Great video and recipes. I always buy the following at the local supermarket/grocery store are: 1) All the vegetables i need. 2) Omega seed mix( contains sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseed and either hemp or sesame seeds. 3) Oatmeal. 4) Canned Tomatoes 5) Canned Beans 6) Rice 7) Pasta 8) Vegan Chocolate 10) Fresh Herbs 11) Stock cubes.
Never thought of putting cauliflower rice in tofu scramble, genius! I always have a plethora of nut butters ready to go, as well as frozen fruits and veggies and whole grains. Life is so easy when you're confident in the kitchen and have a stocked pantry. Less decision fatigue!
Lovely vid with some great things I'll be trying asap 😀. Another savoury use for apples that I have is for celeriac and apple soup, it's super easy and a lovely winter warming soup😋. It only uses a few ingredients aswell: 1oz margerine or oil 1 medium celeriac (peeled and chopped) 3 small dessert apples (peeled and chopped) 1 pint vegetable stock Good pinch of cayenne Salt +pepper Paprika (to garnish) Sauté apple and celeriac in margerine for a couple of minutes, add stock and cayenne pepper, bring to boil then lower temp and cover and simmer for 20 to 25 mins or until soft. Purée with blender. Season to taste and serve with a dusting of paprika. Makes 2 good sized servings.
In poland its very popular to make a salad like this - grated carrots (about 3) with a grated apple, teaspoon of sugar, a little lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and just a little bit of (vegan) yogurt/sour cream. shredded salads like this are very popular and many use apple in this way! another popular one is to do just as above, but add sauerkraut, and instead of the yogurt/sour cream use a bit of oil. :) i recommend this as another delicious way to use apples!
So many great ideas! There’s never a consecutive week where I buy the same ten things but 10 things I always have on hand are. Fresh or frozen bananas, various nut butters, oatmeal, snacking and baking chocolate, canned or frozen home cooked beans, assorted grains to cook, frozen veggies (I like the medleys) carrots, celery, lettuce, and potatoes.
Soy milk, apples and bananas are my "always buys." I also always have a few different milks in the fridge, right now it's oat, vanilla soy, and cashew! And I love to cut up apples in salads...especially with some candied nuts. I also add it to mock chik'n salad, using the Tofurky chicken, I always add either apples or grapes and it's so much like a deli salad, really good!
I have a great tip for cutting down on the acidity of tomato soups / sauces: Baking powder! You have to use much less, don't have to worry about getting a super sweet soup / sauce, cut down on sugar and - at least where I live - it's much more cost effective. I just add it when the recipe calls for any sort of sweetener. (The reason why that works is because baking powder has a high pH-level, it's basically a base (lol), so you neutralise the acid!)
@@marcya4428 Well, it really doesn't make a huge difference. Baking soda is NaHCO3 / Na2CO3, baking powder just contains that plus Na2HPO4, there is no more additives and nothing to worry about, so it's up to you. Where I come from, all I get is powder, that's why I recommended that😀.
@@marcya4428 Oh, sure, sorry, my bad, people just tend to see a harm in everything when there's really nothing to be worried about, so I'm probably very biased having to hear that every day😆.
Nikki, thank you for another great video. I always enjoy your no fuss, simple approach, yet there's so much goodness and flavour in everything you make and recommend.
Oooh I love the cauliflower in tofu scramble idea!!! I chop apples for a salad to get a sweet and savory combo (with chopped romaine it’s a lot of nice crunch), and I snack on semisweet chocolate chips instead of chocolate bars.
Love this! I have to try the maple syrup in my tomato sauces and sautéing the apples sounds delicious, haven’t done that in awhile. ❤️ thanks for all the great tips.
Wow. This is so informative, Nicole. I love this kind of video. Thank you for including recipe ideas too! You really need to have your own cooking show because everything you make looks a-mazing! 😋 I always by some type of greens, cucumbers, radish (ok, you convinced me☺), carrots, avocados, blueberries (fresh in season, frozen out of season), lemons, lentils, tofu (I wish I liked tempeh 😭), sweet potatoes, soy and almond milk, tortillas, and nut butters. 😃😍
I found that if I eat too much soy I get a stomachache 😞 so I usually try to just eat it once a day, usually in the form of tofu. I would love to have that extra protein tho!
I'm "ahimsa" vegan which means I only drink milk from cows who are taken care of for life and the majority of the milk goes to the calf. That means I don't buy any milk products from the store, so I'm mostly vegan most of the time. I've found your videos to be fantastic Nikki, thanks so much 😍😍😍😍💯🙏
I always have oatmeal on hand also. When I bake I put oats in the food processor to make oat flour and it saves me from buying oat flour separately. It’s a money saver.
