I LOVE YOU LOLOL all these guy body builders I watch seem so cocky and "know it alls" but you seem just so sweet and funny and genuine !

These are the exact type of videos we want. Awesome vid man!! You are the BEST KZfaqr!

You're getting so good at vlogging and editing. Keep it up! Love the content.

You're the kind of person who is going to live until like 150 years old. Your videos make my day better ;D

Thanks for these videos! My wife and I just made the decision to go Vegan and we have been dealing with a lot of backlash from friends and families because they don't fully understand why we would go Vegan. I appreciate all these videos to help us out with our daily meals and gives us more ideas too! Keep it up! :)

Sometimes I sit in the garden and pick and eat. And in no time I realize I'm full. Love the fresh garden greens. Growing your own veggies is cheaper than the grocery store for sure.

Great video man! I appreciate how you're very respectful towards your viewers. It helps build loyalty.

you are simply awesome, and your positivity definitely goes a long way in terms of inspiration :) love your videos!

I am currently in the process of healing my gut as well after a long year of crazy abdominal pains and low levels of energy. Fortunately cutting out the gluten has initially made a huge improvement, now I am all vegan as well since 2 weeks. These videos are so extremely motivational and inspiring. Hands down to you sir, please keep it up.

My grandma Recently passed away from cancer at only 65 years old and I watched "what the health" documentary and I am so fed up with everything!! I want to go vegan and be healthy and live long and looking forward to learning more with your videos! Good job!

I love this kind of voice over videos! You voice is so calm to listen to and your meals look delicious 😊 Can't wait for your next video.

hi derek, love this video, please please please do more of these types as they are awesome !!! Also can't wait for the garden tour !!

I finished watching all of you videos yesterday! So I am so happy you posted a new one today!!

Hi Derek! Another great video! In the next Q&A please take a moment to share your opinion about meditation, wether you practice it and how often. Thanks

These videos have been super helpful and just so fun to watch! I recently decided to switch to a plant based diet, so it's definitely a change for my pantry. It would be great if you could make a 'kitchen essentials' video. Thanks for all the positivity and inspiration!

I love the way you eat. Your vibe is outstanding. Thank you for sharing your life with us

Just made the stir fry and sauce from this video and it was delicious! Thanks for all the great content. I'm not a vegan, but after watching your videos it's made me consider it since you make it look a lot easier and much more achievable.

Derek, when I saw your blender, I immediately thought of horchata (the H is silent). If you haven't heard of it, horchata is a Mexican drink that is basically ground rice dissolved in water. It's sooo refreshing and delicious, and I thought your blender would do it in a snap. The ingredients are: * 1 cup of long grain white rice, rinsed * 2 quarts of water * 1 cinnamon stick, broken in pieces * 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract * 1/2 cup of white sugar or agave nectar 1. In a large saucepan, combine the rice, water, and cinnamon stick. Let it soak for at least 3 hours, or overnight. 2. After soaking, bring it to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Allow it to cool. 3. Purée the rice mixture in your blender until smooth. Strain it through cheesecloth or a fine sieve. Flavor it with the vanilla and sugar to taste. Chill, and serve over ice, or just cold. Makes 8 servings, About 135 calories each. There are lots of recipes for horchata online. This one is super easy. Even better if you can include 2 cups of blanched and peeled almonds in it. If you add in the almonds, they call it Tiger's milk (but no milk in it).

So happy I found this channel! Easy to make meals!! Given me inspiration!!! Thank you for posting your videos

Really enjoy your videos! Very informational and equally nutritious. Thank you so much for the meal prep inspiration!

Cant be the only one who likes before watching

A good squeeze of lettuce at the end hey? 😂

I love coming back and watching your older videos! awesome stuff

I hear you about the small tummy! I forget to eat sometimes. THen I'm making big salads and trying to get all my nutrition in one meal. I usually don't eat til around 1pm. Ive always been like this. I love your videos! It makes my day!

I just found your channel and I’m literally addicted

dude that smoothie looked so good!

Went to the store today and ad a great conversation with the worker after asking him how his shift was going! Love your videos and your positivity!!

Love love loving the addition of the drone footage and crystal! I especially like to see what she eats because I'm female and her energy requirements are more in line with mine. I particularly want to thank you right now as my whole foods plant based diet just got off track after 3 years of being consistent and fulfilling. I have been craving and eating processed junk and seeing how nicely all your colours are presented has given me the desire to take better care of myself again. Thanks for the inspiration!

Honestly love the videos! You're a huge inspiration. Doing a video on how someone could lose weight on this meal plan would be cool. Not everyone starts of small and needs to bulk. A breakdown on how to lose fat and develop muscle :) How many carbs to eat...etc. Would love your feedback

gosh the girl so lucky this guy can cook.. and it's good nutritious food😍😍😍

im sooo happy I found you channel. I'm planning on minoring in nutrition in college and you seem very knowledgable and I love how you explain the benefits for specific ingredients. keep the awesome content!

This is like...before watch, I am learning so much from your videos Derek, thank you so much.

20.POUNDS.OF.BLUEBERRIES!!! 😱 i love your content btw- I went vegan 1 day ago and these videos are so helpful!

Never thought about poring out the oil in nut butters. Ill have to try that.

That last meal looks amazing.. i'm trying that tonight!! Love the channel, keep it up!

I just started watching your videos, I'm super inspired by your personality and lifestyle. Keep up the good content. For what it's worth, it's always interesting to hear advice, tips or just what's going on in a fitness youtubers life. Great work!

Im going to learn how to make some music and get that advice haha

20lbs of blueberries. Here in California it's $5 for a freaken 6oz box!!!

