Derek and Crystal are easily one of the cutest and genuinely nicest couple/people out there!
agree! such pretty vibes!
Ya they need to get married
Agreed!😊
@@nalanimallory605 I was thinking that myself
I am not vegan anymore but I love them together.
This is so cute how Derek always asking- "how's your shift going?" :D
I know!! I worked at Wal-Mart years ago and I thought that was so sweet!
I've started asking workers this too because of Derek. So many of them are shocked that you actually ask but it's nice and polite
Thanks for choosing Modern Meat and supporting local! We can't wait to see what you cook up with our Modern Crumble!
Crystal is noticeably more confident on camera I’m so glad to hear she finally made a TH-cam, hearing there now!
I find both of them confident and humble for their audience.
Crystal appears more naturally relaxed....its all good.
They both complement each other for sure. ❤️
Really enjoy this video. And I don't feel that you need to explain the plastic situation at all. You are so dedicated to your way of life and there's circumstances, right now, that are out of your control. Keep the collab coming.
Thank you so much.
@@Simnettnutrition At our Superstore in Courtenay you can use cloth bags, you just have to pack them from your cart and not put them on the counter (just an fyi :))
You're such a BIIIIIIGGG inspiration to the Vegan Community! Also, been showing love on Crystals new YT channel. Lots of Love from San Diego, California
Thank you so much!
Them caring about mama squirrel's diet just warmed my heart so much 🥺 ly guys
6:35 Crystal is adorable. Like a character from Disney cartoon! :)))
So animated!
I love how happy and vibrant you 2 are. You're making so many people happy in these dark times. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Nick :)
I am laughing so hard at the squirrel omega ratio thing! Our yard squirrels would like to move to your house.
Haha we watch out for our furry friends around here. We all need more omega 3 in our life 😂
Right?!? That totally cracked me up! Thanks for all the great food tips!
Are those mushrooms at the base of the tree real? They look like a knickknack somebody stuck out there.
Beyond meet are sponsored by Bill Gates and they’re FULL OF GMOs apparently!! don’t just take my word for it though. I absolutely love love love your videos! I’m excited to go to Costco and get some dates now!
OMG! Im from Australia and we dont have squirrels and i thought she was the most GORGEOUS THING EVER! NOW you mention YOUR yard squirrels! so does EVERYBODY have their own squirrels up their trees??
Thank you so much for lightening the mood. Things are heavy and tense in NY for weeks now.
Yes...mandatory mask wearing.
You guys are like my wife and I. We can't go to just ONE store. We normally visit at least 3!
Its how you get the best finds/deals!
The same with us! At least 3 stores to get everything!
Same here! One is not enough to get everything!😀😀
Imagine eating so healthy, you can’t remember the name of Nutella 😆
I thought I bought a lot of bananas, but man you win that award haha. I buy pretty much the same groceries as you guys do but I always enjoy watching you and Jon and Brian with these vegan grocery hauls. Also, Crystal has a beautiful smile, how does she get her teeth so white? Keep up the good work brother
I love watching your videos. You guys are so encouraging and have helped my family with our plant based journey. The other day my 13 year old wanted to spend some of her TV time to watch some of your recipe videos. I think it’s so cute she has a crush on Derek.
Derek and Crystal this is the video I’ve been waiting for from you two!! I really needed this to help me.I’m just starting my new journey with plant based foods! I already bought tofu and I’m almost out.. I also bought morning star burgers.i love my burgers and pizza. I even am trying to give up my eggs . I haven’t eaten eggs over a week now!
I love your guys’ chemistry haha, Crystal laughs so loud when you say funny stuff Derek 🤣🤣 OH and I feel the same way about the plastic, we’re doing the best we can. No ones perfect. Loved the haul! Thanks for the tips on everything 💜👌
Watching this older video and just noticed you are almost at a million subs, praying for y’all to get this year!!!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing!
Crystal has been on point with her style the last few times I’ve seen her on here.
I’ve been vegan for almost 2 months now and I love ur videos, keep up the great work
Thanks David!
He was one of the people that helped me through my transition a few years back too. They're both amazeballs.🙌🏽
Yeah their great in the plant based community bc not only do I enjoy watching them but I learn a lot as well
How is it going lol?
