Nicole..... I don't know how you don't have millions of subscribers and/or your own cooking show on Food Network!! Lol truly, the way you build recipes and describe the layers of flavor is so unique and incredibly appetizing!
I’m not vegan, but I made this salad, added sweet potato chunks and topped it with a fried egg? Chefs kiss! So amazing with great contrasting flavors that all compliment each other very well.
Hey Nikki! I make a super similar shake when I don't want to cook a full meal for breakfast or lunch. I don't use pumpkin seeds so THANK YOU FOR THAT IDEA! Definitely using it in my next one! I also add a tbsp of chia seeds, tbsp of flax seed, 2 tbsp of any plant based yogurt of your choice & a 1/4 cup of rolled oats. I feel sooo good after I drink it and full for hours. No weird cravings to graze the kitchen. Thank you so much for making your content. I always go to your pages when I need fresh ideas and have cooking block. I can tell you are so intentional and make your videos and recipes with love. 💕😘
The grain bowl looks DELICIOUS. I'm definitely trying it this week. I haven't been motivated to cook recently, but that salad looks so refreshing... I'm excited to try it 😊
That salad looks amazing, I am not vegan but trying to eat more vegan dishes as I always feel better once I eat them and I do feel full afterwards, your recipes definitely give me motivation, thank you 😊
I’m so excited to make these! They look delicious and you make things so non-intimidating. And you’re delightful!
Yes, very true..
I love how you didn't use any fancy, hard to get items , but still created beautiful and creative meals :) Thank you for sharing, I will try the smoothie for sure, it looks like a blue lagoon
I'm obsessed with this smoothie. I've literally had it almost every day since you released your video. It's so delicious, it really does taste like a milkshake! 🥤
Omg thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate that! I'm so happy you liked it because I seriously make this all the time too 😊😊
This smoothie was awesome Nikki! I make a lot of smoothies, but this one was creamy and delicious. Trying to find out more way to eat blueberries in my diet and this was great!
that salad is actually a salad i would eat. it looks amazing and i want to try it!
i always stray away from food youtube now and then but i always find that your recipes are actually easy, unique, and inventive in a way a lot of other youtubers can't seem to grasp.
Wow this made me so happy! Thank you. I really appreciate you saying that because I challenge myself to create recipes that have a good a balance between delicious, easy and practical for real life, healthy, and also interesting and fun and so it means a lot to me that you picked up on that and hearing that you're excited about this recipe makes me really happy. Thank you for letting me know! I hope you enjoy it and please let me know if you're ever looking for a vegan version of something in particular. I'm always happy to help 😊 Hope you have a great day and thanks again!
thank you for such a thoughtful reply!!!
Well, you did it again, Nikki! MAGIC!💕
I will never ever be over smoothies!!!!!🥰🥰
I'm so ready for this spring salad...but, heck i'mma give them both a try..🤣😂 all in "1" magical day of spring 🌼🍀🐥. Keep putting them out and I'm going to have arsenal of dishes for my everyday life as I live it out..Thank you thank you..💐💐💐👌🏾😘
Those flowers on the salad?! Wow, they make it look so pretty and tasty!!
Camomiles prob taste interesting, now I want to try and experiment
I harvested all my carrots from my garden on Easter morning and this salad looks amazing! I'm going to make it this week :)
I made the carrot lentil salad!!! It was AMAZING!!! The flavors are perfect! Thanks Nikki ☺️♥️
Love adding almond butter to smoothies, makes such a difference! Both recipes look delicious! :)
Nut butters in smoothies actually slow down blood circulation. That's not advisable in the morning. I love to soak brown rice overnight so it cooks faster on the next day, it saves energy and it's a way to wash out any traces of unwanted substances from the rice. I love the colours of the veggies you baked!
3:40 you could also add some blue spirulina to amplify the color without omitting other ingredients, which is what I might try
Perfect for spring! LOVE the jumpsuit
That salad looks incredible ! It looks so easy to make. I cant wait to try it. Thank you for sharing it. Looking forward to more easy recipes ^_^
This salad is a game changer!!