Really been enjoying your videos! You've been doing a great job

I’m watching all these vids and not even Vegan. Looks amazing tho

Fuck me sideways! I tried that peanut butter and dates sandwich and it was amazing! 🤤 Also, I don't think we have ever heard you talk about sleep/rest? How many hours do you get and/or recommend? Would be a good important topic in regards to recovery and adaption, yeah? Keep up the good work dude!

Derek that looks sooo delicious I'm salivating! All the colours and such a lovely balance between the cooked and raw!!!

I watched this video and started making the date sandwich for breakfast (I use cashew butter on toasted bread, add pumpkin seeds, 1 date chopped up small, sometimes 2 and it seems life changing to me. I feel so much happiness when I eat it. Must be a serotonin boost? I typically eat 1/2 of a papaya or other raw fruit for breakfast but I am enjoying this so much more. It taught me how I need to change things up bc I tend to stick with the same old same old for entirely too long. Thanks for a great channel!

$60 for 20 lbs is $3 per lb, which is cheaper than say trader joes, so not bad

OMG - who else was super scared for a moment at 1:11 that Derek was going to put the lettuce in the blender without washing it !!! 😱😱😱 Derek - a question: Is there any reason to eat Chia Seeds or Hemp Seeds instead of Flaxseeds? i.e. does Chia/Hemp have anything significant that Flax doesn't?

Awesome, keep it up man, you are smart, so simple , so healthy. one of the best videos I have ever come a cross.

I can't believe how fast this channel is growing. Love the videos and your positivity towards life!

I had never seen any other person other than my husband put dates on a sandwich.. now I have to show him this video

I want to learn this lifestyle badly. I just don't know where to begin

I will be forever grateful to you for showing me the way! 🤗

Just love your content man. You are so inspiring to me. Thank you!!

Did you mean lemon at 9:08😂

I never understand when people say they shop at farmers markets as though they are inexpensive. I have always found the prices to be pretty atrocious.

Love to see how your growe. Quality is getting better and better keep it up.

Always appreciate how much you encourage us to give you feedback and how often you incorporate things in your videos the subscribers have asked you about. You're the best Derek!

I have no idea how to start. I'm in the military and if we are training they do not offer any vegan options. Im scared that my body will freak out if I didn't eat meat then had to so I don't starve while training. I'm conflicted and I want to make the change.

These videos of what you eat in a day have been a tremendous help to me. Thank you so much for sharing them every now and again. Awesome! Keep sharing with us all. You are helping so many people, vegan or not, change their life!

Thank you for the insight as a new plantbased eater this helps a lot 👊🏻

I have been sending all my friends to your Channel. Keep inspiring us.

I'm a new subscriber and new to a plant based lifestyle and I'm so blessed to have found your channel. You provide a lot of information that others don't about maximizing your nutrients intake and I'm glad I found you. Many blessings

Always great and inspiring! Thank you!!

I'm looking forward to your garden videos, will be curious how you prep your garden beds, if you do it veganic-ly. I've been getting more into gardening myself this year. Keep raking in those subs!

I aspire to be a nutritionist and a dietician when the time comes, and you're such a great help for inspiring people to live their lives elated and vigorously. More power man!

Just starting my research on being a vegan. Your videos have been an amazing help to me. I am so inspired to go forward with this journey. Pls keep making more videos!!! Thank you

Made this exact meal tonight. Was amazing. Thank you so much. The dressing was to die for. I've shared the link to this so many times. Incredible meal. Can't wait until tomorrow where I can have more. Thank you so much again. Honestly that dressing was amazing.

Such a good inspiration. Thank you for all of the amazing content!

I haven't watched your video in a very long time I love your channel tho bro ...your whole vibe is very chill and relax

Man! Your life is just perfect! How amazing! Thanks for all the inspiration!

This is possibly the single best video I've ever watched! Mostly because most vloggers are so fake, and this isn't and is so smooth, and easy to watch. It's like how life should be!

Thanks Derek--all of your videos are very helpful and very well done!!

Awesome man! keep on inspiring!

Awesome video, you are an amazing influence to all who seek guidance in living plant based. Your meal choices are impressively clean and well sourced. Keep it up with the great videos! Thanks for all you do! - Your long time vegan brother from Saskatoon, SK

That dinner salad looks epic! Keep your vids coming!

I can relate to you so much bro, see this is a proper vegan actually watching calories and nutrition without sacrificing anything. more people have to open their mind.

I have always told my co-workers that dates and pumpkin seeds go so well together! the bitterness of the seeds is balanced out by the sweetness of the date :D now you included them it into a sandwich , I LOVE IT !

This is amazing!!! Deliciousss will definitely be recreating the dinner

This lunch with PB, dates, cinnamon, pumpkin seeds, blueberries, and side salad is one of my favorite lunches! I have it at least 3 times a week. So tasty and so healthy! Thanks for the idea!

Chyeaaa garden videos !!!!! Yeah these videos help so much!! Super grateful for you Thank you 🙏🏼

Enjoying your videos and good advice! And your meals look like those bowl meals you can buy in any major city, which is a great thing!

This was great! Thank you for sharing! I am also a fan of pumpkin seeds on open faced sandwiches- my boyfriend laughs bc it's so messy but hey that extra iron keeps me going! Definitely going to try that sauce - looks delicious and versatile 😃

meow meow love the kitties!garden shot wow!!! &that green glo on the smoothie !! and yes of course turmeric every day yumm yummm

You and Cristal are awesome, feeling motivated thanks 🌈

You are for sure my new favorite KZfaq personality. I usually eat a lot of vegan burgers and processed foods but all week I've been having just whole plant food and I feel great and can't wait to go to the farmers market this weekend!
