What I love about your videos that you make veganism look fun, tasty, easy and healthy, as it should be. Also the smiles. You smile all the time and share so much positive energy, keep it up!
Dude I’m not even vegan, but I just love watching your videos man. The charisma & energy you (& crystal) have is contagious. Such good vibes. & you also do inspire me to eat many more plants :)
Exactly! aha i did go vegan for a bit and watched all his videos.. but now i just like watching because of the energy they have... super uplifting and inspiring.. even though i'm not fully vegan anymore, still love it
Bro!!! after watching your content for the last 2 hours you have really inspired me with all your positive energy and different recipies. There is so much life in what you eat and ive been getting continuously from my family, that i need to eat meat and if i dont, where are you getting your protein from?, so your info is really amazing and after just finishing a 72 hour full moon water fast im going to become a a vegan and be plant based. I speak about being one with nature one with the universe and it just makes sense and aligns with my life. Thank you for your work and i look forward to learning more from you. Peace!!!
This is probably my favorite vlog you’ve put out! There was so much happiness, laughter, and positivity. It made ME happy! Seems like you guys had a great day together. You are an awesome couple! ❤️
By the way, I love following people like you. I am sitting at desk in my office in Florida. I love being with you on your journey to this place. Thank you of posting it. When I say sugar, I mean anything like honey, maple syrup, etc. Not any fruit sugars. I am like you. I add dates to my green smoothies. I am 64. I have been keeping away from Meat and Dairy for a long time. I so admire you both. There are many couples like you on youtube and I so envy all of you. I wish I could have lived my life setting up a channel and meeting someone who had the same likes and life style as myself. Hopefully, I am inspiring people around me!! My mom is 90 and I have her eating healthy. No meat and dairy!! Be well. Sheila
1 year vegan next week and I haven’t made it to ANY vegan festival yet! It’s been such a busy year, gotta get to one soon. Looks like you guys had a blast
I don't know exactly why but your channel is my favorite CZcams channel in general, not just about veganism. I guess you exude a lot of great positive energy!
You guys are just amazing. I love your vidoes. I have been plant based for the past two months and I love how I am feeling and I know that I am improving my health and helping the planet as well. Thanks Derek and Crystal!
my wife makes the best Jackfruit "pulled pork" for sure.... it is a summertime weekend get together food for us in replacement of burgers and such. Thank you for all your great videos, you both are inspiring the masses with your message of "AHIMSA" and good whole foods. keep doing you.
Trying to eat healthier.I had Breast cancer in 2015 and I have to go to cancer care every 3 to six months.My blood and immune system took a toll on the chemo and radiation.Eating and juicing to get my immune system back to normal.Thanks for these videos!
I had the opportunity to visit Victoria some 20 years ago and this video brought back some wonderful memories! And THANKS for the reCAP info! I really needed one of those...
Loved seeing the Vegfest. What other speakers did they have other than Earthling Ed? Would have liked seeing more of the vendors as well, maybe. You two are great- very positive and fun.
Hey! I’m kind of newish but have been watching your vids for about a month. I came across your channel because of your amazing backyard gym and stayed when I saw that you’re a vegan. You really helped me transition easier into veganism and I love every day of it! I started adding chia seeds, flax seeds, black pepper, and turmeric to a smoothie I’ve made for years to pump it up and love it! Now to add more calisthenics training! Thank you so much for all your help!
I'm curious about the calories in the food you prepare for us viewers. Are the calories u eat in a day designed for a workout? What would Chrystal eat? What would be healthy portions for a woman? Love seeing the island. Thank you.
Hey Derek, greetings from Poland. I recently started to follow your channel and I need to admit that in no time it became a big game changer in my dietary habits. Effects are great and I'm feeling great. Thank you and keep it rolling! By the way, you make a really nice couple, not only visually, but I also like your charisma. :)
I am really enjoying your videos. I just started my vegan journey this week and your videos have been really informative and helpful! Fellow Canadian here from Hamilton Ontario.
Holy wicked thanks for the shout out!!!!!! We were so pumped to meet you two!!!!!! You were both totally cool and awesome to chat with. 🤗 Fo real peeps they are as nice in person as on tv!
Love it brother!! It’s good to give our bodies cheat/rest days. That’s why we eat healthy so we can enjoy life to the fullest! I notice you have an amazingly positive attitude and great intuition of self love/care. I would be interested as im sure many of us if you made a video on loving your own body, maintaining a positive outlook while transitioning to a healthy lifestyle and healing your body through nature. As always love the videos and honor your mission to spread love( human and animal), positivity and healthy lifestyles.
