Why’d they cut my mans out of the thumbnail
Natalie Cappellini right?
Institutionalized racism
Alex probably
The focus was on the two extremes in how long they've been vegan. It's the same with those "$1 vs $1000" videos.
@@zeehee1231 or because he was in the middle of how long he had been vegan, so like that food show that compares inexpensive to expensive, they showed the least and the most. dont bring race into this ✨
PLEASE people: add the garlic AFTER your onion! It takes way less time to cook and it burns very quickly! Your onion on the other hand takes much more time to cook. Do it for the taste of your meal. Thanks
Teddy Bär so true 🙌🏼 I was just shaking my head when she explained that part. Also "noone whats raw onion in their meal" well lady but that is exactly what you have in your pan right there 😁😁
i literally thought the sameeee
I was about to comment this!! Haha
The dude who is eating a raw onion every day until the release of Shrek 5: Pathetic
When that garlic went in a voice in my head screamed FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THE GARLIC lol so happy someone else commented on this 🙃
Me, a 6+ year vegan watching this while eating a whole pot of pasta with store bought pesto sauce: interesting
George Dolphino, get you a garden salad bro.
Me as indian vegetarian since I was born and vegan for 12+ years I laugh at western vegan recipes. It's not hard to be vegan if people can just start eating indian food.... You will never miss out on anything
@@ritikachaudhuri6151 do you have recommendations on indian vegan channels?
@@user-rx7mf1ck5j Try channels like bong eats, Ranveer Singh Brar. Most of Indian are lacto vegetarian but yoy can skip the milk part.
If you want help my ig I'd is sree167
Lol that's what I did when I was vegan
"Eating vegetables is really important on a vegan diet"
on one hand I'm like "You don't say..." and on the other hand I'm over here binging on plain pasta and oil like "...oh right"
I love pasta but it makes me so chunkyyyy
@@yvonnee1837 And getting some sort of protein
@@najmamohamed5170 I just hope that you're not talking about PrOtEiN dEfIcIeNcY
pls i thought i was the only one who basically only survives on plain pasta nd oil 😭
@@emothot8988 salt, pepper, oil, and (optional) nooch
EDIT: I KNOW THEY MADE A VIDEO ON IT. It was after i posted this comment.
okay now do a broke and a rich vegan lol
Yess I'll love to see thatt
Pb&j sandwiches, pasta with tomato sauce, cooked frozen vegetables and rice. That’s my diet lol
Adrienne Reimer yup same here haha
A lot of these ingredients are inexpensive if you go to the correct stores. If you have a Trader Joe’s they are good at making a lot of the more vegan tailored items cheaper and produce is usually inexpensive, especially if you are shopping for in season items.
And this is coming from a broke college student.
Me a vegan of 4 years eating toast with jam for breakfast, eats falafel and a tomato for lunch, pasta dinner watching this like 😳
Same I don’t have the time or motivation to cook
ha me being vegan for my entire life and i could relate😭😭😭
Me vegan for 6 years eating onion rings hahaha.
How long has it been since you’ve had your period?
arkofthesea why would you ask that lmao
I noticed the veterans focused more on the types of nutrition they needed to keep in their diet vs the newbie who was just trying to make sure they were eating plant-based foods.
and bigger portions (juniorS)
Yep, since like with most such diets, simply cutting out a portion denies them the nutrients they'd get from it, unlike omnivores, who if they're smart, know variety with moderation is the key.
@@VulpisFoxfire Where do you think animal meat gets it's nutrients? They eat plants and metabolize the nutrients within those grains. Or like with vitamin b12 are supplemented just like vegans. And technically it is possible to get vitamin b12 naturally but not advised as you would have to stop washing your veggies
@@FrensKafkaThis is the most stupidest argument for veganism we humans can't eat grass which animals eat nor can we absorb these nutrients without some heavy preparedness and cooking and fermenting
Um..when I was 1 week into being vegan I was making frickin pb&j for my meals...not kelp noodles. This “beginner” is on another level 😂
Lol to be fair she did say she was vegetarian for a year
@@mayasetlur5471 PAHAH I’m on year 3 and I do that!!
It was pasta with tomato sauce for me for at least a month 😅
I was straight up eating a piece of bread with black coffee every night for a week it was horrible. I'm ashamed of that
@@a.bquiroz914 💀 I can’t explain to you how much this hurt to hear. I could never, oh my gosh. But good on you for sticking to it.
Being a student and vegan: peanut butter on toast for every meal of the day
Not every meal for me, just two times a day for five days a week 🙂...
I also slice tomato on top of mine so... fruit 🙂
Can’t wait till you start experiencing the symptoms of leaky gut.
arkofthesea can u please chill? Find me a single college student who eats healthily. Lack of time and money pushes most to survive off ramen noodles but I wouldn’t hear you say u wish for them to get leaky gut.
