One of the biggest game changes in food prep wrt saving time is realising not only is peeling your vegetables/fruits for cooking not required, it extremely healthy option as there are many valuable nutrients lost when peeling that are especially great for developing young bodies of children for building their immune system. Not to mention the additional texture and flavour add punch to the meals too. Also, herbs, spices etc, are high value in anti-oxidents and many more, so when making baby/toddler food, don't leave them out, black pepper, paprika, herbs etc etc.

I tried the first two recipes today, it didn't come out perfect cause i can't cook to save my life but i was insanely surprised by how easy and delicious it is! Thank you very much!!
Cooking like any other skill is a matter of practice. Try making those recipes for like a week straight and you'll be making them with no fuss in no time.
You should try overnight oats, it's way easier Also, cooking is one of those things that you'll get better at the more you do it The first time I made something, i completely ruined it. I know it might make you feel worse because it's good and you don't want to mess up something you really need for sustenance, but I promise you'll get better at it the more you do it. A great place to start is eggs, if you do eat it. Make a sunny side up or scrambled eggs, fancy it up a little with something flavorful like sriracha and even some toppings like oregano, eat it with something you can get from the store like tortillas. Eggs always boost your confidence when you're starting out, so do try them
That's amazing, and with more practice you'll be looking back and seeing just how much more u can incorporate and do more in less time the basics r hard but just like any basic skill you'll hav it down in no time, if you've never done it yourself ur not "bad" perse your trying and that's what matters, it would be like asking an orangutan too solve a Rubix cube sure he could prob do it with time but u don't blame him cuz he's never tried it before‼️‼️
Not a student but I have never been to a store / farmers market where you can grab 1 egg, teaspoon of herbs etc. I would appreciate the realism here that you purchase the ingerdients like a student would, so essentially, planning a grocery list and then making it from there. That's where the true savings come from. I remember when I was a student the savings also came from what I could freeze or make in bulk, essentially cooking for 4 but freezing the 3 other meals for later use.
The true savings come from actually cooking with what you have at home. Over an extended period of time, if you don't let what you buy go to waste - this is what it will actually cost you. How many people just let stuff sit and go bad? That is what I call wasting money.
yeah i meal prepped some soup to but in the freezer not long ago. The soup was great and easy too make.. but now i owned celery... The recipe called for two stalks, but can you buy just two stalks? no. You buy a plant. So after the soup was done i was having to put celery in absolutely everything to not let it go to waste. It was a whole week of meals like: scrambled eggs - With celery, Wrap - With celery, Pasta sauce - With fucking sellery And so on.. (I drew the line at bread with celery. ) So yeah, shopping is a pain and celery an even bigger pain. I will never again sit at my desk at midnight and eat half wilted raw celery stalks like an absolute gremlin. The soup isnt worth the pain
@@cooksoya7503 yeah i tried my best to cook with it, and i did end uo making a lot of food with it. The raw celery munching was a very desperate attempt to not let it go to waste as it was vilting.. and I don't have the economy to waste food and I didn't have the economy to buy more ingredients to cook stuff with it..... but I've learned my lesson: Any food is better than going hungry, except for raw wilted celery. I'd rather go hungry than eat that shit
@@cooksoya7503 and thanks for the tips! college is going great so far! (Not including the celery incident. Or the time I was having a really rough day and my dinner consisted of shoving handfuls upon handfulls of frozen peas down my throat... but we don't talk about that)
Found this from Instagram, everyone was a butt, but this is amazing! Truly low effort (not no effort which no one seems to know the difference) healthy, and low cost. More please!
@@noobiehd7523 $6.00 a day is still very cheap for nutritious food though, so saying "broke" is still valid. Being low income is not a one size fits all by any means.

I’m a middle school girl who’s still in 7th grade. I learned cooking from your Channel! You inspire me so much. At first i wasn’t that much into cooking but you just keep posting recipes more and more and they’re all delicious! Love your videos + keep the good work!!
HII! I’m in high school now (Freshman) and I love seeing people who are somewhat around my age or a bit younger trying out cooking. I started when I was in 8th grade but kinda stopped. Good luck on the cooking journey!
Living in South Africa, I'm always fascinated by all the talk in rest of the world about how difficult and expensive it is to eat healthy. Just mindboggling for me.