@@lasanajeremy5959 now vegan for over a year and so thankful I made the switch, family dinners are the only hard part
You’re definitely missing out on that chocolate hummus. It’s SO GOOD. I dip strawberries in it.
Easy to make at home, too!
I was about to comment. Its so good.
What chocolate hummus?! 🤯 I didn’t know that was a thing. I definitely need to find some
Oh my. Aldi's has chocolate hummus. Eaten on a Graham cracker or animal cracker...yummy. vegan , gotta read those labels.
There's a great solution to all that unavoidable plastic! Here in Colombia we call it ecological bricks or love bottles. It consists of you getting a 1, 2 or 3 liter bottle and filling it up with all those plastic wraps. When your done per say with the walnuts, you cut up the wrap with scissors and you put it inside the empty bottles, as you put more and more plastic in you use a stick of some sort to push it in and make it really compact. It's amazing how much plastic you can put inside a bottle. At the end they end up so compacted that people here even use them to build houses, it's pretty amazing, wish I could send you pics. This, plus composting has been amazing cause there is pretty much no trash afterwards.
By the way I love your channel and all your videos, I have been vegetarian for many years but just very recently became completely vegan and your videos have been very inspiring and educational!
As soon as I heard "no house is a home without soy milk" I smashed the like button.
Right? Idk why some people don't like it, it's my fav.
Love soy milk
Derek I love how personable you are. So friendly to everyone and just an all around good person
Thanks for sharing the mama squirrel!!
She is keep us going right now haha
yes!! THANKYOU! THANKYOU! THANKYOU!
With regard to your vegetables, steaming root vegetables and tubers is quite a good and healthy way to eat them. I'm especially fond of steaming turnips, parsnips, sweet potatoes (of different kinds), in addition to carrots. You can then blend smooth each of these root veggies to thicken soups or mix into other recipes to add sweetness and a different flavor to other veggies and grains (like oats and buckwheat). If you have a high speed blender (e.g. Vitamix - I think this is what you have), you can of course make soups with your root veggies too. Also, learn to dry/dehydrate foods in the oven, unless you have a dehydrator, and make flours and powders, especially making use of lemon and orange rinds to add to baking goods anything else you want a citrus flavor added to -- including salads. But yes, reducing plastic is a good goal. There's a lot you can also make with lentils and chickpeas, especially if you blend them into a flour, including crackers and flatbreads.
Dr. Praeger's vegan products are soooo good! Love the California burgers you got and the Black Bean Quinoa burger (and the Plant Pure Burger if you want something like the Beyond Meat patties).
Your relationship is such a vibe
Yay this is such cool timing! Literally just went to the grocery store yesterday and picked up my favorite greens: KALE! Thanks for all that you and Crystal do for showing veganism in a positive light. Love from Texas
I was depressed by comparing my country to yours in terms of wealth (it sucks to live in a poor country) but then the footage of the squirrel cheered me up. Thanks for caring for that beautiful animal.
He has underrated editing skills in my opinion
Superstore has OIL-FREE HUMMUS! :) It’s in the international aisle in a canned format! There’s one called Habibi’s, I think, and also another brand. They have instructions on how to “prepare” it by adding oil to it - but I just skip that step and add a little lemon juice or water to thin it out a bit! So good.
You two are simply the best! Everything looks soooo good and I can't wait to see what you think about the new vegan crumble!
To quote from Harry met Sally I want what she (Crystal) is having. She is always so happy and you are such an amazing couple🦄
Enjoyed your video. I am a 67 yr old retired non-vegan trying to head in that direction. Also live in BC interior. So nice to see a fellow Canadian.
I really appreciate Derek and Crystal genuinely talking about stuff about snacks and plastics. It’s very honest and how my wife and I go grocery shopping. A cost of how much they do in shopping and kind of get ride of the myth that eating Vegan is more expensive than eating boxed foods, meats, etc. but overall your energy and positivity is contagious 😍😍 thank you as a new vegan you’ve both helped me out so so much!
The squirrel eating too many omega 6's 😂 You guys crack me up 💕
Its true, we worry lol
I am grateful for all the videos they help me tremendously, and you too make me smile. Blessings!
