- Hang out with me for a week to see what I eat and do to maintain my healthy vegan life!
I went Vegan 15 years ago and feel amazing! I've never looked back thanks to the delicious meals I make and proper supplementation.
I love to enjoy healthy, balanced meals with a good amount of protein that helps me build lean muscle and have lots of energy to support my active lifestyle.

Just picked up some of that apple-pear pre-workout! Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the recommendation and code!😋
Do the vitamins have a weird taste? I tried Ritual and did not like the taste at all, I had a hard time getting them down. I also tried Compliment, which were a little better, but still didn’t love.
Have you done a video on growing sprouts or different variety sprouts. Best methods or comparing methods maybe for video ideas. I’d like to see this from you! Great vid! Thank you
Teenager series? For a teenager who can master a waffle iron but has a very limited attentionspan and an aversion to doing dishes. We already do waffles with quick oats, water and salt (with optional grated carrots, chopped walnuts and more spices, depending on lazyness level). 1 portion porridge is 50g, but as waffles 1 portion is easily 100g oats - the dough is made practically thick enough to knead)
We use Knorr Potato Flakes (simply dehydrated potatoes, nothing else) to make 'croquettes' in the oven and are working towards making a simpler version of that for the waffle iron. It would - just like the croquettes - contain soft tofu (300g package) mashed with a fork; turmeric, black pepper, salt and rosemary, nooch and of course the potato flakes and maybe tapioca starch and a little water (that is basically the croquettes as of now😂) But it's not ready in a simpler version yet.
I WOULD love to have something that includes something, ANYTHING, that is a dark leafy green. DLGs need some serious good PR promo in my house (they are innocent😂 and have been discriminated against simply based on color).
Can you help?
Greetings Derek! I'm a 69 year old Black woman in Atlanta, Georgia, with a plethora of lifestyle caused health challenges. Our paths would probably have never crossed, but thanks to TH-cam, you have come into my life in a subtle, yet powerful and impressive way. I adore your videos, your wit, your charm, and your love of physical fitness and healthy eating. At this point in my life, after a lifetime of poor eating habits, I must believe that it's NOT too late for me to make meaningful and sustainable lifestyle changes. You truly inspire me with the ease of preparation, colorful variety, and health consciousness of your vegan recipes. Tfs this snapshot of your lovely lifestyle. I have rightly decided to become a subscriber! Peace & abundant blessings to you always 🤗💞
I love this comment! Thanks so much for the follow and I’m glad you found me. I’m so grateful to be reaching such a wide audience. All the best on your health journey!
Thank you for inspiring me with your lovely comment Aunty Naila!
It's never too late to start eating healthy :) best of luck on your journey
I found the whole foot plant based life also including Derek and few other plant based you tubers the same way! Very thankful and luv all the recipes! Have tried many! Here’s to encouraging you in your journey I lost 50 lbs in about 6 months while learning how to do the life style and have improved my complextion, heart health, hormones, BP and blood sugar! You can do this we’re rooting for you! You deserve this!
So proud of you for taking control of your health, and for sharing your inspiring words with all of us! Wishing you so much happiness, luck, and willpower on your health journey 🤍
My 8 years old son can't wait for Saturdays to watch your new video every week and he already made and try so many things. Thank you for inspiring him.. WHT a great influence
That’s awesome! Tell him I said I appreciate him watching my videos and proud of him for learning how to cook!
@@Simnettnutrition thank you so much! He was so happy with your answer : "what mummy?!! Simnett is talking to me??!!" you made his night. Thank you once more for your time and kindness. Keep being a model for us
Please share Crystal’s recipe, that cake looks amazing!
Your meals have been so helpful to me on my vegan journey. It has been almost a month since I went plant based! I would love to see a video on how you maintain your vegan lifestyle when you go out to dinner.
That's amazing. Great to hear. I do show some clips in this one where we get some takeaway, but I honestly don't eat out much. I usually eat before I go if I don't know how much vegan stuff will be on the menu so I don't have to worry about getting something too filling.
Eating out is pretty easy these days. Either pick somewhere you know or have checked the menu of.
But most places offer a vegan option, and if they don't you can always ask them if they can make anything.
If worst comes to worst then I just wait until I can eat at home or somewhere else, but to be honest that doesn't happen anymore due to all the options.
