#vegandiet #veganprotein #proteinpowder
It's annoying that protein powder tends to taste bad and they only sell it in huge boxes, so you can't even test them before buying a year's worth of protein powder.
Best solution is to make em into protein bars, cookies and pancakes so you cannot taste it.
this tho, i have three bags of absolute garbage tasting protein powder
@Rebecca S Have you tried vivo life? i ordered the carmel cookie flavor and it’s NASTY but i’m sure the less adventurous flavors are good.
I’ve been making a kodiak cake copycat recipe of diy pancake mix using protein powder i don’t like, it wasn’t vegan but I just subbed soymilk powder and it’s actually pretty good
In Europe I always order Nutri Plus, they have like 10009 different flavors, but I always drink if with soy milk instead of water because else it tastes like nasty
But the base taste is more than ok
When you thought the kale seitan recipe was finally giving it’s appearance......
I forgot about this quest! WHY DID YOU REMIND ME. All the memories of unfulfillment (with tasty kale seitan) have returned.
Woa the flashbacks 🥺
Honestly, she did this on purpose. She likes messing with us.
After covid veganism is growing slowly in india And I'm putting my full efforts to spread it✌️Wish me guys
Man, I'll have to try adding beans to my protein shakes. Sounds so weird, but if YOU say that you can't taste it, then it must be legit...
I’ve recently tried putting chickpeas or white beans in my smoothies, it’s literally impossible to detect!
I consider Seitan whole foods. If bread is considered whole foods why not Seitan? It's literally just wheat that's rinsed 😆
@@kaminosystem I´d definitely be able to taste chickpeas, because I hate them and will detect their flavor about as quickly as a shark senses blood. White beans might work though.
@@miekekuppen9275 hahaha understandable
That's a good idea. What kind of smoothie would you try for chickpeas
My favorite high protein breakfast it just refried bean burritos with a glass of milk (plant based ofc). It's been a staple since i was an infant. Benefits of living in a Mexican household... we always have homemade refried beans in the fridge.
Recipe pls??? I just tried canned refried beans and they were 👎
@@haftrox1 Idk exactly but my family uses dried pinto beans, cook them, them put the beans in a pan with some (a little at first) of the water that the beans were cooked in, then mash. Than add a chile (for flavor not to eat) and let it cook for a bit. It’s not an exact science, we add more liquid if need be, more Chile if need be, more mashing if need be, it’s not an exact science. Definitely better than canned beans.
True Mexicans eat refried beans with lard 🇲🇽😤
@@hughjanus1135 Actually most Mexicans in Mexico can’t afford lard for their beans 🤷♀️
@@hughjanus1135 My grandparents and all of their family have never used lard...
When you were talking about what you ate and said "i had..." an ad started playing where a person held a huge kebab burger and i didnt realize it wasnt part of your video at first lol
@MdoubleHB whatever
MdoubleHB You’re an uneducated and ignorant person.
I just started watching your channel maybe two weeks back and I love your authenticity, your personality and how real you are! Been binging your old videos and how you transitioned from raw to just whatever vegan to high protein focused vegan and found it fascinating. I've been paying attention to how I feel on days when I eat a lot of protein and have found I have way more energy and feel better on those days so I'm starting to incorporate more protein into my diet. I was wondering how you get such high amounts in your diet and looking at mine I come nowhere close. So it makes sense when you said you use bars and protein powders too. I'm not coming anywhere close because I don't use any of that 😂
This is freaking perfect timing for me! Thank you girl!
Silk has a new high protein milk. 20g for 8oz which is kinda great!
Alpro are doing a high protein chocolate soy milk which is cool. 5g per 100g instead of 3.2
@@therabbithat That has less sugar too than the regular chocolate milk. It's really tasty, but still very expensive for essentially a "snack". I love Alpro, but I really wish it was cheaper.

Super powerful...
One of your kids: UUUUGGHHHHHHH!
Lol, it was like it was on cue.
Thank you for helping me out here! ❤️ (also could be a nice series where you show a healthy/balanced/high-protein/normal day of vegan eating without a specific food/ingredient, I think that could help a lot of people with allergies, other dietary restrictions & stupid taste buds haha)
You got me hooked on those Nugu bars, especially since my local Kroger recently started carrying them. I can't walk down that aisle without grabbing a few.