6:51 - that crumble is AMAZING!! The cauliflower one is even better. ❤️
It’s normally $7.99 at my store and a couple of weeks ago it was on for $0.99 because it was close to date. I bought 12. 😂
You guys are always our go-to for wholesome content 🥺 can watch and re-watch your videos and not only learn things, but actually manage to chill out and smile for a while. Thank you!!
Omg I laughed at the squirrel comment and then I saw her in the video and realised she really does have *the nips* hahaha.
Adopt some Bunnies from your local Bunny rescue, they are the best [vegan] pets, and they can eat with you! Incredibly easy to litter train too!
I would love too but I’m super allergic. We have so many bunny’s around here too.
The Ecocentrist Vegan rats are great pets!! So cute and fun!
@@Simnettnutrition Hey, I was just wondering what your ethics would be on feeding a cat. I've always been a cat person and turned vegan a while ago, now I'm somewhat torn on whether I even want a cat at some point, since I haven't heard great things about vegan diets for cat. Is it possible for a cat to live off of vegan food without having any deficiencies?
@@aufkeinsten7883 No! It is essential cats get a high meat diet, your cat will go blind or worse. Don't punish your beloved pet for your choices. Will you disown your family members if they are not vegan? tinyurl.com/ybapk8j3
@@aufkeinsten7883 The nutrient they get from meat from cat food is really low because the meat quality is really bad (everything that humans can't use, blood, heads, peaks, bones, intestines, sick farm animals, animals that died in road accidents etc) so they enrich it with supplement. This nutrient is called taurine, and vegan cat foods have it too. If you want to look deeper into it, I'd suggest Earthling Ed's Instagram. He has story highlights about the topic. Have a good one!
So much excitement with all the food , I LOVE IT! So glad I’m not the only one to get so excited!!!! You guys are awesome!!!!!!
27:05 “I gotta go feed the squirrel” 😂
FYI Derek, in Australia - Queensland in particular, the gyms are now open (1st June) as at noon, only 45 minute workouts allowed at the moment, I am off to gym in 20 minutes. Social distancing & temperature taking will be involved & only 20 people in the gym at one time. You also have to book your time. The allowed times are on the hour with the 15 minute gap for cleaning.
"Cotsco is the best place to get 'dates'" hehehe
Really like that you care for the little squirrel!👍👍👍
I love to hoard tofu as well! Lol Making my crabby tofu sushi tonight!
add the recipe for the crabby tofu!!
When you are worried that your car isn’t large enough for your grocery haul. 😊 love seeing your food trips. Thank you for sharing.
21:27 lmao “Make sure you have a good dentist”
its true lol
@@Simnettnutrition lolol just bought these recently. Can attest that this is true 😂
‘Raw’ crackers in dehydrator are our fav but sometimes buy the Mary’s rosemary ones (SO good with Miyokos vegan creamery chive cheese!). And so TRUE that dentists must be fans :). Thx for the smiles & inspiration Derek & Crystal! (much needed in this masked twilight zone 🤪)
You guys are just a joy to watch 🥰
Bahaha. I ask the cashier “how’s your shift going?” every time. Almost always opens up some small convo. Thanks for that.
I am a cashier rn. It makes the day go by faster for me if I have someone to talk to. Thanks for being so lovely. I know that other cashiers appreciate a simple conversation with a customer.
I’ve made chocolate hummus at home and it’s so good. Below is the recipe if you want to try it.
1 15 oz can unsalted chickpeas drained and rinsed
1/4 cup cacao powder or cocoa (cocoa is roasted and cacao is raw)
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract alcohol-free preferred. Or you could use almond extract.
3-4 Tbl unsweetened non-dairy milk
2 Tbl tahini
1/4 tsp sea salt
Combine all ingredients in a food processor or high speed blender until desired texture.
I personally like it fairly smooth. I used my vitamix and it worked great. You can eat it right away, but I think it’s better after it’s been in the fridge for a little bit. The chocolate taste in it reminds me of dark chocolate.
BLESS YOU JOSH!
For that much food and for 3 places $200+ is REALLY good. I’m like $200 each place lol oops. But I do have kids. Still. You guys did great.
