Kinda want to see you do the cooking of said foods now. I think the way you guys eat is quite unique, and I think many of us would love to see how it's made and if it takes long or not.
Yes please more videos about food! Also would love some recipes, I’m also a vegan but I don’t eat that good (lots of processed and sugar…). Would love to crave broccoli and snack on berries!
Great video I don't eat tofu, as I'm allergic, but very similar to you, love huge crunchy salad with a cup of pasta with dijon mustard., lentils are great any colour and love jasmine green tea, also do cereley and apple juice, and beetroot and apple ginger juice.
Vegan of 10 years here - we eat in a very similar way! Your congee recipe is one of the staples in our household so please keep them coming! Btw, I don't think you have to be too worried about the sugar in the hot sauce, especially since your meals seem to be extremely high in fibre which is known to prevent glucose spikes. Most dieticians recommend the 80/20 rule where 80% of your diet is whole foods and 20% is relaxed/treat-y. So there is definitely lots of space for sugary hot sauce in a healthy, balanced diet. However, my personal favourite replacement for sriracha is homemade chilli oil - just half a teaspoon mixed into a salad dressing will make anything delicious 🤤
i don't eat as healthily as you but i was shocked by how my taste buds have changed through the years..... who knew i would be craving roasted brocolli with lemon, roasted curry cauliflower, kale chips, sauteed spinach with garlic.. drooollll You should definitely do more food videos jenny! it was your food and minimalism videos that first caught my attention!
The roasted broccoli with lemon. It's just Best food in the world. That's the thing I would choose if I had to eat just one thing for the rest of my life
@@indy2316 I've actually gotten my blood work done, not so long ago (new job, part of the health check), and iron is good 😊 I just happen to love broccoli 🥦🥦🥦 But thank you for suggesting, could've been that😊
I've been told by a friend who is a food scientist that eating sugar in small amounts (like in hot sauce) is absolutely fine if paired with other foods that are rich in fibre, like veggies and noodles. It won't spike your blood sugar. I would't worry so much about the tiny amount of sugar in hot sauce or other condiments personally.
I understand what you are saying. At the same time me too in my case I became sugar aware and very precise about it, as its also a big influence on the taste. With graving for bitter tastes or being used to eat very high-quality-veggies I don t like the taste of sugared things as much as before and I feel also too big amounts in processed foods or sauces. For example I prefer the Aceton Balsamico which is not suggared much more and find it more quality tasting and yummy. My taste-receptors changed a lot and as sugar comes everywhere (also in fruits and via digesting corn and bred etc.) I avoid industrial sugar or even organic ones ( "Agave, Raw sugar-also not healthy" ) it where I can. If I want sweet, i prefer eating a proper piece of cake or a chocolate.
Fermented tofu or 腐乳 comes from my hometown Kaiping in Guangdong. I go back every few years and haul BOXES of the original stuff back to Hong Kong every time. I’m so glad you love this condiment too, all the way in London by a Swedish girl! If you have a chance, look for the bottle that says 廣合腐乳 in red and white labelled glass jars. That brand is my favourite!
I’ve been Whole Foods plant based for about six years now. Your tastes really do change! I CRAVE cauliflower ALL the time. Fresh, whole, and simple is such a good and easy way to live. There are plenty of times I eat the same dinner several nights in a row but I never feel limited! I just recently started putting roasted potatoes on my kale salads and it’s a game changer! Something really delicious to dip veggies in is white beans puréed with a little veggie broth. You can season it a lot of different ways depending on what spices you mix it. We found a vegan ranch seasoning powder that tastes incredible mixed in!
I just came off a video of yet another one of my favourite UA-camrs announcing they're no longer vegan... and yours popped up next - I never clicked so fast! All that is to say - yes, please keep up the food vids! We appreciate you
I'm also Team Sencha. My husband and I also eat Whole Food Plant Based. We have the same routines of meals every day! Oatmeal with fresh fruit and cacaopowder flaxseed for breakfast, lentils-curry with cruciferous veggies, sprouted mungbeans, ACV, soy chunks, nuts and seeds and raw cabbage, and dinner will be a starchy veg and/or a whole grain cooked / beans/lentils, with tofu, some nuts, and lots of vegetables, and for desert soy yoghurt with fresh fruit and wheat-germ, with some almonds or walnuts. We use a lot of condiments, and we make Indonesian, Surinam, Indian, South-American and South-European dishes, and it's NEVER boring.
I can eat a whole block of raw tofu with some seasonings, easily. Haven't done that in a while as tofu has gotten pricy and I prefer warm foods in winter (aka bean stews❤) but this reminded me of how much I love tofu.
