When I grocery shop, I go with a plan so that I don't have a bunch of random stuff I don't know what to do with. I find 2 recipes to make for the week & then write out a list & go just for that stuff. + some staples like berries, bananas, some frozen things & always kale -- like your sauteed kale, lime & nutritional yeast recipe you told us about a long while ago. That is my absolute FAVORITE! Love your videos for simple, memorable ideas. Thank you!
I love the way that you speak about food. As someone who is in recovery from an eating disorder, it’s so great to see someone who eats with balance, Doesn’t have foods that are off limits, or “bad” and eats with variety and beauty! Thank you so much for the care and creativity you put into each video.
Here is a tip: When I have bagged lettuce that I know I won't be able to get through, I fold the bag down tight to get the air out and put a clip on it and toss it in the freezer for my smoothies. No food waste!
Aw it did lol thank you for noticing! It's honestly so nice to know that you appreciate it and that you enjoyed the video!! Genuinely lights me up with happiness :) Hope you're having a great day so far! Thank you for the nice comment!
These videos are so helpful, we all get stuck in ruts and I buy a lot of these same products but I just make the same things I always make instead of combining different things for fresh flavors!
Aw thanks Lindy! That's nice of you to notice! I love the feedback I get in the comments and the opportunity to express my gratitude to the people who take the time to watch my content and respond to it. It means so much to me :) Thanks for the kind words. Hope you're having a great day so far!
NikkiVegan it actually I wanted to loose weight but every since I’ve been researching on vegan foods and recipes I thought why is animals being used for meals when this stuff is delicious and healthy I lost 9lbs in 10days and I’m a busy mom with 6 kids so time for a healthy life and being less exhausted
You never ever disappoint!! You've given me so so much food inspiration and perfect timing bc tomorrow is payday which means grocery day! I love how well you explain each recipe and how thorough you are, very well spoken. Thanks for another great video!
Bianca this was SO nice to read. It really means a lot to me that you like my channel and my recipes! Thanks for taking the time to comment and let me know. It's comments like these that keep me motivated to keep making videos. THANK YOU! Hope you're having a nice evening!
Hey a tip someone taught me is when u buy big bags of fresh greens & you don't use it all & think it's going to go bad, pop it in the freezer. I do this with kale, spinach & any other freezable green. That way it doesn't have a chance to go bad & I've already used what I wanted out of it fresh. Then after frozen I can pull out what I need in scrambles, soups, stir frys, etc.
I loved the video! Peppermint and sleepytime tea are staples for me and I'm pretty loyal to the Celestial Seasonings brand though I love other brands as well. Also homemade ginger tea is awesome during the cold season especially. Fruit tea us also lovely, I just really like tea though. I treat basil the way you do parsley and use it for almost everything including smoothies in combination with mint. I also really love sourdough bread and sometimes eat it with apple butter or jam. That cream cheese and jam idea is genius btw! Also, if you save the end pieces and crust from sourdough they make delicious croutons. Buckwheat noodle pad thai (though untraditional) is another favorite dish as well as tikka masala with potatoes. I also tend to buy treats from my local Sprouts as I get great digital coupons all the time. They have a good selection of dark chocolate which I use as a reward for finishing an assignment or programming project etc....... Also, as a side note, your triple chocolate cake was delicious! I made cupcakes for church and everyone that tried thoroughly enjoyed them!
Wow! Thanks Nichol! Nice to know that you liked my chocolate cake recipe and that the cupcakes were a hit! That makes me so happy, you have no idea! Also, I agree about basil! I put it on everything too, especially in the summertime. So delicious. Your comment made me hungry!! lol Let me know if you try the cream cheese and jam combo! Honestly one of my favorites because it's something I grew up eating :)
You're so sweet, Nikki! I haven't been around much, but when I get a notification that you have uploaded, i stop what i am doing, (if i can), to watch because you just make me smile!!! One of these days, we just have to meet at Parlour Vegan in East Boca Raton if you come for a visit. Thank you so much for the easy breezy way you present your posts. 👏🏼👍🏻🌴🌻
Aw thank you Beth! And I would love that! I still dream about that amazing vegan bakery!! It was so good! Thank you for always being so kind and supportive. I'm beyond grateful
Always appreciate your meal inspo! Some of my grocery staples include dates (since I can't do sugar), sweet potatoes (EVERY variety to roast and keep in fridge for snacks, salads and meals), cauliflower (again... a base for every salad) and Brussels sprouts (I'm obsessed!).
