Lovely!!! This October 13th I will celebrate 30 years vegan!!! If I could do it in the 90s.. only 13 years old and IN MEXICO- ANY. ONE. can do this nowadays!!! Thank you for being vegan! 💚🌱
One thing I looooove using the entire broccoli for, is pesto! I just do a basic pesto, yk, pine nuts, basil, oil, lemon, salt while the broccoli is roasting in the oven. When it's finished, I throw the stems into the pesto, pulse that quickly, cook up some pasta and serve it with the florets and the pesto. Sososososo good! Gotta try!
I literally JUST diced up my broccoli stems and was so proud of myself for eating them up instead of chucking them. I sauteed them with diced zucchini, onion, garlic, tomato, and field roast sausage.🥦💚 Also, when it comes to oat milk, I love Oatly most, but I just learned that, at least in my area, oat milk is the most expensive plant milk in the store. But it would be THE cheapest to make from scratch because oats are so affordable. So I bought some cheesecloth and I'm so excited to give it a go. Trying to pinch pennies over here so hopefully the homemade oat milk tastes just as good 🤞
Inside tip from an Instacart shopper put that you don’t want produce bags on the suggestion/request for each item. It takes longer on your end but it will ensure that the shopper sees it because if you put it in the shopping notes they don’t see it till check out. Or text them directly. If you are texting them, well they just suck.
SweetPotatoSoul check those bags to see if they are compostable! A lot of the bags in the produce section, especially at fancy grocery stores are compostable now. :)
Im so happy there are people like you on UA-cam. Real inspiration for so many vegans and people who are interested in transitioning or even want to try out a few vegan meals💚 Such a positive energy🌱
I’ve been obsessed with plums lately. Both black and red ones. Since recently becoming vegan, they’ve been great additions to my smoothies and just as a snack in general. I’ll be sad when they’re not in season anymore.
I've been obsessed with using Thrive and Imperfect Foods, then I get everything else I need from the grocery store when I have to go for my prescriptions. This is the cheapest, least time consuming and least stressful way I've found to grocery shop!
I’ve been doing a lot of stress baking, so all the random bags I have laying around have been perfect for freezing bread and other things I’ve been making!
“Sister J” thank you for the inspiration and thank you for the ‘gratitude prayer’. I really appreciate your enthusiastic presentations and all the words of encouragement . Even your very robust appetite is encouraging.! You have helped me to stay on the path of eating well! I will spread the word by what’s on my plate.😉
I have been using instacart since before the pandemic and I think they have gone up on prices but I need the servicce because I am a single working mom. So its very convenient but yeah the plastic bags and all the bad produce choices is hard. I have been given rotten fruit or the greens look wilted, but I deal with it. I also try to limit my shopping to one store like Wegmans because they have more Vegan and Vegetarian foods also the produce is better.
Mushroom suggestion! Baby portobellos quartered and tossed with a bit of salt if you use it and some spices then roasted in an air fryer for 15 to 20 are amazing. So flavorful! On salads, keep extra in the freezer and add to pasta or stir fry.
Thank you for the Flaxseed, Ezekiel bread tip, your chewing was cute, I will check it out. It’s been a great exceptional strawberry season, your video made me grateful for my CSA farm box. Just bought a jar of Golden latte paste from Happy Girl and made a tea with coconut milk and I was in heaven! Rancho Girdi has heirloom beans that haves turned me into a bean snob. I’ve been Vegan for 8 months tomorrow and your documentary Invisible Vegan and UA-cam channel has been a huge part of my journey. I love you!!! 🌺 thank you for your content...
Yes oyster mushrooms!! Haha I tried them for the first time in Taiwan (and I’ve been obsessed ever since) and haven’t been able to find them in the states where I live. I’m gonna keep looking. 💗💗
I feel like being an adult on a whole food plant based diet is being excited about which new green you're going to buy for the week, haha. Also, I love that you touched on being picky about your produce because I am too! I feel like the shoppers on these apps may not be as fully equipped as we are about choosing the freshest and best produce. Personally, I can go through an entire bin at the grocery store in the quest to find what I deem is the best produce item for me. #firstworldproblems But I am still thankful that these apps exist.
Yes, same here!!! I can relate. The shoppers are working so quickly, so I get it. But I do try to avoid buying greens from the apps for that reason. Picky lady over here!
So glad I watched this. I'm not a vegan but love how creative you get with meals when you are. Great ideas. Definitely trying the bok choy in a stir fry!
I am a vegan holistic nutitionist who often talks about the connection between food and MENTAL health (something many people overlook, just had a talk on my channel with Billy Bob Thornton about veganism) and I love this. How I eat now is wildly different then when I first transitioned in 2005. Love your growth and insight !