Those date truffles😍 they could be filled with anything you love. Maybe Tahini and covered in vegan white chocolate and topped with ground nuts😮 one of the first things I eat to start the day is a Date with a cocoa bean. Super healthy
I love adding salsa to cooked quinoa. From there it’s a delicious side dish to tacos or I throw it in a burrito with black beans, sweet potato and other veggies. I did it the other day and my wife said, “Whoa! This is really f*cking good!”
My daughter loves apples so it is something I buy all the time. I'm going to make them the way that you did, that looks so good & pumpkin hummus oh yes. I always buy soy milk and almond milk bc my kids don't like the same plant milks. I usually do by tofu all the time but I got tofu out. I've been buying tempeh. I always buy chickpeas, black beans and kidney beans. I always keep them in the pantry. Thanks for all that great tips Nikki.
Also Chipotle’s pico de gallo is so fresh I always get a couple sides of it with my order whenever I go since I add it to other recipes just like you recommend to add salsa to recipes! ❤️
You continuously create such thorough & informative content!! I have said it once & I shall say it again, I am so surprised you don't have more subscribers!!! Sending love always
Loved this Nikki! I'm definitely going to add the cauliflower rice to my tofu scramble!! I can't locate your apple muffin recipe that you mentioned with the grated apples?? Thank you for this informative video❤❤
Nikki, your videos never disappoint! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas. Have you tried vegetarian oyster sauce made from mushroom extract? Not sure if it's vegan but it will expand your asian cooking repertoire.
Halloween movie snacks!? oof i can't wait for that video! for Halloween, I plan on making a bunch of treats and having a movie day with my sisters, so this is perfect!
Hi Nikki I always buy apples as well! I love gala apples have them as is or dipped in almond butter. Also like dried apples too. Do you think you could do a pita pit recipe in a vid?
I buy most of these except canned food as my daughter is allergic to the substance used in the linings of cans. I wish more products came in the boxes.
Great video thank you! In the link for your baked ziti, you list which mozzarella you use in parentheses. But the link in that parentheses not working. Thanks so much!

So many tips! Thank you 😊 Also, Bowser is from the Mario games series (Mario Kart, etc) 😁 My son almost had a heart attack when he heard you say you thought it was from Minecraft😁 (It's OK I don't know hardly anything from gaming either. Or current music...or Tik Tok...or Netflix (except Gilmore Girls and This is Us)...or you get the point. I'd rather read! 😁 Anyway, I can't wait to try the apple pie filling hack ! Loved this video! 😍 P.S. have you ever watched This is Us? It's a fantastic show!
Your recipes always look so delicious! I am a new vegan and I am struggling with what to cook. Did you struggle with meal ideas when you first went vegan?
Hey! Congrats on going vegan! How long has it been so far? Honestly watching a What I Eat in a Day Videos (I have a ton on this channel) helped me a lot because it really helped me see how many options there are and it got me excited to make vegan meals. Highly recommend watching those for ideas. Also I didn’t go vegan overnight, so I just focused on making simple swaps and finding products/ meals I loved. It helped to make the transition into plant based eating really enjoyable and I think that’s part of what made it “stick” I’ve been vegan for 5 + years now 🙌🙌
@@NikkiVegan wow how awesome five years! Well I attempted to go vegan a few years ago and had a hard time finding meal ideas and staying full. I can’t have soy or gluten so it’s a little challenging. I started transitioning again after watching a bunch of episodes of the vegan view! and tons of documentaries. And I’ve been subscribed to you for awhile. I haven’t had any cows milk in like seven years or longer. But I would say I’ve been officially vegan for about a week now. I’m really having a hard time knowing what to make because I have some restrictions. I live in a small town that doesn’t have a lot of options but with all I know and have seen, I can’t go back.
