I love making what I ate today videos to show that it's easy to make healthy, filling meals on a plant based diet. I like to cook the same foods I did before going vegan, like pancakes and mashed potato bowls, but as you will see in this video, I just find little ways to swap out the animal products and add in fruits and veggies. It's not about deprivation or reinventing the wheel, it's just a few small changes that really add up! The result is filling, healthy meals that taste good and they're easy to make. I hope you enjoy seeing what I eat in a day and this Target haul too!

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I eat in a day as a vegan with some healthy and balanced meal ideas. Let me know if these recipes gave you some cooking inspiration and if you enjoyed seeing my Target Haul! I'd love to know if you make these filling recipes at home, especially the vegan pancakes and veganzied KFC mashed potato bowls recipe! 😊 Love, Nicole
Four little positive things for you: 1. I love your channel and content. It is always so calming and interesting! 2. You are such a kind person. You spread positivity in all your videos. 3. Your personality encourages me to be a better version of myself. 4. I appreciate and like the way you approach things. You never seem to judge and your thoughts and actions are so motivating! Have a great day and thank you for the great videos!😊 Love from Germany
Aw thank you so much! This comment made my day. I really try to show that veganism is an extension of compassion so I’m glad that it shows in my videos! That means a lot to me. Thank you for taking the time to leave me this comment. So nice! Hope you have a great weekend 💚
@@NikkiVegan And the fact that you replied to me made my evening☺️I went vegan almost two years ago and you have been a great help and inspiration of mine especially at the beginning💚
Dear Nikki, I appreciate how you find beauty and romance in the mundane of every day life. Thank you for inspiring us.
@@dorianterrell5722 uh exscuse me, watch your mouth!
A huge reason why I come back to your videos and channel is because you sprinkle in so much positivity into things I would normally think are mundane. I feel so much more uplifted when I watch your videos, they’re so cozy ☺️
I love this channel so much. You combine simplicity with usefulness and the presentation is just beautiful and then your calm and soothing voice and manner, it all works perfectly together 🌿🌱
I was thinking the same... Her videos are always so calming😊
I love Rabbit and Wolves! I’ve tried so many good recipes from that blog! You have to try their biscuits with shiitake mushroom gravy, it’s one of my favorite comfort food recipes.
That sounds so delicious!! 🤤
@@breejeanne dangerously delicious! 😀
Queen of cozy! I love how cherish the small stuff💛
And this is why I love your videos....the thing you do best, of course the food is wonderful and the tips are great but as the great French writer André Gide, said, "Know that joy is rarer, more difficult and more beautiful than sadness. Once you make this all-important discovery, you must embrace joy as a moral obligation." Thank you for consistently being the good thing in a day.
I'm not usually into 'what I eat in a day' vlogs so I almost skipped this one, but I ended up really appreciating all the life hacks and the mashed potato bowl tips. Thank you!
Loved what you shared about positivity and negativity, it’s so so true
Absolutely loving how much you effort you put into your videos!! You have been uploading soo much😍 had no idea about target’s vegan finds! 🔥 definitely going soon to mine now😂
Thank you for noticing! I spend a lot of time editing and trying to make sure my videos are helpful. It means a lot that you appreciate that ☺️💚 Let me know what you find at Target! So many cool vegan options now a days!
Nikki just doesn't make 'what I eat in a day' videos. She makes them special and mindful. Not only does she throw yummy and healthy food tips in her videos but also mental health tips for positivity! That's what I love about her channel. Brilliant beyond brilliant. Keep it up! It helps a lot 🤍🤍🤍
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad that you like and appreciate that I try to add lots of helpful tips into my videos, that really means a lot to me 💚 Thank you for taking the time to let me know that you enjoyed this video!
This is a great video, Nicole. You are doing a fantastic job on your content and I enjoy the care you take and the fact that you make eating vegan or plant based look so easy and delicious.
Thank you! It was an adjustment when I first when vegan but over the years it’s become second nature and it really can be as easy or complicated as I make it. I like showing that it can be simple and still delicious ☺️ Glad you enjoy seeing that too! Hope you have a great weekend 💚💚
Liking this video after I just ate a falafel shawarma (wrap) haha
Tomorrow is groceries day though, so Nikki's healthy recipes are always good inspiration 😍
I'm using the Blood Orange and Clove scent right now and I LOVE it!