I am a year and 2 months vegan and feeling amazing and love your videos for inspiration and new ideas on how to prepare different meals. Thank you for making these videos for the newbies yahhhh! Oh it’s so hard to find oyster mushrooms in Florida 😩
I use those produce bags for my small garbage cans (like my bathroom garbage). I do try to avoid them but lately it is hard to avoid. I use small flowerpots as garbage in the bedrooms and use those really little bags from bread, wraps, etc for those trash cans.
I love listening to you speak, you make me feel so calm and make vegan food so approachable . I put the broccoli stems in the Vitamix with a baked potato, nutritional yeast and broth and seasoning and blend it for 7 minutes to make a super easy broccoli “cheese” soup.
i totally relate to grocery shopping being overwhelming. i find going to farmers markets to be much more calm, the fresh air, shorter lines and faster checkout, and no carts!
Stalks of any veggie can always be saved for veggie broth :) also if you chop up the stalks nice and small they are actually great in stir fry as well.
I take most all of my veggie scraps, like broccoli stems or onion peels and put them into a container in the freezer. When it is full I make a yummy veggie broth. It always tastes a little bit different each time which is a nice switch up. My Grandma taught me that over 20 years ago and I still do it to this day. Love you Grandma ❤️.
I reuse my produce bags to cover herb clippings I put in a jar of water in the fridge so that they don’t dry up. They can be used multiple times in this way. I will also use them to dispose of my cat’s waste.
I love that you take into account how your baby feels about the texture of their food. For me texture is everything and I wish that was something people took into account for me so that’s super cute!
Thanks for the tip about the Manna Bread. I decided to order it as the treat for the week, along with fresh peaches. I dice up broccoli stalks for sautes or crudites and use the rough, wooden bits of the stems in veggie broth. Trying to use the whole plant!
Relatable. I feel like a monster without my matcha latte, especially now that I have a frother. I mean, come on. GAME. CHANGER. Period. Full stop. I also recently discovered Silk Half & Half (half coconut and oat milk) and it really makes waking up worth actually getting up. As someone who struggles with depression, sometimes "the small things," like an oat & coconut milk-hybrid matcha latte sweetened with Canadian maple syrup, can make all the difference for a brighter day. ♡
I love your videos!! You helped me figure out how to enjoy being plant based back in March 2018 when I was starting out-and here we are today! I am so thankful for you! You are such a vibrant person. ✨✨✨
I always use the broccoli stalks in my vegetable soup. I finely chop them and they taste good. They freeze well too, so you can keep them in the freezer until you have a dish you can put them in.
Broccoli Stalks! Yes! Totally edible! Peel the skin and slice or dice up and use EVERYWHERE! When my kids were little, we used to go to a Chinese restaurant and they utilized the stalks (cubed) in their Kung Pao! I also shred and add to stir fry or chili or marinara for pasta. Make broccoli soup! No need to waste sis, plenty of ways to consume! Xoxo
I too, am so grateful for being able to have groceries delivered to my house, especially now. I appreciate every and any fruit or veggie I can get now because somebody had to farm it in the middle of a pandemic. Thank god we still have tomatoes and avocados. And don't forget to tip extra to the delivery person during this time, if you can. Cheers!
You are smart to keep changing your produce choices. My allergist told me to do that...especially with nuts. So don’t do a lot of soy continuously because you can develop an allergy for it like me. I used to eat and drink a lot of soy...it was at the top of the list along with dairy. We have a produce store that I love to go to because they get in unusual products... and I love to sample new things. I find myself buying a lot of root veggies and different kinds of greens. We live in a hurricane zone...in fact we are expecting one tomorrow night...but root veggies are very versatile either cooked or raw. I can throw them on the grill if we lose electricity. Keeping fingers crossed and my eyes on God praying that it shifts further west before it gets here without hurting the islands. It is time to move.
Looks like a nice haul! I'll have to give oat milk a try. First world problems are still problems, and I love your recognition of and attitude toward that fact. As far as food produce waste like the broccoli stalks, I'll chop them smaller and store in a container in the freezer. End of each week I'll easily have enough onion ends, stalks, and peels. I cook them in the water filled pressure cooker to extract the nutrients. Makes for a simple, nutritious veggie broth to cook up the soups, lentils, or pasta casseroles. Healthier than store bought sodium packed broths (and cheaper for sure!). I then toss the spent scraps in the compost out back.
