- The long awaited video follow up on what Cara Brotman eats in a day. To most people, it's not exciting, but the payoff speaks for itself. Cara does not feel she is denying herself anything- she actually CRAVES her two favorite things- a huge monster salad and her favorite raw vegan "cookie dough" (not really dough).

Chickpeas (Garbanzo beans), lentils and nuts are LOADED with protein and calories. Check out the nutritional breakdown numbers below.

Her skin, body everything looks like a 25 year old. It's in the tiny details. Don't get fooled by the fact she likes to play around with make up 😅 Skin tone, muscle, hands, neck , eyes. It's in the tiny details, when you know it's authentic. And thanks to her I am not scared anymore of ageing because now I know it's in my hands. I adore these 2 humans and this channel. Thank you 🌱♥️
Aging, not ageing
@@crosisofborg5524 You forgot the full stop smart arse.
@@tilerman exactly! 😅
Nah, not like a 25 year old, but yes, very youthful, fit and glowing. Neither surgery nor make-up can do all that for you.
@@crosisofborg5524 Who are you? The spelling police? Please...🥱
I love it just how she’s frugal and down to earth practical and informative! Way to go! Such a nice couple!
Yes, indeed! Down to earth! That makes it all so appealing and inviting. Had always loved fresh ginger in my food, but am now realizing that I can chop it up just as one would chop up a carrot, and add it in the food. Tastes so good! Such a vibrant taste and accent. Thank you Cara for being my inspiration at this time. Am age 75, and have been eating raw for 13 years.
Cara is truly the most remarkably healthy and beautiful woman on UA-cam! She makes me wish I had started when I was way younger to get healthy. I had no idea women could age so beautifully until I started watching this channel. Love both you guys but being a woman Cara is just such an inspiration to eat healthier now and not wait another day and was a big reason I did do just that. Thanks and love Cara and Markus!
Make more "what i eat in a day" videos of both of you 💚
, please
Marcus already did a video a year ago on this subject.
@@sbnsbaker1 There's never too many what I eat in a day vids -- the more the better!
Omg
Cara and Mark! Down 14 more pounds since Ive adopted your healthy lifestyle! 🙏❤️ I am SOOOO happy I found you guys and adore you both! Also have been sharing you with friends so they may get healthy too! Xoxoxo
That a super salad. Never seen anything like this. wow
Cara….these ‘what I eat in a day’ videos keep me on track! When you make them they inspire me and remind me of why and how. I know they’re a lot of work for you and Markus but they help more than you’ll ever know! 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️🇨🇦. Thank you to both of you!! Please keep them coming. 🙏
You're gorgeous and beautiful! Your husband is hella lucky to have his wife take such good care of her self. Bruh, if you're reading this she's a reflection of you! Great Job to you both :) God Bless!
Very true. Most women don't even try to take care of themselves. Same goes for many men to.
Hi 👋 do you both eat together or r you eating whenever you want? Marcus when he wants? Your food is so beautiful and looks so delicious you would think Marcus would want to sit down next to you and eat with you. you guys are such a blessing.
Carla you are just so amazing and very kind to share your experiences as a chef on video to help people who do not know how to do any of this cooking. Thank you so much ❤❤❤ To 😊the both of you.
She ain’t paying $2.99 for the small mint. I love her
I would not pay that price too! I have a lot of mint growing in my yard😀
I grow mint in pots. It's easy. It's perennial, too.
...and she washes her own car!!! ❤❤❤
Love this video!! I have been looking forward to the updated edition! Love you both so much! Thank you for being so inspiring! God bless you both!
Hey girl I haven't been talking to you in a while but I've been taking your advice and applying it to my life. Let me tell you it's been fantastic! I'm no where near as moody my hormones are better and I don't feel like I'm dragging my body around anymore. I eat as raw as I possibly can. You guys are a God send. Us Americans need to face the fact that our food is NOT healthy and never has been but you have shown us how to feel our best with what we have.
Thanks, Cara! That is an amazing salad! And I love the way you have organized your fridge.