I used to do this also until I found myself going #2 four or five times a day. My doctor tested me and found I was eating WAY too much tofu. I cut it out and became normal again, Now I can eat a little at a time. Just thought I'd share my experience. I've been a vegetarian (I eat eggs) for over 50 years.
I've been following you forever! I found you when I started going vegan, 2011. I loved all your food styling and regret not getting your cookbook. Thank you for all your help and inspiration on keeping me on the straight and narrow. I love this eating style and so happy to see all your food content. BTW I make my own sriracha, worth the effort. I am forever in your debt, thanks!
I loved this video Jenny! I was vegan for 6 and a half years and then went back to being vegetarian when I went into eating disorder recovery. I really love the flexibility and convenience I have being vegetarian (eating out, eating with friends, etc) so that's been great. But this winter I've been working so so much and not made the healthiest choices with food and I can feel it in my body and energy levels. I've been wanting to get back to some gentle nutrition with healthy eating and you have just inspired me to eat more spinach and beans! I really love the way you talk about food and lifestyle, so peaceful and balanced. Thanks for your great videos, as always and I would LOVE to see some more food videos!
I can relate, I was vegan for 5 years and also went vegetarian for eating disorder recovery. Right now, I'm back to eating plant based with the exception of plain Greek yogurt to boost my protein intake and get some probiotics. I do feel conflicted about the yogurt from an ethics perspective, so I'm not sure where I'll go with this in the future. Wishing you all the best and hope you can feel happy and free and free around food🌞
I eat very similar the way you do: mainly raw and definitely whole food plant-based. (Except the alcohol, I don't drink at all.) Eating this way satisfies and energizes me enough. I am really picky, my plate has to look colorful every time (at least 5 different colors) :D It's not just delicious but it cured all my health problems I had before (12 years ago. That's when I turned vegan overnight after watching Earthlings.) Love your videos (and you two) :)
I would love to see any and all food content you feel like making!!! Specific recipes for your congee and soup broth included, even if something is very simple it can reflect years of experimentation. I'm transitioning to a more plant-based diet, but struggle with balancing the necessity of deliciousness/variety with an aversion towards complex recipes and spending a lot of time preparing food. I also find it very relaxing and inspiring to watch content about healthy, beautiful, ethical, tasty food, even if I don't necessarily learn anything new from it.
Jenny, I really must say, I discovered you around 2 weeks ago, and I could not be happier. I am 23 and in a transition period of my life into a more calm adult life full of abundance and consciousness of my needs and wants and taking responsibility for my choices. You made me fall in love again with the diet I also chose 6,5 years ago. With all the new vegan options arising, my diet contained a lot of processed foods lately. I am looking forward to being inspired by you and learning from your perspective of life in the future. Thank you for your content! ✨️
I’ve been plant based seven years now! Vegetarian since I was 17( 51 now) women’s bodies go through so many changes at my age. The weight gain is no joke! So really trying hard to give up my sugar cravings. I look forward to my big salad every day for lunch:)
Really appreciate these food type videos. I have dropped of my clean eating train for a while and my body is hurting from it. These actually make me want to eat cleaner again.
I never really ate salads during the winter months, but this year I've been having a salad at least 4-6 times a werk and I feel SO much better. I still eat meat but not a whole lot, I prefer my veggies! I also reduced my sugar intake by about 75% and I feel great!!!
am in my eight year of living on my own and creating proper eating habits is the most difficult challenge, haven't figured out how to hack my neuro wiring beneficially. watching J&D's videos for years and they are satisfying, aesthetically pleasing and a tru awe-maze. may i find the self-love to come through for my self like this! i will try out a congə this week.
Thank you! This video is so inspiring. Please make more food videos. I am currently transitioning my family to a whole food plant based diet and I find it challenging to get excited for the meals and recipes I find. However, your videos and food are photographed so beautifully everything looks delicious and I cannot wait to make a healthy meal! Thank you!!!
I've always LOVED broccoli, mushrooms, sauerkraut, olives, soysauce, red bell bepper, cucumber, tomatoes, kale, all berries, walnuts, pistachios, onions, garlic, watermelon, grapes, clementines, cherries, gooseberries.. 🫒🍄🟫🫐🍊🍇🍒🥦🍉 For most of my life though I've been depressed for a bunch of reasons 😔, and have had insomnia and anxiety. This just makes you apathetic, tired, and you crave all the wrong stuff. So I haven't really eaten the way I'd like. 😮💨 But you are so right about the fact that when you eat fast food and processed food you never feel satisfied. Even when you overeat to the point of nausea there is still an empty feeling afterwards.