And bananas on that. 👍🍌
Or margarine on toast of you’re too broke already to buy peanut butter xD
This is what vegans *who like to cook* eat in a day. You don't have to do all this
why wouldnt grown adults actually want to cook? yall really that lazy?
True
Every adult, vegan or not, should know how to cook three meals a day. Obviously you don't have to cook every meal every day, and I get that you can be busy, but you should know how.
KCYB22 not enjoying cooking doesnt make you lazy lmao
yea this video is awful, should include how its heavily time consuming products that require 300$ worth of additional kitchen supplies to make
I’m glad that they featured very creative and helpful vegans. I always get nervous when I click on vegan “what I eat” videos because they always end up eating a pound of bananas and a liter of orange juice and swear up and down that you shouldn’t cook your food and never use oil. It really makes the vegan diet look fun and doable.
Brandon had the best recipes. The BBQ mushrooms actually looked dope dope. And Carolina gold on rice is a staple of mine.
Vegans can't eat mushrooms.. they're neither animal nor vegetable. They're in-between on their own evolutionary branch. Hence them being "semi-alive"...
@@micky6312 wut?
@@micky6312
Give me some of what you're smoking
Let’s go Brandon
@@joojoobean7656 I was looking for this comment.
Please put Brandon in the thumbnail.
Reign Nail Studio his recipes looked better tasting and more practical
Yea I found it weird that he wasn't in the thumb nail
They are comparing the Extreme ends of the spectrum. If you want the thumbnail to look attractive, you don't put the middle. I have seen some people call it racism and it's ridiculous
@@rajvishukla458 But they made it seem like it was just 2 people.... His receipts better suit me. No-one is talking about race here.
@@perlag304 his recipes were horrible nutritionally speaking. He will not last long term vegan if he does not include beans and more fats in his diet.. AND I AM ONLY POSTING THIS BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT VEGANISM LONG TERM. I know my comment seems unrelated but it is a response to his recipes looking more practical. The OP also said his recipes better suit them and that is concerning for me. These comments can influence and make people think it is OK to eat like this daily and it is definitely not. You don't have to trust me research vegan nutrition with a long term registered dietician. Not a doctor who wants to sell books on potatoes or some vegan youtuber who has created a recipe book based on a diet for profit not on overall nutrition. Thanks!!!
"What 2 normal vegans and 1 vegan chef eat in a day"
Yep! Lol
Lmao I'm a new vegan (2 1/2 weeks vegan) and I have an aunt that has been vegan for 1 or 2 years. I absolutely love her food! ITS THE BEST! She is a literal chef in the kitchen
@Aum Kaigziabiher nice 👍
@Aum Kaigziabiher wow! Any tips for starting?
A "normal vegan" eats pasta, bread and oatmeal. They're all get ambitious in the video
The massaging kale with oil thing is amazing. I've been doing it for a while and it really helps with the texture and squeakiness of the kale. It makes my salad feel like it's from a fancy restaurant instead of a convenience store.
brandon's meals were the most relatable to me. i loved to see it
Brandon’s dinner meal looked fire. We can be friends.
If you're vegan or choose to please do not eat like him
No legumes and not enough fats. He is going to have issues long term.
s B i completely agree with what you’re saying; however, that doesn’t take away from his dinner looking delicious and being something one can enjoy from time to time.
Personally I think it’s better to consume a good dose of protein every day as a vegan. He could’ve put vegan protein to the shake. It’s okay as long as they’re individually okay with their health and energy.
s B I think he uses vitamins. Most vegans do.
@@shannond.7487 yeah I am not really sure where I said that it takes away. I agree with you. Being vegan is really important to me and SO many go vegan and quit because they do not eat right so I thought i would throw that in. Not everyone has negative intentions.
Everyone complaining about the guy saying 'quinoa' while I'm here frustrated with how fast Mel is speaking.
sugarqueen 😭 i think she sped her video up
Try 0,75 speed, it's so much better I think she speed it up
I was frustrated with both, lol, but not enough to stop watching.
I think it’s perfect, since I’m a fast speaker myself
Same, I thought Mei needed to really slow down.
I'm so sorry, did my man just pronounce "quinoa" as "key-no-a"
I seriously just went on a deep dive through the comments to see if anyone else was bothered by that 😆 He also said "oh-ster mushrooms" more than once lmfao
@@iRosie13 Same lol
Same!!! I couldn't let that one slide 😂😂
How are you supposed to pronounce it?
@Shea Donnelly lol wtf. I don't mean to be rude but that doesn't sound right, maybe for English people but he's saying it the "original" way.
Today I learned I am an "experienced" vegan lol. Sometimes I make beautiful, elaborate, time consuming, healthy meals and sometimes I eat frozen vegan chicken nuggets...