This video is so helpful! Thank you so much for the ideas- I’m especially excited to try the pancake muffins! 😍 You have such a knack for making vegan food look delicious, easy, and exciting 💗
Aw thank you Rachel! That's nice of you to say :) And yes, try the pancake muffins! They're super easy to make and honestly, so much easier than regular pancakes! Let me know what you think if you give them a go!
Hi, I've been vegan for about 3 years now & I just wanted to let you know you really helped me realize that I can become vegan & I wouldn't have started this new lifestyle without you!
AWWWWW THAT'S AMAZING!! First of all, congrats on 3 years and thank you for saying that I've been a help to you along the way. That really means a lot :) Day. Made.
I love your channel! Do you remember from earlier today on your instagram post we talked with someone who thought soy bad for you? I love how you told them you didn’t judge them for that. I think that is one of the best things to say in that situation. Thank you for being kind to people no matter what!
Amen to that! I definitely wouldn’t have become vegan if there weren’t vegan influencers out there who are approachable, and talk about veganism without losing it! Thank you for being an awesome vegan role model for the everyone. ❤️
Great video haul Nikki! My go-to quinoa salad is made with seedless cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onions, parsley, lemon juice and olive oil. You can add chick peas for additional protein.
I'm a fairly new subscriber. I've watched a lot of vegan channels but I think you have some of the best recipes out there! Also, doing a haul WITH recipes.... Perfectness! 😍
I don't know how I haven't watch you in a bit, did I not push notifications? Anyway, you are sooooooo next level great at what you do!!!!!! This video was awesome, going through each thing and explaining why you bought them and then giving us recipes and ideas and all filmed so beautifully with your gorgeous self, I feel so so fortunate!!!!!!! Thank you for all that you put into your videos, it's very obvious in the best of ways!!!!! Stay Safe guuuurl😷. 😷. ❤️Kathy
@@NikkiVegan you are welcome, you make is so simple that I have to try this and it's so true sometimes you don't know what to make with what you have instead of traditional boring salads lol. Bless you my friend!💐💜
Hi Nikki I’m a new subscriber and let me tell you, I love you videos already and have only watched 4 thus far! I see a binge watch in my near future! 😂 And never even heard of muffin pancakes! Giiirrrrlll... you just made my morning! 🤗😁👍
This all looks so good, so much inspiration! You described me quite well as the person that buys tons of stuff and end up at home not knowing what to cook with it! I can see that you put much effort in the videos, I really appreciate it. I still find it hard to know if my meals are balanced enough, can't wait to see more of your videos because it helps a lot!
I really enjoyed this Nikki! You are the best, thank you for sharing all the ideas. I got home from work tired and ready to relax and seeing this video come up made my night!
That's so nice to hear Natalie! I'm so glad my video was cozy to watch when you got from home work. That's such a nice feeling :) Hope you enjoy the rest of your night!
Great video! This is something I struggle with, having a ton of great ingredients but not knowing what to do with them! Would love to see your top go to smoothies. LYSM Keep it up girl!! Love from the pacific NW
It would be cool if you could do advice for people who are new to cooking like how you know when a recipe is missing something or what flavors are needed to balance. Your recipes are amazing and always have awesome contrast of flavors
Thanks Isabella! That's a great idea! I will work on that because I can see how that would be helpful. Thank you for the suggestion! In the meantime, if you checkout The Vegan View on UA-cam, there's an episode we did where we interviewed Lauren Toyota from Hot For Food and we talked about recipe/flavor development :) Hope you find it helpful!