Peel the stalks, cut matchsticks from them and use them in a stir fry. Or use them in a vegetable soup chopped up really finely. Or in a soup that you’re going to blend (like with zucchini, broccoli and potatoes, with vegetable broth and nutritional yeast :D)
By the way that is a cabbage looper. It is harmless. They just usually punch holes in the leaves of cruciferous vegetables. They don't really take away anything from the broccoli.
I am so with you on the plastic bag problem, and thank you for bringing it up with your viewers. Most folks still lack such consciousness despite the pretty much irreversible global plastic waste crisis.
Oatly is totally our favorite Oat milk brand. We get it usually at Sprouts, thankfully they have been in stock at our store. Thank you for suggesting the Ezekiel bread. We usually get the orange bag also but it is totally hard and dense. Giving the Flax a try thanks to your suggestion!
I use Instacart and for the most part my produce has been on point but it also depends on who is shopping. I find many young men are not the best at picking out great produce but the ladies usually get it right and pay attention to my requests for specific fruits/vegetables.
I’m too picky to grocery shop online and I hate when they say pick a backup in case the item you chose isn’t available...I just mask your and go to the store. I am interested in trying oat milk 🤔
Hey Jenne! I know those bags are annoying, but I’m pretty sure those green ones are compostable! They are at my co-op :). For broccoli stalks, my husband shaves down there course outsides and we eat the centers, they have an awesome taste to them, also like a radish!
Re broccoli stalks just peel and slice into battens. The other trick with broccoli so it bright, bright green is cook in sparkling mineral water and a bit of salt. Pour off water and put broccoli aside to add at the end. It will be bright green even if you cook past crisp broccoli.
I totally understand the dislike for plastic produce bags - mesh bags all the way for me too. However, as a grocery store employee that works alongside a delivery shopper system, I know that the direction to use plastic produce bags is often not within the shopper's control. At least in my store (TN is probably very different from CA though), all the shoppers must use those bags, regardless. I'm not sure of the ins-and-outs of why/what circumstances are exceptions to that rule, though.
The bags can be recycled at most stores. In usual times anyway. I think all the bins aren't available because of Covid. I hate them too but people give me bad looks when I try to use reusable produce bags now and even regular reusable bags! Also, I'm surprised you didn't make your own oatmilk. lol
OMG. So here in the UK, I shopped from the expensive online Ocado, because the other stores weren’t stocking some of my favourite vegan foods. Oatly cream was one of them. I feel ya sister... first world problems!
Thanks for explaining what you use the different vegetables for and how you cook them! I hope to try Bok Choy this week - never cooked with it before, ahhhh
When the pandemic first started I did InstaCart for a little bit as a shopper and they make you package the produce that way. That’s why the girl did that. Lol. It’s supposed to be for sanitary purposes or something.
Girl, I’m loving you videos. I’m from New York also. Now I’m living in Pennsylvania. But I’ll be in New York at through and through till the end. Keep up the good work
My boyfriend is legit obsessed with oatly! I've been drinking it for the last few weeks and love it, but I wanted to move to something a little bit more clean so I'm making almond milk now at home and using that. Miss the oatly but I'll focus on making a better almond milk I guess 😋
You and your family are Blessed to be able to afford healthy foods. Thanks for sharing your healthy journey with others and for sharing your recipes. Blessings to you and your little family. You look so pretty...love your hair...the style looks good on you! You keep Rocking!
My health food store now has oat milk in glass bottles made in my country. I love it. And girl I hear you with your matcha Latte. I'm the same with my Chai Latte!
At our home we make a list after planning our food and make another list of possible substitutes. Our grocery store constantly is out of something on our list. It’s fine but man finding tofu is a struggle, so any other meatless alternative is difficult.
dumb bell yep! It’s extremely disrespectful and I tend to give them a look and then move if they’re not smart enough to of social cues to get that I need you to back the hell up! It’s terrible shopping now. Bc a lot of loons don’t believe this plague is real and that’s a lot to do with who’s leading this country and his minions.
I work in a grocery store. The amount of times I need to tell adults to please move away from my customers is irritating. Like can you please not breath down someone elses back. The seniors and regular adults in my area are so stupid. A lot of my regulars are smart and sweet people. I just hope everyone can stay safe in my hometown. Knock on wood we haven't struggled with cases in our town. Also avoid costo. They got rid of the physical distancing crew and it is crazy inside there.
Marley smh that’s terrible that you have to tell grown ups to follow the rules! I do not like being near ppl especially with the plague now, but I feel humanity has lost its humanity. And that’s the sad part and may God keep your state and hometown low with the numbers. I’m in NYC and right now we’re at 1 percent which is good but it’ll go up bc ppl aren’t listening and don’t care!