I misheard "ground cinnamon" as "brown cinnamon", and thought what the hell kind of cinnamon have I been using then? 😂🙈
Omg same hahaha
He definitely said “brown cinnamon” 😭😭 yeah I was lost af too 😂
Me too...
Hahaha me too. I was like whaaa never heard of brown cinnamon before 🤔
Thats what the (not auto generated) subtitles said
I feel like this has 0 to do with experience and 100% with just how much you wanna cook and what quality of food you desire
even a 20 year vegan will make toast with peanutbutter on lazy days
and a day one vegan can make a fried tofu chia special when they feel fancy
Also 100% relies on ability (like energy) and money
@@abuzzingbee yes! That's why i started doing meal prep subscriptions. Still vegan or course, delicious and healthy meals, but much easier when it comes to actually making a wholesome meal! Its been so helpful 💚
@@alison9189 im always sacred i wont like what i get, and that it could be too much hardwork for a snack tbh
Peanut butter and sliced banana is a hell of a combination tho 🤌
20 years vegans are death 🤣
I’ve been vegan 5 months strong!! I definitely see a huge change in my skin and energy overall! I love it so much💕 thank you for this video!!❤️✨
Congratulations! Thank you ❤️
Gotta tell you that Brandon KNOCKED it out of the park! I definitely wanna try the ramen and BBQ!!!
It's interesting to me that Brandon was not included in the thumbnail at all. Why the reason for that choice if this video is about 3 levels of experience with veganism why not include all 3 of them in the thumbnail?
Saniorah Edouard it’s because he’s black
Saniorah Edouard It’s because he had the best recipes!!! Because he is BLACK!!!!!
Alexa Aguirre not true
M G again. not true
Alexa Aguirre it’s because they want to show a drastic change between the two. If it was because he was black then why is he even in this video at all?
I'm a 15 year vegan *eats half a bag of baby carrots in front of the fridge with the door open for lunch*
Nice, good use of electricity.
Yes! Except its full carrot and I sit on the kitchen floor 😄
I'm an omnivore and I eat raw organs/meats and fruit on a daily basis, and kefir best ever.
On the rare occasion I'll eat rotten meat called high meat, which makes me euphoric.
@@delong8998 That's gross. Why do people like you have to meantion raw meat diet on a vegan channel?? Why the heck is that necessary???
@@delong8998 Raw meat and organs....
Kiiind of wary of your ideas....

Literally just sat here after eating a bowl of cornflakes with oatmilk like 🥺🥺
Some advice from someone who has been vegan for 7 years without having any health issues: if you're new to eating a vegan diet, I think it's really helpful to track your food for a week using an app like Cronometer. Lots of new vegans make the mistake of either eating mostly fruit and veg (which won't get you enough fat and protein unless you eat huge volumes of food), or eating a lot of processed vegan food, which can lead to unintentional overeating. Unfortunately, when people feel bad on a vegan diet, they often blame the lack of dairy/meat instead of putting in the work to track their food and figure out if they're undereating or missing essential nutrients. Another important thing to note is that not every vegan diet is a "whole foods plant based" diet, and you don't need to eat only whole plant foods to be vegan. Some processed vegan food is okay and can make it easier and more enjoyable to be vegan in the longterm.
Or you can just eat a balanced diet of whole foods, meat and vegetables and not deprive yourself of key brain nutrients in the name of an illogical ideology.
Yeah, sometimes people replace meat with veg and get no where near enough calories. It should be replaced with beans, and all else being equal people should eat a larger volume unless weight loss is a goal.
The Daily Dozen app is SUPER helpful if you want to go the unprocessed route!!

And that's on science baby.
@@nomnomgamer9882 /okay before anyone says anything, I just really want to hear why you think it's an illogical ideology? I really don't want a hot heated debate, so please reply and tell me your reasoning before anyone turn this into a battle field
My favorite breakfast is avocado toast, smoothie, and or pancakes and you can make healthy oatmeal pancakes with a ripe 🍌, like .5 cup of oatmeal, almond milk, baking powder and vanilla then blend it up. Top with cinnamon and fruits, and its delicious, and a different way to eat oatmeal.
I've been making that peanut sauce since 2018 and love it! Only I use water instead of milk and no agave or lime. Interested in trying it that way though 🤗
Don’t worry non vegans or new vegans watching. There are vegans that just eat some soy yoghurt and store bought cereal for breakfast, pasta for lunch and a vegan burger and a side salad with fries for dinner. Oh and don’t forget about the oreo’s, lots of oreo’s and ice Cream and.. well you guys get it!
Keoma A underrated comment haha
Which is why nobody stays vegan for longer than a year or two. Choking on junk food is the only way for them to keep their sanity since eating only vegetables is unnatural and obviously a mental and physical torture, and any vegan food, junk food or no, is equally lacking in nutrients.