Nice! Good to know! I’ll check that one out! Thank you 🍊 ☀️
🙌🙌🙌
I suffer from depression and anxiety and I can truly say that your videos bring me joy. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I do too, especially depression. You are not alone ❤️❤️ I’m glad my videos can be comforting to you. Please be sure to take good care of yourself and get help when you need it. Taking care of our mental health is so important. Sending you love. Hope you have a good rest of your day ✨
@@NikkiVegan Thank you so much 😊 You as well!
Recently picked up the coconut&vanilla plastic-free container from Native. It's dope!
Also at Target I have picked up reusable ziplocs & paper sandwich bags for things I might not have tupperware for. They are helping me get to 0 plastic waste! :)
I love that one! Smells so summery and light! 🥥☀️ One of my favs! And I know, I’m so happy to see so many plastic free options these days! Change is possible 😊🌎🌱☀️💚🙌
💙🌱🌎
Love, love, love your channel. You are so inspirational and I always look forward to watching your videos. Thank you so much for making them. They are so helpful!
The coconut one is the only one I have found that last me all day. For some reason the others don't last as long but that coconut one last forever! Even on days when I'm really active it keeps me from having any stinky BO. Its amazing lol
Interesting! I’m glad you found one that works well for you! The coconut one smells amazing 🥥
💙🥥✨
Yay looking forward to watching this while I have my afternoon snack!
Sounds cozy! Hope you enjoy ☺️💚
Dear Nikki, a few videos ago I saw you use Banza chickpea-based pasta. I have since then gotten various types of Banza pasta and their rice via Thrive Market, and I love them. I don't know if you or another UA-cam Influencer mentioned this but I've also tried RightRice and I like their original, Thai, Garlic Herb, Cilantro Lime, and Lemon Pepper flavors. The Right Rice Spanish Rice flavor aggravated my acid reflux. I just want to say thank you Nikki!
I had UA-cam on continuing play while running errands and your nuggets of wisdom at the end were so profound that I scrolled back to share some positivity. ☺️ Seriously, girl, you are becoming one of my favorite UA-camrs. Vegan or otherwise. 🥰💚🌱
Aw thank you Toni! That really means a lot to me!! Thanks for the feedback and for taking the time to leave a nice comment. It really motivates me to keep making videos 😊😊 Thanks again! Hope you're having a nice day!
I haven’t watched you in so long and I binge watched this morning. Love your food ideas and your calming voice❤️
your videos are my absolute favorite 🥺 and i watch quite a bit of people. i love how calming your voice is, how educational they are, and how your promos just flow so well into your videos. you can tell you put a lot into your videos!
Wow that made me so happy you have no idea! I’m so glad you like my videos, that means a lot. I do put a lot of work into every video I make so it’s nice that you can see that. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know 😊 thank you so much! Hope you’re having a nice day!
Oh your heart to heart at the end of the video made me so happy ☺️☺️ your videos have helped me so much during times of stress and uncertainty, I hope you know how much we love you! 💕
I’m so happy to hear that this video was comforting for you! Hope you’re doing well. Sending you love 💚
Love your channel! Watching your videos always makes me smile! Thank you for sharing the info about positivity, it is so true and we all need a lot more of that ❤️
You are so positive and inspirational!! Love your videos!
Looks delicious! 😍 Thanks for the new meal ideas! I definitely want to try the tofu. Also, I tried Native deodorant from the last time they sponsored you and have become a fan! Just made a new order with your coupon code. Thanks! 🌷
💙📦📫
I’m in the UK and Target is one of my happy places 😂. The other is Trader Joes 😍. My husband and I both use Native and would never go back to anything else now. I love that they do seasonal scents too!
💙🙌
I love your positive vibes. Target is one of my favorite places to shop. Your recipes looks so good.
Thank Mel! Me too! Target has so many cool vegan options now. Makes me happy ☺️
Nikki I love love love your channel!!! I just ate breakfast (a really good tofu scramble) and I was thinking about your channel the whole time lol
Aw nice! I’m probably going to make tofu scramble for lunch today lol
@@NikkiVegan 😊💗
Thank you Nikki for always helps me feel relaxed every afternoon. I always watch your video everytime I need time to feel cozy and relax. I also have a cup of warm coffee while watching your video. I wish you could have your own podcast one day and we can sit together while sipping our coffee.
Seriously your video is so relaxing to watch, it's ease my anxiety, and so helpful and full of inspiration ❤️
I just got home and I remembered in so many of your videos that you do little things for yourself. So I fed my bunny and my cat after giving them kisses, put the fire place on and went and changed into my PJ'S before making a delicious but simple dinner and saw your new video! Such perfect timing 🥰
Wowww!! The effort and details! Looove!! Thank you!