Most important ingredient for me: High quality organic olive oil directly from the Middle East. 😊 And we also eat a lot of raw vegetables plus pulses, fresh fruits etc. Whatever is in season. We buy our organic fruits and vegetables directly from an organic farm. Many years ago I saw in a restaurant in Syria that they arranged crude vegetables like a flower bouquet on every table. 🤍 Also we love low processed whole grains. And I drink plenty of tea too - without the tea. 😅 My favourite is Arabic mint with hot water. And in the winter fresh sage with hot water plus a piece of sliced orange and for a non-vegan some high quality organic honey. 😋
Glad to see this video, I’ve always loved your food content and noticed you’d taken all of the food related videos down. I find them very inspiring and relaxing ❤
funny that my cravings now are things like brocoli, black beans and grilled portobello mushrooms, before going plant based it would be chocolate and crisps.
We’re always up for Jenny Mustard food videos! However, this video is all about keeping things simple, and there are only so many ways we can wax romantic about congee and dark, leafy greens. Ultimately, make whatever content you like! I first came for the food and minimalism videos, but I stayed for the top-notch vibes 🥂
Honestly the way you eat sounds heavenly to me 💚 I do have to eat out a lot because of my job, but eveytime I come back home all I want to do is cook a noodle soup filled with greens, oh and I do love some homemade guacamole! Thnaks for sharing this, it was very inspiring and also made me really hungry :)
I need to finally try the congee! As someone who wants to eat less processed foods, your way of eating inspires me to eat better. Thank you for sharing this 🤍
i’ve been way too depressed to cook a lot or eat healthily during the last year but at the moment i’m starting to enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes again! i have been noticing how much better i feel just from that, which makes me want to cook even more haha. and you’re right, beluga lentils are so good!! i’ve been randomly craving them and spinach ever since i was a child every now and then, my parents were often amused bc my brother wanted to eat sweets instead, most of the time.
Inspired to make changes towards yours vegan suggestions!Thanks for the “tasty” language of yours and by the way, I love sun-dried tomato avocado pairing ; )
There are so many options with a whole food plant-based diet. I like to keep it simple during the week and maybe make some thing A little more time consuming on the weekend. I usually go for Raw salads etc. during the day and then a soup or stirfry in the evening. I often make a Mexican inspired bowl with sweet potatoes or rice and beans with lots of toppings and sauces. Agree that berries are wonderful.Usually a snack for me is a shake made from plant milk beans and cocoa powder and a date for sweetness. Love your videos
I live in the south of France with my chef boyfriend and we do 90% of our food shop in the local twice-weekly market. The stands are mainly held by the people who actually grow the food and it is mostly organic and always local and seasonal - the three most important factors of my diet. I love this way of eating and couldn't be happier with it. Recommend recommend ;)
Loved the video and just ordered some Ritual vitamins for my daughter and I. Would love to know all the ingredients you add in those salads - actually it would be amazing to see a video of you and David cooking your dinner together! ❤️
Yes I would love to see more food videos and how certain vegetables are cooked. You mentioned sautéing broccoli is steaming not as good? Also would love to see how u make the congee and what brands of condiments you like. 🙏🏼
Thank you for this! I think everyone, whether they follow a vegan diet or not, should aim to increase the proportion and volume of fresh veggies in their diet - most of us don’t get anywhere near enough! I try, and get there about 70% of the time 😄 Also berries 😍 ps I can’t handle any spice, but Frank’s hot sauce doesn’t have sugar and everyone I know loves it for its flavour.
The one ingredient that I consistently eat pretty much every day for honestly all my life is oats. (the bigger ones, not the ones that turn to mush super quickly. Every morning I look forward to combining oats with usually a bit of protein powder, cocoa powder and milled linseeds and I never get bored of it. Love it as a snack in between as well and whenever my stomach feels kinda off, some oats with a little honey and warm water usually does the trick.
I made congee for the first time after seeing it on your channel. My favorite topping is oyster mushroom “bulgogi” which is just sautéed mushrooms with some bulgogi sauce and chili oil. So good!
I just had to change to a vegan diet due to having two mild heart attacks. Struggling with the new eating. Nothing seems to have flavor. I wish I loved it as much as you do!
Your food aesthetic is the absolute best. Whole food plantbased is the best way to eat. My husband and I have been vegan for over ten years and we also prefer to eat our own food. Resturant food is usally very disappointing or too processed for us. Also genmaicha is the best green tea in my opinion. Also I need to try out congee. It looks so good. Thanks for the amazing content.
I had to stop the video at 3.53 we just had brown rice and lentil congee for dinner last night and i had it for breakfast just now...... so delicious - it is all about the toppings for me.... I put dried shiitake mushrooms in mine whilst cooking... so good for your stomach - satvic food!!!