I’ll be shopping for arugula to make that salad this afternoon. Love the tiny flower garnish. So springtimey!! ❤️🌸🌼
Both recipes look divine!! It's about 8.30 Am here in Ireland and I just want to have them both for breakfast!!
I made the blueberry milkshake smoothie - so delicious and so full of great nutrition! LOVE your videos and blog, Nikki! You're such a great help to those following the vegan lifestyle
Aw thank you so much for letting me know! I'm really happy you enjoyed it, I LOVE this smoothie ☺️☺️
What a pretty Spring salad-must try!😊💞🥗
The salad looks great! Probably would substitute something for the raisins, but I loved the idea of soaking them in the dressing before putting them on the salad. A genius hack!
That salad looks amazing 🤩. Also, I received the actual Rachel Ray garbage bowl a few years ago has a birthday gift. It is an amazing tool when cooking and meal prepping.
My boyfriend just made the smoothie and it is DELICIOUS. Now I'm heading out to buy ingredients for the salad bowl recipe! :-P
Rachel Rae garbage bowl - yes! I’ve done the same thing for years and it is one of my essential tools. I actually found a pretty pottery one at an arts fest so it always looks nice sitting out waiting for my next masterpiece. Love these recipes and will def try them both.
That salad is my favorite dish to eat! So easy to make!
AHH that makes me soooo happy! Truly 😊 I love this recipe too so I'm thrilled that you enjoyed it
Can't wait to try these recipes! Thank you!
I’ve made this salad twice now and it’s sooooo good!! I subbed in quinoa and cranberries. Thank you for my new favorite dish!
That salad looks so good and fresh and yummy. I'm a Rachael Ray fan. :)
Ouuuu I’m so looking forward to making that carrot salad!!!
I am looking forward to creating a similar salad. Thanks for the inspo! I too keep a bowl for food scraps as well as a compost "bucket" for scraps that I can't use for making veggie broth.
I’ve got some carrots that I wasn’t sure what to do with. Now I know! It’s still a little cold here in the mornings, but I think I’ll try that smoothie after an afternoon run! I love blueberries so much. And the house we moved into last fall has blueberry bushes, so this summer I can harvest my own!
I watched this video early this morning and decided to go out and get the ingredients to make the salad today for Easter. 😀 It is SO good! Excellent recipe.
I cannot wait to try both of these!!!! Such beautiful fresh recipes. Thank you!! ❤️
That salad looks SO good. It’s not even 8 here yet but I kind of want it for breakfast. 😂
OMG that salad!!!!!😍😍😍😍
I will make it tomorrow for sure!!!!😃
Yay! I’m so glad you’re excited to make this salad! It’s one of my favs ☺️
Just made the smoothie, it is DELICIOUS 💕 I struggle with making good smoothies for some reason, so thanks for this recipe!
That salad looks so amazing I will definitely be making that
That salad is going to be lunch today!
Same here!!
I make a very similar blueberry smoothie, but without the pumpkin seeds and with tahini instead of almond butter. So delicious!
I LOVE having a garbage bowl when cooking! Mainly, though, because I tend to drop my food while peeling it. That way is falls into vegetables instead of the garbage. Lol
That salad Nikki looks the bomb 💣, It made my mouth water 😋😛🙌🏻👌
Aw thanks! I LOVE this salad. Hope you enjoy!
Can't wait to make that salad!
I am excited to try both recipes! Really awesome ideas Nikki!
The salad looked sooooo good! I gave me inspiration! :) thank you
The "GB"...i too learned that from Rachel Ray. Makes it so much easier to clean up as you go and stop running to the garbage can. I'm going to make that smoothie it looks delicious!
Thank you so much for all the recipes you share with us, they are all so inspiring! I made the smoothie and it’s sooooo good and filling!
Going to get the ingredients to make this salad it looks amazing. Although I will probably make some grilled chicken to pair with. I am making this smoothie for breakfast. Thank you
these videos are so relaxing I love them
I can’t wait to try the salad. It looks delicious!
I'm excited to make that salad soon. Thanks Nikki.
Glad you "like sharing" 💗
Just got done watching the video. My oven is now pre heating.
I don't like salads 😕
Salad put that way tho......well obviously it's not your typical yard work. You got me at roasted + raw
everything looks so delish....thanks for sharing....HAPPY EASTER.....