1st, LOVE your "what I eat in a day" videos...2nd, ive been making a vegan version of the KFC bowls for over a year and omg, so so good! Even my omni husband eats it lol
So I see you used the second thumbnail. Good choice)
Definetly need to try your pancake version😃
Queue the excited squeal when I saw a new upload! Thank you for always being a bright ray of sunshine and sharing simple and nutritious vegan meals!!
That tofu looked so good. Love what you said about positivity! ❤
Yeeesss! I LOVE your what I eat in a day videos! You do them the best! I needed this video so much! It had a little bit of everything. I liked the Target haul, the reminder to be positive and focus on little things, the recipes and how you made your food, your calm voice and great videography! You have such great ideas. You are a talented cook! You're awesome, Nikki! Thank you for your channel and this video! 💜💙💚
The mashed potato bowl looks so good!! Mashed potatoes is basically my favorite food lol
I'm hungry now! Who's surprised???
I never had a KFC mashed potato bowl but one of my weird favourites is a big bowl of mashed potatoes with a lot of garlic and vegan butter AND loads of Sauerkraut that's lightly "charred"right out of the pan. So good!!! A sliced vegan sausage is a good topping, too.
Another great video! Please keep them coming!😁
Ooooh that blog Rabbits & Wolves looks like it has great comfort food! “Target really loves vegan queso” made me lol. This was so cozy and comforting and helpful
Thanks Jessica! They have awesome southern comfort food on their blog! Love it! and lol Target is crazy for queso 🧀 🤷🏻♀️ 😂
I HAVE to try that yummy potato bowl. I have all the ingredients on hand. I use native as well. It works the best so far and I have tried alot of cruelty free deoderants that do not work. Thanks for the video!
Nice! I’m glad you’re a fan as well! I had such a hard time finding one that worked for me so I can relate 💯 Let me know what you think of the mashed potato bowl when you try it! I really liked it 👌💚
@@NikkiVegan i actually took 3 different meh deodorants and melted them together and put them back in a deodorant container. It actually works. Lol. Couldn’t throw them away.
Happy to hear this! 👍
@@NikkiVegan Mashed potato bowl was the BOMB!!! thanks for the recipe!!!
Nikki - I love this, beautiful reminders of the little things that are so important and keep us on the right track to live a healthy, positive happy life. Thanks for sharing your beautiful soul. And the food looks amazing! 🤗
Aw thank you Lori! ☺️☺️
I just found you and love your recipes. Made the quinoa cooked cereal omg delicious
Can't seem to access any of the recipes in this video. The Rabbits and Wolves site is particularly bad for this. I would love to try yours but I can't seem to find them on your site.
Always love your videos and the messages you share
I truly believe that we always tend to feel the affect of the negative comments and disregard the positive when they're both mentioned... Sad how we can do that to ourselves... Thanks for always being a positive and calming UA-camr... You're definitely needed in this community! 🙏🏼💞
Aw thank you for saying that! And I’m glad the part of the negativity effect resonated with you too. It really clicked for me so I’m glad you understand 💚 Thanks for taking the time to leave such a nice comment. Appreciate you!! ☀️
Awesome video as usual and thanks for the tip on the Rabbit and Wolves blog. I hadn't heard about them but will be keeping an eye on them....and shopping my Target for some great vegan finds.
Thanks Shelley! I loved this gravy recipe so much! Delicious meal 😊
I have been putting off using my matcha powder because I don’t have a whisk. But I DO have a frother! Awesome tip! 💜💜
This was such an overall beautiful video. It brightened my day. Thank you!
I’m so glad!! This comment brightened my day ☀️ Thank you!
You are my favorite vegan UA-camr! After breast cancer I started making my deodorant...5 yrs now. So easy just mix arrowroot flour/ powder and a little coconut oil together just to make a paste, that's it. Start with 2 tablespoons of flour. You can add essential oil to it if you want. Its not oily or ever stained any clothing. It absorbs into skin within a few seconds. You only need a pea size amount for each pit. Give it a try, saves so money too.😘
the KFC bowls o m g that looks soooo good!! idk why I never make mashed potatoes??? making that asap hahaha.
And I love the positivity tips you included at the end. Your videos are really helping me get through quarantine and become a better and more thoughtful person overall! Thank you for being you
Aw thank you!! That’s so so nice ☺️ I’m glad my videos have been able to bring you some comfort and light during this time. That means the world to hear! And omg the mashed potato bowls were bomb. Can’t wait for you to try! 🙌🙌💚💚
Rabbit and Wolves is one of the best blogs!
