“Today is a rest day…” And then Derik goes outside, jumps around, does backflips, calisthenics and push-ups 😆 Haha… great video! Always a great home base to get awesome hearty vegan meal ideas 😊
Whenever I add fresh orange/lemon/lime to something in a blender (like a smoothie or salad dressing), I always slice off a small, thin strip of the rind and chuck it in. You should try it! It bumps the flavour up so much and the smell is much more intense. And because everything is already being blended, you don't have to pull the zester/grater out and saves another thing to wash up! Great video as always! :)
@@rebella5769 I don't think so. If you add any seed to the vitamix, it will blend. It is better/advised to blend the chia/flax seeds because they are so small we don't usually "bite through them" when eating an "unblended" meal, which means we don't get all the precious nutrients. So it's ok if you add the whole seeds to your blender. Oh and the vitamines or, more importantly, minerals, don't go away when blending, it is just easier for our bodies to absorb the omegas when the seeds are blended (because they are so small that we could otherwise just swallow them and get no use of it).
I actually use the whole clementine rind and all and the whole leaves of kale stems and all. Vitamix laughs at them and chews them up. No waste at all. Love you both. You’ve helped me soooo much. Bless you both. 🙏❤️🪷
Love your videos. You're so positive and refreshing. That bowl at the end was gorgeous! Your town would be lucky if you cooked for them, you should go for it!
You guys really are my favorite thing on social media right now. I haven't done FB or IG in years, but I make an exception for you. I like real people and connection and positivity and you two embody that! Thank you just for being you! GREAT way to start my day😁
Those recipes look delicious as always! Your content is always motivating my partner and I to eat healthier more habitually. I’m lazy in the kitchen and don’t want to spend a long time cooking. I really find your recipes to be accesible to whatever grains/greens/veggies you have on hand and can work off for more than one meal. You really help us make healthier choices - thank you!
I cut up tempeh in small pieces, saute it in a pan with trader joe's chili lime seasoning and cook it til it's nice and golden brown, serve it on whole grain bread with tomatoes and lettuce and vegan mayo. To die for!!!! Again with the sauces, Derek. Love it! Love your videos 👍!! I have a ginger cat 🐈, Pumpkin. He's 11 and very healthy! Take care 😻😻👋😜☯️
Amazing video as always, with amazing inspiring meals. Just a little tip: if you steam your tempeh and then marinate it while it is still warm, it will soak up all the flavours. Once cooled, you can do whatever. Bake, grill, airfry... I cut up my tempeh and steam it in the microwave for about 6 minutes. That gets rid of the bitter flavour and I swear it smells like bacon once it's been steamed.
Everything looked great especially the tempeh bowl, will have to try the farro. What a beautiful place to walk and have your lunch, you are blessed. Much love to you both from Spain ❤️
Hey there! Fellow gardener here, you should try growing holy basil next year. I've been adding it to my smoothies and it gives it such a wonderful fruity taste! i just thought i would thank you because you are the one who inspired me to start adding herbs into my smoothies. 😀 the plant is beautiful and smells amazing and it has a bunch of medicinal properties as well! you wont regret planting it!
Really love your videos Derek. All your plant based recipes are great. Especially your salad dressings, wraps/tortilla and smoothies. And i love yout cats. Especially Ollie. 🙂 Love Crystal too. Really her fan.
This one was extra extra awesome! I had such a good time watching this. So cute, charming, fun and I got excited about each meal! Thanks for a lovely experience!
First, I really enjoy your videos and recipes. But the main reason for this comment is to let you know how envious I am of you guys. I used to live in Prince George and absolutely love BC. I now live in an area where I would have to drive 14 hours to get to the mountains. I miss them so much. Enjoy your area. It is special!
You two are the sweetest, cutest couple on TH-cam and I love your videos!! Thanks for all the time and care you put into creating beautiful, healthy, positive content for everyone!!
once again a great vid.thank you for taking us along on the hike the scenery is amazing,lush green & lots of waterfalls,not anything I see here in South 🇦🇺..last week I made your tahini sauce the version with the pickle,I served it over a rice noodle vege salad & tofu bowl,it was amazing my daughter loved it as much as I did.your cashew sauce had my mouth watering,I will definitely be making it,& the marinated tempeh,Ive never had that before.thank you 🙏.all the food looks amazing & I love that you make your own versions of store bought sauces,such a great idea. & I love the cat tree house.i have three cats that would definitely love that.✨💗🐈🐈🐈🌻🌿🍲🥗🍛🍉🥭🍇🍓🍈🫑🥑🧄🍐🥬
What a great day out with you & Crystal. Lunch looked yuuumy. Dinner also looked very good. I plan to make both of them. Thank you. Have a great evening. God bless you from grandma Katie in Oregon