You look so pretty, wonderful job with your makeup! Also such great recipe ideas too. The peas looked so yummy! Have you ever seen a recipe for mock tuna salad using sunflower seeds? I’d love to try that!
Funny, I just put riced cauliflower in my tofu scramble yesterday. I will definitely be doing that from now on. I actually used the mix with red peppers, onions, and riced cauliflower. Really enjoy your recipes.
I love your videos so much! 💚 I have been vegan for 3 years & have a bunch of go-to meals at this point, but your videos ALWAYS inspire! They just make me see things from a slightly different, creative vantage point. Just to add... you are SO beautiful, your nails always look lovely & your voice is so calming 👑💎 P.S. Some grocery staples for me are lots of fruits & veggies (for weekly salads, cooked meals, veggies & hummus, juices & smoothies), herbal teas (like peppermint & ginger) and chips/pretzels (for a crunchy treat at night) 💖
Lisa this was such a nice comment to read!! Sitting here with my morning coffee and just beaming because what you said really means so much to me. I'm so grateful that you took the time to leave such a kind comment! It's nice to know that my videos are helpful even though you've been vegan for a while now :) Ps. Do you have a favorite ginger tea? Always looking for new ones!
@@NikkiVegan Awww and thank you for your sweet reply, Nikki 💖 I've been very into organic, plain herbal teas and have been continuously buying the one by Traditional Medicinals! The peppermint one I buy is the same company. Have a wonderful day 🥰
This video was so helpful and informative. Recipes look simple and delicious, looking forward to trying these, especially the frosting, and the pancake muffins!
Aw thanks Kimberly! Honestly, sometimes I eat messy bowls of microwaved oats or plain toast with peanut butter (because #reallife lol) but when I can, I do try to make cooking/eating fun by making the food look colorful and vibrant :) It's the little things, am I right? lol Thanks for your comment! Hope you're having a good day so far!
Thank you Irena! That's honestly so nice to hear! Sometimes I work on a video for so long that I end up second guessing myself because I've been staring at it for way too long! lol It's nice to know that you enjoyed it. I really appreciate you letting me know! Hope you're having a nice night
foods I go towards I always love smoothies, I also have been eating vegan bagels with Mikoyos cream cheese, and I get Daves Killer everything bagels and put tomatoes on them. I am also love love the classic PB and J on regular wheat bread. If there is a way to ampt that one up or to change I would love to see it. Sorry if this is long just thought it would be cool to share.
Omg toasted bagel with vegan cream cheese and sliced tomatoes sounds SO good to me right now!! Might have to make that one day soon :) Thanks for the idea Dorothy! Hope you're having a good night!
Pancake muffins on deck for my next breakfast meal prep!! Love this haul!! Because of you I joined Thrive Market 😉 some of the items you featured I've been eyeing so I will be adding to my next order!! Did a similar stuffed sweet potato but didn't like my version I think I'll try yours!!! Keep doing what you're doing #yourloyalnycfan
I can't remember if I shared this oatmeal recipe before but if you want to use a bit of zucchini here it is: Zucchini Bread Oatmeal 1/2 cup oatmeal 1 1/4 cups water 1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp brown sugar Splenda (or sweeten to taste with your own favorite sweetener) 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 -3/4 cup fine shredded zucchini Put all in large cereal bowl, microwave about 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Stir well. I eat this every day, I'm addicted to it! (You can't taste the zucchini). I don't know who the original author of this recipe is but I would love to thank them!
Thank you for the great videos Nikki!!! I was dying when I saw the stuffed turk'y from Gardein. I have been searching high and low for these. Can you tell me where you purchased this?
Sorry to sound a little stupid... I bought a delicata squash about a month ago. I roasted with some olive oil & seasoning and LOVED it!!! My question is, do you eat the skin? I wasn't sure so I ate around it. Either way, it was delicious! Unfortunately, I'm having hard time finding it again.
I was going to ask the same question. It looks like she ate it or she would have peeled it off, right? I would think it would be too thick and hard texture.