Eating out is so much easier than it once was. Some places it's just asking the right questions when you get the menu. You do find some places cook alot on their vegan food in the same pans and oils they're cooking meats in so always ask.
Then it's just finding a few spots near you that you can try all the delicious food! I'll be doing a night out being a vegan later this month, as I struggled 2 years ago when I first transitioned from pescatarian to Plantbased.
So, I happen to live somewhere there aren't any vegan restaurants, but have found a few ways to get around that. You can go for pizza and choose all the veggies with no cheese. There's a place here that does custom nachos, so we get that with beans and veggies with no cheese (they have tofu, but not vegan cheese). Similarly, there's a burrito or bowl option at another place- also tofu, but no vegan cheese. The closest thing we have to vegan options is a Chinese place that has tofu, eggplant, and cauliflower mains. You have to be very careful about the sauces, but doable. And sometimes I will go for a salad and just order it without meat and dairy but take a little Tupperware of tofu. That's not ideal since you are still paying for the meat whether or not you eat it, but I don't expect to get my restaurant choice every time.
I carry a cooler of food with me at all times 😞 I can jigger up a vegan meal at sit-down restaurants, but there’s no such thing as vegan fast food anywhere near me - just junk! And being on a food elimination diet also means no gluten or soy, so it’s freaking impossible. Anyway, if it helps anyone… I carry gluten-free wraps full of hummus, avocado and raw vegs, along with oil-free potato chips and air-popped corn sprinkled with nutritional yeast. I’m now an expert at car-picnics! 😂
I appreciate that your meals don’t include lots of expensive ingredients. I usually have everything on hand, making it more economical to follow your delicious and healthy recipes, thank you!
What a delicious week! This is such a great example for everyone - from people just transitioning to veganism to old-timers 😉
The cake Crystal made looked amazing!
I love this style of video! I'm always amazed by your creativity in your full day of eating vids and this one is 7 times better. Everything looks so good I really need to try to break out of my week-of-leftovers eating and try Simnetting things up in my kitchen.
"Simnetting things up" in the kitchen -- you've created a new, fun verb! :-)
I’d starve not eating first and second breakfast, I’m up very early during the week to do a pre work workout, then my physical job and usually a second workout at the end of the day. I’d love to see a day of Crystal’s eating and workouts, I know you eat together, but does she eat a breakfast most days? People’s metabolisms are so varied, thanks for sharing what works best for you.
I am an animal activist, and it feels so usual for me to be depressed and sad all the time after seeing all the horrible footages and outreaching with the public. Your dishes help me a lot, gives me strength to stand up again and fight for the voiceless.
Love the whole week of food. More of them, helps me and hubby plan the whole week not just one day❤keep em coming!❤
The positiveness and chillness of this guy is amazing! Thanks for all the tips 🙏🏼
I just love watching your videos! You're such a positive person. Thank you for all the effort you always put in your work! 😊
The cake looks so amazing!! Is there a recipe Crystal could share? Please and thank you!!
Definitely need Crystals recipe that looked so delicious. Thank you so much for your time and dedication
Agreed we definitely need that chocolate cake recipe, please and thank you!
I need that cake recipe!! LOOKS SO YUMMY!!!
I’ve been eating vegan for about 3 weeks and alternate between 2 different meals. I like the casual way you throw things together and make it a meal. I plan to relax and give that a try. It’ll be so much more fun. 😁💚
I’m sure you’re doing great! It becomes much more natural feeling with time. It’s good to get a handful of go to recipes under your belt then just start modifying them a bit depending on what you have on hand. You got this!!
I love seeing the hobbies and real life! ❤
You introduced me to tofu and tempeh and now they are a yummy staple in my diet. I love your ‘throw together’ style of making meals. Its been great for using up what I have and sometimes I find a great new combo of flavours.
We need that cake recipe from Kystal!! Great video 😄
I think I will move to Canada so I can hire you to cook for me :) ......you should have one of them meal in a package that gets delivered to your door....you include all the ingredients and we cook....that would be awesome I have never seen a vegan meal package ....
I really loved this kind of video, Derek! Make more of this. Thanks! Greetings from Brazil ❤️
I appreciate your Channel because it shows that most vegans are not long-haired hippies or purple haired wokies who are obnoxious and judgmental. We just regular people who want to eat a healthy diet and not hurt animals. I really like the video you did addressing misconceptions about vegans.