@@jaret6661 We have people selling fresh fruits and vegetable out the back of a bakkie (ford pickup sort of thing) on the side of the street. Plenty farmers markets in town, direct from our farmers, where public have access to the very market supplying restaurants and grocery stores. Our most basic, even low income grocers have fresh vegetables and fruit etc. And as for takeout, we have plenty healthy options which are even cheaper than the imports from US like Mcdonalds and Burger King, they are definitely better value for money. Even our frozen vegetables are affordable. Equivalent of US1.50 for 1kg (Over 2pounds) of mixed frozen veg.
Oh, and more on take out. On their first two attempts of getting into South Africa, Mcdonalds went bankrupt, failed, we found the food so disgusting. They had to drastically adjust their approach and still barely making their 3rd attempt work. The only truly successful import to stand test of time has been KFC and SA version is nothing like USA at all. And my family health, well, my youngest turns 6 and has never needed to see a GP.
have to say, the chicken wrap was absolutely delicious! tweaked the recipe a tad, removed the honey and hot sauce from the sauce, used chicken breast instead of the thigh as the store was out of thighs and made a larger one as my dinner! definitely will eat again!
Just wanted to say I made the wrap and the tofu noods (but used tiny lil chicken thigh pieces instead) multiple times so far and they were both VERY good. I used to get those expensive meal kits, but for why?! I'm going to keep actually cooking. Thanks for the recipes, keep making videos please 🙏
It’s hard for me to remember you are a college student. You’ve been teaching us so much it’s easy to think you’re older than you are. I mean it as the highest compliment. Keep it up!
As a true broke college student, here's my routine: 1. I dont eat breakfast since I'm broke and I don't have time. 2. For lunch I eat an apple with a banana or maybe another small fruit. 3. No money for snacks mostly. I am broke, remember? 4. For dinner I cook rice with some curry (which I made a few days ago and eat for 2-3 days). That's a real broke college student routine.
i like cooking and i like tasty food. but due to my health and mental problems i hadn't cooked in a while and ate just whatever i could. your videos are really inspiring me to cook smth from them! they look pretty easy and won't take much time. I'm really thankful for motivation!
These are my favourite type of meals, simple, quick but very flavourful. Been trying out soaked oat recipes for breakfast and yours looks like an absolute winner 😋
I got pleasantly surprised when it came time for the bean salad That is because I recognised the cracker things you were not able to name. I am from Sweden and I believe that the brand you use is as well. In Sweden we call those crackers ”Knäckebröd” That roughly translates to “crisp bread” which is what we (or at least me and my English teacher) call it when speaking English
Love these meals! I'm studying in the Netherlands and we eat with at least 5 people everyday so our meals are more family style (like every type of food you can imagine) but these are nice for when you eat on your own!
Wow, the oaks soaked in yogurt and honey is genius! I've been having the same breakfast for days now only changing up on the fruit and it's still so bomb. It works with anything and it's so easy to make! THANK YOU! 💕
hear me out... so i get these oat cluster things from the grocery store, theyre like oats and nuts and other good stuff all stuck together and i basically put those and 2 tablespoons of high protein peanut butter into a bowl and microwave it then mix it all up it tastes so fucking good i swear
Tip from someone who worked in a sandwich shop: if you’re too lazy to heat the tortilla in a skillet (like me) or don’t have a clean pan, microwaving it for 10 second will do the same thing. Also sauces are everything, don’t take much time to make, and are simpler than you think.
I made just the chicken thigh recipe itself and it was amazing!!! My first time ever cooking a meat and you helped make the process simple. Thanks for the video!
in my country all these are expensive as hell...even buying an instant noodle can never recover from it financially unrealistic worldwide realistic in certain countries with good economy
Hey guys, not sure if anyone's already mentioned this, but for the tofu you should get soft/silken tofu because if you get firm tofu it won't crumble like that! Take it from someone that learned the hard way aha
I really wanna share my perfect recipe for breakfast: I soak oat with almond milk, put them into microwave for about 2 min in 65°C, which makes the oat sucks milk and softens. While waiting oat, i omelette 2 eggs to add more protein. Finally, i add soy sauce into the surface of oat and eat it with eggs, perfect and easiest breakfast for me 🥰
Marinade thin slices of chicken breast, i do it with soy sauce and bbq. The you can cook the two at a time in an air fryer, and eat it with kuskus, which you mix with boiling water and cover for 5 minutes (1.25 water per kuskus). Eat it with a cucumber and there you go. For breakfast you can buy/ prep shakshuka sauce. Makes it a 10 min prep.
