I read the first part of this as, "I don't watch this because of the food," and was like, wait what? The food is amazing, why would you not watch it because of that?! 😂
I love how honest you are with cooking. I feel like a lot of TH-camrs would only show “perfect” meals, but it’s refreshing to see you describe dressings that don’t immediately work, seaweed tasting “meh,” and textures sometimes being mushy haha. I love cooking but have imperfect meals everyday, and it’s affirming to see how you show plant-based nutrition in a realistic light! 😄

I love your intuitive cooking method. I've become that way since I went plant based. Rarely use recipes, just throw stuff together, season, taste, correct if needed. Almost always really yummy.
I love watching your heartfelt down to earth approach to WFPB life. You keep it simple and real. Love all your workout videos. You don’t use exotic equipment to make gains. Love the information on nutrition and all the videos about amazing foods. Most of all I love your sauces. I feel they are what keeps each dish new even when it is the sam ingredients list. You keep all your videos clean from bad language and things that are inappropriate in my eyes. I real feel like I am your friend and you respect me as a person even though we have never met. I share your videos often.
1:55 Sun and blooming flowers are just one of my absolute fave parts of spring. I don't know how about you, but for me, seeing nature wake up makes me thrive :D
The variety of your diet is so crazy (in a good way. One of your meals consists of so many ingredients as my whole day of eating. But that's definetly an inspiration!
Hey Derek, I recommend putting one of those small metal mixer balls in your mason jar, helps mix things up and keep everything mixed. I add one to my smoothies to keep them from separating too.
Awesome, I like this type of video. I often recommend you to my friends, who are newbie vegans, your content is funny, educational and you're just the type of guy that can 'relate' to everyone.
ALWAYS love hanging out with you, Derek. Your meals are so inspiring - so truly WFPB. The plant docs should use you as a truly model WFPB no oil (mostly) vegan. You and Crystal rock.
Love the "ooh girl" 😅 just watched this video before breakfast in UK definitely put me in the mood for a clean tasty breakfast wrap... Have a great day
“gurrrrrl you make everything better” 🤣 I smile and giggle throughout your videos! I have to say you are the only male vegan influencer I enjoy watching. You have nice approach that feels accessible for everyone!
Oh - and thank you for showing us the gorgeous BC beach, parks, and other nature. I lived in the PNW for a long time and miss that scenery so much, so it is a huge added bonus when you take us with you outdoors. Peace and be well.
Inspired and motivated mate. I too have gained some unwanted poundage and some great reminders. Organisation is the thing I need back. Even if the recipes are easy to follow, got to get my ass down to the shops and prepare it when there's free time. Cheers my dude.
Love your videos! I would love to see a meal prep video where you prep 4-5 lunches “to go” for the week. Lunches that keep well, transport well, and won’t get soggy.
I really enjoy watching you and you’re workouts with cooking! They both help me keep working out everyday! And eating healthier. That’s all I want is to real lean! Like last night my wife and I went out for dinner. And i Ordered a black bean burger with Mexican rice! I’m still new with my new lifestyle of plant based foods. It’ll be 2 weeks this week
I like how your videos take us along and how you shared the cherry trees! A lot of peoples videos are just so scripted and boring and in one place so this is fun
I just love watching you two . I’m learning a lot from you! Since I just started my new lifestyle eating plant based foods! My wife and w went out for our date last. I ordered a black bean burger.
Seriously dude, enjoyed the show. Love the food ideas. Also, I would absolutely love to see the before and after shots of the abs :) I know, I imagine it might be a bit uncomfortable for you to show it, but it would really help many people understand what can be done with the before and after and also progress shots! I constantly struggle with deciding to cut or bulk after about a year in to lifting, and it would help to see your journey as an example!
Just the real you ! How authentic!! Keep doing what you do ,though I'm not there yet, you give so much hope to person like me on the journey to WFPD ! ❤
You’re the man guy! You have a energy good! You made me believe vegan is fucking nice! And you are so creative and smart! God bless you always , I’m very motivated by you!
I like getting new recipes and food ideas from your videos. I LOVE seeing the out + about parts around Parksville. We used to go there all the time during our vacations. I miss seeing it. Also, bonus Siamese cat content. 👍
