Hi friends🙌🏽 We R Back! I dedicated a lot of time to creating this video, and I genuinely believe it can be helpful for you.❤
Let me know what you want to see next👇🏽
I always love you meal prep videos!!! Your recipes are easy to make and really good!
Natalie and I were in Culinary school together.. she is a very authentic and conscientious young lady! She’s that same girl with “the eye of a tiger” and heart for people. That is her secret sauce.. and that awesome George has become her most secret of weapons. I love how he loves and supports you! You both inspire me.
🥹 Aw you are such an amazing human. I’m truly grateful for all your support and for always believing in me🫶🏽 ILYSM 🫶🏽
Appreciate the transparency as not just Business Minded People but Truly Genuine Honest Good Human Beings 🙏🏾
🫶🏽 I’m an open book🫶🏽
❤ love the authenticity Natalie embodies! no matter what she does she is always so genuine ❤
Thank you so much that means the world to me🫶🏽
Love how open and genuine you both are! Thank you for sharing your journey, and being such an inspiration!
You guys should podcast like this. I’d listen to anything you make
What should we talk about 👀?!?
Loved this! I’m a new-er vegan coach and it’s been a grind. This is making me feel inspired again to keep going. ❤
Keep going! 🫶🏽🙌🏽
You are super impressive, Natalie! I'm one of your loyal fans. 💚
Thank you so much beautiful. Your support means the world to me.🫶🏽
Thank you so much for sharing this !! I have been a follower of yours for about a year and a half now and your content has inspired, motivated, and driven me. As a natural vegan bikini athlete myself you have been my biggest role model and I can’t wait to see what you and George do next!!!
Aw🥹 I’m so flattered. Thank you so much beautiful 🤩
That means the world to me🫶🏽 I’m so happy you have found the channel helpful 🫶🏽
Great video! I've followed Natalie for years because she's authentic and has integrity and is so inspiring. I love her recipes and love to support her on her journey. Keep it up!
Thank you so much beautiful! I appreciate you so much.
This is very interesting! I'm not going to start my own business but I just love watching both of you because, as you said, you are both really genuine and I feel like I'm getting the real you. And I really appreciate that you respond to my comments and answer my questions. Also, making a living through social media and the onlines is still so outside the box that I live in so that's always really cool for me to see. Not to mention to see just how successful (and profitable) you've become with it.
Thank you so much for always taking the time to comment and engage. I really appreciate your support over the years 🫶🏽 you are amazing!
Thank you so much for the support as always. It always means so much to know that you are watching and finding value in these videos!
Both of you are soooooo impressive and have clearly built a great brand on a foundation of integrity and trust. Power team! 💜
Thank you so much for your kind words.
Awe thank you so much! Thanks for watching!
I enjoy watching your videos and making your recipes. I was browsing your cookbook looking for something sweet when I settled on the gingerbread cookie recipe. While watching this video, I received the updated link. I downloaded and noticed that you updated the gingerbread recipe. I guess it was meant to be. I found liv body through your link. I agree it is the best vegan protein. I also placed order from greenbites after seeing a post. I'm glad I don't have a location nearby as I'd be there daily.! Thanks for all you do!
No way?!? Omggggggg that’s amazing 🤩 what a coincidence😆 🙌🏽 yes 🙌🏽I updated the recipe, and now it’s just right. I felt that the old recipe was too dry and I wasn’t 💯 happy with it. I’m always trying to bring you guys the best🫶🏽happy cooking👩🏽🍳
The most honest advice and tips for content creators ❤ a podcast is much needed so we can listen to it for our cardio session 😂
Aw thank you so much! What topics should we talk about?!👀
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef I love interview related. I'd love to see you have guest speakers (for example, natural bikini competitors) sharing their journey on your podcast
loved this video! so in depth, so honest, thanks for being so generous with this type of information.
This video is very helpful! I love all of your videos! I appreciate your transparency. You both seem like very genuine and kind people! 💖
Thanks for the great tips! I’m excited to get your cookbook and just got my first shipment of LivBody protein yesterday, which I learned of thanks to you!