IAmAgainst S/o to the good old balance ^^ This video just doesn't show realistic eating in my view. Gotta have the sweets AND the veggies and legumes 😋 Both yummy
I have banana and honey porridge every morning, I feel like that could be made vegan fairly easily (or at least beegan). I think a lot of us eat vegan meals occasionally without even thinking about it, and people who are lactose-intolerant even more so.
Sarah Carter definitely! What I always give as a tip to people that want to go vegan is: look at what you already have and can easily replace one to one. All of the other crazy vegan stuff will come later (read 500 tofu creations or making your own seitan). It’s usually way easier and tastier than you think. I transitioned really slowly and have never regretted my decision in the 4,5 years I’ve been vegan 😊
Why isn’t Brandon in the thumbnail? He even had the most conventional recipes
Fr his are the most realistic of what I would make
He had the worst recipes
@@Candela115 did somebody ask
cause he’s black
Maybe because he was in the middle category and the 2 women were from the shortest amount of time to the longest of being vegan? Like if he was vegan for 6 weeks Id say he would be in the thumbnail
Fun fact: Sauerkraut in Germany is typically made of white cabbage, whereas red cabbage is reffered to as Blaukraut (blue cabbage), because fresh german red cabbage turn water bright blue when you are cooking it.
Thank u
Whats Rotkraut then
@@Traveler-rf8ye it is basically all the same. The vegetable is called Rotkohl (red cabbage), then there is Blaukraut (the Bavarian dish made out of shredded red cabbage, that turns blue when cooked) and northern Germans will call raw shredded red cabbage "rotes Kraut". (:
.... And I use that left over water to cook pasta. It makes it a fun colour :)
@@timtreefrog9646 what a cute idea 😍
This was such a great video! I’m going to try all of these!
For decades Tempe is considered a “poor people food” In Indonesia because most people couldn’t afford to buy meat. So kids felt ashamed when they bring Tempe for lunch. Funny to see it’s the other way around and it’s considered trendy now.
veganism isn't a trend, it's about ethics. But I'm glad it's more mainstream now
cutting out meat from your diet would be considered a poor man's meal practically anywhere in the world a while ago. thankfully it is changing
It’s interesting how white people eating something makes it trendy (ofc there are vegans of colour but the people who popularized tempeh in non-asian cuisine are whiteys)
@@YeetusTheFetus Oh no no, it's not a trend, it's "ethic". My Hindu friends have been vegan for almost as long as they live but because it's a life choice, they never smirk whenever i eat meat.
In my country we used to be ashamed as kids of eating legumes or quinua because it was poor people food too! Kids would throw it out and pretend they were too good for a non meat meal. Most of us are veg now lol
All of these people: cooking and making an effort
Me: survives off pasta, vegan chicken nuggets and non-dairy ice cream
That's all sugar, processed and added chemicals. No meat doesn't mean healthy
Moon Raker that’s the point. She’s saying that just cause your vegan it doesn’t mean you cook everything and are healthy.
Well, for your own health's sake, you should make an effort
The Struggle Is real huh?
same LOL
Thank you for making these! Super helpful ideas
I've been struggling with my diet wasn't feeling good of the stuff I was putting in my body so I started trying out vegan options and I'm telling you I've never felt healthier and happier in my life :)
Every vegan meal ever: GARLIC POWDERRRRR
Garlic powder is the bombbbbbbb
😂 right!! I ain't complaining though. I lovee it!!
Garlic for everything in general. : )
So true!!!
It is nice.
Laughs as I microwave vegan pre packaged nuggets like it’s nothing 3 times a day
nyanberry same 😂
Lmao I got likes Poggers
Why is this me? 😂
Lmao samee
Saaaaaaaaaaaame!
I really enjoyed this. You guys need to do another one 😋
I want to try making these all! They all look so good! 🤩 Is there a list of these recipes out there?!
If one is going vegan, they should learn some basic Indian food like lentils (dals), cauliflower and potato dish. Lentils are pretty easy to cook with rice and makes a hearty meal in less than half an hour ( except for restaurant style dal makhni which takes hours)
Dude I’m Indian and Vegan and GOING TO INDIA AND BEING VEGAN IS TOO HARD BC LIKE THEY ALL WANT U TO DRINK MILK AND GET MAD WHEN U DONT but yes Indian food without the Ghee (it’s like butter) is perfect for vegans
Yeah. I’m vegan and from the UK but the Indian food has honestly been delicious. It’s sort of sad to see more Indians eating meat more often now as they become able to afford it.