I'd love to change coffee for green tea, but my stomach is quick to say "f no!". I am one of those who get a stomach ache from green tea... unfortunately. I am also very prone to gastritis if I am not very careful about my diet, so that might also have something to do with it. Weirdly 1-2 cups of coffee has no effect if I drink it after food (NEVER on an empty stomach!).
I absolutely love the way you describe healthy and delicious foods all in the same breath. It's wonderful! We eat like this about 75% of the time and the rest it's a big pan of nachos haha. Mostly plant based though and we cook 3 meals a day at home and eat them seated at the table. We only eat out on Saturday for lunch. So I can relate! Me and my husband both are ABSOLUTELY breakfast people though. I find a small breakfast of around 200 calories is perfect for 7 am to get me through the busy morning at work or being active.
If you can find yuzu heaven hot sauce by mellow habanero the ingredients are: Organic habanero, rice vinegar, yuzu juice, yuzu peel, organic mango, sea salt. It is made by a small business in Japan and the business owner is the sweetest man ever. It's the best hot sauce I've ever had
I eat exactly this way, too, for decades. I don't drink caffeine because it does unhappy things to me. So I stick with herbal teas. I will try the fermented tofu. It sounds delicious. Thanks!
You don't have to talk it down like this, it sounds extremely appetising and it is overall very inspirational! Me and my husband try to follow a somewhat similar vegan diet, although we definitely eat some more processed sweets or other snacks! But after seeing this beautiful video we'll try to work on that, too! Thank you and I would definitely welcome more food related content from you!
The food coma in the morning is too relatable 😅 As someone who lifts weights, I'm inclined to consume calorie rich meals, but I've been noticing that having a big breakfast has been really messing with my productivity (brain fog and drowsiness). Now since I've been fasting, my mornings feel ALOT better, and I feel more motivated to get stuff done 💯
So with you on it all...but...why are chickpeas a weekend treat - aren't they cheap and healthy? Not to mention flavour sponges/absorbers. Do you like puy lentils? Also - roast and salt them almonds and you won't look back ;) I do eat a lot of rye and sourdough bread though in my diet - nom nom. And beans - also nom. Thanks for the passion for flavour and health xxx
Depending on the variety of chickpeas they can take a long time to cook. I also consider chickpeas a treat because they are more expensive than beans/lentils, but that's just me🙂
Our house is a mix of tastes so it's a challenge for everyone to get what they want: I'm vegetarian, partner is pescatarian and child is omnivorous. We often end up eating different things because we just crave different foods! I drink green tea basically all day and I'm a big chocolate-lover but dark only - 90%. I think I just like bitter foods. I do love carbs though! Any potato is a good potato in my books.
Sounds delicious! Plus wild herbs I collect and wild mushrooms-plus these its very close to my eating. I am sadly allergic against garlic, so some things in need to find without-which is hard or not possible. What I cannot miss are chips- salt and pepper, organic only with oil and potatoes in it. Yamyamyam.
10:28 “Wildbrine Fermented Spicy Kimchi Sriracha” is vegan, raw, and SO delicious! No sugar, or other nasties. It’s produced in the USA so I’m not sure if it’s available in UK, but maybe there’s something similar? LOVE this video and would welcome more😊
Jenny, you inspire me to eat better everyday! Ever since I stumbled upon your yt channel, I've been wanting to go vegan (still not there though), and I've tried so many different foods, recipes and flavors because of your videos and your enthusiastic view of vegetables. You make eating healthy looks good and fun. Thank you very much! 💜
Maybe try making your own sriracha. It needs fermenting but it’s fairly simple and lasts, so you can make it in bulk. Just needs a processor and something to store it in.
Sounds beautiful and your videography is so gorgeous that's it's irresistible. Thanks for the suggestion for the fermented tofu. I bought it and then didn't know how to use it!
I love green leafy veggies! Honestly though, due to my IBS I cannot really digest broccoli. And kale is quite the same. But baby spinach and pak choi must be in my fridge all the time! And yes, absolute yes for the whole food plant based diet. I am celebrating my 5 year veganniversary on Friday and still discovering new yummy things to eat! By the way... I'm obsessed by your tableware, Jenny. Seriously gorgeous!! Cheers to happy vegans! (raising my mug with turmeric latte) 🌱💚
Wonderful video! The beautiful displayed food made me hungry. I eat mostly plant based and trying to come up with staple dishes that both my husband and I love. On busy days I tend to rely on frozen, processed vegan meat substitutes. Lately, I'm trying more tofu and bean recipes. Would love to watch your food preparing and recipe related videos.
