LEt me just say...I am NEVER bored by your repeat smoothies and meals!! Do not let the nay-sayers get you down!! Keep the same same coming our way!! We need the awesome repeatition to keep us motivated!!
I’m so thankful for you !! I started my journey 9 weeks ago. There is no way I will go back to my old ways. I’m a 62 year young lady that is on the right path now 🧡 with this life style and exercise I’m getting younger.
That is so amazing! My mom made the jump to a plant based diet many years ago and is feeling great well into her 70s, doing great and not taking any medication or anything! Happy you for you!!
Amazing!! Well done! 💚 Have a look on youtube for Young At Any Age. They also turned vegan in their 60s, I think. But, of course, continue to follow Simnett Nutrition, all his recipes are delicious and they are a joy to watch!
I'll NEVER get bored of your smoothie drinks or smoothie bowls! Yay to adventures with Derek and Crystal! You guys should come to Hawaii for a warmer swim and delicious local vegan yumminess. (I'm from Oahu....hehehe...)
How do you always stay so positive and happy? Whenever I click I always know it’s going to be good. It’s really nice to watch, especially during lockdown here in Australia. The food is delicious, you guys are great. And the videos really help. Thank you 😊
Great question! I am pretty positive naturally but I like to have fun in my videos because I know for a lot of people (especially in the last year) its a bit of an escape. We are lucky to live near nature in a small town so I like to showcase that for others. I love what I do and feel very fortunate I get to do this for a living and I really want others to feel good when they watch my content. I hope that answers your question :)
I found this channel two days ago, I have already watched most of your videos and decided to try vegan lifestyle for a month with my girlfriend! Hopefully we gonna fall in love with it and stick to it. Thanks Derek for sharing all of these with us! I am sooo looking forward 😍
I am a vegan but a lot of times i forget its really important and easy to eat healthier, amd watching your videos helps me remember that so thank you!!
Have to agree with Johny K. The cold is so amazing! It takes every problem you have when you go in the water and takes it away, it makes you feel alive and healthy! Been doing the cold bath/showers for about a year now, and now I can't live without it, all thanks to Wim hof! And thanks guys for all the great content, keep up the good work for the world. All love♥️
I love this new style of video, with "flashbacks" to the kitchen that enrich a narrative of your days spent outside. Very engaging and original, makes the video very dynamic and creates a very very nice narrative! And btw, I DO eat raw salad leaves and love that...with no shame! Keep the great content coming, a hug to you and Crystal :-)
I can say that cold water has easily saved my life. So many times when life has been over the top stressful I just calmly went under the cold and felt at peace. It's almost like medidation dare I say. Edit: That was so relaxing for me, no vacations this year so it literally took me away. The places you got there are out of this world! Thanks for having us with you guys 🙏🏻
Wow, that is amazing. I always feel much better after getting out. I would have trouble getting in if I wasn't enjoying life though. If I knew it was the medicine, I would probably be able to though! Glad you enjoyed the video, none for me either, that's why we are adventuring around our home so much.
Hi there! Just a quick tip on marinating tofu....if you drop your tofu pieces into a pot of boiling water and cook for 1-2 minutes, then put those tofu pieces into your Tupperware with the marinade, the tofu will actually absorb more of the marinade and will taste even better when you go to grill it. Just FYI. 😊
I apply a similar concept when I air fry tofu. I air fry it first, then toss it in a tub of marinade and it absorbs flavors super fast while also avoiding a mess in my air fryer. Will have to try the boiling method sometime.
I absolutely love your content! I have been vegan for over six years now, doing it for the animals and not for my health. Your videos have brought a positive part to my day and has inspired me to focus more on my nutrition. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your health insights, your positivity, and for you and Crystal being so genuine! Love you guys! 🥰
Derek, I've been watching your videos for I think at least 5 years or so now. You have really improved the formatting and structure of your videos, and the quality and content of your videos has remained consistently strong. Keep it up man!
You guys are so adorable, so fun, so interesting... I never bore of any of your videos (and I've watched you for over 5 years now) -- always entertaining AND informative! Thank you for being such a wonderful, healthy representation for a healthy, enjoyable, realistic vegan lifestyle!
Derek, you're one of the reasons I made the switch to vegan. So many vegans are but skin and bone, but watching your videos has me convinced that my gains will be safe and sound! Thank you so much, lots of love from Finland. PS: Would love to see macros of your meals. The videos where you explored the nutritional information of different foods were awesome too!
3 things: - the "making memories" philosophy is amazing. - your food always look so colorful and delicious ❤️. - Crystal content is precious! Awesome video 🙌🥰
Your editing skills are next level Derek! I always liked them, but you have improved so much over the years. Well done! Very proud of both for you for going in the cold water. Definitely not a fan, but I try to finish my showers with some cold water. To slowly get used to it. So maybe one day I can and will dive into cold water as well haha.
Just popping in for the “algorithm” and to let you know Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce is vegan as well! I dip roasted cauliflower in it and it’s delicious. Super high sodium but great for an occasional treat.
Small tip, when you want to grill something in the griller machine (the press stuff that makes grill marks), sometimes you can use parchment paper so that you can avoid cleaning it, thus it will stay non-stick a longer time ..
love u both ❤ im amazed at your lifestyle, i've been vegan for a year now. You really set the example of the healthy life i want to live in every aspect. The forest adventure looked fun and beautiful, thank you for your videos!!
Just clicked on this video after not seeing your uploads for a bit, and man...the video quality looks really good! Thanks for the full day of eating vlog, always getting ideas for my next meal from watching these!
Maple and tahini dressing is a revelation for me. It makes salads so much easier to get down when you're eating a LOT of veggies. Keen to try that buffalo tofu, will keep an eye out for a suitable sauce for sure. Keep it up Derek, really appreciate you putting out such awesome content.
right there with you Derek, been having smoothies bananas or fruit oatmeal for breakfast basically every single day for years and still cant get enough of any of them
Charlene watching from Edmonton. I am partially vegan - incorporate lots of vegetables, greens, vegan milks and yogurts. Avoid highly processed seed oils. Smile watching you two.
Wonderful entertainment! great meal ideas, as always, super fun times! Keep sending more! and I cannot figure out for the life of me WHO is hitting the thumbsdown button!! Is that just a mis-click from their mouse?? Seriously, what is there NOT to like abt this?!! Ignore them, Derek, and keeping making great content.
I've been trying to eat more plant based and your videos are definitely my #1 motivation! Especially since I'm starting my fitness journey after losing about 44 pounds, I really need to build some muscle so I take a lot of inspiration from your meals. I've been a pescetarian for a while now but lately I've been having more and more fully plant based days!
Greetings from Michigan! Just want to say I look forward to your videos because they are so genuine! You and Crystal are great together! I’m here for the recipes, the adventures and the advice. Never stop the smoothies!
I got in cold small rivers this holiday ... Black Forest : 9 Not as lovely like Crystal but as naturally I was reaching. And the first time raw food eating 14 days. Nice! Thank you for sharing your time *
You are a natural person, a vegetarian, and a bodybuilder. You are really cool. I am a vegan bodybuilder in Korea, and I want to do well on TH-cam, so I will watch your videos and learn.
Another fab video. Loved it. I'm new to plant based living (half year) so any and all tips is soooo appreciated. I am a women in her late 50's and am feeling better everyday. Love these recipes and a day-in-a-life segments.Oh and forgot to say, I never get bored with smoothies or any other recipes you make. They are inspiring.
What a beautiful day 💕 You don't have to defrost those peas if you are going to eat the dish later. They will defrost and be ready to eat when you are ready 😎
I’am so thankful i have found you’re channel Derek. I’m going on Starting 2 weeks now ne doing this plant foods. I’m learning so much from you as vegan! I’ve been eating oatmeal filled with blueberries and cinnamon pretty much every day . Thank you for sharing your recipes