One of my revelations in quarantine is grocery delivery. I knew it existed, obvs, but didn't use it. Lord...it's a gift. Between Instacart and Thrive, I don't think I'll go inside a grocery store again. And I actually save money, too, because I 'm only buying what's on my list and not being tempted by stuff I didn't think I "needed" until I saw it on the shelf.
I don't do instacart the prices are marked up addition to the delivery fee and tips the cost out of pocket isn't in my budget but I'm doing Wal-Mart and Amazon Prime
Have you tried Malk oat milk? it's so delicious and it has better ingredients than Oatly! It's literally just organic oats, water, and sea salt! 10/10!!!
Lovely!!! This October 13th I will celebrate 30 years vegan!!! If I could do it in the 90s.. only 13 years old and IN MEXICO- ANY. ONE. can do this nowadays!!! Thank you for being vegan! 💚🌱
Wow! What a story. ❤️
@@Mbheather88 Thank you! 💕
That’s great!! ❤️
What a strong person you are! Love that story!
Aww.. thanks again...! It feels surreal but here I am! Zero deficiencies, Zero guilt! 💚💚💚
One thing I looooove using the entire broccoli for, is pesto! I just do a basic pesto, yk, pine nuts, basil, oil, lemon, salt while the broccoli is roasting in the oven. When it's finished, I throw the stems into the pesto, pulse that quickly, cook up some pasta and serve it with the florets and the pesto. Sososososo good! Gotta try!
Oh! I love that idea! Thank you! Baby J will love that too ;)
@@SweetPotatoSoul Nawww😍😍, that comment made me feel so good, you would not believe it!
What is yk?
@@midhatkhan6166 "You know" xD
abc def 🤗 thank you
Jenné: "I'm not fancy"
Also Jenné: "Y'all it has been two days since my last matcha latte 🥺"
JK! Love your work and yes Oatly is the best!! 🍵
Haha!! Not fancy at all 💅
I literally JUST diced up my broccoli stems and was so proud of myself for eating them up instead of chucking them.

@@brandonxmoody but most of them don't really compost. After years they still are there.
I just adore her! I leave her channel on in the background for lovely vibes, just love her voice!
In my area plastic bags are recycled into park benches.
Love that!! Such a nice way to upcycle.
Where's this?? That's amazing!
Im so happy there are people like you on UA-cam. Real inspiration for so many vegans and people who are interested in transitioning or even want to try out a few vegan meals💚 Such a positive energy🌱
Hey loves! Hope you had a great week. What did you buy at the grocery store this week?
I’ve been obsessed with plums lately. Both black and red ones. Since recently becoming vegan, they’ve been great additions to my smoothies and just as a snack in general. I’ll be sad when they’re not in season anymore.
@@slapaho Then just go with the dry ones, they are super delicious as well!
Or you can buy frozen ones or freeze them yourself!
We stocked up on strawberries! One thing I am glad I don't buy is nappies! (Australian/UK for diapers). Fluffy cloth bums all the way ❤
@@slapaho Same! They've been so good, haven't they?
@@chloecrawford5426 Yes for strawberries and fluffy cloth bums! We cloth diaper too :)
Greatful to be alive! The struggle is real being Vegan and quarantined.... Thank God for frozen produce.
Amen!
Yes I always keep frozen Brussel sprouts, spinach and blueberries on deck!
TheTonyaNicole frozen spinach slaps.
I've been obsessed with using Thrive and Imperfect Foods, then I get everything else I need from the grocery store when I have to go for my prescriptions. This is the cheapest, least time consuming and least stressful way I've found to grocery shop!
I'm stoked to see Ezekiel bread in your grocery haul. Everyone keeps giving me a hard time for buying $6 bread but it's SO GOOD!
I luv how you explain the what, why and the benefits of your grocieries.
I have a new list. Thank you so much! Keep them coming!
I’ve been doing a lot of stress baking, so all the random bags I have laying around have been perfect for freezing bread and other things I’ve been making!
“Sister J” thank you for the inspiration and thank you for the

broccoli stems, carrots, and tofu in dumpling wrappers is the best!!
My husband loves the produce bags 🤮, but I use them to store my scraps until I make veggie stock with them when I get stuck with them
Thank you for pointing out the grim reality of grocery shopping 🛍 nowadays. Your awesome and so inspiring ✨

How do you store your mushrooms to keep them until you cook them?
I slice the broccoli stems on the bias very thinly and stir fry them or eat the slices raw with dip.

I'm not sure of the ins-and-outs of why/what circumstances are exceptions to that rule, though.