I just love how natural You are. Always impatiently waiting for Your next video:) What's amazing is that my 8-year old daughter keeps watching them with me. She's especially amazed by your workouts, hah! Thanks for your continuous inspiration! Greetings from Poland.
The combo of flavours on that dinner meal is fantastic! I'm glad someone else does what I do, my partner always shakes his head when I put way too many flavours into one dish, but I just love them all! Thanks for the video.
great vid! keep taking us outside more. love all the beautiful spots and trails and watching tree pullups and running around playgrounds and beaches lol
I absolutely love your videos. Favorite vegan channel ever! I was wondering if maybe you’d consider making a video on your journey with your vegan nutritionist career and how you got to where you are now/any tips on starting. Sending you and Crystal so much love! 🌸☁️☺️🌸☁️
You are sooooo like me.😂😂Phone in the tree hanging from your feet in your backyard eating and drinking healthy stuff appreciating nature I think that’s why I like your channel so much right now. I feel like such a weirdo sometimes it’s kind of actually weird to see somebody who’s like me
I love cherry blossom season too. It's a shame it's so short, but I love it while it lasts. You know, Derek, your physique is terrific. The work you do on it really yields results. I want to eat more like you and Crystal do. It's real food with very little processing going on. You can see from the colours on the plates that it's going to be incredibly good for you, and you can see the results in the two of you. You always look so well. Thank you for another great video with lots of interesting ideas that I just wouldn't have had myself.
Yes Derek, a bit more cardio ,perhaps weighted, less pasta, pizza, bread, peanut butter, more juices, salads and heathy sups, also smoothies. In the morning I also have water or herbal tea and fresh beetroot ,celery, turmeric and ginger juice before or after exercising and my lungs capacity and muscle force is incredible, also the mind and the thinking are sharper. 2 days x week I work in a tree nursery and I basically train for 8 hours lifting and transporting trees or handling bags of compost, it gives such a great variety if movements a combination of weights and cardio. That purifies me from food and stress and and this happens in a natural environment with flowers and plants! No need of energy bars, only a good gluten free porridge with fruit and creamy smoothie ,following your style ,and fruit and vegetable juice, with some solid fruit, at work to keep me up until my more cooked style dinner at 5:30. It is always motivating see your videos. Claudio
Awesome video! I love the balance of food, exercise, and just enjoying getting outside! Your videos always give me a little boost to make healthy choices! Thanks so much for that!!
Beautifully colourful meals! Love the “recipes”...the InstantPot is amazing for that. You can get many veggies, legumes/lentils and whole grains into you with the IP.
I don’t workout much (or at all really :p ) so I have to eat way way less than you but I LOVE your food videos! You’re smoothies and meals always inspire me to add more colours into my diet 😋🤗
All of that looks so tasty!! Can you suggest some summer meal ideas?? You gave me some ideas w the zuch noodles! I need to pull out my spiralizer! Love the scenery (and cat) too. TY
i love making similar to what ended up in your instant pot! i call it LuckyDipDinner. but i dont eat a seperate salad of the zuccini noodles and capsicum cabbage & onion shreds. (i sometimes have digestion issues with veges that are hard cold & totally RAW) so i put those kinds of shredded veges into the turned-off instant pot when that luckydipdinner is finished cooking. i fold them thru so they get just a fraction softened and warmed. then when well mixed, i dish up and drizzle the sauce over the lot. YUM.
Looks good! Ive been making the mistake of eating too many brassicus veggies and bloating because of it. I need to add more of the other veggies like you do so well!
Amazing as always. Thanks for the regular inspiration! After realizing that you have the same air fryer as we have, now I see exactly our type of vegetable noodle maker... Basically kitchen soulmates 😂. I will use the noodle-salat-idea asap, looks tasty!
I love to watch your cooking demos. But I really love how you respond to cats. Like, you’ve been waiting all your life to see one in the wild and here it is! Welcome to the cat worshipper club.
I honestly don't watch this because of the food but because I love how genuine you are which is rare here on Yt. Thanks, you're amazing :)
Oh well thank you, I must be a good actor. Lol. I joke I joke. I really appreciate that and take pride in just being me!
I read the first part of this as, "I don't watch this because of the food," and was like, wait what? The food is amazing, why would you not watch it because of that?! 😂
You make the food look delicious! I crave food that fulfills!
exactly what I thought just before I scrolled down haha :)
Same! The food is great but his energy is everything.
I love how honest you are with cooking.