For two people here in Texas we set our budget at $600 a month. We buy lots of bananas for smoothies too. We also got to about 3 stores also. Good grocery haul
i see you guys don't have on your masks in Canada is it required to wear them in stores? just curious
Not required anywhere but I assume it depends where you live/the store in the rest of Canada. We live on the west coast in an area with a smaller population. There have been no cases for about 3 weeks now.
@@Simnettnutrition i thought you lived in Canada
@@karenpatterson3726 The Canadian West Coast is the coastline on the North Pacific Ocean!
I was surprised about that. I live in South Korea. Costco is a mask-required area here. But our Costco on a regular weekday morning is still crowded like black Friday in North America.
I was wondering the same
In one of your videos a while ago, you talked about how you always ask cashiers "how's your shift going" at the store, since it's better than just the generic "how are you". I've been doing it ever since, You can tell it wakes some people up sometimes, and it generally seems to get some genuine conversations going. Definitely makes my shopping experience a little more interesting too! So thanks for the tip/inspo Derek! Always love you videos.
I am glad you have taken that and now chat with the cashiers. That is awesome :)
No masks? Here in California we're wearing masks. I love her skirt!!
No! No cases for a few weeks now. We are lucky (and live in a small population area)
It's so crazy isn't it? We live in NY and that was my first thought too! After 12 weeks I feel weird if I DON'T see people wearing masks and keeping distance...
The virus has a 1% mortality rate. Stop watching CNN who focus more towards death numbers and not the numbers as whole.
Money Man , not sure where you’re getting that number, but 1% is not true. Try not to assume you know what news another person is watching...
Vansion Living some people just don’t care I guess. They state false claims and fake science to avoid telling the truth they just don’t care.
I love that you're balancing the squirrel's omega 3 & 6. You guys are super nice!
You should pick up some Liquid Gold Tahini if you can't find any at the store. Proper runny stuff
I think I have a shipment on the way! :p
@@Simnettnutrition awesome! I had to give Miles a shoutout
My favorite part of this video is the chemistry between you two. So funny. So wholesome. So loving. ❤️
Lucky you, no face masks on public. We have to wear them everywhere, specially the grocery store
They should be wearing them
Lots of us do wear them here in Canada but it's not mandatory.
Yes, we are lucky to live in a low population area where there have been minimal cases (none in the last three weeks) so we are not required to wear masks. We did have some with us just in case we were asked to wear them.
Well over here in Guadalajara, it’s over 4 million habitants so, probably we’ll be wearing mask everywhere for the rest of the year, there’s not many cases, but it’s increasing day by day, anyway stay safe, it’s great to see some places coming back to “normal”
Sounds like u are the lucky one rather. Aren't u glad the chances of u catching it is lower? 🤷
If you’re able to get the chocolate hummus it’s so good! It’s basically brownie batter and it’s so tasty to dip fruits in
Lesson to learn from this video: Do not go food shop on an empty stomach
I love your positive energy! Thank you for sharing nutritional information online. I appreciate seeing what you make and how you shop.
What we do is just put all of the groceries back into the shopping cart after they are scanned in. Then take them to the car and put them into our reusable bags. No way in hell im using plastic bags.
EDIT
wait... why no face masks ?! 😷
Yes, we have done that before for sure. We are not required to wear face masks - no cases for three weeks here. Very lucky.
U can reuse plastic bags as your garbage bags. Defeats the purpose of banning plastic bags and then buy GLAD plastic bags for your household garbage bin. U can't drop everything in Green or Blue bins.
You guys have such a honest way of smiling both of you . So sweet . Sending you some hugs and thanks for the videos ❤️
Should really wear a mask.... =/ having a panic attack seeing this!
There have been no cases where we live for weeks now (or on the island). There is little risk.
@@Simnettnutrition Glad to hear.
That's very rare in the world.
@@alexl0890 the closer north from the equator and the closer south towards equator the less cases there have been. Some assume this is due to the climate. The middle area is where most epicenters are.
Watching you and Crystal is such a lovely and welcome break from the crazy world right now. Thank you for all you both do :)
are you trying to bulk up? you look huge in the intro haha
I wish! Wide angle go pro! I will have to use it more I think haha.
Agree I like it better than Nutella, same kind of vibe just better.
Love your videos. Would you guys ever consider doing a gluten free vegan meal prep or shopping day? Puts an interesting spin to ingredients and premade food options.