I normally eat fruit/berries and nuts with vegan yogurt or toasted bread for breakfast with black or green tea, potatoes or pasta or rice with olive oil/soy sauce and steamed broccoli and/or mushrooms and beans or spinach salad with seeds for lunch and dinner. I snack with tea and fruit/nuts/chocolate/a biscuit or whatever
Hey Jenny, I love the way you eat and that actually could be my ideal diet, simple ,whole plant based and nutritious . I eat very similar although more complicated recipes every day but I think it is very liberating to not worry about different menu every day. my fave veggies are broccoli, courgette, artichoke and greens like kale and chard. I love berries, tofu, chickpeas and my favourite dish is veggie, greens and smoked tofu fried rice. I am going to try congee for sure...
I definitely need to make some changes, when it comes to my choices when I’m tired. . However, I do have some healthy foods I make weekly, humus is one but I recently started making a large vegan stew that varies slightly week to week. The base starts with a mirepoix of carrots, celery, onion, and garlic with a variety of spices and herbs sautéed in olive oil. I then add mushrooms. I then deglaze the pan with veggie broth and add an ancient grain like, farro, forbidden rice or barley… and I’ll add canned beans, like cannellini, garbanzo, black beans… once that is cooked I’ll. Turn off heat and add a dark leafy green, and any other veggie I have on hand and let the steam cook the veggie. I vary the beans, grain, and greens each week along with the seasonings for a different flare. I enjoy topping with nutritional yeast, siracha, kimichi, miso or pesto. What is nice is I have this to fall back on when I’m too tired to cook. However, for our summer meal I’ll need a new plan… hmm maybe cold grain and bean Buddha bowl?

Her channel started out as vegan recipes and they were absolutely fabulous. I miss them so much. I wish she would repost them.
Will do!!
@@JennyMustard do you still have your raw key lime pie? I used to make it from the video and never wrote it down. 😭
Yes! I would love to try the recipies! Are you considering publishing another cook book?

"Mary's test kitchen" has a great starter recipe for congee - you can find it online...

oooh, thanks for the suggestion.
Your tea pot/cups is heavenly! The way you romanize your food, really inspires me. Your whole life looks so romantic 🙂↔️
Thank you!! 😊
My favorite plant based food is a fruit smoothie. Frozen bananas, pineapple, wild blueberries, almond milk, and plant based protein powder.
I would love to see how you make your soup and congee! Thank you!

Jenny, I really must say, I discovered you around 2 weeks ago, and I could not be happier. I am 23 and in a transition period of my life into a more calm adult life full of abundance and consciousness of my needs and wants and taking responsibility for my choices.
You made me fall in love again with the diet I also chose 6,5 years ago. With all the new vegan options arising, my diet contained a lot of processed foods lately.
I am looking forward to being inspired by you and learning from your perspective of life in the future.
Thank you for your content! ✨️
mushrooms are a must! they can get expensive but I never regret it
Yes I was going to say, I must have some mushrooms in my week :)
I’ve been plant based seven years now! Vegetarian since I was 17( 51 now) women’s bodies go through so many changes at my age. The weight gain is no joke! So really trying hard to give up my sugar cravings. I look forward to my big salad every day for lunch:)
Really appreciate these food type videos. I have dropped of my clean eating train for a while and my body is hurting from it. These actually make me want to eat cleaner again.
I never really ate salads during the winter months, but this year I've been having a salad at least 4-6 times a werk and I feel SO much better. I still eat meat but not a whole lot, I prefer my veggies! I also reduced my sugar intake by about 75% and I feel great!!!
Have you tried adding sprouted mustard seeds to your meals. Delicious, so fresh and only takes about 5 days to sprout.
More food videos please.
YES PLEASE - some exact recipes are highly requested!
Jenny, your love of vegan culinary arts is inspiring. Thank you for highlighting meal plans.
Hey Jenny, yes, i'd like some more videos about food. I was hoping for such a video, thank you.
We need the recipies, Jenny!! Pleeeeeease 🙏🏻
yessss
Jenny Mustard, I aspire to eat as you do, and YES! I love food blog vids 💚
hi Jenny! I fell in love with your original food videos, sooo good still. ❤ Would absolutely love to have your cookbook reissued in English!
am in my eight year of living on my own and creating proper eating habits is the most difficult challenge, haven't figured out how to hack my neuro wiring beneficially.
watching J&D's videos for years and they are satisfying, aesthetically pleasing and a tru awe-maze.
may i find the self-love to come through for my self like this! i will try out a congə this week.
That sounds delicious!! I’ve been vegan for 10 years and still learned some new ideas from this video. Thanks
Thank you! This video is so inspiring. Please make more food videos. I am currently transitioning my family to a whole food plant based diet and I find it challenging to get excited for the meals and recipes I find. However, your videos and food are photographed so beautifully everything looks delicious and I cannot wait to make a healthy meal! Thank you!!!