The flavour of this salad must be through the roof! Looove herbs and garlic
Thank you SO MUCH for your videos Cara! You are so smart and i learn so much from you. THank you! You have such great ideas! THank you also for including the recipes for what you make in the notes. You are awesome!
Loved this video! The salad looks amazing!! 🙌🏻
I absolutely loved this video, Cara. I have been in a funk cause of a major life change; you inspire me to get back on a healing cycle. Thank you so much! Thank you and Markus for all you do.🥰😍😊👍
Thank you Cara! Your videos teach me so much! The fridge alphabetized produce is the best! I love you're rose irrigation system! Your salads are my favorite and I'm learning what and how to soak foods, like lthe garbanzos yum. You are a goldmine and precious beautiful lady!
Cara, you are so inspirational, Going to give it a try, especially with soaking legumes and not cooking them! Had no idea I could do it with lentils too! That was music to my hears! Thanks Cara and Markus! Bless you!
Agreed
Yes!!! we've been waiting for this!!! :D very inspirational!
Wow, thank you so much for the recipes and the nutrition breakdown. Very interesting and helpful : )
Could watch these all day. So inspiring!! :)
I am so appreciative of you both. This video is awesome. The last two weeks I notice that I have more of an awareness of what I am eating.....I have referred to several of your videos to see what could be a replacement for some of my unhealthy favorites. Keep these videos coming, the commitment you have is definitely rubbing off and I am so happy! I work with 62 and older adults and many have walkers and such limited mobility. I hope to change with your help so to avoid this limitation. Looking forward to making a better life for myself and inspire others through you both 🥰....I bought Caras book.....going to find it now and try something new today....Lots of love to you!
Which book did you buy?
@@susanferguson4271 I bought Love on a plate , the uncookbook by Cara and Markus
This is perfect, I've been meaning to look up a healthy salad dressing recipe! Thank you! 🙌
Thanks both of you for sharing!❤️
I would love a kitchen tour of everything that’s on the counter, pantry, fridge
Thank you for doing and sharing this video. Great ideas for healthy, nutrient densed meals. I didn't know the beans can be eaten like that. You both are very well nourished. 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you so much, Cara. Just letting you know that I've been learning so much from you, that my entire food is different and yes, I did adopt raw lentils on my salad. They are weird at the beginning, then I started growing my taste for them.
Wow, thank you Cara and Markus for this amazing lovely and inspirational video! Your kitchen is so beautiful! Blessings
Thank you for sharing that video; you are such an inspiration; hope to see more of those; Thanks again and greetings from south Germany ;-)
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Thank you guys for educating us on more time!! Cara I love the salad and the dessert so 😋 You guys got me into the intermitente fasting and I love the magical results = more energy and mental clarity!! I started my fasting until 10 am then 12 and now I am at 1:00 pm every single my goal is to eat one meal a day as well. Thank you for all your love to us 😘😘🙏💪🏼👏🏼
You guys are changing lives. So glad people like you 2 decided to start a you tube channel at da end of april i was 268 im 239 now and ready to shred some more
I love the videos that you both do and I learn something new each time I watch them even if I have seen a video in the list and I am watching it again. Thank you! ❤
I agree on the lemon getting rid of the cashew sweet flavor! I started using soaked sunflower seeds instead of cashews for the same reason. We wash then freeze the ginger root whole, for grating anytime vs it getting lost in the vegetable drawer...
Good idea for ginger! I'll try that! Thanks for sharing :)
YES!! I freeze ginger too, recently heard this tip and love it.
We all love you guys!!! Cara you should do a makeup and face tutorial. Your an inspiration in many ways!!!!
Loved the video-the salad prep was phenomenal! ALL the flavors I love! I’m with you Cara-that right there EXCITES me-not boring for this woman😊👏
Yes!! Happiest sunday morning to wake up loooong waited video Cara! Thanks 🥰
This is what l have been eating for decades, l need just the seeds, nuts herbs plus some raw vegetables...awww...l add only herbal teas to my daily routines ( l live in Scotland so it's much cooler here ) rarely temp reach above 15C in the Summer. She's my twin sister across the ocean! Love to my beautiful Cara ❤️
Wow super! And in cold weather area!