First thing I noticed..your steering wheel is on the right side. Do you have the option in Canada for that, Derek? Just curious. I know in Europe the steering wheel is on the right, too. Anyway, so awesome to see a little bit of Victoria, BC, and get to experience Vegfest there. Those meals and treats looked rather yummy. :) Thank you for sharing your day with us. xx
Thanks for the awesome video guys. Looks like you had so much fun and great that we could enjoy it with you. Please give details on Chrystal’s Chai Tea🙏🏻
I was hoping to maybe see you guys this summer if you came down to Victoria again. Damn you COVID! Also, Earthling Ed was in Victoria?? Damn, I wish I was vegan back then
I've been trying to go vegan for a while now and have cleaned up my diet about 90% so far. I'm also trying to pass it on to my 3 and 7 yr old. Any kid friendly recipes?
I’m looking this video up when I make the trip to Victoria and I’m retracing your steps to enjoy the vegan food and check out the bees. I’m not vegan but I’m trying to convert slowly.
I thought you were going to film all the food at the festival 😔 but you didn't! Next time please do it so we can see the gorgeous food available. Thanks! 🤗☺️🙏
It was odd things seemed a little cool between you an Crystal at the start of the video. Great to see things warmed up between you two as the video progressed. The two of you are an ispiration and I was smiling through the whole video. Keep up the positive videos Derek, you are a welcome respite from the negativity that is being slung around among some of the other vegan CZcamsrs at the moment.
Does crystal have any good recommendations on using different types of tea or tea blends for health? I often like to drink something warm but dont always want the coffee. Thanks for all the great content you guys! #AMM
White, green and hibiscus Tea all have loads of antioxidants and are therefore anti-inflammatory. Green Tea is also good for your teeth as it removes plaque when you swish it around in your mouth. Be careful with hibiscus though, it's really healthy, but you shouldn't drink more than 4 cups a day, due to its high manganese content, it also is quite sour, which is why you might swish with water after to protect your teeth. nutritionfacts.org/topics/green-tea/ nutritionfacts.org/video/better-than-green-tea/ nutritionfacts.org/video/how-much-hibiscus-tea-is-too-much/
Hey Derek! Great Video! I live in Victoria, but unfortunately couldn’t make it to VegFest. But I’m glad you had a good time. Also, where is that place you pulled off to on your way there? At the 1:38 mark?
Simnett Nutrition oh Goldstream! Thanks, haha I didn’t recognize it. I drive past there all the time. I should really stop and hike around there sometime.
I find that mixing fruits and vegetables together just doesn't digest very well. I generally eat them separate. Not to mention it also tastes odd -- just doesn't seem all that natural to me to be mixing all kinds of stuff together at one meal.
You two are so cute, great adventure. It's funny that you said that little street reminds you of Glastonbury England as I actually live approx 40 minutes from there. Great video.😊😊
Hi Derek, i love watching your videos and have been for a few weeks now. I wondered what sort of nutrition course you studied? If it was a general nutrition course or a plant based nutrition course? I'm a trained Homeopath in the UK and have recently discovered 'what the health', 'forks over knives', The China Study etc and have now adopted a WFPB lifestyle as a result. I'm now thinking about studying to gain further knowledge and perhaps to help my patients/ clients too. Thanks, Rachel
You guys live in Parksville? Crazy! I used to live there too, I was flying out of Qualicum Beach (I’m a pilot). Mostly I’ve lived in Squamish before I moved to Hong Kong (18 months ago), but often still go climbing in Horne Lake right near you guys! You’re in such a beautiful spot! Two of my friends were just talking about buying property in that area earlier today! Great videos guys! Keep ‘em coming! Maybe i’ll See you guys at another veg fest one day!
A lot of potassium, what do you say? Isn't that bad for the kidneys? I read that above 4000 is a problem. For those who have kidney problems 3000 maximum. Please tell me
So, weird question : do you wash your greens carefully before you use them? Have you ever accidentally found a bug in your greens? It happened to me once and now I'm careful to wash them haha. I doubt it happens a lot.. but just curious if you wash before you load
Thanks for the video! I'm from Victoria and a recent vegan! so u just introduced me to so many places and things i never knew about before! looks like i got some options next time i wanna cheat/take some non vegan friends out :P
Looked like a fun time Derack! I must try and get to a vegan festival in Ireland! Mucho man luv coming your way, also digging the new wheels! Noice!!!!
What I love about your videos that you make veganism look fun, tasty, easy and healthy, as it should be. Also the smiles. You smile all the time and share so much positive energy, keep it up!
I have the green smoothie everyday and my dad makes it cuz I’m 11 and he puts different greens and fruit combos everyday.
Aawww
11 and vegan? That's mad
Santu b nice
Thanks guys :)
Appreciate it
Nice! I’m 13