I've always LOVED broccoli, mushrooms, sauerkraut, olives, soysauce, red bell bepper, cucumber, tomatoes, kale, all berries, walnuts, pistachios, onions, garlic, watermelon, grapes, clementines, cherries, gooseberries.. 🫒🍄🟫🫐🍊🍇🍒🥦🍉
For most of my life though I've been depressed for a bunch of reasons 😔, and have had insomnia and anxiety. This just makes you apathetic, tired, and you crave all the wrong stuff. So I haven't really eaten the way I'd like. 😮💨 But you are so right about the fact that when you eat fast food and processed food you never feel satisfied. Even when you overeat to the point of nausea there is still an empty feeling afterwards.
amazing vid!!! yessssss please do a recipe video - or fully show how you prepare these foods and put them all together
Most important ingredient for me: High quality organic olive oil directly from the Middle East. 😊 And we also eat a lot of raw vegetables plus pulses, fresh fruits etc. Whatever is in season. We buy our organic fruits and vegetables directly from an organic farm. Many years ago I saw in a restaurant in Syria that they arranged crude vegetables like a flower bouquet on every table. 🤍 Also we love low processed whole grains. And I drink plenty of tea too - without the tea. 😅 My favourite is Arabic mint with hot water. And in the winter fresh sage with hot water plus a piece of sliced orange and for a non-vegan some high quality organic honey. 😋
Glad to see this video, I’ve always loved your food content and noticed you’d taken all of the food related videos down. I find them very inspiring and relaxing ❤
I'm not vegan but this so helpful as I'm researching an anti-inflammatory diet ❤
Wow ! Sounds like the perfect diet to me ! Would love some recipes ideas, more detailed. The "everyday" ones 🙏🏻🥰
funny that my cravings now are things like brocoli, black beans and grilled portobello mushrooms, before going plant based it would be chocolate and crisps.
Ooh please more food videos! This was so inspiring
We’re always up for Jenny Mustard food videos! However, this video is all about keeping things simple, and there are only so many ways we can wax romantic about congee and dark, leafy greens.
Ultimately, make whatever content you like! I first came for the food and minimalism videos, but I stayed for the top-notch vibes 🥂
Honestly the way you eat sounds heavenly to me 💚
I do have to eat out a lot because of my job, but eveytime I come back home all I want to do is cook a noodle soup filled with greens, oh and I do love some homemade guacamole!
Thnaks for sharing this, it was very inspiring and also made me really hungry :)
I need to finally try the congee! As someone who wants to eat less processed foods, your way of eating inspires me to eat better. Thank you for sharing this 🤍
i’ve been way too depressed to cook a lot or eat healthily during the last year but at the moment i’m starting to enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes again! i have been noticing how much better i feel just from that, which makes me want to cook even more haha. and you’re right, beluga lentils are so good!! i’ve been randomly craving them and spinach ever since i was a child every now and then, my parents were often amused bc my brother wanted to eat sweets instead, most of the time.
So happy for you :) onwards and upwards !
@@georgiaperisanidis thank you 💖
Inspired to make changes towards yours vegan suggestions!Thanks for the “tasty” language of yours and by the way, I love sun-dried tomato avocado pairing ; )
There are so many options with a whole food plant-based diet. I like to keep it simple during the week and maybe make some thing A little more time consuming on the weekend. I usually go for Raw salads etc. during the day and then a soup or stirfry in the evening. I often make a Mexican inspired bowl with sweet potatoes or rice and beans with lots of toppings and sauces. Agree that berries are wonderful.Usually a snack for me is a shake made from plant milk beans and cocoa powder and a date for sweetness. Love your videos
I live in the south of France with my chef boyfriend and we do 90% of our food shop in the local twice-weekly market. The stands are mainly held by the people who actually grow the food and it is mostly organic and always local and seasonal - the three most important factors of my diet. I love this way of eating and couldn't be happier with it. Recommend recommend ;)
Vegan for 12 years it’s so beautiful knowing how much love I put into my health and supplements and teas and smoothies etc
I love your food/meal videos, are your older food videos up anywhere? They were so inspiring & beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.🌺
Loved the video and just ordered some Ritual vitamins for my daughter and I. Would love to know all the ingredients you add in those salads - actually it would be amazing to see a video of you and David cooking your dinner together! ❤️
We need a seasoning masterclass from you!
Yes I would love to see more food videos and how certain vegetables are cooked. You mentioned sautéing broccoli is steaming not as good? Also would love to see how u make the congee and what brands of condiments you like. 🙏🏼
Personally I like sauteed veggies much more than steamed becuase they're more flavorful that way for me, but nutrient wise I believe it's the same
Thank you for this! I think everyone, whether they follow a vegan diet or not, should aim to increase the proportion and volume of fresh veggies in their diet - most of us don’t get anywhere near enough! I try, and get there about 70% of the time 😄
Also berries 😍
ps I can’t handle any spice, but Frank’s hot sauce doesn’t have sugar and everyone I know loves it for its flavour.