These all look delicious! I used to eat soy and tofu all the time, but found that I don't break out as much when I stay away from soy. Does anyone else have this experience? Is there anything I can do so I can eat these delicious recipes but also keep my skin clear? Any advice would be so appreciated
Since I live in Seoul my staples are super basic (mainly veg, fruits are sooo expensive here 😭, dried beans, rice, almond milk, tofu), other things like most grains, pasta variations and nuts are all imported and sadly also extremely expensive :/ you might laugh but I get super excited when I find canned beans because this means I can save cooking time :( I really envy people who can get vegan yoghurt or ice cream in a normal store - that's a luxury I don't have :'( so whenever I'm back home in Europe I stand in front of the huge vegan section of the supermarket and cry (before stuffing my face later) xD I would love to see less fancy recipes - without vegan substitute products (cream, mayo, yoghurt, cheese) I mean :) really would appreciate it~ and if u have any dessert ideas that could be done without an oven with just a microwave, I would be thrilled to try them!! ^^ Love your channel, thank you for your wonderful work and inspiration! May this year be full of happiness and success for you Nikki! 🍀
Thanks for the feedback! The Chocolate Pie recipe can be done without an oven and it uses fairly simple ingredients :) It's no bake, so it's very easy to make. I hope you love it! I'll make sure to include simple recipes in the future with this comment in mind. Thank you again. Hope you're having a wonderful day!

I want you to know that you are the only you tuber that I actually watch and actually enjoy the grocery hauls.
AWWW! That made my night! Thank you for taking the time to let me know :) Hope this video was helpful for you!
Pancake muffins!?!? I have been blind to the possibilities!
Ooooh yes! Such a game changer and so easy! I hope you love them :)
It's genius!
I really love when you tell me what to cook! Anyone can do a haul, but I like to know what you’re going to do with it!!! 💗
That's great feedback! I'm happy to know that you like it/that it's helpful. Thank you so much for letting me know! Hope you're having nice night!
That's my favorite type of video, too - what to make after the grocery haul 👍
@@jbell9179 I'm waiting for the vegan videos where they grow and eat their own food. Otherwise you're just a slave to grocery stores.
Veggie Lovin Accountant agree - so very helpful!
I always love your videos because you're so creative, this one must have taken hours to edit with all the insert clips! ❤️

Trader joes ghost pepper salsa is amazing! Its in the refrigerated section, check it out.

I add a couple shakes of Old Bay seasoning to my faux tuna salad.
Yeah! I use Old Bay in my vegan seafood recipes as well! Adds so much flavor :)
this is so golden!! can't wait for ur high protein video!!!!
I LOVED this video! One of your bests!
Thank you Irena! That's honestly so nice to hear! Sometimes I work on a video for so long that I end up second guessing myself because I've been staring at it for way too long! lol It's nice to know that you enjoyed it. I really appreciate you letting me know! Hope you're having a nice night
foods I go towards I always love smoothies, I also have been eating vegan bagels with Mikoyos cream cheese, and I get Daves Killer everything bagels and put tomatoes on them. I am also love love the classic PB and J on regular wheat bread. If there is a way to ampt that one up or to change I would love to see it. Sorry if this is long just thought it would be cool to share.
Omg toasted bagel with vegan cream cheese and sliced tomatoes sounds SO good to me right now!! Might have to make that one day soon :) Thanks for the idea Dorothy! Hope you're having a good night!
Love this style of video!!
Love these ideas! Thanks so much!
Pancake muffins on deck for my next breakfast meal prep!!
Love this haul!! Because of you I joined Thrive Market 😉 some of the items you featured I've been eyeing so I will be adding to my next order!!
Did a similar stuffed sweet potato but didn't like my version I think I'll try yours!!!
Keep doing what you're doing #yourloyalnycfan

The sriracha cashews, avocado spray, fruit spread and cacao powder because I am dying to make that chocolate cake 😋😋😋
Yum! Thanks for the inspiration ❤️
Nice video. I just did a vegan grocery haul this week too! Great minds think alike! Love your recipe ideas!