"stay positive eat plants go have an adventure hug somebody" 😁😜🌾🌿😘
Not a bad recommendation!
I've been vegan for 10 years and love seeing other vegans keeping it real :0) Thanks for sharing!!
Always hitting that like button before the video even starts 😀🙌🏼
Thank you! I better keep making good content!
“We’ve never even been to Europe??

Chris Homer - Vegan Athlete lol same here, one year vegan August 6th :D
RyGuyFries no way, it’s about that date I “went vegan”, haven’t looked back since.
Chris Homer - Vegan Athlete the decision to go vegan opens your eyes to so much
congrats on your 1 year anniversary. I am also going on my 1 year anniversary so I am now almost a vegan toddler.
Love your videos Derek! It would’ve been amazing to see you and Earthling Ed converse. My two faves!
I know! It would be great to chat with him! I saw him there but he was so busy chatting with people and I didn't want to bug him.
Watching a lot of your videos, loving them. I'm learning. What is also extra special to me about your videos is, your both always so happy...
Derek can do pull-ups??? 😱😱😱I never knew 😜😉💪
Lmao right I was like "no show off. show all the way off." haha not even for me but since he works hard
Loved Green Cuisine Restaurant! I ate there and picked up some amazing treats before I caught my plane home from Victoria Airport😊😊😊
Crystal says the funniest things! You gotta have her on more! You compliment one another. Great vid, thanks!
"I'm the clinger" hahaha! Omg that made me laugh. I now love Chrystal! You guys are the best!
I don't know exactly why but your channel is my favorite CZcams channel in general, not just about veganism. I guess you exude a lot of great positive energy!
Everything looks so tasty! This year I really started to love plant-based food. I am so gonna look for a vegan festival here in Belgium.
Well the food looks complicates. You are the true simple and doable chef. Crystal keep up the good work you really add to the videos.
I loved watching you guys in this video having so much fun and on a diner date you both look so happy. Appreciate you guys.
Hello 👋 from New York- I’m very new( literally today- just showed up as a recommendation on YT) to your channel and u two ARE soooo cute and funny 😄
So you can look like a treat and also eat treats. My dream!
I'm glad I found your channel. I love your good vibes, and shots out in nature!
You guys are just amazing. I love your vidoes. I have been plant based for the past two months and I love how I am feeling and I know that I am improving my health and helping the planet as well.
Thanks Derek and Crystal!
my wife makes the best Jackfruit "pulled pork" for sure.... it is a summertime weekend get together food for us in replacement of burgers and such. Thank you for all your great videos, you both are inspiring the masses with your message of "AHIMSA" and good whole foods. keep doing you.

Great question, I am not sure. We got there late so we didn't see many other speakers.
he drives a 350z.... a legend!
You know it! ;)
Get drifting! 😉
Why is the steering wheel on the right side though??
Simnett Nutrition details please! I'm obsessed with cars too so happy to see you get something cool!
Bogdan Komlik because it’s an import, called the fairladyz

Glad to see you two had so much fun. Treats look good!
Vegtoria was so fun 😄 👌

I am amazed at how much you guys can eat.
I am really enjoying your videos. I just started my vegan journey this week and your videos have been really informative and helpful! Fellow Canadian here from Hamilton Ontario.
Leaf: gets near mouth
Crystal: “eat more plants!”

Haha, can't take her anywhere!
Holy wicked thanks for the shout out!!!!!! We were so pumped to meet you two!!!!!! You were both totally cool and awesome to chat with. 🤗 Fo real peeps they are as nice in person as on tv!
I agree with your reference to Glastonbury when you were down the narrow alley. One of my favourite spots 💚
Love it brother!! It’s good to give our bodies cheat/rest days. That’s why we eat healthy so we can enjoy life to the fullest!