I eat almost the same. I started back in 2016 and it’s alleviated so many health issues. I love it and will never go back to being an omnivore.
The one ingredient that I consistently eat pretty much every day for honestly all my life is oats. (the bigger ones, not the ones that turn to mush super quickly. Every morning I look forward to combining oats with usually a bit of protein powder, cocoa powder and milled linseeds and I never get bored of it. Love it as a snack in between as well and whenever my stomach feels kinda off, some oats with a little honey and warm water usually does the trick.
I made congee for the first time after seeing it on your channel. My favorite topping is oyster mushroom “bulgogi” which is just sautéed mushrooms with some bulgogi sauce and chili oil. So good!
I've been vegan 8 years and I just found your channel ❤ love it.
Welcome!!
I just had to change to a vegan diet due to having two mild heart attacks. Struggling with the new eating. Nothing seems to have flavor. I wish I loved it as much as you do!
Thank you Jenny, this is very helpful and filled with great, inspiring suggestions.
Your food aesthetic is the absolute best. Whole food plantbased is the best way to eat. My husband and I have been vegan for over ten years and we also prefer to eat our own food. Resturant food is usally very disappointing or too processed for us. Also genmaicha is the best green tea in my opinion. Also I need to try out congee. It looks so good. Thanks for the amazing content.
I had to stop the video at 3.53 we just had brown rice and lentil congee for dinner last night and i had it for breakfast just now...... so delicious - it is all about the toppings for me.... I put dried shiitake mushrooms in mine whilst cooking... so good for your stomach - satvic food!!!
I'd love to change coffee for green tea, but my stomach is quick to say "f no!". I am one of those who get a stomach ache from green tea... unfortunately. I am also very prone to gastritis if I am not very careful about my diet, so that might also have something to do with it. Weirdly 1-2 cups of coffee has no effect if I drink it after food (NEVER on an empty stomach!).
I absolutely love the way you describe healthy and delicious foods all in the same breath. It's wonderful!
We eat like this about 75% of the time and the rest it's a big pan of nachos haha. Mostly plant based though and we cook 3 meals a day at home and eat them seated at the table. We only eat out on Saturday for lunch. So I can relate!
Me and my husband both are ABSOLUTELY breakfast people though. I find a small breakfast of around 200 calories is perfect for 7 am to get me through the busy morning at work or being active.
If you can find yuzu heaven hot sauce by mellow habanero the ingredients are: Organic habanero, rice vinegar, yuzu juice, yuzu peel, organic mango, sea salt. It is made by a small business in Japan and the business owner is the sweetest man ever. It's the best hot sauce I've ever had
I eat exactly this way, too, for decades. I don't drink caffeine because it does unhappy things to me. So I stick with herbal teas. I will try the fermented tofu. It sounds delicious. Thanks!
I would love your congee recipe ❤️
Yes! 🙌
Voilà. You got me craving for greens (including green tea). Well done! ❤
Jenny, where is your beautiful tea pot from? I really feel like it would help me embrace a better tea drinking habit!
It’s from Mono :)
You don't have to talk it down like this, it sounds extremely appetising and it is overall very inspirational! Me and my husband try to follow a somewhat similar vegan diet, although we definitely eat some more processed sweets or other snacks! But after seeing this beautiful video we'll try to work on that, too! Thank you and I would definitely welcome more food related content from you!
The food coma in the morning is too relatable 😅 As someone who lifts weights, I'm inclined to consume calorie rich meals, but I've been noticing that having a big breakfast has been really messing with my productivity (brain fog and drowsiness).
Now since I've been fasting, my mornings feel ALOT better, and I feel more motivated to get stuff done 💯
So with you on it all...but...why are chickpeas a weekend treat - aren't they cheap and healthy? Not to mention flavour sponges/absorbers.
Do you like puy lentils? Also - roast and salt them almonds and you won't look back ;)
I do eat a lot of rye and sourdough bread though in my diet - nom nom. And beans - also nom.
Thanks for the passion for flavour and health xxx
Depending on the variety of chickpeas they can take a long time to cook.
I also consider chickpeas a treat because they are more expensive than beans/lentils, but that's just me🙂
SOUNDS SO PERFECT to me!