For anyone that hates protein powder: I am with you. Unsweetened soy protein has changed my life. Whole Foods has an unsweetened vanilla, but my favorite is the soy protein from true nutrition. When mixed into a smoothie, the only thing you notice is a slight texture if you do a full scoop (but each scoop is about 30g of protein, so a half a scoop doesn’t hurt if you don’t like the texture). They also offer little testers of each of their flavors separate from the protein if you want to try them for cheap 😊
I literally just started getting True Nutrition's soy protein after a couple years of using Vega's pea protein stuff. So much better tasting and higher protein to calorie ratio! Only thing I'm not the biggest fan of is how gooey and thick it can get, have to figure out why that happens sometimes, maybe I need to add more water or something
Thank you so much! Lately I've been relying too much on protein powder to meet my protein and calorie goal for the day, and most of my protein comes from soy... I want to mix it up a little so it's nice to get some ideas. I need to make seitan again, and I'll definitely be putting beans in my smoothies lol
Loved this! Would love more of these
you can easily get enough protein as a vegan without powder. the only case where protein powder is semi-essential is if you are a serious strength athlete, and is only absolutely required if you are a bodybuilder or strength athlete who also has very low body fat.
Love your videos!!! Awesome information.
“I don’t really like to be in any deficit” 😂
will tennyson has a recent video with lots of great minimally processed high protein vegan meals
I love him!
@MdoubleHB XD
@MdoubleHB You're a fucking dumbass hahahaha
Thank you! Would love more of these.
Yesss so excited for this one
This is how I eat everyday lol my parents don’t have the money to be buying me mock meats and what not I usually get around 80g which is fine for me as I’m only 15 and I don’t feel the need to get an excessive amount of protein
80 g is plenty for most women. I shoot for 75 g (I´m 5 ft 8 and pretty active) to make sure I stay satiated.
Just keep in mind to eat more if you're hungry - protein or otherwise! Even though I didn't really change height or weight after the age of 14 or so (I just slowly shifted from looking like a teenager to looking like an adult woman), I still ate a lot more as a teenager than I do now in my late 20s. Something that my mom would say would be 2-3 servings for her could easily be a large but relatively normal lunch for me, and I'd still be hungry for dinner that evening. At 15, you can still go through growth spurts too, and if you do you'll definitely be pretty hungry for a few months! For me as an adult, I'm moderately tall with a naturally very solid build, so 80-110g of protein was what I found myself eating when I was tracking and not really trying for protein, albeit on a non-vegan diet
@@harmonicaveronica yup! I make sure to listen to body like today I was just a lot more hungry than usual so I ate a lot more. I do track my calories because I am trying to slowly drop a couple pounds that I’ve gained over quarantine, but it’s not obsessive. Like today my body needed extra fuel so I ate more calories without feeling guilty.
I hope you will see this because I really want you to know, that I appreciate you so much. You are such an enrichment, not just for the vegan community, but for the whole mankind! :D We need way more people, that are as thoughtfull and reflective as you are. You do not just have an opinion, you seem to always try to see the whole picture. The most important fact to me: You take responsibility for your actions.
Thank you so so much for being who you are!
Yes a video I NEED! Thank you
You can get pure lysine powder. It only needs a half teaspoon or so to fulfil your daily requirement. That lets you not worry about balancing out your amino acids and get closer to the vegan ideal of picking up your protein from all the low-lysine but protein-containing foods you eat throughout the day.
None of the problems of bad flavour of protein powders apply since, worst case, if you don’t like the lysine’s flavour, you down the tiny amount of lysine in one.
I need to try seitan! This is super helpful!
You said seitan...kale seitan?!? 😀😂
0:50 You can make "Wash The flour" seitan from simple bread flour which is probably even easier to find ;P
Plus, most people actually enjoy it much more as it does not have the gluten aftertaste!
.
