Alexandra you’ve literally changed the way I think about food, eat food, and how I feel! You’ve helped me fall in love with plant-based eating, because your recipes are so delicious, colourful and nourishing. I feel amazing and have so much fun in the kitchen. Thank you for everything you do!! I cannot wait to start this challenge on Monday. Every year I think “surely the next challenge can’t be better than this one”, and every year you blow my mind. These recipes look incredible and I can’t wait to feel nourished and have fun!
Thank you so so much for writing this out, I'm so over the moon that my videos help you feel that way!! ❤️ Looking forward having you in the challenge 🙌🏽
i love how you show us exactly what and how to prep it and it's even helpful to see what containers youre storing stuff in. I love the marinated tofu in a jar. it saves so much space than a flat storage container.
Meu nome é Daniela. Moro no Brasil. Não entendo inglês, mas só pelo passo a passo consigo compreender tudo. Você é incrível. Parabéns. Você me inspira.
I recently purchased access to your app, and I must say it's the best decision I've made. The meals are not only easy but also satisfying. I've tried various apps recommended by fitness UA-camrs, but none of them compare to the aesthetic appeal of yours. Perhaps it's just my experience, but I can confidently say I enjoy every meal, a rarity with other apps. Even my non-cooking boyfriend can effortlessly prepare and relish these recipes. Thank you for what you are doing❤
My husband and I have been plant based for a couple of years now, but from time to time we get into a rut of eating the same old meals. So glad that I found your channel and your recipes. All of these looked awesome. Happy New Year, may yours and everyone watching your channel, be full of health, wealth, plants, and happiness. 😊
It's easy going down the rut path eating the same things! Happy my videos are helpful and hopefully you find some new favourites during this challenge 💚
I lift, do Pilates, and I often want to fuel my workouts with more protein (without having to drink protein shakes too often). So if you, like me, want a bit more protein in these recipes here are a couple of ways I got more protein into some of these recipes by just adding one thing: 1. Add shredded tempeh to the chili 2. Add edamame protein puffs to the oat bars 3. Replace regular granola with equal parts edamame puffs and grape nuts (crunchy and delicious)
Hi from Canada ~ I am pretty plain vegan eater. I love your ideas and you give alot extra flare and inspiration on how I can jazz up my foods more ~ Namaste~
You're so inspiring, amazing and practical! Thank you so much. I learned a lot from you to avoid eating something boring. I can’t wait to try these recipes. You made my day girl! 🌿🌱🌳
I loooove this video - too. It's always inspiring me, how easily you cook, or organise mealplans and mealpreps. I feel after wathcing this: i can do it too🫶💚
So i have been a subscriber of another plant based subscription for the past few years and i cannot compain at all. However i accidentally discovered Alexandra over the past few weeks, loveee her vids, the beautiful plating of her food, tried a few free receipes 😋😋🤤 and now subscribeed to her app and will be trying this challenge 🤗 i think my only worry is the portion size for my bf, but let's see how it goes this time and then we can tweak accordingly. Alexandra if you read this- you have inspired me greatly and i am looking to your videos and recipes for inspiration while we navigate some pregnancy difficulties. Happy new year to you and your beautiful family 🌻
Thank you! I’m going to get started this weekend. Your such a wonderful encouraging and inspirational person. I can’t wait to start! Thank you for adding the recipes and step by step.
Mmmmmmm 🤤 off to the shops I go to get ready for Monday!! Love your recipes 🙏🏻 I still get excited when a new one comes to the app! 👏👏👏 thank you thank you thank you 😘
I've just subscribed to your premium app.. thanks for creating such a wonderful and making it affordable for all of us, I also appreciated how the app showed your prices in ZAR for me. I'm ordering my groceries as we speak❤
Hey Alexandra ❤ I have a request!:) would you try to make a copy cat Annie’s tahini dressing? That way we can home make it with out the other extra stuff
Thank you for this challenge and video! I’m curious on the warm lentil salad leftovers … do you reheat them before eating the second day? If so how do you reheat?
Thank you 🙏🏽 I cooked a lot without oil when starting eating plant based around 7 years ago.. in 7 years you change a lot (including me) so there are two reasons, 1: I don't like the mindset of all or nothing, some oil here and there won't do harm. 2: it brings out the flavor more :)