Thank you Cara and Markus! Your videos remind me to eat like a Goddess!
Thank you dear Cara for taking the time and sharing your treasure delicious salad and desert.
Great video, Cara! Thanks a lot for sharing it.
Girl your arms look great! I’ve started toning too, something happened when I turned 60, my chicken arms look like they belong to someone else!
You’ve also inspired me to soak the lentils and wild rice I have on hand but are sitting unused in my cabinet. Love love love your videos.❤️
I just made this salad. OMG, it's a lot to eat. I could only eat maybe a third of it! Just wanted to say it was as delicious as it looks on camera, but whoa, I'll make a much smaller serving next time. Going to have the cookie dough as a second meal later. Just wanted to see if it was enough food and wow, it's way too much. LOL And you're right, you have a lot of energy from a salad like that. I could eat like this every day I think because you can change the taste a bit with different greens and legumes and raw dressings or even a little fresh fruit. I'm wild about raw food, but not so wild about salads until I made this one. It's great!
Wonderful!
That was so much fun to watch Cara craft her gorgeous delicious salad. Loved the video! Dont stop
Yess !!!! I nice long video of cara and what she eats !! I can sit for hours I literally watch every video of you and Markus for years!! Always makes me feel not alone. Ans thank you for always being inspirational with the mindset, lifestyle, health, weath
Thank you Csra my second teacher i love you guys bless you always.
Love Marcus and Cara, following advices, as I can, and it made me healthier every year! Thank you!! Cara, dear, could you share, please, your tips and tricks on what are you doing towards looking young (meaning facial procedures, facial care and everything what can prevent aging on the face) what products do you use and recommend?:)
YAY thank you Cara and Markus for this video!!!
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Love watching you make your salads…gotta make the walnut cookie dough cup at the end! Yummy 💕 Thanks Cara! My next order will be the monk sugar & those berry bites your son created :) 😘 oh and I need your cookbook... I do have a list. I wish I could take the greens & Vit C in water but I’m a wimp it goes into a smoothie with fruit & spinach. 🌱🌻 you’re a star have a beautiful week!
Exactly......... people ask me what I ate and I say a salad and the looks I get ..... I need to add some of your flavor things to mine . How long does all the cashew and water last ,as you wouldn't use that on one salad ? I need to do a video for all those that think I am starving cause I ate a salad lol !! We need to make a new word for the salads we eat. Its only 9am here i do IF as well , and this is making my mouth water !!!
I'm literally obsessed with this channel ! Your lifestyle is so inspiring ✨️ thank you so much for sharing what you eat 😋
😊
Awesome video! Thank you Cara & Markus ❤️❤️
Hi Cara, can you make a Video on what food can be soak and eating without cooking?
Yes please. 😊😊
@Jy Ks legumes , especially beans have antinutrients called lectins that can cause leaky gut ....even soaked for 24hours ,changing the water several times and we'll cooked there are still lectins in.....so eating them raw can't be healthy at all !
Oatmeal perhaps
I sprout quinoa all the time, and blend with water, and garkic/herbs, into a pizza crust. Super yummy :) Hth
@@anadominguez2614 I agree. Even though I really like a lot of what they do and it's very much like I eat, I don't eat legumes. Plus they are high in arginine which can trigger viruses, like herpes viruses, including shingles. I personally experienced it twice when I ate too many a few years ago. I stopped eating them again and likely for good.
I really enjoyed watching this video dear Cara... for me it does not sound a bit like boring, because I eat like this since some years now. Before I was eating raw vegetables and fruits, made my own recipes about gourmet vegan raw food. Now - some years ago, I started to eat even more close to nature: I collect my wild herbs every day and make a big salad from it - just like you do :-D
Cara and Marcus are absolutely fabulous! Thank you for sharing♥️
You're such an inspiration to me keep making these videos please! Love you!!!!