Woooow thank you Nikki !!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooooooo much!!!!!!!! This video was packed full of so many recipes, tips and foods to buy when shopping, we are so fortunate to have you!!!!!! We are trying to build up our spices from around the world, but as we all know spices are expensive so one thing we're doing is just buying one or two each week and we're slowly getting there........at the same time I'm trying to learn how to use them, lol!!!!! Have you ever done a what spices to buy video? Hmmmmmm I'll check!!!!! I know this is kinda extra but I'm also trying to learn how to use vegan wine and alcohol in our cooking, I know you use white wine in some of your recipes and I'm always really watching and learning🧑🏻🍳and I love tomato paste a great tamari, and miso to add depth of flavor. A difficulty is finding...I'll probably spell it wrong, but I think it's kefir lime leaves and lemon grass that is fresh or even dried in some way, I have found them on amazon, but ???? I know I'm having a little explosion of food thought ........ it's just that you inspire me so so much and then I just get so excited. You did such an awesome job with this packed full of knowledge of 11 things that you buy every time you shop, you really rock guuurl !!!!! Keep staying safe everyone and vote Biden/Harris knowing our our democracy and our lives and the life of our precious Earth depend on it... because they do, straight out. Let's make sure we get out and vote and help those that are having challenges voting due to the widespread voter suppression or other reasons, if you haven't already. WE can do this, we can vote Trump and his corrupt administration and cronies out and have an amazing, decent, kind and empathetic, very intelligent, competent( yes even though there has been all kinds of absolutely incorrect misinformation through known Russian interference, to name one faction stating that he's incompetent as well as trumps bs about him) see BIDENS last town hall, he is very competent and he is tough, diplomatic and experienced Presidential President that surrounds himself with experts in all fields needed and actually listens to them, true scientist that won't feel the pressure of swaying and suppressing the truth and endangering ALL beings lives and BIDEN is respected throughout the world to the best of his abilities and has allies and will do his best to reinstitute what trump and his administration, Cronies and dictators and thugs have been breaking down and manipulating our democracy, killing our soldiers and countless other sometimes unrepairable situations, BIDEN/ HARRIS won't weaken and destroy and antagonize and who knows how deep Trump is indebted to and is clearly a VERY HUGE NATIONAL AND WORLD SECURITY RISK..... BIDEN will try to and I think will be successful at building back our badly damaged standing in the world and BIDEN is already doing his best to de escalate the horrifying divide that trump has been, from the get go, blatantly emboldening with white supremacy, kidnapping attempts, racial and political divide, economically and has blood on his hands for so many lives here and across the world with his, I don't even have a strong enough word for it, EXTREME, not only through politicizing encouraging NOT wearing masks, NOT social distancing and encouraging and expecting people to be shoulder to shoulder shouting praise and probable coronavirus in his deadly super spreader twilight zone, Jim Jones koolaid drinking frenzied oh great leader scary cult rallies and similar but more "dignified" White House super spreaders with no contact tracing and accountability, Christi was never called and ended up in ICU for 7 days and he sure has a tale to tell and regret about the obvious. Countless officials, Generals and the list goes on and on, are distancing themselves and some out and out denouncing trump at this point and many, many have been for a long time....I could go on.... obviously, I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir here on Nikkis channel, BIDEN/ Harris have the most progressive plan yet ever to actually put on the table from a presidential candidate for the environment, our precious Earth and ALL beings here and throughout the world, they know climate change is real and have doable plans to change and recreate the way in which we do things.... it's so involved, go on their website, see the last BIDEN'S town hall, they have so many other healing, thoughtful, intelligent, desperately needed plans to help us heal and get the absolutely imperative help that is needed for us ALL now and with our future and in so doing our precious Earth and to top it off a younger Very powerful and experienced intelligent heartfelt compatible Vise President running mate!!!! WE can do this everyone, firstly by voting BIDEN/HARRIS and helping and encouraging others to understand and VOTE we cannot be complacent, VOTE LIKE ALL OF OUR LIVES AND THE LIFE OF OUR PLANET DEPENDS ON IT.....BECAUSE IT DOES. THANK YOU NIKKI, IM SORRY IF YOU FEEL I HIJACKED YOUR CHANNEL COMMENTS SECTION, BUT I FEEL THAT YOU UNDERSTAND, I KNOW YOU KEEP YOUR CHANNEL "POSITIVE" AND I APPRECIATE THAT SO SO MUCH, THIS IS DIFFERENT.....DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE MEASURES. I DON'T REALLY KNOW YOU, BUT AS MANY OF US, I FEEL ALMOST LIKE I DO AND YOU ARE AN AWESOME WOMAN AND ARE DOING SUCH GREAT ACTIVISM THROUGH YOUR CHANNEL AND THROUGH YOU AND THE OTHER LADIES SND GUESTS THAT YOU HAVE ON VEGAN VIEW. THROUGH HELPING MANY MANY PEOPLE MAKE MORE CONSCIOUS AND CRUELTY FREE AND YET ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS VEGAN GOURMET FOOD AND SOME LIFESTYLE AND VERY REAL HELPFUL WORDS OF WISDOM ALONG THE WAY. YOU HAVE GROWN AND I HAVE GROWN RIGHT ALONG WITH YOU FOR QUITE A FEW YEARS NOW, I AM SO BLOWN AWAY BY HOW YOU DEFINITELY SEEM TO HAVE FOUND YOUR EVER EVOLVING TRUE LIFES PURPOSE, CHEERS TO YOU NIKKI AND FOR ALL THAT YOU DO FOR ALL BEINGS, ALL LIFE AND THEREFORE THE EARTH AND FOR ALWAYS "LEVELING UP" WHAT YOU EXPRESS WITHIN YOUR HEART OF HEARTS. WHAT A TRULY AWESOME EXAMPLE👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 THANK YOU 💞Kathy
Please do! It’s honestly so delicious! Hope you enjoy! I cut the apples, sauté with a little splash of water or some coconut oil. Then add cinnamon, a squeeze of orange or lemon (optional but YUM) and sometimes some maple and/a few drops of vanilla. There’s so many ways you can do it and they’re all delicious! Hope you enjoy!