P.S. Bob's red mill has been rated by many as the most gluten-aftertaste vwg so if anyone does not like it, try another brand!
i’d love to see more fdoe challenges! like no nuts, no gluten etc to inspire vegans (or people trying to eat plantbased) with dietary restrictions :)
I do mock meats and what not but they're sort of a "treat" food. I don't do protein powder. I have never found a protein powder I could stomach, neither before or after becoming vegan.
eden foods one ingredient soy milk has 12 gr of protein per cup
Your vegtable soup looks yummy!!
i would love to see more of this
Wooh to Fred Meyers! I recently started buying the Silk Chocolate Protein Chocolate Milk (20g per serving). I add it to my smoothies and end up with like 30g of protein total. I don’t really like the taste of protein powder. I’d rather spend money on tofu, beans, lentils, seeds, nuts, anything like that...rather than a big container of processed powder. I really like the Silk Ultra for a protein boost to my smoothies! I think it’s a cool replacement for those who like smoothies and aren’t too fond of adding protein powder. However, my partner uses Orgain Organic protein powder (vanilla bean), and it tastes pretty good in the smoothies I make for him! I sneak tastes sometimes. xD
Seitan is getting really popular on TikTok. It's blowing peoples mind lmao...
It looks so good! I didn't know it existed.. I wanna make a seitan burger lol
Loving my “hail seitan “ shirt I’ve had for several years, lol.
@@JennRighter 😆🤣
Thanks you Tibet !
Does anyone know what protection powder she uses? ? Or please refer me on a video where she discuss it.
this is great, thank you
You can make your own seitan out of normal white flour. It's really easy but a bit of a mess and takes some time.
No, That would have almost no nutrients or protein in it. Might as well eat cake, it's more nutritious 🍰
"Give me blue!"...so cute.
You've said you're in the pnw before.. you must be near or in western wa? lol I'm up in gig harbor and the snow was not fun to be in.
What can you use a replacement for coconut milk in the curry?
@Unnatural Vegan I'm not sure if you've ever addressed this, but do you know (other than aiming for a few servings of legumes a day) vegans should do in regards to lysine intake? I'm getting estimates of anywhere from 30mg/kg to 12mg/kg which is a massive difference when you add it up.
She has a vid called "we need to talk about lysine" check it out 😊
I'm going for 2g a day, it's hard but if you have the cold sore virus you will pay dearly in very short time if you let it slip. Make sure quinoa and stick to recommended servings of seeds and nuts, not extra, because argenine ( doesn't matter if no cold sore virus )
@@therabbithat Thank you!
I live in Texas so I feel you about the snow.
Do you live in Texas??? We got like 8 inches or something during the storm. Power on and off for 3+ days
Nothing hurts my tummy more than vital wheat gluten
...
I can do whole wheat flour, bean and everything in between.. but that is particularly troublesome
Great video 👌👍 thank you
In my country there are starting to appear vegan alternatives to milk-based products, but there is still not much of plant-based meats which aren't soy-based. Most of these meals look easily doable and I'll definitely try at least some of them
An article was just published in Australia about how terrible almonds are for the environment. I’m actually thinking about not sending my bee boxes to California next winter because of this impact...aside the fact that I only ever get half my colonies back alive.
@@RestingBitchface7 You don't really need that much the almonds if you find available at your local market some other fatty substitute, which is anyways better than consuming products exported from half the world away. As Europe does not produce that much soybeans it's good to learn about alternatives which might be produced more locally (country of origin is stated on most product labels or at least in the supermarket price labels around here).
Thoughts on leucine? Apparently it's the 'key' amino acid for muscle growth?
Edit: fat thumbs
Can you do a gluten-free day? Finding it very difficult to try veganism w/o bread, seitan, etc.
I have been gluten-free and Vegan for 15 years. Focus on beans of all kinds, tofu, veggies, seeds, nuts, herbs, plant -milks/products, beyond meat products, soy curls, rice, quinoa, p.b., raisins, salads etcetera!
There is gluten free vegan bread! And I just eat a lot of tofu instead of seitan. It's not as flexible as seitan but it's still good. And the new mock meats like beyond are made with pea protein instead of wheat.
Lol that's so easy, who needs gluten. So many other things you can eat.
I'll say this, you probably can go vegan and gluten free yet have a way more diverse diet than you do now.
I don't think there's any good reason to hold you back
Beans, soy, tempeh (tempeh is high high protein), nuts, seeds
For a high-protein option, you may wanna check out TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein)!
I love nut butters but don't buy them any more b/c a jar only lasts a few days.
Hello and have you thought about live streaming on twitch and starting your own podcasts in the future
I don't really have the set up for streaming and don't have anything to stream if I did (games?). But thanks for the suggestion!