My biggest barrier to eating this way is the preparation. When I'm not working from home trying to eat so many fresh veggies becomes sad as a lunch
I've been vegan for 16 years too and also crave BROCCOLI! So good. And a roasted japanese sweet potato
Our house is a mix of tastes so it's a challenge for everyone to get what they want: I'm vegetarian, partner is pescatarian and child is omnivorous. We often end up eating different things because we just crave different foods! I drink green tea basically all day and I'm a big chocolate-lover but dark only - 90%. I think I just like bitter foods. I do love carbs though! Any potato is a good potato in my books.
Sounds delicious! Plus wild herbs I collect and wild mushrooms-plus these its very close to my eating. I am sadly allergic against garlic, so some things in need to find without-which is hard or not possible. What I cannot miss are chips- salt and pepper, organic only with oil and potatoes in it. Yamyamyam.
I'm one of the ones that gets a terrible stomach ache from green tea. I love it so much though! 😢
Omg can we get a tea video? I would like to see tea combinations and blends!!
Yum I already had my smoothie and papaya but after this I made some carrot lentil soup and I’m baking tofu broccoli and mushrooms now
Yes, please do more of these foodie (prep) videos...like you used to filmed years ago
Loved loved loved this video of yours! It reminds me of when you used to make these food videos years ago 🤩
10:28 “Wildbrine Fermented Spicy Kimchi Sriracha” is vegan, raw, and SO delicious! No sugar, or other nasties. It’s produced in the USA so I’m not sure if it’s available in UK, but maybe there’s something similar? LOVE this video and would welcome more😊
I’ve been vegan 14 years❤. 😊
Please share your congee recipe… I have also before and would love to get infos! You gutsy are awesome!
Jenny, you inspire me to eat better everyday! Ever since I stumbled upon your yt channel, I've been wanting to go vegan (still not there though), and I've tried so many different foods, recipes and flavors because of your videos and your enthusiastic view of vegetables. You make eating healthy looks good and fun. Thank you very much! 💜
Maybe try making your own sriracha. It needs fermenting but it’s fairly simple and lasts, so you can make it in bulk. Just needs a processor and something to store it in.
Sounds beautiful and your videography is so gorgeous that's it's irresistible. Thanks for the suggestion for the fermented tofu. I bought it and then didn't know how to use it!
I love green leafy veggies! Honestly though, due to my IBS I cannot really digest broccoli. And kale is quite the same. But baby spinach and pak choi must be in my fridge all the time!
And yes, absolute yes for the whole food plant based diet. I am celebrating my 5 year veganniversary on Friday and still discovering new yummy things to eat!
By the way... I'm obsessed by your tableware, Jenny. Seriously gorgeous!!
Cheers to happy vegans! (raising my mug with turmeric latte) 🌱💚
Yay, whole foods and plantbased - clever lady! I started out vegan, then turned to macrobiotics...its been the best, already 15 years by now!
Wonderful video! The beautiful displayed food made me hungry. I eat mostly plant based and trying to come up with staple dishes that both my husband and I love. On busy days I tend to rely on frozen, processed vegan meat substitutes. Lately, I'm trying more tofu and bean recipes. Would love to watch your food preparing and recipe related videos.
I normally eat fruit/berries and nuts with vegan yogurt or toasted bread for breakfast with black or green tea, potatoes or pasta or rice with olive oil/soy sauce and steamed broccoli and/or mushrooms and beans or spinach salad with seeds for lunch and dinner. I snack with tea and fruit/nuts/chocolate/a biscuit or whatever
Jenny, I am most interested in
your future recipe sharing preparation for balanced meals, including protein/carb content.
Hey Jenny, I love the way you eat and that actually could be my ideal diet, simple ,whole plant based and nutritious . I eat very similar although more complicated recipes every day but I think it is very liberating to not worry about different menu every day. my fave veggies are broccoli, courgette, artichoke and greens like kale and chard. I love berries, tofu, chickpeas and my favourite dish is veggie, greens and smoked tofu fried rice. I am going to try congee for sure...
I definitely need to make some changes, when it comes to my choices when I’m tired. . However, I do have some healthy foods I make weekly, humus is one but I recently started making a large vegan stew that varies slightly week to week. The base starts with a mirepoix of carrots, celery, onion, and garlic with a variety of spices and herbs sautéed in olive oil. I then add mushrooms. I then deglaze the pan with veggie broth and add an ancient grain like, farro, forbidden rice or barley… and I’ll add canned beans, like cannellini, garbanzo, black beans… once that is cooked I’ll. Turn off heat and add a dark leafy green, and any other veggie I have on hand and let the steam cook the veggie. I vary the beans, grain, and greens each week along with the seasonings for a different flare. I enjoy topping with nutritional yeast, siracha, kimichi, miso or pesto. What is nice is I have this to fall back on when I’m too tired to cook. However, for our summer meal I’ll need a new plan… hmm maybe cold grain and bean Buddha bowl?