I love how excited you get by mushrooms. 😅 Makes me want some! Also: Oatly is the best! (Other brands just don’t steam well.)
I need to try Oatly. I agree about trying some of those mushrooms
The bags can be recycled at most stores. In usual times anyway. I think all the bins aren't available because of Covid. I hate them too but people give me bad looks when I try to use reusable produce bags now and even regular reusable bags! Also, I'm surprised you didn't make your own oatmilk. lol
OMG. So here in the UK, I shopped from the expensive online Ocado, because the other stores weren’t stocking some of my favourite vegan foods. Oatly cream was one of them.
I feel ya sister... first world problems!
your skin glowing 💜😍 sending positive vibes
My weekly grocery shopping trip is both the most exciting and anxiety inducing moment of the week for me.
Thanks for explaining what you use the different vegetables for and how you cook them! I hope to try Bok Choy this week - never cooked with it before, ahhhh
I loved this video, seeing you a bit sillier. Always a fan!
Love the blouse! You are starting to look like a Californian! :)
I love this concept! Groceries, recipes, cravings, pet peeves!
Thinly slice the stalks and roast them as broccoli chips. They are delicious.
When the pandemic first started I did InstaCart for a little bit as a shopper and they make you package the produce that way. That’s why the girl did that. Lol. It’s supposed to be for sanitary purposes or something.
Your skin is glowing and vibrant!
Girl, I’m loving you videos. I’m from New York also. Now I’m living in Pennsylvania. But I’ll be in New York at through and through till the end. Keep up the good work
Broccoli stalks are delicious raw with a tiny bit it salt. Cut them like carrot sticks for a great snack!!
My boyfriend is legit obsessed with oatly! I've been drinking it for the last few weeks and love it, but I wanted to move to something a little bit more clean so I'm making almond milk now at home and using that. Miss the oatly but I'll focus on making a better almond milk I guess 😋
Take the broccoli stalk and use it to make or add to veggies broth.
We've got a super cool mushroom guy at our farmer's market! Now I want more mushrooms.
You and your family are Blessed to be able to afford healthy foods. Thanks for sharing your healthy journey with others and for sharing your recipes. Blessings to you and your little family. You look so pretty...love your hair...the style looks good on you! You keep Rocking!
My health food store now has oat milk in glass bottles made in my country. I love it. And girl I hear you with your matcha Latte. I'm the same with my Chai Latte!
Do you prefer store - bought oat milk or to make your own??
Love your channel. Very informative and always great ideas.
At our home we make a list after planning our food and make another list of possible substitutes. Our grocery store constantly is out of something on our list. It’s fine but man finding tofu is a struggle, so any other meatless alternative is difficult.
Love to see a pantry tour😍
I agree. I hate shopping for food nowadays bc of the shortages.
dumb bell yep! It’s extremely disrespectful and I tend to give them a look and then move if they’re not smart enough to of social cues to get that I need you to back the hell up! It’s terrible shopping now. Bc a lot of loons don’t believe this plague is real and that’s a lot to do with who’s leading this country and his minions.
I work in a grocery store. The amount of times I need to tell adults to please move away from my customers is irritating. Like can you please not breath down someone elses back. The seniors and regular adults in my area are so stupid. A lot of my regulars are smart and sweet people. I just hope everyone can stay safe in my hometown. Knock on wood we haven't struggled with cases in our town. Also avoid costo. They got rid of the physical distancing crew and it is crazy inside there.
Marley smh that’s terrible that you have to tell grown ups to follow the rules! I do not like being near ppl especially with the plague now, but I feel humanity has lost its humanity. And that’s the sad part and may God keep your state and hometown low with the numbers. I’m in NYC and right now we’re at 1 percent which is good but it’ll go up bc ppl aren’t listening and don’t care!
One of my revelations in quarantine is grocery delivery. I knew it existed, obvs, but didn't use it. Lord...it's a gift. Between Instacart and Thrive, I don't think I'll go inside a grocery store again. And I actually save money, too, because I 'm only buying what's on my list and not being tempted by stuff I didn't think I "needed" until I saw it on the shelf.
I don't do instacart the prices are marked up addition to the delivery fee and tips the cost out of pocket isn't in my budget but I'm doing Wal-Mart and Amazon Prime
Jenne, I just watched a video about a bulk food shop in LA called Tare. They use 2 paper bags instead of plastic!
Yes! Oatly is the best!
Have you tried Malk oat milk? it's so delicious and it has better ingredients than Oatly! It's literally just organic oats, water, and sea salt! 10/10!!!
Good idea to mix up greens
How have I not watched your videos before?🤦♀️ automatic notification bell! Can't wait to see the next!