Okay that good and have you seen wonderwomen 2 movie / to all the boys I’ve love movie and marvel wandavision show and bridgerton on nextflix and what do you think of the super bowl game and the halftime show with the weekend couple weeks ago
How old(-ish) is tiny baby? I have a 14mo and I noticed you put some salt into the family curry. I'm never sure how much is safe for me to add into our family meals!!
Sorry I know I'm not swayze but I don't think "tiny baby" is particularly young anymore, those are just the names that have stuck for her kids!
I think tiny baby is about 2 and toddler is around 4
No orange juice?
Wow
I would imagine you like most juice fresh squeezed
She said somewhere one that she cannot drink orange juice, especially freshly squeezed, because she drank so many when she was raw.
What do vegans eat on Thanksgiving
Summary?
The British call em toasties too 😂🥰
well soymilk.... with tofu is probably the most common processed vegan protein...
this amount of fiber and legumes would absolutely WRECK my digestive system lol
Yup
Thats why she has said in her videos that she has terrible gas lol gross
Yeah, definitely if you're not used to it! Your gut enzymes adapt though if you increase intake gradually
Hi. What is the app called you use tu calculate nutrients?
She uses cronometer
I am confused how you are figuring out your protein percentage. Maybe I misunderstood. I heard you say you are shooting for 20% of total calories you consume. Then at the end you said you were at 85 grams of protein for the day being 21%. 21% of 1500 is 200 is it not. Please if there is a way to let me know how you figured this I would appreciate it. I am struggling with my doctor's orders of eating a high protein meal plan. I just can't seem to get to 100+ per day. Apparently, you also only reaching 85 or am I wrong?
I love your channel
Protein is a variety of amino acids. Not all of them is available from plants.... can someone explain?
@Chispa Aguilar ok good luck with your health/body experiment
@Chispa Aguilar vegans expect their bodies to convert ALA to DHA and EPA
make all the vit D from sunlight
convert Beta carotene to Retinol
Plant iron to heme iron
Rely on phytate rich "zinc" sources
oxalate rich sources of "calcium"
lectin rich sources of "protein"
nevermind iodine
magically make all the right amino acids in the right balance
while relying solely on the bodies own cholesterol
and pushing the limits of fiber intake
with constant insulin release, thanks to carbohydrates and fructose
and then throw a B12 supplement on top of it and think all is well.
@Chispa Aguilar Facts are veganism unfortunately plainly lacks a lot of essential nutrients, and only has the pre-nutrients, putting lots of stress on your body. Not everyone has the same conversion rates, so its an experiment on yourself, to find out on "your journey" what supplements you will need, as you experience small and unidentified ailments over long term and possibly illness. Vit D and Omega 3, ZInc etc, nevermind B12 are not small factors in health. You can check different peoples long term experiences by searching ex-vegan. Or why i'm no longer vegan. The excessive amounts of fiber can harm your gut, and the if foods aren't prepared correctly anti nutrients may be a concern as well. The gut brain axis is also relevant in this regard.
On top of that eating plants, do not eliminate all animal deaths. As crop deaths is an inevitable result in big farming practices. And general veganism relies a lot on mono crops, which is harmful to the soil and environment, as well as shipping fruits etc from everywhere to everywhere and highly processing foods. Its very focused on consumerism and technology. It's not actually the good thing its made out to be. I have put a lot of research into this tbh. Supporting small local farms, growing seasonal and local things, with good quality animal products preferably regenerative farms for proper nutrition and taking care of the environment is actually the most mindful way. It also eliminates excessive plastic packaging and shipping as well. In the end veganism is just a ideology based on a few farm animals. Not really considering the whole picture. And people are willing to lie to promote it in whichever way. Good luck to you.
Cool video, But why do you need 100g of protein ?
I think she does that because she lifts heavy weights.
Gosh darn it just give baby blue already 😂
I consider Seitan whole foods. If bread is considered whole foods why not Seitan? It's literally just wheat that's rinsed 😆
Never really thought about it that way
You should try doing a high protein ,gluten-free, soy-free and peanut-free what I eat in a day.
Oof! That'd be a challenge!!!
So just a day full of beans. A shitload of beans.
@@MrDernagon 🤣 shit-tons of beans, lentils, seeds, nuts, rice, oats? I reckon I could do it for a couple days actually, but it'd get dull pretty quick! Esp if it had to be wfpb
@@hannahmitchell87
Yes haha. TBH to me it doesn’t sound too hard. Just lentils, beans, nuts, seeds and other grains. (:
@MdoubleHB in that case I propose a test. Let's go to the airport together. You can run into every airport bathroom and lick the toilet seats while I watch. If you don't get sick from the imaginary viruses then lunch is on me.
why do you refuse to acknowledge kale seitan?
