You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.
Many thanks for such informative video. Thanks for going through with exact measurements. Thanks for explaining why you pick particular items as garnishes. I'm 73 and trying to eat better. So very glad I found you! Keep up the good work. Joe
Thank you, this is helpful. So far I built my protein around chickpeas, lentil, beans and vegan meat. Now I'll try soy beans and tofu as well. Need to do sth about B12 and Omega 3
Awesome! Tofu is such a versatile protein source. Tempeh and Seitan are great as well! For B12, I'd recommend fortified plant milks and nutritional yeast, as well as a supplement. For Omega-3, you can't beat seeds - hemp seeds, chia seeds, and flax seeds. There are vegan algae-based omega-3 supplements as well! 🌱
I know this is an old video but I’m very grateful for it. Beans and lentils, lentils particularly my stomach just can’t without massive pain. I tend to stick with black beans or pinto beans if I’m having Mexican, otherwise I do have to rely on tofo and limited amounts of fake meats. The fake chicken is usually my go to. Otherwise I surprisingly seem to be on the right track. Yay
You should try grains like Bajra, Jowar Indian grains. One or 2 Bhakris especially made from Nagli provides enough energy for entire day. These are Indian types.
I love working out a lot and playing sports. Unfortunately I now have a knee injury I am recovering from. I realized that I should be focusing on my diet (it is not bad but it can be better) in order to maximize results and overall health with an active lifestyle. This channel has helped me a lot. I tried edamame recently after hearing about it in this channel. Loved it!
@@TheVeganGym I’m a big fan of “it doesn’t taste like chicken” and “Nora cooks”. Please make the tofu salmon fillet recipe if you haven’t already. It’s soooo good. Also love a nice seitan roast, smashed potatoes and chili is a nice go-to.
I was shocked to see you have wegmans brand food. I live in Buffalo, New York and we have plenty of wegmans stores here. You don’t see that often in videos! ❤ Wegmans a ton! They have plenty of vegan options!
Your trolley (cart) looks similar to mine....Tons of fresh and frozen fruit n veg . whole grains, oats, quinoa, whole wraps and basmati rice for us (low glycemic on par to brown) plant proteins of lots of legumes, tofu, tempeh, chia flax and nooch...Nice! Thx for the PB powder tip! My daughter loves loading PB into her overnight oats and green smoothies but this lower fat powdered protein version sounds great👍 I just read your journey on your website too. Wow, cancer at 21, that must of been tough. Your story is very inspiring!
Great video, a number of those items are not available or a different brand here in the UK. Alot of our foods are fortified, especially our cereals and Marmite (great source of B12). I am struggling a bit though with findjng the right plant-based foods for gaining weight (I've a health condition that makes weight gain more difficult) and the right food items for meals to help with building muscle. Some of those food items I already get and I do like to cook my own meals, but I do need to expand on those. And yeah, I total agree about the trolley thing, how hard is it to return the trolley?!
I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with gaining weight. I would take a look at our meal prep videos. We have a few meant for bulking as a vegan that may be what you're looking for! 😃💚
@TheVeganGym , it's an on going battle to gain weight due to CF, but I'll certainly take a look at your meal prep videos and give them a go 🙂 I'm willing to give any vegan meal plan a go to see how it works, especially if it has the potential to help gain weight and gain muscle mass 🙂💚
Thanks !!! A love information nutritional =) Depend where you live, i you have costco to buy frozen fruit biologique, oats biologique, nuts, quinoa, chia, brezil nuts, etc In canada the price is very good and you have more!!!
Wild blueberries are always the better option vs blueberries. Not only are they higher in antioxidants and anthocyanin. You could burn a wild blueberry bush to the ground and it would grow back. Also, because wild blues are so resistant they require less sprays/help in growing than organic blueberries. Source: Medical Medium.
You shop (and cook) like I do, minus anything from Wegman's, which doesn't exist outside of 8 states on the east coast. Would like to try that steak house marinade but will have to find a suitable substitute for it. Thanks!
It depends on the restaurant! More restaurants have more vegan options available now, especially veggie burgers. But I think all long-term vegans have had to order french fries and salad once or twice 😆
This is a great question! Although plant-based diets do tend to be significantly healthier than meat-eating diets, a diet of Oreos and fries is vegan but not healthy. So it is possible!

true hero! ♥ Thank you !
Great tip about returning the carts. I hate when people don't put them back 😃 Great information all around!
YES! I totally agree! Drives me nuts when people do that. So rude. Thanks for watching!
or when they leave them in between cars or 100 miles away from the store 😭

Thank you so much, David!! We appreciate you!
I love how much you guys are doing for the movement. So inspiring. Kudos!
Thank you so much! 🌱
Love all the tips! I’m guilty of shopping when hungry. 😅
Man this is absolutely amazing. I can improve on so many things! Thanks for separating all the foods in very clear sections
Awesome, glad this was beneficial for you! 🌱
I am so close to buying the same groceries you do! Yea! I love eating healthy vegan.
It's the best! 🙂
Thank you... . The Vegan Gym team 👍👌

Sorry to hear about your knee! Hopefully you can get back to where you were before the injury. Edamame is a super food! 😃💚
Great video and info! My own grocery hauls look very similar to this.
Nice!!! Got any favorite recipes of yours you want to share?

I was shocked to see you have wegmans brand food. I live in Buffalo, New York and we have plenty of wegmans stores here. You don’t see that often in videos! ❤ Wegmans a ton! They have plenty of vegan options!
Wegman's is awesome! 😊

Wegman’s coconut milk yogurt is also really good!
Yes, it is!!
So underated!
You didn't miss a beat! Great video! So happy to find your channel!

Thank you.

Wild blueberries are also a great option! But they aren't available in all stores and blueberries are a more accessible option.
Frozen wild blueberries are available in most chain stores.
Healthy eat vegetables for your health
I like mixing dry peanut butter into chocolate 🍫 flavor protein shakes. It makes it taste like your drinking a snickers bar lol.
Oooo I love this idea!! 😄🌱
So sad our Fred Meyers grocery store took out the bulk section during the pandemic, and they never put it back☹️
Thank you
This is awesome! What about Lupini beans? They claim to have 20 g of protein per 100 cal & in low in carbs.
Lupini beans are awesome, but they do contain 36g of protein per 100g, not 100 calories. That serving size is 1550 calories.
You shop (and cook) like I do, minus anything from Wegman's, which doesn't exist outside of 8 states on the east coast. Would like to try that steak house marinade but will have to find a suitable substitute for it. Thanks!
Thank you! 🙂
Why don’t you eat sprouts or micro greens?they are very nutritious, easy to grow and chew.
Microgreens are great! 💯
What do you order in a restaurant???
It depends on the restaurant! More restaurants have more vegan options available now, especially veggie burgers. But I think all long-term vegans have had to order french fries and salad once or twice 😆
Where do you find red cabbage?
It's just purple or red cabbage. You should be able to find it in most produce sections at grocery stores :)
Is there such a thing as an unhealthy vegan? honestly asking.
This is a great question! Although plant-based diets do tend to be significantly healthier than meat-eating diets, a diet of Oreos and fries is vegan but not healthy. So it is possible!
Ya for people that can afford it when someone gets payed once a month can't shop like this
Luckily there are so many cost-effective vegan options out there, like beans, rice, and tofu! 🌱
@TheVeganGym I eat beans rice no think you I choke on rice so stopped eating it. And don't like tofu