Får du aldrig hat online för att du är vegan? Känner en som lägger upp vegansk mat, liknande det du äter, och får ibland hat från köttätare. Det är så tråkigt. Tycker allt du lägger upp ser så gott ut! ❤
Alexandra - I have just spent the last week watching your amazing videos one after another! Thank you so much for such incredible content! My teenage daughter is vegetarian but I would love her to go vegan like me so have been sending her your recipes for inspiration. I have also signed up to your wonderful app and am enjoying making something different every night for supper from all the amazing choice. You are so lovely and sweet and such a lovely young family inspiring young people to eat like you for the animals, for health,and for the planet! Thanks again. Also just wanted to let you know that pudding is pronounced pooding! Isn't the English language so annoying sometimes with it's stupid pronunciation!😣 Your English is amazing by the way- don't mean to criticise, just thought you woul like to know.😊 Sending lots of love from London, England. And thnks again for your amazing channel. ❤
Hi, I have 2 days left of my detox and downloaded your app to continue eating healthy post detox. What peanut butter do you use as it is runny/pours. I buy an organic butter which is nothing added but nuts and is quite firm (I am in the UK). Thank you for your inspiration.
Hello, I love your recipes and would like to download your app. Unfortunately I can‘t find the price to download it. I live in Germany and would be very grateful for the Information 🙏
I would like to try this. Would you consider this challenge low fat? I would like to stick to a low fat vegan diet, at least somewhat low fat. Thanks 🙏 I appreciate you
Hi Alexandra, I really like your recipes, but I have a problem preparing this overnight oats recipe... with one cup of rolled oats and 4 cups of cashew plant milk, the consistency is almost liquid. I had to almost double the amount of rolled oats to look like yours 🤔. What did I miss :)? Thank you!
I blended cashews into a milk. The recipe in the app is for one cup oats, 4 tbsp chia seeds, 1 cup cashew nuts and 4 cup water. I doubled the amount of oats and now I have a looot of overnight oats :)))).
@@adrianamarin7658 aaah ok you made a bigger batch. Well the pudding is vey liquid before it has been to the fridge overnight to set. It can also be that the cashews are not fully broken down. But I used the same measurements but a smaller batch and it turned out like in the video, but again it’s very runny in the beginning
@@AlexandraAndersson what I wanted to say is that the proportions are wrong in the app, there are 4 cups of water to one cup of cashews, one cup of oats and 4 tbsp of chia...
It happened the same to me. Mine wasn't as thick as shown in the video and I followed the exact same recipe, I ate it anyway but the consistency was really disappointing tbh. Maybe the amount of water should be less.
Mostly the same but I remove some for her before adding salt :) But with the salad for example she can't chew raw veggies so I'll cook something different for her with the chickpeas ☺️
@@AlexandraAndersson I tried the Curry dressing + salad yesterday and my boyfriend and I were dancing in our chairs whilst eating it. :) ALEXANDRA YOUR RECIPES NEVER DISAPPOINT!
Unfortunately not this year, I had to cut corners with fewer videos and no pdf because I now also have my baby at home and not as much time. Hope you understand 😌

Which peanut butter do you use?
Hi, I just subscribed to the app but there was no place to request the 25% off, where can I find this?
Can you also share the link for your garlic press/crusher, thank you!
oooh I think it's from IKEA
I would like to try this. Would you consider this challenge low fat? I would like to stick to a low fat vegan diet, at least somewhat low fat. Thanks 🙏 I appreciate you
Everything looks amazing! 😍 I was wondering if you have the calorie counts posted anywhere?
I always ask her this question 😂
Be prepared because they are delicious but high in calories 😂❤
In the app you see calories, protein, carbs and fat 😘
@@daninglesonline1526 Yes, they seem very calorically dense. They do look delicious, so maybe for the days I'm super active. 🤔

If I ate like this, my blood glucose levels would be sky high! I don't want diabetes ever again
Why? Which of the food make it?
There is nothing in these recipes that would make blood glucose levels spike.

Mostly the same but I remove some for her before adding salt :) But with the salad for example she can't chew raw veggies so I'll cook something different for her with the chickpeas ☺️