I really like your videos, and these recipes are real good, nutricious tasty and easy :D The only thing I would advice is, use what you have. I sometimes get some ingredients that I dont really use that much and they end up going bad. So, even if that means cooking the same food a couple of times, you should all do what you can with what you have. Search for recipes, improvise, try to have fun and try to not overwhelm yourself ^^
When dicing a tomato, I like to start with slicing it in half then scooping out the wet parts, like scooping out the pulp and seeds from a pumpkin. It makes for a less messy Pico that keeps it fresh and lasting maybe 3 days longer than usual.
this is an amazing idea. However when I was a college student I didn't have access to a stove let alone pots and pans. If I couldn't do it in a microwave I couldn't do it at all. That's honestly something I feel all of these types of broke college student videos forget. You have to have the utilities to do things. And for a large portion of college students (especially the ones who'd be looking at this type of stuff) they don't
They don't forget. They just understand that not everyone is American and fucked as a student. Where I live for example all students at least have a kitchen. There is more to the world than America sorry
honestly if you dont have a stove, get yourself a good little rice cooker and an electric kettle. both are usually allowed and will save your life wrt cooking food - u can cook a lot more than just rice in a rice cooker!
Great video, looks so delicious. As a person that doesn't like oats with yoghurt, I suggest oats soaked in hot water, and then adding the grated apple, cinamon and honey. IT'S AMAZING
The only change I would make is marinating the tofu during lunch time in something like dark soy,light soy and anything else cuz I feel tofu is just a bit too bland even when seasoned heavily
Get yourself a sandwich maker, it’s a lifesaver! If you put lettuce and vegetables on the toast it’s healthy and in general it’s really quick and easy! For breakfast I often do porridge (just soak oats in water for a few minutes and heat it up) with greek yogurt with cinnamon and whatever fruits I have chopped on top of it. I eat way too much pasta! A favorite recipe of mine: cook your favorite type of pasta and throw some whole tomatoes in the pot with it, crush the tomatoes when putting it on the plate and add cheese, olive oil and some spices. I’m from Germany and we eat lotsa bread! Not the toast-ish American kind, real healthy bread. It’s quick and healthy! We call dinner “Abendbrot” - evening bread. I love eating it with cheese and cucumber or cottage cheese for example. Another great recipe is baked potato. Cut some potatoes (or just use small ones) and put them in the oven with some oil mixed with spices. A great addition is slices of pumpkin. It takes a while for it to be done, but the preparation is really easy. For the sauce I mix yoghurt with powdered paprika, honey and the left over spice oil. Rosemary is great for this one! You can even grow it yourself if you feel motivated to keep a plant alive.
Well... as I am currently trying to keep my budget more in balance, this piece of information seems to be coming at the perfect timing (although it's been somewhere about 30 years ago since I was a college student). Also, one of the daily habits that I am trying to stick to - and I hate to admit that I don't always succeed to do so - is: 4 colours on the plate. You seem to be doing a good job also that. Keep it up!
Today I tried the oats and they are freaking amazing. They're easy to make, delicious and lowkey healthy. The only thing that I would change is that I will soak the oats for 20-30 minutes, but I think it's more of a preference thing so try soaking it for different amount of time and see what works for you.
I came across this video, and the recipes are very useful. They are easy to make and, as a bonus, really delicious. I've watched many videos like this, but the recipes were complicated and ingredients weren't affordable. But these meals are perfect because you don't have to spend a lot of time cooking . Tofu noodles are the best!! Thank you for your help
As italian sometimes I'm shock from what people eat when they are "busy" or "don't have time to cook". Our "easy meals" are often other country "fancy meals" Edit: I'm not speaking about u KWOOWK, u are great. Love ur videos
I have pretty much the same type of oats/fruit/cinnamon combo for breakfast almost every day, but I like using blackberries/rasberries/blueberries instead of apple. I add protein by swapping between smoked herring, muscles, oysters, and sardines.
There are many "simple" recipes that list dozens of seasonings. Glad that you keep using the same ingredients. The main issue is students do not have enough time to prepare all ingredients, not enough space to store the ingredients, and oftenly too much ingredients means most of them will be expired as we don't cook often.
Back when my dad did Crossfit APE he had a really amazing oat meal breakfast that's super cheap. 2/3 oat meal 4/3 water 1 tsp coconut oil cinnamon 1/2 tsp brown sugar heavy whipping cream Bring to boil then cook for about 1 minute or until wanted thickness 1 tsp of coconut oil Shake a generous amount of cinnamon. (It should be darkish) Put in a little less than a half a tsp of brown sugar in. (About size of the end of my finger) Than add a little but of heavy whipping cream around the edges (shouldn't fully cover oatmeal And your done! Feel free to add more sugar or other ingredients if it would taste better.