Love your channel, Nikki! I thought that perhaps you could put these sautéed apples on top of a piece of grilled cheddar cheese to mimic that cheddar cheese/apple combo. ☺️
Nikki! Can you send me your address? I’m sending you every single Mario kart, party, and donkey Kong game THIS SECOND!! Love your videos, keep up the good work!

When are you going to write a cookbook? You’re so creative and inventive and your recipes are amazing ❤️
That apple, vegetable, and vegan sausage dish with savory seasoning looks sooo good! I cant wait to try that! Thanks Nicole.
Try sautéing apples and onions with sauerkraut! It’s how my family makes it and it’s amazing with any veganized polish dish ❤️
Wow that soy milk tip actually blew my mind!! I have a hard time when i do flax eggs it makes baked goods way too dense.
Lovely vid with some great things I'll be trying asap 😀. Another savoury use for apples that I have is for celeriac and apple soup, it's super easy and a lovely winter warming soup😋. It only uses a few ingredients aswell:
1oz margerine or oil
1 medium celeriac (peeled and chopped)
3 small dessert apples (peeled and chopped)
1 pint vegetable stock
Good pinch of cayenne
Salt +pepper
Paprika (to garnish)
Sauté apple and celeriac in margerine for a couple of minutes, add stock and cayenne pepper, bring to boil then lower temp and cover and simmer for 20 to 25 mins or until soft. Purée with blender. Season to taste and serve with a dusting of paprika. Makes 2 good sized servings.

We love oat, almond and soy milk! Beans are always a must buy too!
Ohh! I love the dates/PB/chocolate snack! I haven't made them in a while, but if you use crunchy PB it totally tastes like a snickers bar! 😋💕
I did the same but I added salted peanuts and cashews... OMG it was awesome
That basil hummus sauce is for sure happening! Thank you so much for the effort that you put into your channel. I love your content!
So many great ideas! There’s never a consecutive week where I buy the same ten things but 10 things I always have on hand are.

Idk why more people don’t buy soy milk! It’s the best! The protein alone is reason enough to buy it!
I found that if I eat too much soy I get a stomachache 😞 so I usually try to just eat it once a day, usually in the form of tofu. I would love to have that extra protein tho!
The taste is eh.
Thyroid issues and soy is a NO!
@@ok-tz3gi I could care less about that. Lol
@@MrTmenzo I think it taste pretty good. The texture is nice.
I'm "ahimsa" vegan which means I only drink milk from cows who are taken care of for life and the majority of the milk goes to the calf.
That means I don't buy any milk products from the store, so I'm mostly vegan most of the time.
I've found your videos to be fantastic Nikki, thanks so much 😍😍😍😍💯🙏
Those date treats look amazing!
I always have oatmeal on hand also. When I bake I put oats in the food processor to make oat flour and it saves me from buying oat flour separately. It’s a money saver.
I never knew how versatile oatmeal can be. Thank you so much for sharing your tips!!
Those date truffles😍 they could be filled with anything you love. Maybe Tahini and covered in vegan white chocolate and topped with ground nuts😮 one of the first things I eat to start the day is a Date with a cocoa bean. Super healthy
i love how you made a comparison of herbs and jewelry!!
I love adding salsa to cooked quinoa. From there it’s a delicious side dish to tacos or I throw it in a burrito with black beans, sweet potato and other veggies. I did it the other day and my wife said, “Whoa! This is really f*cking good!”
I add riced cauliflower or spiral zucchini to my morning oatmeal. I barely notice it and get more veggies.