Thank you so much beautiful! I can’t wait for you to try the recipes. 🫶🏽
Loved this!!! Not many people talk about the mechanics of being a creator.
Could you talk more about the legal side of things? I’ve been thinking of doing a cookbook but don’t know what legal things have to get done or how the money needs to be taxed
Do it! I used a platform called send owel to host my cookbooks. There’s many others out there. They are great at providing me with tax info at the end of each month. I highly recommend getting a financial adviser to help you with your individual situation.
Thank you guys so much for sharing all this!!! This was amazing! We love you two and I just love your TH-cam channel! ❤
Thank you so much 🙌🏽 I really appreciate you
Thank you so much for the support and all of the love!!
I love the transparency! Interesting video. 👍🏼
Wow loved this! Straight to the point and no bs, thanks for sharing! Also love how your husband is clearly your #1 supporter !!
Thank you so much! Yes, he is the best🫶🏽
Yessss. I’m lucky…she’s my number one supporter too!!
You guys are such an awesome team! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much 🫶🏽 I really appreciate you.
Oh my gosh, George!! Talking about pouring your heart, soul, tears and everything into a YT episode and being like... oh damn, this is THE ONE! then it's like crickets 😂 feel that in my soul 😅🤣 thanks for the tips, guys!! Keep inspiring us ✨️
Hahaha it’s an emotional roller coaster!
Yes 😅 I happens🤣
Thank you so much for all the support
Me encanta Natalie! Desde España te sigo desde tus comienzos. Me encantó ver tu primer video. Te siguen brillando los ojos como el primer dia y eso es lo que transmites por tu canal. Gracias por vuestra sinceridad y transparencia. Besos.
Gracias linda🫶🏽 te aprecio mucho
Your books are going to be my next mini splurge when I hit one year at my current job.
I can’t wait for you to try the recipes
I’m so glad my binge watching while cooking or cleaning and my asinine comments are helping 😂
Anyway this is soooo helpful and demystified the whole thing for me. I feel like that instagram I keep meaning to start to house my recipes might be a thing I do! Thank you!
Also this demystifies how we can help support our fave content creators. I always try to drop a like and comment but I feel like it’s so uneven how much “free” stuff (advice, inspo, recipes, encouragement, recommendations, etc) we get from you creators versus what we can give back!
Ps if y’all don’t start a podcast I swear 😂
Haha 😂 you are amazing 🫶🏽 I always look forward to reading your comments🙌🏽 you rock!
Thank you!!! Always love your comments. Thank you so much for all your support!!
Value content! Loved it. Thank you guys.
Thank you so much 🥹🫶🏽 I hope it helps you in your own journey 🙌🏽
I didn’t know that about the ads, I will start watching them for you! I always skip them.
I have always enjoyed being a follower of yours from instagram. I think I may have found you on TH-cam first you were talking about the sponsorship you had just gotten Angel Competition suits….then I followed your workouts, show preps and cooking! I love that you keep up on the vlogs and stories. So many fitness pros who have the same channels, and even more affiliations, stay too long away from TH-cam, and instagram, then they come back like six months late when the plot was lost. You keep relevant, you keep going and it is easy for the follower to believe you believe in your products….I mean the genuineness shines through. Love that George helps with it all. Good for you!!
Thank you so much for all the support over the years beautiful 🫶🏽
Natalie and George are back with an awesome video! Really loved this one! From the set, to the graphics, the questions and tips, this one is worth the watch!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
You both make an excellent team! Have you considered being on The Amazing Race?
Keep up the great work! Really appreciate both of you!
Cheers!
Aw thank you so much for the kind words🫶🏽
You know I’ve heard of that show but I’ve never watched it. Is it fun?!
Thank you for watching!! I would love to be on the amazing race! How do I get on there!!
@@GeorgeRitchieMatthews Hi George! If you google amazing race casting you will see the website with all the info on how to get on the show. There's an application on that site as well.
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef Hi Natalie! Yes the amazing race is fun. Very competitive! When l've watched it, l have always pictured you and George on the show.