Love your videos. You live in such beautiful surroundings it must feel like you are on vacation everyday. Seems very peaceful. Thank you for all the tips and recipes. 🙏🏼
I keep hoping to bump into you and Crystal on my hikes--but I come face to face with bears instead. Another great video with awesome menu ideas and positive energy.
Continuing your streak of excellent videos! The smoothie (and everything else) looks tremendous. I keep adding ingredients to my breakfast smoothie bowl and it's swelled to about 1,300 calories and 70 grams of protein 🙂
I would so make these recipes. Since I don’t work out to your extent, I have been using PB2 cashew powder with dressings to reduce fat. Excited to try your dressing with the powder.
Everything looked delicious. Will be trying your pasta salad tonight! I enjoy farro in tacos. Cook the farro according to the package instructions, then stir in salsa and a taco seasoning mix.
Today is my first day watching your videos. I enjoyed them watching them..it was a fresh take on plant-based food. I’m trying to incorporate a lot more fruits and vegetables into my meals. I am so used to using different kinds of oils and that is where my problem lies when it comes to dressings. I will have to watch some of your videos that show different ways to make dressings. I would definitely eat everything that you made today.
Oh yea! I would love to eat that bowl! I will make it soon, I have never tried the farro, so let's do it 😋 Thank you so much for the video and the Vegan recipes, they are really appreciated Derek 🙏
Hello from Melbourne Australia. Love watching you guys. Great video, thank you. I have never thought of using my grill like the way you used it. Thanks for the recipe. 🙂
Love you guys and your videos. Great job on the cat tree👍. Would love to make something like it for my little guy. I love grain and veggies bowls. They look so pretty and they taste great. Primal kitchen has some good dressings and sauces💕
Thank you again for another great food and recreation video! You made the exact smoothie I make almost every morning. I'm going to make that pasta salad tonight! 🥗 yay!
Such breathtaking views of the park. Love when you make videos there. You cats are just a pleasure to watch. You really made the most colorful meals today!
Hi Derek I've been watching your videos foreverrrr! Just got my registered dietitian's license so I'm excited to do my passion and your videos are an inspiration! You and crystal work so well together ❤️
A pro cook once told me to get non pasterized tempeh so it wont taste as bitter/sour. Huge difference! I buy it frozen, only place I found non pasterized packs
I absolutely love you and Crystal. Thanks for sharing your nature walks, workouts and meals. I’m a new subscriber and really enjoy your videos. I’ve tried a few of your meals and sauces… sooo good!
THANKS for the inspiration! I made the "Creamy Cashew & Herb Dressing" with a few variations because I didn't have all the ingredients. YUM-O!!!! Than I went to the GARDEN and picked everything... for an AMAZING Everything Garden Salad with the "Creamy Cashew & Herb Dressing"... Really APPRECIATE y'all!!!
@@Simnettnutrition Yes we do, actually add ya to watch for later for whenever we have time together. We are trying our hardest to change our eating habits. You make veganism look / taste good 👍 🙂
Loved all three/four meals (Derek snuck second breakfast in there). I agree the nourish bowls are awesome and really filling too. Thanks for sharing this one. Can I get some of those waterfalls to take home? Wow…
“Today is a rest day…”
And then Derik goes outside, jumps around, does backflips, calisthenics and push-ups 😆
Haha… great video! Always a great home base to get awesome hearty vegan meal ideas 😊
Exactly, Derek's rest days are probably more active than my most active days😅
I was thinking the same😂 he can’t stay sedentary like someone i know 😬
Love you Derek. That crisp, energetic amazement vibe is unbeatable, and so precious. I really appreciate it, and you. ❤

It's a great idea! I have done it a few times with sauces and smoothies and I am a fan too! Try and get organic if you're going to use the skin!
Doesn't the vitamin grind up the chia..Are u saying I shld grind them up before I add them to the vitamix?????

🍋💚Totally true 🍋🍋That’s the only way we make lemonade in our family. Blend the entire lemon, add sweetener and water/ice💚🍋
Unbelievable.... You always show us THE BEST content Derek!!! Thank you so so much! Inspiring in so many ways. REALLY grateful 🙏❤️
I will NEVER get bored of these videos! 😅 That creamy pasta sauce is on my shopping list now! x

That dinner bowl looked so so good and I’m making that pasta salad tomorrow! Thanks for the inspiration. 🌱
Love your videos. You're so positive and refreshing. That bowl at the end was gorgeous! Your town would be lucky if you cooked for them, you should go for it!
Right? If I could, I’d hire him to be my chef 😂
You guys really are my favorite thing on social media right now. I haven't done FB or IG in years, but I make an exception for you. I like real people and connection and positivity and you two embody that! Thank you just for being you! GREAT way to start my day😁

That resin soaked wood is also called "fatwood" and it makes an amazing natural fire starter.