Inferno Tube in-fact it is the opposite, there is a very significant non-vegetarian population in India and vegetarianism as a concept has been traditionally practiced among the more prosperous communities/families as they had the option to use substitutes for nutrition. Meat is more easily available and inexpensive source of nutrition in fact
Inferno Tube it’s not because they’re starting to be able to afford it, it’s because of western influence in india
Please try: ruclips.net/video/XyqKu7kSeOs/видео.html the recipe and let us know your feedback
2 years as a vegan:
Breakfast: Oats with Oat Milk
Lunch: Pitta and Hummus
Dinner: Tomato Pasta
How is that healthy?
Kelly Etienne did they ever say it was healthy lol
Kelly Etienne honestly tho that doesnt sound the most unhealthy, not healthy but could definitely be a lot worse
@@kellyetienne1391 Keep in mind they don't eat this every single day. They probably eat other proteins, not just a bit of hummus.
I think this is a more realistic vegan diet compared to the one these people are doing.
I couldnt afford all that fresh fruit every morning for a smoothie! And I can't be arsed to make all those fancy salads, give me hummus and pasta, I thank you!
I love this video so much!!! Thank you all guys, you are great!!!!
this was amazing. Especially the oyster mushrooms!!! Yum!!
Nobody:

BAHAHHAHAHA
I‘m vegan myself but their meals actually shocked me a little bit ... My breakfast would never be just a few protein bars with 1 or 2 clementines. For lunch and dinner I always have soup, salad , cooked bulgur and veggies. Idk why but I guess it’s because my family is Turkish and we love to cook more than just one meal.
Melike __e omg yay, another turkish vegan!! i don't know any other turkish vegans so it's always a lil' sad when i wna talk abt veganising traditional turkish food bc they don't know anything abt it
but they all cooked all three meals for the day?? not just one?
They eat what works for them!
Ayeee i didnt think there's another turkish vegan out there! I used to be vegeteranian and recently ive been switched to vegan!
hem vegan hem de türk!!! çok tebrik eder ve kolaylıklar dilerimm
Having been vegetarian for several years in the past and now eating mostly pesco-vegetarian I would say the turning point from eating "whatever is made out of plants" into "oooh, this is delicious" was learning to use spice and be bold about it. Also I highly recommend steaming rather than roasting veggies to conserve the nutrients better and cooking your way around the world. Dried lentils and beans are often cheaper than canned versions and easy to make a big patch and freeze to portions to add to your cooking later for much needed protein.
I’ve been vegan for a couple years now and I’ve become pretty tired of my regular recipes. Not all of them but thank you for this video bc it’s so inspiring to try new things!
kinda mad why isn’t Brandon in the thumbnail???? like he did not contribute amazing recipes for this video to not even be in the thumbnail??? what’s that about !!!!

I know right his vegan ramen recipe was soooo good i didn't add mushrooms cus i don't like them
Mhm
That bbq oyster mushroom!
The only protein he ate for the day was quinoa though.
@@joeyk9441 there is protein in other things he used as well, like veggies and chia seeds. You don't have to include it every meal, you get some from most foods. Plus quinoa is very rich in protein, so the amount he ate is a lot already.
thankyou so much
I made the kale Cesar salad for dinner, added some butternut 😍 amazing!
Rachel: wakes up at 3am to make granola bars
me: survives on pasta and lentils
You do know pasta isnt vegan, its egg and flour...
@@Ava-cw3jf you know you can get vegan pasta...
@@Ava-cw3jf Most store-bought, dried pasta is vegan, but if I'm buying a new brand I always make sure to check :)
she might prepare the granola bars in advance 🙂
@@Ava-cw3jf I have never seen pasta with egg in it. It's literally just durum wheat flour, or lentil flour. Perhaps with spinach and carrot powder if you want tri-coloured ones, but I have never, ever seen pasta with egg in them.
Tip: don't cook your Veggies like broccoli, carrots and cauliflower with so much water. it takes out the nutrients. instead, steam them. put a bit of water in the pot, so that it covers the bottom and like 1-2cm up. add your Veggies, cook on medium and cover. it takes a bit more time, but it's worth it! :)
Yes! and they end up tasting so much better
Yes! They stay crunchier as well. I steam mine in the microwave cause it's faster.
To avoid the nutrient loss I just consume the water as well.
@@glong86 same, and inhale the water that evaporated

I'm in between intermediate and experienced vegan and I made all these recipes. I love the beginner recipes because they are usually what I make for fast and easy recipes then some days I take more time with my recipes. :)

@@soledad0308 minted oil is a troll. He accuses people of being trolls when they type about facts he doesn't like.
To be vegan you can't eat or use animal products. Everyone in the video is using animal products so none of them are vegan.
Vegan (noun) - a person that does not eat or use animal products.
This is the official definition of vegan lobbied by the Vegan Society.
I hope that cleared things up for you.