I was craving a burger but now I'm craving that salad 😄
are you sure? cuz the burger has lots of calories which your body needs to survive, while salads have almost no calories. What this guys eat is not human food.. i can't believe i tried this starvation diet a long ago
@@andreidiac6021 It's only starvation if you don't add enough fats or proteins -- I doctor mine with tahini or sunflower butter and vinegar/lemon juice as a dressing, plus you can add peas, hemp seeds, legumes like Cara does, any grains ~~ also cooked veggies if you like, no harm there. And eat enough! Actually if you eat a lot of fruit about 1 hour prior you will get enough calories, and it will all digest well.
@@purseypurslane yea, her salad very heavy woth the beans, rice, and fats. It looks great!
The hell with the salad im having a burger 🍔
@@andreidiac6021 Exactly
Amazing, thank you ♡
Cara is such a savvy, and so much experience, he could chop in her sleep!!! Chopping goals.♡
Better yet, how does Markus handle your garlic breath? Lol
What a great video!! Thanks Cara! Thanks Marcus!
Cara I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Just when I think there’s nothing more I can learn , you teach me something new ! Something I never thought of ! You are truly a blessing
This video meant the world to me .. I’m from Chicago 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love how the video starts with a quart of water bur Cara calls it "a glass of water". There's a lot to be learned about health here!
Love it!
Thank you so very much for making this video. I love the salad it was beautiful and so was your treat and so are you. Blessings of peace and love sent your way
Wow Cara! Looks so good!! I also loved that you showed us what you do in a day :) every time I do house work I always think of what you said in one of your videos “House work is a workout!” So excited to see more of your videos & learn from you!! 💜
Your amazing Cara 🤍 thank you so much for sharing how you make the most delicious looking salad I’ve ever seen , can’t wait to make one every day 🤍
Bless your hearts Cara and Marcus!!! Will try this for my husband who is a standard diet eater and very ill. . he always thought my raw food diet was bland and tasteless. . Maybe I can help heal him by ramping up all the flavors you include here. . . Many blessings. .. now I am hopeful as I don't want to lose him after 36 years together.
Who cooks his food? If it’s you maybe you could start by removing the oil (in case you use it) lowering the amount of salt and putting some lemon instead. Removing any kind of dairy, etc. and in the morning giving him fruits or a more palatable green juice on empty stomach.
Thank y’all for this awesome video. I love putting garlic in my salads or any other dish and admire how fast Cara is able to chop it!
Cara, you and your knowledge are never boring.. you are inspiring. Please know your true value & please keep putting out videos. :)
What a sweet precious lady to share your daily cuteness with everybody! 😘👋
Incredible so inspiring have made salad like this a fair amount it’s amazing!! Has Cara always been able to work all day with eating later in the eve or was it a transition long ago? Thanks guys :)
You are so inspiring Cara! Thank you for all you do!! You look amazing!😊💕
Thanks so much for sharing this! Such an inspiration!🌹♥️
thank you for sharing these amazing preparations of great recipes, Cara. And as an extra bonus, we get to look at your beauty. SO INSPIRING!
Can you have Cara do a video on how to wash produce/after grocery shopping routine, please?
Here's what I do: I use white vinegar and water solution, put the fruit or veggie in a bowl. Let it soak for 10 mins. You may want to use a veggie scrubber if it needs a good scrubbing like potatoes. Then I rinse thoroughly with water.
I didn’t see her wash, she just took it straight from the bag
I came here to ask about washing the greens. It seems like she didn’t wash hers.
But she washed the ginger, so I find it hard to believe she doesn’t wash the grit from the greens. 😂.
According to Markus: Cara washes all her purchases and bags them up in biodegradable plastics that her son found for her. Then places them in her refrigerator. ❤️
I absolutely love this video! So fresh and informative. Those epic salads are my favourite too.😁❤ love you guys!
So glad!
Cara, you are such an inspiration! I love to eat a huge salad everyday, and since I am naturally a slow eater, it takes me forever to finish it! By your example, I plan to eat a variety of greens in my salads, so thank you! I wish I could go as long as you without eating, but I am hungry by 11 am and sometimes earlier, but I try to wait until noon before I eat. I look forward to your next videos!
