😘 xxx
Grace should go to a olive farm 😂 love your vids💛
@Grackle just wondering if the veggie burger/wrap from McDonalds was vegan. Noticed that there was crumbing on the goujons so just wasn’t sure if that was veganised x
25 whole minutes of Grack goodness?? It’s a yes from me
Can you please share the recipe for the pesto rice dish pleaseee! It looks incredible!
Literally all I want to know is if you drive an automatic or manual? It's driving me crazy
''DRIVING' you crazy' haha
Most cars in Europe are manuals so it’s probably that
She drives a manual. You can tell in other videos when she’s gear shifting
The Aldi vegan sausage rolls are just 😍🔥 highly recommend !!!
Also, loved the video Grace as always hehe
You definitely need to do more research protein come in plenty of different food if u do ur research. How do you think cows and chickens get calcium and protein! Through plants that they eat
omg someone gets it
Have you got your Nan's rice recipe somewhere? I would love to have it ! esp the mushroom variant. I dont eat meat :D
at my house there's like a whole shoe box filled to the brim of recipes that my mom has collected over the years
the chips at mcdonalds in USA are not just cooked in the same vats as the meat products they are seasoned in some beef product i cant remember the name of. Also in most states they dont even have the veggie burger.
Three video's in three days, amazing! :D
Is vegan and palm oil free possible? Just wonder as palm oil seem to be a replacement for a lot of dairy
Amber Hawthorne Yes, definitely possible 😁
You have got to label your food - Ross learnt that the hard way...
I love your context at the moment, you deserve 1M+
Grace, you should have bought the Beyond Meat burgers in Tesco!!! They’re made from veg but taste like beef... it’s a revelation 😱
I've never liked a video so fast! It's so refreshing how open minded and up for giving things a try Grace is. Such great meal ideas here too. Even if you don't go fully vegan, cutting down on meat and incorporating some vegan meals would be amazing. Regarding eggs, I think if they are coming from friends' chickens then go for it. Just cut down/out meat and fish.
Questions from a Canadian: What is this "Youth" event that you keep mentioning? :) Also, at 22:12, you mentioned that they changed it to "Gujons"(?) and I'm curious what that means as well!
Gabriel C a youth club? Activities and stuff for people under 18
@@sarahx2505 yeah a youth club from her church :)
A Goujon is usually a strip of meat coated in breadcrumbs more like a chicken dipper than a burger. McDonalds changed the veggie burger pattie, to a veggie Goujon. Also, i believe "youth" is a church club for children.
Goujon is like a chicken tender. Usually chicken these ones are obvs vegan
What is the recipe for the pesto rice nan makes that you used mushrooms for?
vegan for 8 years now :) best decision of my life !! it’s so empowering to save some animals and the planet while doing so !!! 💓💓💓💓
You did such a great job!!! You've given me a few really interesting recipe ideas too, love it!!
Video idea: wearing outfits my family have picked for a week
The mushroom pesto rice looks so gooood! Could you please tell me where you found the recipe?
Oops I just realised you said it's your nans recipe - if you ever have time please could you type it out for me? ^^ it looks incred :o
try shopping local for a week!
edit: (if you have that option where you live idk)
Great blog Grace xo gotta love Papa Booth! I have been eating mainly plant based foods since July and feel so much better tummy and health wise. I am grateful there is so much more to choose from nowadays as I don't think it would have been quite so easy in the past. Would love to see you and Jesse do a Xmas food haul and taste test soon. Thanks for always making us smile 👏🏻😁😁😁🙏🏽🇳🇿
Grace you broke my heart saying there isn't as much protein 😩
She's right. Plant proteins are not complete and less digestible.
This is scientifically true; lacking important amino acids plus many people can have absorption problems. Vegan products are packed full of salt, sugar and questionable oils. I find it mildly humorous that vegans use "fake meat" products loaded with soy...
S L thank you for this comment. So much "crap" food even though it's vegan, it's like they're only focused on the "No meat" but forget about nutrition in general. The beyond products are just filled with bs and new studies have shown that they contain ingredients linked to causing cancer.
But there isn’t 🤷🏻♀️
@@zofianderzzon There is a lot of vegan junk food but nobody eats actual beef burgers for health reasons either. Pretty sure red meat has also been linked to cancer so I guess the beyond burgers are similar in that way too!