I love Divine chocolate! It's a little pricey, but it's women owned, organic, fair trade and vegan! 💞
You are my favorite realistic vegan!
My daughter loves apples so it is something I buy all the time. I'm going to make them the way that you did, that looks so good & pumpkin hummus oh yes.

What great ideas! I’m trying to get better at using fresh herbs more, especially parsley! I just always forget about that herb in my fridge
This definitely inspire me to add some of the food your mentioned into my grocery list! Thanks Nikki.
Oooo I am totally doing the date snacks!
Also I LOLd at the Bowser comment
Oh they would never last in my fridge! Lol! Can't wait to try a few of your ideas, especially the apple one!
thank you for these tips! i love hearing your thoughts on vegan cooking because you are so knowledgeable.

Never thought of mixing cauliflower into Tofu... That's genius!

WE can do this, we can vote Trump and his corrupt administration and cronies out and have an amazing, decent, kind and empathetic, very intelligent, competent( yes even though there has been all kinds of absolutely incorrect misinformation through known Russian interference, to name one faction stating that he's incompetent as well as trumps bs about him) see BIDENS last town hall, he is very competent and he is tough, diplomatic and experienced Presidential President that surrounds himself with experts in all fields needed and actually listens to them, true scientist that won't feel the pressure of swaying and suppressing the truth and endangering ALL beings lives and BIDEN is respected throughout the world to the best of his abilities and has allies and will do his best to reinstitute what trump and his administration, Cronies and dictators and thugs have been breaking down and manipulating our democracy, killing our soldiers and countless other sometimes unrepairable situations, BIDEN/ HARRIS won't weaken and destroy and antagonize and who knows how deep Trump is indebted to and is clearly a VERY HUGE NATIONAL AND WORLD SECURITY RISK..... BIDEN will try to and I think will be successful at building back our badly damaged standing in the world and BIDEN is already doing his best to de escalate the horrifying divide that trump has been, from the get go, blatantly emboldening with white supremacy, kidnapping attempts, racial and political divide, economically and has blood on his hands for so many lives here and across the world with his, I don't even have a strong enough word for it, EXTREME, not only through politicizing encouraging NOT wearing masks, NOT social distancing and encouraging and expecting people to be shoulder to shoulder shouting praise and probable coronavirus in his deadly super spreader twilight zone, Jim Jones koolaid drinking frenzied oh great leader scary cult rallies and similar but more "dignified" White House super spreaders with no contact tracing and accountability, Christi was never called and ended up in ICU for 7 days and he sure has a tale to tell and regret about the obvious. Countless officials, Generals and the list goes on and on, are distancing themselves and some out and out denouncing trump at this point and many, many have been for a long time....I could go on.... obviously, I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir here on Nikkis channel, BIDEN/ Harris have the most progressive plan yet ever to actually put on the table from a presidential candidate for the environment, our precious Earth and ALL beings here and throughout the world, they know climate change is real and have doable plans to change and recreate the way in which we do things.... it's so involved, go on their website, see the last BIDEN'S town hall, they have so many other healing, thoughtful, intelligent, desperately needed plans to help us heal and get the absolutely imperative help that is needed for us ALL now and with our future and in so doing our precious Earth and to top it off a younger Very powerful and experienced intelligent heartfelt compatible Vise President running mate!!!! WE can do this everyone, firstly by voting BIDEN/HARRIS and helping and encouraging others to understand and VOTE we cannot be complacent, VOTE LIKE ALL OF OUR LIVES AND THE LIFE OF OUR PLANET DEPENDS ON IT.....BECAUSE IT DOES.

Do you have a cookbook?
I love cooking apple with sweet potato and purple cabbage, but find that they do NOT go well with onion or garlic 😝
That makes sense! I think alliums are hard on a lot of people! Do garlic powder/onion powder effect you in the same way?
Oh I just meant flavor wise!@@NikkiVegan
mmmm I'm definitely sautéeing apples now
Please do! It’s honestly so delicious! Hope you enjoy! I cut the apples, sauté with a little splash of water or some coconut oil. Then add cinnamon, a squeeze of orange or lemon (optional but YUM) and sometimes some maple and/a few drops of vanilla. There’s so many ways you can do it and they’re all delicious! Hope you enjoy!
@@NikkiVegan I like mine similarly but also witth pecans and coconut cream. So yummy like a healthy apple pie
Love Tony's
Love your channel, Nikki! I thought that perhaps you could put these sautéed apples on top of a piece of grilled cheddar cheese to mimic that cheddar cheese/apple combo. ☺️
I like cashew milk
Penultimate 😍😍