You both work well as a team. Plus you're both fit, and most importantly you both have the right mindset.
Watch some of the past seasons. It's a race to the finish!!
I'm so happy for you 🥰 good job!
Love your transparency! Tell Liv body to come out with a pumpkin protein powder again! Awesome content as always even your first video was awesome!
Thank you so much beautiful. I will definitely pass the message, that was one of my favorite flavors too🙌🏽
Super informative 😃 you're amazing 🤩 thank you!!
Thank you for this thorough video! 🥰

Aw thank you so much! I definitely want to do it… I just need to find the right team for that project 🫶🏽
George is going to retire? Wow! Well done! Glad it is working out for you guys.
I will watch all ads to the end now.

Great video! Thank you
Genuine humble couple!! I love you guys. I will be purchasing the protein products you support once I use up all of my Coscto Orgain Protein which is horrible for cooking, but I don't want to throw away money. Super excited to also purchase your e-cookbook next month or my husband buys it for me for xmas!! Thank you for sharing your income journey and genuine honesty.
Thank you so much for all the support
Ok now I'll listen to the advertisement until the end! ❤

Thank you so much for watching!
Thank you so much 🫶🏽
I just love you guys! I’d like to see a vacation vlog with some footage of Natalie surfing 😊 A podcast would be fun too!
That would be fun!!!
We do need a vacation!!
Oh how interesting. I always wondered how competitions may pay, and so cool to hear you went to culinary school! I didn’t realise that. :)
Yes 🙌🏽 not much to be made from the competition world 😅 we do it for the love of the sport 😆 we must be a lil cray cray😂😅
Thank you so much for watching.
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef thank You! ☺️
This was a great video and I learned a lot. I would love to see a podcast. That would be terrific. 🎉
Thank you so much! Yay 🙌🏽 so glad you enjoyed the video 🫶🏽
Great video guys! Thanks for being so open and transparent about the benefits/realities of this sort of business and creating in the fitness space. Super inspiring and helpful!
Btw My wife and I love your content (just as much as we love your recipes! 😋). Keep up the great work 👏
Thank you so much Robert! I’m so happy you’re both enjoying the content and recipes. Stay tuned for next week’s recipe video… it’s a good one👀🙌🏽
Thank you for watching! I love the recipes too…because I usually get to eat it after.
I learned a lot from this video!!! Awesome!
🫶🏽🙌🏽
Yesss you’re quite the business man yourself!
Great video. Thanks guys!!
Thank you so much for watching 🫶🏽
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef of course, how couldn't I. It was super informative!!!👌👌
Awesome video so informative and interesting. I order a few things with your codes especially good cravings. I am so thankful for your recommending those bars. I have severe food allergies and these bars are a lifesaver. So thank you!! Did you ever think of doing an ebook that tells you what to use as replacements in recipes. Like for e.g. instead of eggs use ___, instead of flour use____. I experiment a lot but because baking is so scientific i have a lot of duds :) And you were adorable on your first video!! Love watching you and your husband!
Thanks so much for watching. I love the good cravings too!
Thank you so much for all the support Jodi🫶🏽
As far as substitutes or swaps go, there’s already so many amazing free resources online… It really depends on the recipe.
Hi, you are amazing love the content you upload and how to make money is one of the most important things we as humans need to know and apply have a nice day.
Thank you so much! 🙌🏽
Awesome video. I've been here and a fan since your 1st competition coach 😉. I'm always checking to see what video, receipe or new item you talk about. George's facial expressions are a bonus 😂. Just here for it all.
PS: the cookbook took like 8yrd😂
Thank you so much! 🫶🏽 since day one you have always taken the time to leave a thoughtful comment. You always share my post🙌🏽 and It doesn’t go unnoticed…I’m so grateful for you🫶🏽
🤣😂 I know I know I kept you guys waiting too long😅
Yessss we are so lucky that you’ve been supporting since day one! I’m always looking forward to your comments!! Thank you!!!
You are both such lovely people 💜
Thank you so much 🫶🏽
Thank you for your support and watching this!!
Wow look at that podcast setup!!