PSA for vegans who like/miss the taste of eggs!! Use black salt when making tofu scramble, it gives it that eggy flavor which is really comforting. It smells like sulfur and is VERY strong so only use a pinch or two! I got my black salt in a store but you can also find it on Amazon.
This is so smart wtf
@@ericadurazo9242 Right?? I wish I could take credit but someone taught me that yeaaaars ago! It's been a life saver c:
I came to this comment section only to find this comment and I'm not even vegan.
Black lava salt or ayurveda salts both are just ideal for this reason.
omggg thank you!! i’m gonna try this c:
Dude black pepper smells like Sulphur? What kinda peppers are u gettin man 😅😅
Yay I'm a new vegan and watching these recipes make it so much smoother transition.
I love all the recipes but the one I am going to try to cook is barbecue mashorms it looks delicious 😋
Not a vegan, but slowly incorporating more plant-based foods into my diet. I wanna try a plant-based diet once I move out. Totally gonna try homegirl’s kale “caesar” salad. Looks AMAZING.
I love caesar salad, it does look incredible!!
Don't do it. Ruins your looks and health.
Hannah Grace umm how does veganism ruin your health or beauty ? Most vegan actually look way more attractive than the average person . Models are also way more likely to vegan than the general population.
@@hg3895 it can be harmful for some people, whereas for others it can be great 🤷🏻♀️
The American dietetics association released a peer reviewed statement based on the largest study conducted of its kind which said a whole foods plant based diet was healthful for all stages of life, including vulnerable stages like pregnancy, infancy and old age. There is nothing you can't get on a vegan diet that you can on an omnivorous one.
Also what’s up with the comments like “protein is important when you’re vegan” “iodine is important when you’re vegan”... it’s important even when you’re not vegan.. it makes it sound like a vegan diet means you’re extra needing these vitamins
i think they mean it’s important to make sure you’re getting those nutrients bc meat is naturally high in those nutrients so if you’re vegan, you have to intentionally incorporate those nutrients into your meals so you don’t become deficient
yeah, it is more important to seek proteins as a vegan since you can't eat meat, meat eaters have to worry less about it since we can get proteins easier
Actually you’re both wrong. I Tim of black beans has more protein than a piece of meat and more nutrients, and fibre!!
@@beccaclements9236 honestly i'm not sure about that, all i know is that animal proteins are different, or so i was taught, i'm not an expert and i'm open to change my mind, won't stop eating meat tho
@@marcodalfonso2449 Most people eat too much protein and protein deficiency is almost unheard of in developed countries. Yea you need some but not as much as people think. I'd be more worried about iron, since that's a common deficiency in general.
I have arthritic pain in my hands sometimes and kneading can be hard... can make be put in a Ziploc bag with salt and be kneaded that way?
I'm just learning to cope, but I remember making ramen noodles this way. I worry it might be too rough for kale, but my kale experience is limited, too. I usually can't find it or don't have the money for fresh😅
Those mushroom bbq and tempeh tacos looked SOOOO GOOD! I crave bbq, and really like the taste of it with mushrooms! I've only had oyster mushrooms once, but now I might have to invest in a grow kit!
this video is older lol but the tacos at the end made me think of some tacos I made recently that were unbelievably delicious!
*beans or red lentils* there are some great recipes out there for making red lentils with a latin flair
*sliced avocado*
*diced tomatoes*
*diced white or yellow onion*
*greens of choice* I chopped up some butter lettuce
*chopped cilantro*
*salsa of choice* this mango/pineapple one from whole foods was delicious, plus a spicy one for some kick
*fresh squeeze of lime juice*
honestly the onions, cilantro, and lime juice are what makes tacos amazing. It's what you'll find at every authentic local taqueria :)
Brandon definitely had the best recipes why wasn’t he in the thumbnail
Is recipes where lacking in a lot of nutrition specifically protein I agree they looked good but he could have added some nut butter to his smoothie, tofu or tempeh to ramen, and walnuts or smth to his bbq
It's the two extremes in the thumbnail to catch viewers
yummy
Definitely didn’t know there would be a middle or extra recipes , a nice bonus for the viewer I believe 🤔
Bc he wasn’t the higher or the lower of the vid
Mai NEEDS to get herself some Kala Namak. Its an Indian Sulfur Salt, that smells and tastes just like eggs. Its super potent, and heat kinda kills it. So you can just stir it in with your scrambled tofu as soon as its done :) Lauren from Hotforfood has a recipe for vegan runny egg yolk containing this salt- Its so good, no one would know its vegan. I swear!
Is kala namak the same as black salt
Ms. Nandi yes!
@@MsNandi-yf1lo I'm sure it is because in Hindi, "kala" means black and "namak" means salt.
@@magickgirl786 That actually proves nothing. F.e. el sombrero in Spanish means hat. What av. non-Spanish speaking human understand by "sombrero" is certain type of hat (actually called sombrero de mexicano or sombrero de charro).