I need to try those sweet potato boats and that chocolate cake looked absolutely sensual.
OMG THE CAKE IS SO GOOD! lol I made it like 5 times over the holidays for my family and they all loved it. Hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much!! Happy New Year!

I can't remember if I shared this oatmeal recipe before but if you want to use a bit of zucchini here it is:
Zucchini Bread Oatmeal
1/2 cup oatmeal
1 1/4 cups water
1/4 - 1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp brown sugar Splenda (or sweeten to taste with your own favorite sweetener)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 -3/4 cup fine shredded zucchini
Put all in large cereal bowl, microwave about 2 minutes and 50 seconds. Stir well. I eat this every day, I'm addicted to it! (You can't taste the zucchini). I don't know who the original author of this recipe is but I would love to thank them!
Omg yummm!!! I actually have zucchini I need to use! Thanks for the idea 🤗
This is such a great video. 👏
Thank you for the great videos Nikki!!! I was dying when I saw the stuffed turk'y from Gardein. I have been searching high and low for these. Can you tell me where you purchased this?
Loveness
thanks! :)
Any vegan recipe for
Japanese souffle pancakes?
oh pancake muffins!
Sorry to sound a little stupid... I bought a delicata squash about a month ago. I roasted with some olive oil & seasoning and LOVED it!!! My question is, do you eat the skin? I wasn't sure so I ate around it. Either way, it was delicious! Unfortunately, I'm having hard time finding it again.
I was going to ask the same question. It looks like she ate it or she would have peeled it off, right? I would think it would be too thick and hard texture.
Sent this link to my vegan daughter!!
That's so nice of you! Thank you! I hope she loves it :)
Very helpful video thank you.
I'm so happy to hear thank Jacqueline! Thanks for letting me know :)
These all look delicious! I used to eat soy and tofu all the time, but found that I don't break out as much when I stay away from soy. Does anyone else have this experience? Is there anything I can do so I can eat these delicious recipes but also keep my skin clear? Any advice would be so appreciated
How can I get the smoky chickpea recipe? Thanks great ideas!
Out of topic, update on Ingrid and Wade? Just watched the video and no idea if they really did went out on a date. thanks😁
what brand of tahini do you use ?
What is that Matt on your pan you use? What is it called? I'd like to get one. Thanks 😊
can u link us to the chocolate chips please!!
Why don't you have a restaurant? You're amazing!
Since I live in Seoul my staples are super basic (mainly veg, fruits are sooo expensive here 😭, dried beans, rice, almond milk, tofu), other things like most grains, pasta variations and nuts are all imported and sadly also extremely expensive :/ you might laugh but I get super excited when I find canned beans because this means I can save cooking time :( I really envy people who can get vegan yoghurt or ice cream in a normal store - that's a luxury I don't have :'( so whenever I'm back home in Europe I stand in front of the huge vegan section of the supermarket and cry (before stuffing my face later) xD
I would love to see less fancy recipes - without vegan substitute products (cream, mayo, yoghurt, cheese) I mean :) really would appreciate it~ and if u have any dessert ideas that could be done without an oven with just a microwave, I would be thrilled to try them!! ^^
Love your channel, thank you for your wonderful work and inspiration!
May this year be full of happiness and success for you Nikki! 🍀
Thanks for the feedback! The Chocolate Pie recipe can be done without an oven and it uses fairly simple ingredients :) It's no bake, so it's very easy to make. I hope you love it!
I'll make sure to include simple recipes in the future with this comment in mind. Thank you again. Hope you're having a wonderful day!
lady that frosting I think I could turn some nonvegans with that one lol
haha hope so!! It's seriously delicious :) Hope you enjoy it!
Ah Nikki videos
Aw thanks Allie! Glad you're excited :) Happy New Year!
NikkiVegan happy new year to you
So you eat the peel of the squash, too? Never tried delicata squash😀
Not for all squashes but when roasting delicata I do :)
Such a cool video!
Aw thank you! That's so nice to hear!! I'm glad you liked it :)