Me too! I checked it out first though.
Man you are by far THE most positive and motivating guy on TH-cam. I´ve been following you for years and I´m not even a vegan.

The handy work of God’s hand is seen in all of nature. Awesome experience. Beautiful.

The cinematography of this one is fantastic. You can really tell you put in time on the back end.

Just popping in for the “algorithm” and to let you know Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce is vegan as well! I dip roasted cauliflower in it and it’s delicious. Super high sodium but great for an occasional treat.
Thanks Connie! we have tried that and its really good too!
Sauce: so making this for lunch today! Loving the adventure inspiration! Well done Crystal!
Small tip, when you want to grill something in the griller machine (the press stuff that makes grill marks), sometimes you can use parchment paper so that you can avoid cleaning it, thus it will stay non-stick a longer time ..
The camera view when you sat for lunch was so beautiful, it looked like a green screen. Such a great camera angle!
I got chill bumps just watching y'all get in that water.
Thank you for the inspo! Also well done Crystal on the cold water dip!

Smoothies never get old at our house. They are so good and we feel best on days when we have one.
You two always make my day better.

I agree! Golden kiwis are so good!
I love your channel!! You two have amazing energy! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
You can eat the skin of your kiwis, especially the skin of golden kiwis because of is soft and have no hairs. 👌🥝