In fact kala namak is Indian black salt. There are few other places where they have black salt.
@@Petaurista13 kala namak is indian black salt.
Brandon's recipes look delicious!
After living with my vegetarian best friend (who doesn't like eggs and is lactose intolerant) for 2 months, I realized how east it is to make a simple salad with chickpeas and rice, it tastes so good. Also tofu is so easy to prep and cook
Brandon is so cute & has such a nice voice. You don’t find many men vegans well at least not in North Carolina
I wouldn't think you'd find many vegans at all in North Carolina, regardless of gender lol
All the vegans in NC are in Asheville 🤣
Brooke Gillespie or wilmington
Sounds like you need to pay Asheville a visit.
@NOOKEY69 Hard!! I live here... know lots of vegans lol
8:12 always start with onions before garlic, onion needs time to get cooked while garlic gets cooked pretty fast
Yup 😬 I always cook the onion until it starts to brown and then I add garlic 👌
I was all, raw garlic? More like burnt
Real "Sauerkraut" looks differnt. It's usually fermented white cabbage.
For the tofu scramble I've heard one key ingredient is black salt because it makes it more of an egg flavor but not sure where to get that.
The dude isn't in the thumbnail because of the way he pronounces quinoa
no its just racism
But did you enjoy his recipes? Or was the pronunciation issue the bigger thing?
i don't think they were beign racists i think they just put the youngest vegan and the oldest vegan 💚👀
Y’all, it isn’t racism or anything, it’s the vegans who have been vegan for the *longest* and *shortest* He is just in the middle that’s all :D
Veerle Jansen Omg please stop bringing racism into this. Just use your brain to understand it. It's not that hard.
As a mediterranean the only shocking thing is the lack of oil... they seem scared of it lmao
Shinny Pinneaple it’s pretty typical of vegan diets it seems. I watch a lot of vegan people on RUclips, and there are lots of “anti-oil” people, though not all of them are. My family is Greek so I find it strange to be anti-oil when EVOO is insanely healthy. But to each their own I guess
Shinny Pinneaple because there are no health benefits from any defined vegetable oils. It is just the fat and it spikes cholesterol
A lot of people are drawn to veganisim for health reasons and therefore avoid oil- not all vegans are like that though :)
@@Becky0494 I am vegan and eat a lot of olive oil with bread, tomatoes etc.
As a vegan myself I’m always shocked by the anti-oil sentiment. I use EVOO in most everything, couldn’t imagine cooking without it.
Really good information!!
“kee-no-wah” bless him
The thumbnail confused me, I thought that after 6 years of being vegan her face completely changed 😓😂😂
Sammmmeee😂😂
Yeah, I was like "Woah, she aged badly and looks unhealthy" 😐
@@gianettie5015 lmao that's exactly what I thought too. My thought at the time: (Note to self: omg do not become vegan it will ruin you! And physically change your facial features?? Now let me click on it to watch her deterioration throughout the years)
I actually thought the same 😅😅😅
Jessica PZ omg 🤣🤣🤣 so accurate!!! After seeing the TB I thought it was like anti-vegan video ... 😂😂😂 so confusing
Why are all of their meals so low calorie?? I've been vegan for 6 years too. I would've liked to see someone use normal vegan protein like tofu or veggie burgers/fake meat. There's no shame in it if it keeps you from eating animals!
With every meal they showed I was like, okay, where's the protein? (only the tofu scramb,e had a good amount of protein imo) Also Brandons mushroom bbq whatever that was, that meal lacked so much protein and he could really have made up for it in that meal if he had used tofu or tempeh or whatever. I really can't relate to how those vegans eat haha. Totally agree with what you're saying with the shame. People ask me why I want vegan burgers or whatever if I could just eat real burgers. They don't understand why we need substitutes. It's about the animals and the environment so I don't see anything wrong with wanting to recreate those non vegan things that someone used to eat but making them vegan. It doesn't make you any less of a vegan.
yeah, not going to lie i eat way more than these guys seem to, but i guess everyone is different?
Charlie Parker I eat a lot more too. And I’m not ashamed. Their diets seem really unattainable and unsatisfying. Really not happy with the way veganism is portrayed in the video cuz no one is going to be happy with such small portions.
What are you talking about?? Low calorie the amount of oil that was used in some of the meals add hundreds of calories. I agree it’s not a lot of protein however I don’t think all of them are low calorie.
May May yeah but for instance the one week vegan keeps saying that instead of oil you could use water or broth. That’s not very promising. And if Brandon hadn’t added chia seeds to his morning smoothie.... he makes his smoothie with water ffs
Yall make it look so good!! Wish that was me!:(
Cinnammon into the bbq sauce... Will definitely try!!!