Agreed!! They’re amazing!!
@@NikkiVegan I haven't made anything that wasn't delicious!
Same!
The pancakes were like a science lesson! Delicious, delicious science!!
Nikki, would luv to see a Nikki Vegan recipe E-book.
Thanks! I used to have one but my style of cooking has changed so much since then! Would love to make a cookbook (or many!) in the future one day 🙏💚
I really enjo the tips and tricks that you share.
Can’t wait to try the tofu mash bowl! 🤤
You are amazing!!! I love your channel so much!!! Can’t wait to make that dish with the gravy! 💗
Aw thank you so much! I’m so glad that you like watching my videos ☺️☺️ Let me know what you think when you make this recipe! I loved it 🙌
Another great video by Nikki!! Great tips along with great food ideas!! I actually went to Target today and they have a Buy 2 Get 1 Free on a lot of vegan products(by the produce area where the tofu/mayo/cheese is). Your positivity comes through the screen in your videos. The tofu bowl looks amazing and can't wait to try!!! Thanks for another great video/info!
Aw thank you so much that’s so nice of you to say! And yay for bogo vegan products! Yay #teamvegan 🙌🙌💚💚
Love these and your approach to food and life! So inspiring
Aw thank you! ☺️💚💚
The spinach artichoke hummus SLAPS!! Always sells out at my target. So yummy!!
It’s so good! The flavor is on point for sure! I see why it sells out
@@NikkiVegan the garlic of that brand is really good too. Even on toast!
Thank you for the Positive tips.
Thanks Jamie! Glad to know you liked that part 💚💚

You rock as always!! I love the chickpeas cookie dough recipe 😍😍😍🙌🙏 God bless you.
Loved this! I’m gonna make the chickpea cookie dough... I’ve made cookies with chickpea flour that you bake before & it was really good. Also if you say I must try the gravy bowl, I will! 😁 Also loved the ending! Hope you are well! 💖
Thanks Jean! I haven’t tried using chickpea flour to make cookies but that sounds awesome. Is there a recipe you like? 🍪
Wow-the mashed potato bowl looks yummy-a must try.👍😊💞
Thanks Kathleen! It was so good! A must try for sure ☺️ Let me know what you think!
Absolutely loved this video
Aw thank you so much Jessica ☺️☺️❤️❤️
I think I might break down and order some Native deodorant using your code!! Lol I got a different natural deodorant brand a few months ago and it doesn't work very well, but I keep thinking I wanna use it up before I buy another! 😂 Hey that's one plus side of being home all the time, I'm not too worried about my subpar deodorant 😉😅 love this video as always Nicole! 💜✨
Haha I know! I only wear deo when I’m going out to run errands these days because I’m home so much lol I’m excited for you try Native! I’ve been using it for a year and it works so well for me. Let me know which scents you decide on! ☀️💚
@@NikkiVegan I orderd citrus & herbal musk, coconut & vanilla, and lilac & white tea! So excited!
Excited for you to try our deodorant! Tell us what you think!
@@native_cos I love it! I've converted my boyfriend as well :)
Great video, especially love the advice re making the most of small things!
Thanks Emma! I really try to emphasize that message because it can really highlight the beauty in simple, everyday life ☀️
What’s the pod cast u listen too?
Love your channel and how polished your videos are! Wondering about adding the vinegar… I’m well aware of mixing vinegar and baking soda for cake/muffin/cupcake recipes, but I thought that vinegar or lemon juice would react with baking soda, not baking powder… Could you share your thoughts on that?
New subscriber, loving your content 🙏❤️
Nice! Thanks for subscribing Maria ☺️💚 Hope you enjoy my videos!
Those pancakes looked really good. I wish I could do Scented candles and stuff. I would. 💖 Nice video. ☺️ I feell like I'm the only one who has never been to Target. our little town doesn't know what Target is. lol. I would have to travel 3 minutes to 2 hours to get to one. lol.

@@NikkiVegan Oh awesome! I totally love them, they remind me how important self care is
Do you mind me asking whether you generally calorie count, or is it more just making similar sized portions each time which you know will fill you up? I'm trying to get the balance right with calorie counting and monitoring nutrition just as a rough guide, and just wondering about your experience.
Love virtuous personality and great videos 🤗
I’m so happy you like my videos! Thank you!!
On my way to Target!
The tofu looked good!
Great video, as always!
Thank you Kris! Hope you have a great Friday ☺️💚