I think videos like that help to break down barriers between vegans and non vegans. Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks so much, I really appreciate :)
Entertaining as always! Congrats on getting to 700K subscribers, that's a great milestone! Happy to see you are still growing :) Your meals gave me great ideas for different things to try, thanks for that!
Wow what an inspiring positive video!! Jogging in that beautiful forest is a dream! I think I am going to start growing my own broccoli sprouts after I saw this video. And of course more exercising! The kitties Pollie and Ollie are so cute❤
You make such amazingly creative and wonderfully healthy meals, Derek! Remembering the motto, “eat the rainbow” is certainly a good way to have a balanced and beautiful meal. That’s what your meals make me think of.❤. Hello to Crystal, too!
Ok, just caved and added Japanese BBQ sauce to my grocery list! Thanks for another great video Derek. Well put together. Hope you have another GOOD week.
Crystals gotta teach us how to make that cake!!
Love seeing the whole week!! ❤ Thanks Derek!
Love your meals! Could Crystal maybe share her cake recipe? 😁
The protein milk is genius! Definitely going to add to the routine.
You’re giving me so many good ideas for protein! That is where I struggle. Your food looks healthy and delicious 😋
I loved this video! Great food ideas, but I especially loved seeing what you like to do for hobbies and fun stuff. Would love to see more of that side of you.
Would love Crystal's chocolate cake recipe
Yes this was fun to watch, thanks Derek!
Love these more straight to the point weekly vids.
You two rock!
I love all your videos, but this was something special! Thanks for all the hard work Derek ✨
You can really tell the amount of work and effort you put into this video!
great video - so much fun!! thank you for all the inspiration and positive vibes, as always!
The tortilla pizzas look so good!
What an awesome video!! Thx for taking us along!
Excellent video. I love getting ideas from your “what I eat” posts. Thanks for sharing😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Videos like this from you made me want to start documenting my journey through video; I'm now 3 videos in and am enjoying it so much! Thanks for taking us through your days of delicious foods, cool adventures, and adorable cats!
Really great video of several meal ideas and fun clips of your workouts!
G'day Derek from Queensland, Australia. Your food always looks super yummy, fresh & easy to put together. Keep up the good work mate.
Whenever I feel uninspired on what to cook, or how to make my meals more nourishing, I come to your channel! This video gave me so many new ideas :)
We've gotta get that silken tofu cake recipe!!
I found this really helpful Derek. Thanks for doing it I'm sure it was a lot of work. It was nice to see everything in a complete week instead of one day at a time. For example sometimes you don't put tofu in your videos but I noticed you had it a lot throughout the week... that's good to know
Incredible video just as always! Thanks for all the inspiration 😍
I freaking love your nutrition style!! I eat really similar, loads of colours, protein focused, but also really good on flavours with seasonings, sauces, and pickled things like kraut! Great channel, great videos!
Great video as always , the hike and cabin looked beautiful .
Awesome video Derek!!!! ❤
Late to this: very helpful. (And the presentation of the days of the week was a very cool touch!)
Please share the recipe for Crystal's cake...it looks amazing!!
More videos of your motorised techy side-projects please, Mister Simnett! Very intriguing to see you wielding a soldering iron and doing _something_ with some cool-looking bikes! :o)
Wat a super fun and delicious video😃 I really appreciate videos like this, must have been a ton of work 🥰 So thank you so much. And o course we all want the recipe for the chocolate cake 😄
I enjoyed seeing what you eat in week. A lot of delicious food. 🤤
Thanks!
Keep on pumping more videos Derek...we love watching you and CRYSTAL.. please bring her more often!
Another great video! We always forget about the tortilla pizzas-so easy and delicious. I also need to reset my mindset - your rest day is basically my workout day!
Thanks! I totally forgot how awesome sprouting at home is. Soaking some pea sprouts.
Great video as always! Thank you for sharing such amazing content. 😊
I'm saving this video to come back to for fabulous meal ideas; thank you for sharing such colorful, protein-packed, and simple menus. I appreciate how you strike a balance between eating intuitively and using sound principles of nutrition. Can you please post Crystal's chocolate cake recipe? Thank you!