Growing your own herbs like mint is super easy and extremely cost effective.
27:52 Disclaimer: DO NOT try this at home, folks!
Lol Cara could chop veggies in her sleep.
I love everything you ate/made. You're the best chef Cara. Much 💖
Thank you Cara ! Such a fabulous salad . Love your videos 😘
I was scared too when she started chopping the garlic while reading from her laptop at the same time. I understand your concern Markus.
I was like YIKES FINGER SALAD! 😳
I have to try Cara's salad. It looks really filling because of the beans and lentils. Thank you for posting this one.
She's a pro
Plus, please close the gardening clippers in the future, Cara. ;-'
She’s a pro 💪🏽
I'm the exact opposite when it comes to fruits and veggies. I crave fruit more and it's like dessert, whereas I have to make eating greens a to-do item on my list or it'll never happen! Haha I wish I craved greens... but just finished a glorious fruit fast. Vibing high, regardless! 💖
I juice a lot of them just to be sure I get them in. Then make dressings from zucchini and eggplant. I love watching healthy eating videos!
Awesomeness and thank you both for sharing ❤️
Thankyou Cara for these amazing salad tips!! Wow I'm soaking my chickpeas and lentils from now own, I'll make raw hummus. Thankyou, I'm blown away at how good these raw crackers and seamoss cashew cheese taste, so grateful for you and your beautiful nourishing recipes.
These videos are my favorite! Also, I always wondered how Cara came to this way of eating. It would be great to hear about that.
Her mother made raw food growing up. She ate junk food briefly and didn't like how she felt or looked. She talks about it in a couple videos.
love love love this. i’m glad no fingers we’re harmed in the making of this video 😆 cara’s chopping terrifies me
Me too!!
Thank you - that was wonderful!
I just ordered your un-cook book. Can’t wait to make some of your recipes! ❤ Thank you Cara
Oh amazing!! I love the vid, thank you... I can see you love nature. Nice advice, eliminate those plastic bags touching your greens, they would love to be with a wet papel towel covering the roots and some herbs you can even put them in a glass with a bit of water (still inside the fridge) we do this in the restaurant industry and veggies and herbs stay super fresh and never get mushy from being in plastic bags... I hope you do it and see the huge difference. Lots of greetings
She owned a restaurant. I'm sure she knows that. Plus she goes through it so fast I doubt it has time to get shriveled
Those aren't plastic bags- they are made from soy
@@MarkusRothkranz Amazing!! I'll def read about those because they sound like a great alternative as well!! Thank ya!! 🥰🥰
The world needs to learn these ways as the food shortage from the said pandemic has killed farming and its recovery may be nil, to tossed off track again if they get their way with a second wave pandemic
I want to have a friend like Cara. I love you girl you have the most chill personality
I love that refrigerator, so organized and inspiring! These videos are so inspiring, thanks so much for sharing these videos and inviting us into your world!
Love on plate 👍❤️
I always have to look away when she cut the greens cause i'm scared that she's cutting herself. Am i the only one? 😅
Nice video btw!
You look amazing! You are a real incentive to helping women eat healthy foods. Thank you to you and your son for the video!
Love this! Thank you for being an inspiration!
She's a beast that's amazing how she just sucks that stuff down
Nice! You mentioned that legumes go bad easily when you soak them. How do you know if they’ve gone bad?
They smell funny and there is a gross film over them and they just don't look right. Try to keep soaking time to 8 hours.
I never let my soaked legumes go bad. There’s zero excuse not to just ferment them fully or sprout them after soaking.
@@kellybraun5013 That's too much work for me and too risky. I don't mess around with fermenting much anymore because in my experience, it goes bad too easily.
Cara I totally get it. I’m just not the kind of person to start a project and not finish it, especially if it results in any kind of food waste. I’ve never had a fermentation fail in 20 years of fermenting so I just stick to what works.
That was amazing. 😍 I am taking notes !
Great! I needed more ideas for a salad. Thank you. I 'm going to try the wild rice first!