Or I just suck. Hahah. No I appreciate the comment man. I do try and keep it real so thank you.
I love how you’re now Derek from cinnamon nutrition, according to closed captioning.
🤣🤣🤣
Haha on no! They used to make fun of me in school calling me Derek Cinnamon and it hurt my feelings but I have no idea why, I like that name now. Lol.
That is actually a super cute name Lol

I love that you are a very genuine couple, eat healthy and make easy recipes with common ingredients
0:07 Such a throwback with this video. I just love when it gets warmer and you start your videos outside :D
Thanks Margaret!
Your channel is so nice and wholesome and I always want to give you guys a hug.
The variety of your diet is so crazy (in a good way. One of your meals consists of so many ingredients as my whole day of eating. But that's definetly an inspiration!
So glad to get your input on this topic. I need to be reminded to flood in the whole foods and minimize the calorie dense stuff!
This channel is where I get my weekly dose of nature haha Miss those Canadian landscapes and berries so bad!

The scenic shots were Awesome!! It’s nice to see the beauty where you live 🌲🐈
Mahalo for another amazing video 😎🤙🏝🐬
YAAAAAAAS I love it when you hit it with the Valentina. You've inspired my bf to cook and for that I'm forever grateful 🥲
I could watch these EVERY. DAY!!
“gurrrrrl you make everything better” 🤣 I smile and giggle throughout your videos! I have to say you are the only male vegan influencer I enjoy watching. You have nice approach that feels accessible for everyone!
Love that you appreciate nature D- lifts the spirits and create such a positive energy to your vids;) Thanks brother;)
I do watch because of the food @ times but i completely understand what you're saying about his "genuineness" for sure. Very refreshing.

Just got my 1 hour pump on the stationary bike bingeing your videos. Thanks for endless hours of entertainment and inspiration!
Thanks for watching some of the older vids!
Your neighbourhood looks so clear and well maintained. Jealous
Thanks for the content as always
Love your videos! I would love to see a meal prep video where you prep 4-5 lunches “to go” for the week. Lunches that keep well, transport well, and won’t get soggy.

Derek.. I was shocked to see you make the same preworkout as I’ve been making! I add 1 pack of propel or liquid iv for flavor too. Should try it.
Thank you for sharing the amazing view with cherry blossoms!! None here in Florida...so nice to see yours.

Wow, that was a great dinner dish, amazing how it all comes together on your plant. I’m going to try that chickpea lunch!!
these videos have ALWAYS and will always be very helpful and worthwhile ! please keep it up ! thanks for the consistency over the years💚
Thanks for the onepot recipe idea! Always nice to see you out in nature 🙌
I found some sauces at the store that use cauliflower puree for the base and they're amazing.
You should definitely start experimenting!

Oh that's good! Why is that, because I am not obsessing over it?
Our beautiful Pacific Northwest! Love your videos

Great idea! Thanks for the suggestion :)
Wow, the cherry blossoms are just trying to bud here. They in full bloom for u. So beautiful. I love outside vlogs.
Yes we got them early this year I think! Not too much rain in the forecast so they should stick around too!

Would like to see some gardening vids. I need some tips on growing my own herbs and veggies!
Absolutely love how simple your recipes are! You're also super funny :) Love talking to trees lol.
Thanks, Derek. Hope you have a good week.
Saving this to watch for the weekend, just had to pop on here to put up a comment and drop a like to my boy 🙌🏻👊🏻😊
You are so helpful. Easy to understand. Thank you from Texas

Love Love Love your easy approach to cooking/meals... Always getting lots of great ideas from you! Thanks!
You always inspire me to get outside more and I can totally relate to the giant jug of acv. I wish I could get smoked tofu in Utah though.
👍🥰 Love your energy, charisma, and charm. Thank you for sharing 😊
Love your what I eat videos, it give me ideas and it’s easy as well. 😉

Love your videos they are a great mix of smart food ideas and beautiful scenery ❤️ from a foodie/cat lover in Ontario
Loved the cherry blossom montage 🌸
I work at the McCormick plant that makes that everything spice...its a big seller.
You are very wholesome AND the food recipes are amazing too. Love all your videos ❤️
I too am on the vegan shredding journey💪🌱
Let’s do this!
Nice! Summer comes in pretty quick.
Beautiful B.C!! I can't wait to visit there again!! Great video :)
Cherry blossoms 🌸 are my absolute favorite. Beautiful shots!
Can’t wait to follow you on some more outdoor adventures!! 💕✌️
Great looking food snd scenery!

I love Maca powder in my oats, it tastes like a mix of cocoa powder and vanilla, almost like a Marble cake with cocoa powder in the batter :)
Always look forward to watching your videos 💕

The tahini sauce, so simple but so good.

never thought about cooking the quinoa and the lentils together. great tip :)