Can't wait :) Thanks for your response. Have an amazing day
I'm always happy to get a notation for your video Derek.
I've been trying to go vegan for a while now and have cleaned up my diet about 90% so far. I'm also trying to pass it on to my 3 and 7 yr old. Any kid friendly recipes?
great lids! ad to that protective silicon jar jackets for taking glass mason jars on the go.
I’m looking this video up when I make the trip to Victoria and I’m retracing your steps to enjoy the vegan food and check out the bees. I’m not vegan but I’m trying to convert slowly.
Great to see y’all living your best life! Peace brother!
I thought you were going to film all the food at the festival 😔 but you didn't! Next time please do it so we can see the gorgeous food available. Thanks! 🤗☺️🙏
Try Bliss next time you are in Victoria...it’s delicious for lunch
Earthling Ed is one of the best
youtubers

Hey Derek! Great Video! I live in Victoria, but unfortunately couldn’t make it to VegFest. But I’m glad you had a good time. Also, where is that place you pulled off to on your way there? At the 1:38 mark?
That's Goldstream! Just outside of Vic on the Malahat.
Simnett Nutrition oh Goldstream! Thanks, haha I didn’t recognize it. I drive past there all the time. I should really stop and hike around there sometime.
Love your adventures 💕
Another great video Derek! Btw, i bought your ebook and am not regretting it one bit! its really great. Keep up the good vids
How nice and whole some relationship you have! Finally there is a CZcamsr girl without eyelash extension!
A Really great video. Enjoyed it 🙌❣️❣️. Traveling thru you guys... I would have loved to be at that restuarant...the food looked amazing.
I find that mixing fruits and vegetables together just doesn't digest very well. I generally eat them separate. Not to mention it also tastes odd -- just doesn't seem all that natural to me to be mixing all kinds of stuff together at one meal.
Fun day. Can't believe you went to eat out after. Wish I had your appetite🆗😊🆗
You two are so cute, great adventure. It's funny that you said that little street reminds you of Glastonbury England as I actually live approx 40 minutes from there. Great video.😊😊
Hi Derek, i love watching your videos and have been for a few weeks now. I wondered what sort of nutrition course you studied? If it was a general nutrition course or a plant based nutrition course? I'm a trained Homeopath in the UK and have recently discovered 'what the health', 'forks over knives', The China Study etc and have now adopted a WFPB lifestyle as a result.

Hey guys, great video as always! I’m definitely going to have to go to VegFest when it comes around again next year. Everything looks delicious.
You guys live in Parksville? Crazy! I used to live there too, I was flying out of Qualicum Beach (I’m a pilot). Mostly I’ve lived in Squamish before I moved to Hong Kong (18 months ago), but often still go climbing in Horne Lake right near you guys! You’re in such a beautiful spot! Two of my friends were just talking about buying property in that area earlier today!
Great videos guys! Keep ‘em coming!
Maybe i’ll See you guys at another veg fest one day!
that was fun, thanks for letting us tag along on your journey :)
Great video I really like the places you go.is there any way you can get the chai tea recipe out for us I would like to try
A lot of potassium, what do you say? Isn't that bad for the kidneys? I read that above 4000 is a problem. For those who have kidney problems 3000 maximum. Please tell me
Александр Щур unless you have kidney problems or other preexisting problems which may affect it it's pretty much impossible to get too much potassium
Road trip!!! Never heard of “dulse tofu”. Is that a type of tofu or is dulse an added ingredient? Great video as always D!
So, weird question : do you wash your greens carefully before you use them? Have you ever accidentally found a bug in your greens? It happened to me once and now I'm careful to wash them haha. I doubt it happens a lot.. but just curious if you wash before you load
just ordered your e-book. If only to support you. You are such a lovely couple!
my fav video's! what I eat in a day :)
Awesome meal! Great video once again 💚💚
Love you two!
Thanks for the video! I'm from Victoria and a recent vegan! so u just introduced me to so many places and things i never knew about before! looks like i got some options next time i wanna cheat/take some non vegan friends out :P
Looked like a fun time Derack! I must try and get to a vegan festival in Ireland! Mucho man luv coming your way, also digging the new wheels! Noice!!!!
Beautiful couple 😍😍!!!Thank you for sharing....I'm searching for how I can go and stay in vegan diet!