I cant wait to try that salad!!! Omg, it looks amazing and your videos always make me feel so inspired to treat my body right and make something healthy and delicious ❤❤❤
Everything looks so good and healthy. Can’t wait to try!
I'm excited to try both of them. I've been making a smoothie with truvani vanilla protein powder, strawberries, spinach, organic apple juice, and orange juice. It's pretty good, but I'd be happier not use protein powder. Your salad looks delish, too! I just roasted carrots, Brussel sprouts, asparagus, and onions
I'll double batch that salad for sure!
Good video and great recipes Nicole that are healthy and easy.
Just made the salad for dinner and it was amazing!!! Thank you 😊
Lol, I’m watching this while hungry...now I know that I’ll be disappointed with whatever is in my fridge at the moment. Oh well! Both of these sound amazing! I’m definitely gonna try the salad/grain bowl first, but probably w quinoa (bc that’s my current grain obsession). Well, time to make lunch, aka, throw some tofu in a skillet & hope for the best. #onepannoplan ❤️ thanks for the inspiration! Needed that today.
Watching Easter morning :) The spring colors are beautiful. Excited to try these recipes, thanks for your content Nikki!
Great video! I make a house salad similar to yours, with pesto quinoa, mixed greens, and usually some avocado and sprouts. Much Love
Me and my mom love this recipe
Aw I'm so happy to hear that! Thanks for letting me know you both enjoyed it! 😊😊 Hope you're having a nice day!
I'm "Loiving" this video 😂
I just tried the smoothie and it's SOOO good! It tasted so decadent and milk-shaky, I could barely tell it was full of healthy fats and minerals. Great recipe! 😍
These recipes look sooo delicious!!
Thanks! Awesome, can’t wait to try BOTH!🥳
I remember seeing that episode aire with Rachael Ray’s scrap bowl, that must have been 15 years ago! 😅
This salad looks amazing 💛
your recipes are always a huge inspiration!
I love this kind of videos ❤️
Love!!
Ready for spring/summer with this! 🥰
Thank you ❤️
salad looks yummy ♡
Love your video as always! I know it's not about food but I would like your make up routine especially for your eyes!!
Great video! I totally learned that same tip from Rachel Ray like 20 years ago🤣👍🌱
I do the same thing with a mixing bowl for scraps! My compost soil is thriving!
Going to make this salad for sure and I want to make your blueberry oatmeal crumble:))) Jenxoxox!
Oh, my! That salada looks amazing! I’ll be trying that one first!
I’m so excited about that salad!! I’m making that today for Easter-it’s perfect.
This salad looks amazing! I’ll definitely be making this!!
Holly cow, just made this rice and its soooo good. I didn't do the onions because I have really bad acid reflux.
I'm so excited to try the in salad. I might have to make a few adjustments but in it sounds like a winner.
smoothies never get old for me I love them lol
New Subscriber

Aw thanks Katie! I hope you enjoy it!! 😊😊
PS. I'm so jealous you live in Oregon! I would love to travel there and explore one day. Looks beautiful there!
This is now my go to smoothie it was so delicious
AH! That's awesome to hear! I love this recipe too and I make it all the time so I'm glad you liked it too 😊😊
Great recipes, thanks! I've also heard frozen zucchini is also great in smoothies as you it's flavorless. Haven't tried it yet, as keep forgetting to buy. 💕🇿🇦
Making that smoothie today! :)
Hi Nikki! I'm always happy to see your videos in my feed! They look amazing, and ❤️ beautiful. :) I hope this message finds you well.
love your recipes!
Thank you Kareema! I'm so glad 😊😊 Hope you're having a good day so far!
I thought for sure that smoothie was going to have blue spirilina in it!
Mmmmmm those carrots look absolutely deVine!!! I am going to try with aquafaba instead of oil.
Yum!!!! That salad 🤤 Do you think the salad will taste just as yummy without oil?
That salad 😍 hard to choose Nikki. Everything looks sooooooo good 🧡
Hello Nikki! Love all your recipes. Your videos are so enjoyable. 💕from Ky.