I tried eating overnight oats once and I had one of the worse stomach pains ever for the rest of the day. I can’t imagine what would happen if I ate oats that are pretty much raw.
I'm not a college student anymore, but as a mother of a toddler I am here for the "30 min or less" part 🤣
Hahaha nicee
One of the biggest game changes in food prep wrt saving time is realising not only is peeling your vegetables/fruits for cooking not required, it extremely healthy option as there are many valuable nutrients lost when peeling that are especially great for developing young bodies of children for building their immune system. Not to mention the additional texture and flavour add punch to the meals too.
Also, herbs, spices etc, are high value in anti-oxidents and many more, so when making baby/toddler food, don't leave them out, black pepper, paprika, herbs etc etc.

I tried the wrap and it turned out delicious! Thank you for the recipe!
Ok, real talk:
If you REALLY want an actual STUDENT MEAL, read below:
1) indomei instant noodles
2) frozen veggies
3) fried egg
That's it.
I got pleasantly surprised when it came time for the bean salad
That is because I recognised the cracker things you were not able to name. I am from Sweden and I believe that the brand you use is as well.
In Sweden we call those crackers ”Knäckebröd”
That roughly translates to “crisp bread” which is what we (or at least me and my English teacher) call it when speaking English
True, over here in Malaysia we call them crispbread.
in Austria/Germany we call it Knäckebrot
We also have these in the Netherlands and we also call them knäckebröd. Which is Swedish so we can’t pronounce it right lol
Skål mannen försöker också hitta hälsosamma måltider nu med inflationen som ökat priset. Fan hemskt just nu
Knekkebrød here in Norway
Love these meals! I'm studying in the Netherlands and we eat with at least 5 people everyday so our meals are more family style (like every type of food you can imagine) but these are nice for when you eat on your own!
Wow, the oaks soaked in yogurt and honey is genius! I've been having the same breakfast for days now only changing up on the fruit and it's still so bomb. It works with anything and it's so easy to make! THANK YOU! 💕
Does he use Greek yoghurt or the regular yogurt?
@@Cypherior88 not sure which one he used, but I tried both and they're both good
a junior high school student here, this helped as a lazy young woman who is too shy to ask anyone to cook for me
I'm not a broke college student anymore but your pantry has more variety than mine
As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I approve! Great balances 💯🙏🏾
6:20 they’re awesome. In Denmark we call them knækbrød. They’re Nordic in origin, but in English they’re called “crispbread”.
In German we call them Knäckebrot :D
In Norway they go by Knekkebrød. :)
Yep
In french we call them grilletines

A broke college student talking about “Lunch”
I’d wake up and apologise if I even dreamed it.
hear me out...
so i get these oat cluster things from the grocery store, theyre like oats and nuts and other good stuff all stuck together and i basically put those and 2 tablespoons of high protein peanut butter into a bowl and microwave it then mix it all up
it tastes so fucking good i swear
Tip from someone who worked in a sandwich shop: if you’re too lazy to heat the tortilla in a skillet (like me) or don’t have a clean pan, microwaving it for 10 second will do the same thing. Also sauces are everything, don’t take much time to make, and are simpler than you think.
I made just the chicken thigh recipe itself and it was amazing!!! My first time ever cooking a meat and you helped make the process simple. Thanks for the video!
in my country all these are expensive as hell...even buying an instant noodle can never recover from it financially
unrealistic worldwide
realistic in certain countries with good economy
this was probably one of the most realistic and easiest videos ever, thank you so much!!
Hey guys, not sure if anyone's already mentioned this, but for the tofu you should get soft/silken tofu because if you get firm tofu it won't crumble like that! Take it from someone that learned the hard way aha
oh man at last a cooking video that does not obsess about eggs. I personally hate the taste of eggs, and that's why I love your meal ideas!
The moment he said, don't worry I'll take it from here, I instantly subscribed
I really wanna share my perfect recipe for breakfast: I soak oat with almond milk, put them into microwave for about 2 min in 65°C, which makes the oat sucks milk and softens. While waiting oat, i omelette 2 eggs to add more protein. Finally, i add soy sauce into the surface of oat and eat it with eggs, perfect and easiest breakfast for me 🥰
Please explain how the fuck soy sauce with oats is a good idea 😭
@@4rdency soy sauce goes well with almost everything i have to say 😂
Marinade thin slices of chicken breast, i do it with soy sauce and bbq. The you can cook the two at a time in an air fryer, and eat it with kuskus, which you mix with boiling water and cover for 5 minutes (1.25 water per kuskus). Eat it with a cucumber and there you go.