👀 leveling up
I feel super inspired. I was wondering if I can ask you some questions I am an amateur bikini bodybuilder entering the sport, but loving this process and inspiring women in my age group and would love to get your perspective. I’ve been using your videos to help me through my cardio and I’ve been looking for Contant that relates you me as a 45-year-old athlete and a mother and I want to help in this sport like me. The funny thing is is I’m not even vegan, but I am drawn to your sorry and thinking about adding tofu to my meal plan lol
So many Content Creators make it look easy but thanks for the transparency. How did you structure your business an LLC or a corporation? George videography is something you have learned over time. Where did you start?
Thanks!
Thanks yall!!!!
You have my dream life!
Dang you got podcast ??? Beasting
🤣 thank you!
Yay! 🥳❤️
Useful
Thank you so much 🙌🏽
you can sell a physical cook book as A Print on Demand option! they only make the book per purchase!
Yes, I’ve looked into this and it’s not the best quality. ☹️
That's true, I understand you want to give your fans the best product possible. Indie Publishing is a lot better these days tho! You can also do a limited bulk pre-order so everyone gets a high quality copy who orders and you're not left housing hundreds of books in your home :-)@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef Love your channel, its inspiring watching a vegan latina be so successful
❤Awesome!
Podcast please!!!
👀😆 I love to talk!
Natalie! I am a vegan (whole food of course) group fitness instructor! Thank you for all you do! Question: your husband is vegan & military?? Would LOVE to learn both how you came to start your vegan journey, & about vegan in military!
🎉🎉🎉
Awesome ❤ Ms. Natalie, when you say everything/links is down there, where, please? I tried looking for all your links but can't find them. Thank you! ❤
Thank you so much!
TH-cam has shifted a few things… But if you look under my video title, there’s is an area where it has (…more ) If you click there, you will see the video description, all the support links/discount codes, and timestamps.🫶🏽
Great video! So interesting. But what did you do before the cookbook?
Thank you so much! I’ve always juggle a few jobs at a time… I was a gym owner for a few years, and before that I was a personal chef.
Everytime I click thumps up or like it won't take. Ok finally it did but I pressed 6 or more times.
😂🤣 thank you so much
I love this and learning from you both! What music do you use?
I have subscription to epidemic sound and music bed. The song at the end of this video was from music bed. They both have pros and cons and I can’t settle on one.
@@GeorgeRitchieMatthews thank you! I always worry about the music licensing and then I get stuck researching it. I get analysis paralysis a lot lol
Thank you so much🫶🏽 I see George already gave you the answer to the music 🫶🏽
@@NatalieMatthewsFitVeganChef thank you! I heard it in the video but for some reason it wasn't registering lol. Another great video Natalie ❤️
@@catgfit with those subscriptions you pay monthly and it takes care of the licensing. Both of them will give you the license permanently even if you end your subscription. There are some rules about client work, or channel size etc, but the sites make it pretty easy to understand and some of the music is incredible. They have come a long way with music for TH-cam videos!
❤
Very useful! thank you. I wish i had an awesome husband or partner to help with the content. that is so nice, great job you both.
Thank you so much Paige 🫶🏽
Thank you!! She’s a pretty good boss!
🤗❤️
hey beautiful have a wonderful scary month of october love danny very much
It’s finally spooky season 👻🙌🏽
Puerto vegan cookbook - what does it contain?
It’s a digital cookbook of Puerto Rican foods all veganized. I’m from Puerto Rico and I really wanted to recreate my childhood favorites with a healthy twist 🫶🏽🤭
How many hours per week do you work at this income?
You both really are so humble and so authentic. I absolutely adore you. This took so much work. Will definitely share because this is so entirely open, honest and helpful from start to finish! Your Seitan Nuggets video saved me! 🫶🏽 It also inspired me to buy your cookbook! Can’t thank you enough for this! Praying for your future success! 🙏🏽 I’m super inspired!
Thank you so much for all the support beautiful
That accountant is really expensive. You should go to my mother in law, she is almost 60 and has been doing complex taxes for years now