The recipe probably sucks
%20 of 2000 calories isn’t 100, it’s 400. %20 of your calories didnt come from protein, 100/2000 equals %5.
🍍 +white bean +mochi 👏
No gluten plz
Gluten rocks, you should tolerate it! Sorry if you don't!
How did you track how many calories you burned?
Chronometer has guesstimates
unnatural vegan becomes a family vlogger /s
Imagine feeling full on 1500 calories... does not compute
Hi!
Yay new vid :)
Can you respond to that vegan teacher being banned on tick tok?
Also great video! Protein is boss!
I don't understand why you feel the need to consume 100 grams of protein a day. Body builders may need that much and seniors need slightly more than people under 65, but in your case, most plant based doctors concur that 50 grams would be ideal. (Of course Dr McDougall would recommend less, but he's not anyone I would follow)
Is there a reason to reduce soy consumption? I eat soy at nearly every meal. Is there evidence that this is harmful?
the science says soy is fine, but some people are sensitive to it. i am one of those people so i no longer eat tofu but i use soy sauce and don’t really avoid soy lecitin. i don’t drink soy milk or choose soy protein though. just makes me break out and my stomach cramp a bit
Brian turner ate soy for every meal for months and his testosterone went up. I’m not aware of any other concerns so I doubt is has the potential to be harmful in any way. Unless your allergic, but that goes for all foods.
I think she was just trying to give variety not just all soy all day lol it’s perfectly fine to eat. I eat soy at every meal too I think it’s common when your vegan it’s just easy.
Don't think so. There's a lot of baseless anti soy arguments in the bro science fitness world though, sadly. Apparently eating cruciferous vegetables alongside soy is good.... Can't remember why though! 😅
Nah soy is great. Variety is just the spice of life
Bean eater here. Beans on every meal. And no, it does not make me gassy.
The thing I have against vegan protein powders is not the taste but the price. So f---ing expensive!
Satan? Vegans eat Satan? That's breaking news!
Lmao
Seitan worshippers ❤️
@@georgieroberts8697 I do hope the Seitanists take over the world, lol
Never been first.
You are really cute in this video. I dont mean physically ..although you are that too. But just. This was a sweet video.
Excellent video Unnatural Vegan I don't buy protein powder either probably because of down to price I think it's expensive and you would be cheaper and get more nutrients from the whole plant foods ingredients in the powders. I eat a mixture of seeds daily so will get protein from them and other whole plant foods. I don't agree that it is hard without protein powder and mock meat because I don't eat either and manage ok so I think that's misleading especially to non vegans who are considering the vegan lifestyle.
Some protein powders are super cheap, I wouldn't rule them out based on price. I think mine is 10 Euro for 4kg or something like that

Freelee’s taken pot shots at UV for years. It’s never stopped her.
To be fair UV is very unscientific, idc about freelee tho. Just don't listen to what advice UV gives as she is not credible

@@doyoulikeoats5084 so you think Freelee is more scientific than UV? I'm not saying I stand by UV's insistence on so much protein is necessarily the way to go, but to compare Freelee with UV is not correct.
And of anything to be upset with UV about, it's her embarrassing political "hot takes," which are quite laughable.
@@doyoulikeoats5084 None of them is scientific. Freelee is in the high-carb vegan cult, UV and cheap-lazy-vegan are in the high protein vegan cult

$60 a week for one person if you eat like that every day...yikes.
I mean you can buy in bulk and some of the stuff like beans and lentils you can get dry which is cheaper, but yes just even eating healthy is expensive
I never understand how anyone spends so much on food haha. I eat a whole food pb diet and can get 100 gram of protein, for like 3£ a day
Don't eat like this
Im vegan and i barely spend anything on food.

These videos always blow my mind. My one meal for the day was this morning after chores: a ten ounce butter-braised steak, a strip of beef liver, six egg yolks, and a glass of raw kefir. I was filled, happy and not hungry all day, worked hard until 8pm.
The volume of food that vegans have to eat to have the same nutrient benefit and satiety is just mind blowing.