For breakfast you can buy/ prep shakshuka sauce. Makes it a 10 min prep.
I really like your videos, and these recipes are real good, nutricious tasty and easy :D
The only thing I would advice is, use what you have. I sometimes get some ingredients that I dont really use that much and they end up going bad. So, even if that means cooking the same food a couple of times, you should all do what you can with what you have. Search for recipes, improvise, try to have fun and try to not overwhelm yourself ^^
When dicing a tomato, I like to start with slicing it in half then scooping out the wet parts, like scooping out the pulp and seeds from a pumpkin. It makes for a less messy Pico that keeps it fresh and lasting maybe 3 days longer than usual.
this is an amazing idea. However when I was a college student I didn't have access to a stove let alone pots and pans. If I couldn't do it in a microwave I couldn't do it at all. That's honestly something I feel all of these types of broke college student videos forget. You have to have the utilities to do things. And for a large portion of college students (especially the ones who'd be looking at this type of stuff) they don't
They don't forget. They just understand that not everyone is American and fucked as a student. Where I live for example all students at least have a kitchen. There is more to the world than America sorry
You'll notice he's not using a kitchen either. Those portable stove thingies aren't that expensive.
@@mysidian they’re also banned in a lot of dorm halls, not that I give a shit what the university tells me I can and can’t have but some people do
honestly if you dont have a stove, get yourself a good little rice cooker and an electric kettle. both are usually allowed and will save your life wrt cooking food - u can cook a lot more than just rice in a rice cooker!
''Says he's broke, yet still lives in what looks like a 4k/m apartment" Yep, the usual youtuber cook video.
how do you know this costs 4k/m lol? he might live in a cheap neighbourhood in a cheap town
3:01 dude just hit space with his pointer finger and now I can’t focus on anything else
Stop because I just watched that scene and was gonna come comment, and see your comment, 2 years early
Great video, looks so delicious. As a person that doesn't like oats with yoghurt, I suggest oats soaked in hot water, and then adding the grated apple, cinamon and honey. IT'S AMAZING
I love how your content just gets better and better
I loved seeing the current subs at 4605, look down to the subscribers count, and it's nearing 4 million. Great job my guy.
”I also add some cinnamon to add the taste of cinnamon” 😂😂😭
If you don’t like soggy wraps that’s A-okay. Just try it as a bowl with quinoa/rice instead or a tortilla super yummy
I love your simple yet healthy recipes! 😊 This motivates me to learn how to cook 💛
"I am a broke college student"
*Shows basically a penthouse with a city view*
The only change I would make is marinating the tofu during lunch time in something like dark soy,light soy and anything else cuz I feel tofu is just a bit too bland even when seasoned heavily
Good idea!
@@letsKWOOWK thanks :)
Get yourself a sandwich maker, it’s a lifesaver! If you put lettuce and vegetables on the toast it’s healthy and in general it’s really quick and easy!
For breakfast I often do porridge (just soak oats in water for a few minutes and heat it up) with greek yogurt with cinnamon and whatever fruits I have chopped on top of it.
I eat way too much pasta! A favorite recipe of mine: cook your favorite type of pasta and throw some whole tomatoes in the pot with it, crush the tomatoes when putting it on the plate and add cheese, olive oil and some spices.
I’m from Germany and we eat lotsa bread! Not the toast-ish American kind, real healthy bread. It’s quick and healthy! We call dinner “Abendbrot” - evening bread. I love eating it with cheese and cucumber or cottage cheese for example.
Another great recipe is baked potato. Cut some potatoes (or just use small ones) and put them in the oven with some oil mixed with spices. A great addition is slices of pumpkin. It takes a while for it to be done, but the preparation is really easy. For the sauce I mix yoghurt with powdered paprika, honey and the left over spice oil. Rosemary is great for this one! You can even grow it yourself if you feel motivated to keep a plant alive.
"The pan is ready to recieve your noods" 😂
Well... as I am currently trying to keep my budget more in balance, this piece of information seems to be coming at the perfect timing (although it's been somewhere about 30 years ago since I was a college student). Also, one of the daily habits that I am trying to stick to - and I hate to admit that I don't always succeed to do so - is: 4 colours on the plate. You seem to be doing a good job also that. Keep it up!