Me being vegan for 4 years eating instant oatmeal and avocado toast watching like
👁👄👁
Your pfp just makes it funnier😂
@@ItsMeBennyA lmao
i hate instant oatmeal lol
B SAME
This 😂
Okay so here’s your real average vegan what I eat in a day lol. Breakfast: Oatmeal and banana. Lunch: boca burger and chips with hummus. Snack: Smoothie. Dinner: Mushroom and potato curry. Other snack: Off brand thin mint cookies from dollar general lol (This is what I ate yesterday lol)
Laoinator that sounds perfect
can I have your recipe for the mushroom and potato curry?
Ok this is good
Sounds like id die from malnutrition but ok
@@zamiaramirez1390 ikr😂like obvs have your vitamins supplements and you'll be fine.
I made the chilli mac (it was just vegetarian not vegan) and it was good. It was good for left overs too
Whoa I'm not vegan but I deffs want to try what Rachels making, all of her meals look so good!
3:24 Protip: the secret to making tofu scrambles taste just like eggs is an ingredient called *Black Salt.* Also known as Kala Namak, it's a type of salt that has a large amount of sulfur in it which causes the dish to have that "eggy" flavor. It's super easy to find in most international grocery stories but you can get it online pretty easily too.
@@Dana-qd1kf Sure thing!
I always find it gets too salty before it gets eggy. Any tips there?
purplegill10 or fake eggs
Jack Wakeham lose the salt 🧂
Yeeeees kala namak is super important!!
Gonna try:
Mei's fruit quinoa
Rachel's kale salad
Brandon's BBQ mushroom!!
Thanks for the ideas
Chantel Chan right! I wish they linked the recipes so we didn’t have to go through the video again
Actually those are my 3 as well
I agree those where my favorite recipes too❤
Brandon’s menu is most similar to what I like to eat. Mai’s food looked good as well.
you guys soooo great ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brandon out here pronouncing Qinuoa like Key-Noah, someone has to tell him
They did him dirty by not telling him! At least one other person must have noticed.
Heard him say it, thought "nope don't like that," and went directly to comments because I knew someone else had to have noticed.
Laughed for like ten minutes about that.
@@muniaelmarhoumiruretagoien639 oh that's so cool. I am not Spanish so I have never heard it that way. Good to know.
6:23 girly out here pronouncing Dijon mustard DijuhN or something, someone has to tell all of y'all
*laughs in vegan who eats pasta and smoothies for every meal of the day*
I feel you. I’m looking at this like “Ya’ll cook three meals a day????”
How do you "laughs in vegan?"
Honestly I eat like 1meal a day and loads of fruit
Yes! And Oreos and oatmeal 😂
Same 🤣
I’ve been vegetarian for about 12 years, but I mainly eat a vegan diet, as my body pretty much hates dairy for the most part, and I don’t eat eggs. I generally love to cook, and I do a lot of meal prep, so I tend to try new vegan/vegetarian recipes pretty often. But it all depends on how I’m feeling that week. I also don’t eat soy products, so I’m limited on protein options, which almost forces me to get creative and do more research on the best foods and recipes for my diet. But ultimately, it really doesn’t matter if you’ve been vegan for a week or for 25 years, it depends on personality and degree of interest in food prep/creative cooking, which of course can vary day to day for most people.
5:23 recipe should have been attributed to minimalist baker. That salad one of my faves from her website.
21 years strong. It takes time. One day at a time . Congrats to you all! When I started it wasn't popular at all. I was very young. The growth of your food changes with knowledge. You got this! Good job
cool
damn 21 years is amazing, you've made such a huge impact.
@@goaway7421 yes a huge impact on destroying the earth with transported man made fruits and vegetables that r sprayed with pesticides- killing insects and other inhabitants just so u can destroy your entire digestive system👏🏼
@@u.n258 man made vegetables... what. vegans eat vegetables that everyone else eats
@@u.n258 Dude. You realize animals eat plants too. In fact much more cumulatively than if everyone in the whole world went vegan
native english speakers pissed in the comments because they think the way they pronounce quinoa is the only correct way lol quinoa is pronounced kin-oah in a lot of languages (like portuguese! im from brazil and we pronounce like that too ♥️)
edit: guys i dont think there is a right way to pronounce it. there is a thing called regionalism, and it is about the changing of words pronunciation across regions, cultures and accents. it shows our diversity and its beautiful! we have to respect that. no need of arguing.
Also Spanish!!!
Even German 😬
lol..it should sound Quínoa..like in Spanish because Quinoa comes from the Peruvian Andean mountains..
a lot of languages pronounce it wrong you're right.
@@brians_beanwater8048 lol i hope you are kidding, quinoa is not a english word
“Key-noah” honestly I’m not on a diet but like I want to try all of these
The kale salad looked sooo good and i hate salads. I always have to talk my self up to eating one