I love y'alls positive energy. :)
unpasteurized doenjang or miso paste if you can't find the former is a very good sub for the dried/fermented seafood when making kimchi. In addition to those I've also gotten it to work using chinese salted/fermented black soy beans
There's a chain of zero waste grocery stores in my city called Loco. It is very, very small. You have to use some sort of container at some point. They were big on reusing Mason jars until covid. They used to ask people to drop off their clean containers for customers to use, but of course the Ministry of Health stopped by and told them to stop. They caved in and started offering paper bags.
With having endometriosis and being connected to millions around the world with menstrual health issues I’m gonna go right now and check out your new channel! What a great idea Crystal!!! I’ll be sure to share in my groups!! Thanks for all your hard work you guys! Love u both! Love from the states! Ohio to exact!! 😍😇 tootles
You 2 are so much fun, always love your videos !!!
I just watched a couple of carnivore grocery hauls out of curiosity. Couldn't believe what I was seeing. Had to ask one where they got the fiber for their gut microbiome. One of the good things about summer in Alabama is that there are plenty of locally-grown vegetables and fruit at roadside stands and farmers markets. Less expensive than in grocery stores, and much better taste.
Recently making the switch to Vegan and your videos have been great inspiration. Loved watching this as Superstore and Costco are the two main stores I shop at. The chocolate hummus with strawberries is fantastic 😁
Thanks so much!!
New Vegan here, 2 weeks. Thank you Sooooo much for this channel!
Kim Chi. I make huge batches and it is easy. Leave out the fish sauce or anything nonvegan. Once you learn the process, you can ferment lots of foods, especially pickles and sauerkraut. 😚
Hey Derek and Crystal! Just wanted to say keep up the awesome work, you guys have inspired me so much to be more active and healthy since ive been having health issues over the passed few months. Youre both so sincere, sweet, smart, and positive. Thanks for sharing the advice and love!
Green Onion Tip:
If you place the root plus round about an inch of it in a glass of water it regrows - just change the water every few days. No planting necessary 🤘🏻
Amy's Roasted Vegetable pizza, no cheese is delicious if you haven't tried it. We add our own veggies on top - baby kale, mushrooms, tomatoes, and anything else that sounds yummy then bake it. Way better than passable. I always learn something new when I watch your videos, and you make them a pleasure to watch. Thank you!
You guys are the cutest! I’ve been struggling with inspiration for meals lately, feel like I’ve run out of ideas! But it’s great to see people get so excited about food shopping, it’s getting me hyped to go and get some ideas flowing again, keep sharing the vegans meals please!
Speaking of chocolate hummus, since you cook chickpeas yourself, try making chocolate mousse with aquafaba! 👍😋
(It works with other kinds of beans too, att least aquafaba from black beans - and they can be used in baking).
I LOVE how you try to interact with the people working at the shops! It is such a small thing...which makes the biggest difference
Love you two! Such fun and great ideas!!
I will look for the Modern Crumble!
Omg why is crystal so adorable!!!
Grate the turnip, squeeze out the moisture with a tea towel and fry it in butter! Yum
Loved this!!!!!!!!! I LOVE popcorners!!!!!! The white cheddar and sweet kettle corn are the best!!!!!!!!
Regarding the bags... My husband & I just wheel the cart outside with all our things & bag (cloth bags) it as we put them into our trunk. Just an idea :)
Yall are seriously amazing.
Nice video! Daaaaim that supermarket it gigantic, and theres so much of everything it's insane.
OMG you guys are adorable!!! LOVE this channel!!!❤️❤️❤️
Grocery shopping is my FAVORITE so I loved this video 😊😊
These are my favourite kind of videos!! Thank you for addressing the plastic situation ( very balanced view ) you guys are so helpful for me as a new vegan 🌱
Love this channel. Crystal is so so pretty. You have a nice vibe between you!
The colors in the supermarkets were amazing. White balance was perfect too.
These haul videos are my favorite! I hit the like button before I even watch it!
the Kimchi is amazing and I also love the "Gut Shot" drink that was on the shelf below. You have to try radish kimchi! You guys rock!
Love the video as you both were telling the benefits,like which food has protein, omega 3 fatty acid.Amazing..🥰
Thanks for sharing