“The pan is ready to recieve your noods” 😂 8:00
Today I tried the oats and they are freaking amazing. They're easy to make, delicious and lowkey healthy. The only thing that I would change is that I will soak the oats for 20-30 minutes, but I think it's more of a preference thing so try soaking it for different amount of time and see what works for you.
A guy with 3 million subscribers says he is broke ...
he had 6k then
this is an old video
Brother even speed is broke ,almost compared to his subscribers.
I love your relationship with food, your food philosophy
I guess I'm kinda the same
So it's really comforting to know that im not alone
4:44 please I beg future me, make this.
Did future you make this
yo have you made it yet?
I like how you show your real camera filming " phone camera filming scene "
Dudes got nearly 3m subs.. pretty sure he's not still a broke college student
I came across this video, and the recipes are very useful. They are easy to make and, as a bonus, really delicious. I've watched many videos like this, but the recipes were complicated and ingredients weren't affordable. But these meals are perfect because you don't have to spend a lot of time cooking . Tofu noodles are the best!! Thank you for your help
As italian sometimes I'm shock from what people eat when they are "busy" or "don't have time to cook". Our "easy meals" are often other country "fancy meals"
Edit: I'm not speaking about u KWOOWK, u are great. Love ur videos
For breakfast i eat oatmeal with cottage cheese, with some fruit or berries almost every single day.
0:03 cocaine , all i hear is cocaine nowadays
I have pretty much the same type of oats/fruit/cinnamon combo for breakfast almost every day, but I like using blackberries/rasberries/blueberries instead of apple. I add protein by swapping between smoked herring, muscles, oysters, and sardines.
bro def not broke anymore xD
bro went from 4.6k subs to over 3 million 💀
There are many "simple" recipes that list dozens of seasonings. Glad that you keep using the same ingredients. The main issue is students do not have enough time to prepare all ingredients, not enough space to store the ingredients, and oftenly too much ingredients means most of them will be expired as we don't cook often.
3:30 "Don't forget to wash your hands"...Don't forget to wash your chicken
Great video though 👍🏾
Don’t wash chicken, you just get salmonella on your sink, the heat kills bacteria
What's great about wraps is that even if you want to refrigerate it you can always heat it in a pan later to get it nice and crispy once again
Bro lets be honest … you ain’t broke !😂
When he said 4.6K, I immediately rushed over check his current following.
3.5M🎉🎉
Congrats KWOOK, for making it this far!
lol, the edits on 4:12 made the joke work :)
Back when my dad did Crossfit APE he had a really amazing oat meal breakfast that's super cheap.
2/3 oat meal
4/3 water
1 tsp coconut oil
cinnamon
1/2 tsp brown sugar
heavy whipping cream
Bring to boil then cook for about 1 minute or until wanted thickness
1 tsp of coconut oil
Shake a generous amount of cinnamon. (It should be darkish)
Put in a little less than a half a tsp of brown sugar in. (About size of the end of my finger)
Than add a little but of heavy whipping cream around the edges (shouldn't fully cover oatmeal
And your done!
Feel free to add more sugar or other ingredients if it would taste better.
More vids like this plis!!
My fiancée just added your bean salad snack to her box of written out recipes. So that’s definitely a win for you.
I tried eating overnight oats once and I had one of the worse stomach pains ever for the rest of the day. I can’t imagine what would happen if I ate oats that are pretty much raw.
That was probably because your stomach started moving because of the fibers it happened to me before
The fiber took action
The best cooking videos! No boring mix and stir. Love you rhymes 😁
1:35 lies. I get hungry after 30-60 min :p
This man is a genius at marketing. From the looks of it he went from 4,500 subscribers to 3.5 mill in just a year.
You're not really broke when you have all those ingredients.
If he can eat for less than 7 dollars a day, then how are these ingredients too expensive for you?
@@yourmajesty3569 as I said broke people don't have that money and honestly, there is no zucchini and other ingredients that are below $7
The editing transitions are fun, how he cuts from a fresh tomato to a diced tomato with the swish of a knife.
4:45 Unfortunately, I have the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene, and for me cilantro ruins any dish it is added to.
your place is so bright I can never handle that brightness
$6,25 a day, that's expensive
Please please please make more I’m trying to move out soon and really love this for cheaper food options that also look really good
That oatmeal tastes awful, I think the combinations of yogurt and apple isn't a right choice.