This was so much fun to watch! Perfect start of my day. 😊
Always get excited to see your videos. I can’t imagine the work that goes into them.we appreciate you! ❤
Thank you!
So many great and refreshing ideas for ramping up vegan protein in my meals. Thanks!
Love this video. So many meal ideas for me here.
This was awesome! That 4x4 adventure and cabin in the mountains looks magical dude. Like not from this world. So nice. Great video! Peace and love
Love this video, but I agree with your other fans...must have Crystal's cake recipe! Looks amazing!!!
I really like that you put the ingredients on the screen…TY
This was great! You live in such a BEAUTIFUL area!
Thank you so much!
I haven’t checked into any of your videos for clearly sometime. Wow did you ever pump up!!!
Thanks so much for all your inspiration! Really needed this video today! x
Love this video. My husband and I have been plant based since his MI with STEMI 2 years ago. He is doing oh so much better and the doctor cannot believe his low cholesterol levels! Actually all of his labs are far better than they have ever been. I am glad that I found your channel because being plant based, I tend to get in a rut and cook the same things over and over. You are giving me great options here. ❤
Your meals look so delicious! I really appreciate you showing us what you eat in a day! In a week! Thank you derak
So many ideas in one video! Thank you.
I'm so jelly of the location that you go out for your run. It looks beautiful.
Love watching your what I eat videos . Always gives me great ideas!
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching :)
Still watching but thank you for the high protein meals. I’m guilty of not always eating enough protein…😭
We have such similar tastebuds. I eat a lot like you. So inspiring to watch. Thank you.
I gotta try that Tuesday curry! Your Tex Mex sauce from way back would be delicious on the rice and beans tacos and salad you made! Mmm mmmm
Loved this one! Always such positive energy aha
New first time watcher. I like your video.
Please direct me to the ganache chocolate cake recipe 🤤
Love the video as always!
I always enjoy these videos. Great ideas and having some fun.
Nice bikes hanging on the wall! Waiting for the snow to melt so I can get back out on the trails!🚵🏼♀️
Love this kind of video!! So much meal insp😆
Awesome video.. but always leaves me waiting for your next video. Can we please see a video on how you made the sprouts and also that delicious cake recipe..🙏thank you!!
Love these recipes thanks much appreciate it ❤ also thanks for the tour it was amazing ❤ the woods 😊
What's with the SVU-esque sound effect at the start of the new day 😂 Your recipes look mouth watering!! Thanks for the inspiration!
AMAZING VIDEO!!! Thanks for all the tips!
Love the video bro, lots of healthy meal ideas
Loved this style of video! Missed Crystal though! : ) I appreciated, too, how you showed one sauce on several of your recipes. I do that, too. I'll make a pint of your tahini sauce (that I've added a ton of Sriracha to!) and drizzle it on everything over the week. The sauces and condiments (a few olives, fermented veg, pickles, or my new fave - fig balsamic vinegar) totally take vegan meals to the next level.
Need Crystal to show us how to make the cake😮
Also great video seen some great ideas
Love it man all looks so good
Love all your videos and recipes! Any chance Crystal would share her bday cake recipe?
Paulie is so cute! That cake… what are the chances we can have Cristal’s recipe?.. please?❤️❤️😍. Great inspiration.. thanks for this. As always, great upbeat video!
You are very creative! I love seeing you come up with your meals. I can tell it's a no brainer for you. I got away from WFPB eating and did carnivore with my husband. OMG. My blood work skyrocketed. He wanted to do carnivore and I told him I'd support him and cook for him. Why I went along with it too, I'll never know. It's definitely not my thing. I'm going back to the WFPB diet, and I can't wait. I'm off to the market and start filling my fridge with fresh veg.
Hi favorite couple. Great video, enjoyed the sharing of your week. Thank you😊
I love it! SO inspiring!!🤩
I really loved this video! It actually made me feel better to see you eat snacks, and even chocolate cake! (Can Crystal share that cake recipe?!) Every other video I always wondered how you managed not to have some sweet treats here and there. Thank you so much for sharing- love this style video!
Thank you. Yeah I snack, I eat cake! The cake is a variation of a minimalist baker recipe called vegan double chocolate mousse cake. One of the best things I’ve ever had!
