Thank you 🙏 for another great video, especially your honesty about low points during prep 💪. Seitan recipe looks delicious 😋
Thank you Sara! Let me know if you try it out. It's so simple and delish!
Its refreshing to see someone have such balanced + healthy meals while prepping. 😍
I tried to make some raw rolls with seaweed, and I just couldn't bare the taste. 😭
Make sure to use toasted seaweed. Raw seaweed is not great lol. Oh, and don't forget sauces/ condiments.
Mo Ka You can’t eat raw seaweed. Some things are not meant to be eaten raw.
Natalie it’s so evident the time you put into these and I love that they are all uniquely you!
Love the list of ingredients, fitness pal info, you talking as you meal prep, your great cooking & shopping tips. 😘 I love your tastes & seeing George quietly supporting you!
Thank you
AWWW
I appreciate this channel so so much. It’s been a huge challenge and set backs with my lifting physique journey. These videos totally help get me out of my head.
Watched about 3 videos and I already LOVE your channel omg 😍
Natalie I think you're fantastic! You have a great attitude, plus some great recipes! Thank you for sharing your journey so honestly, I truly admire your tenacity and hard work! Keep it up!
Every time you had a video up my day is made. You’re the best and I love the high protein vegan options
AWW Thank you for the kind words...This comment made my day!
Totally bought Lupini Beans tonight after seeing these and I’m so stoked to try them! Thanks for sharing and being so transparent, it’s inspiring in so many ways :).
As I am working my way through your prep series I am constantly amazed at the number of vegan products I didn't know about...going to share this with a friend of mine who has started eating more of vegan diet...good stuff...keep it coming.
So nice to have a vegan macro counter to follow! Thanks for all the ideas!
Just found your videos recently and i find it so encouraging to see someone making high protein/macro tracking work with a vegan diet!! This has really encouraged me to continue in my vegan journey! Cant wait to try all of your recipes👍💓🍎
I love this video. Thank you so much for putting it out there. I also love that you share your posing. I love to see the different types of posing. It definitely helps me. 😁
‘In it to win it’ love it!
Always look forward to watching your videos while I get my SS cardio done! Thanks for being honest about prep! It’s definitely helped me get into that warrior mindset and to do whatever is necessary to be the best I can be!
AWWEE Thank you!
Crush it! You got this!
Your videos just keep getting better ❤️💪🏻🙌🏻🌱
Your content is always great! Added style points are a plus, but I watch for all your vegan meal ideas and to see your training. So inspirational and you have made my change over to plant based bodybuilding SOOOO much easier!!!
Thank you!
I'm so happy my videos and recipes helped. That makes me so happy.
Great job on your posing routine. It really highlights your hard work and the symmetry you've been able to achieve. Killing it!
Thank you so much! I'm getting so excited for this show.
You are just such a ray of sunshine ☀️ love your vibe !! My resolution is to make new recipes for my family. Love your ideas for food!

Your approach to prep is so genuine and balanced. Finally decided to take the plunge and compete this year because of you!
Good luck beautiful!
Great video! I love how detailed your videos are all the info you provide! Thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Thank you for being a part of it
You are so great at beeing an big inspiration!
Thanks for making these inspiring videos. I can’t get enough of them. I moved away from the city life into the farm life where traveling to a gym isn’t an option. As a 49 year old homeschooling mom of 3 I find it really hard to make time for myself with so much work surrounding me. I have developed chronic diseases from the lack of caring for myself. You have brought a spark back into me that I hope brings back good health without all the meds. Thanks for being such an inspiration!!!! Here’s to an amazing 2019! 💥
I'm so flatter. Thank you for the kind words. Let's crush 2019! You got this :)
Oh my gosh girl, your in depth tips and tricks and advice on food and meals and ingredients and workouts are literally my saviour!!! No pressure but you are getting me through my first bikini comp prep (my show is in MAY!!) and im taking all your meals and workout tips and its absolutely making this entire process so much easier!! Thankyou for being so hugely inspirational, i dont think i could do any of this without you! Following your socials religiously xx
Thank you Tia!
I'm so happy you find my content helpful. I can't wait for you to rock that stage, You got this!
Love your recipes, love your vibe, and love how George supports you so much. You give info on the good, the bad and the ugly of the vegan fit life and that all so awesome 😊💋❤
Thank you, Lynn!
I am so grateful for your recipes! I’ve started working out with a trainer for fat loss and he said I needed to change my macros to get more protein and fewer carbs which I’m not used to. I’ve watched so many of your videos and it has been a huge help!!
Thank you for the kind words. I'm so happy you're enjoying the content.
You are very uplifting! I just subscribed. Your videos are also very informational and real, love it. Keep it up!
So happy to have you here! thank you
One of my fav videos! Loved the recipes! Those soy curls look amazing. I bought some & they have been sitting in my freeze bc I couldn't figure out what to do with them, now I do & can't wait to make them. Loved the Seitan recipe so delicious, I'm obsessed. Made my 2nd batch today. I had it with sugar free bbq sauce. Yum! Thank you so much for your amazing videos. Love your channel ❤️👍
OMG!!! I did the same, I covered my seitan with BBQ, It was epic!!!!! lol
Thank you so much for the feedback! Let me know what you think of the soy curls. :)
New Years Resolution.... To watch more of your videos! You are Awesome❣️
I LIKE IT! Thank you so much for all the support! Happy New Year!
my goal is to use less plastic as well
That intro is so bomb 🙌🏼😍
Looking amazing! So strong!
Loved this video! Keep up the great work 👍🏼
Thank you so much!
Your workout videos are so inspirational.
I am also cutting down on plastic this year. I think it's something we can all work on and its easy.
YAS!!! Thank you
Love your vlogs, and food!
oh so glad I found this channel!!!! :)
WELCOME! I’m so happy you’re here.
Thank you
You inspire me! ♥️
Making the seitan this weekend. I gave the beans to my kids in their Christmas baskets! Was so excited to leave work to come home and watch the video...thanks!
AWWW Thank you!
I can't wait for you to try it!
It's delish!!!
Great vid! You said you were going to put put the link of the six ways to cook tofu... where ? Thank you for all you do - and your inspiration. 🙂👍🏼
czcams.com/video/4goMXf_uAcc/video.html
I love your content, I just started following you and I enjoy your videos! I also just started to use more glass wear instead of plastic for meal prep!
Thank you!
Yes, I really want to make more of an effort! I'm loving my new glass containers
Thanks, Natalie, for another amazing video! I appreciate your transparency about the process and all the hard work that goes into putting these videos out there. I love the nori wraps!! I also wish I had seen this video before I made my first ever batch of seitan. I used a recipe I found just searching on the web. It had no lupine beans, and came out SO SUPER CHEWY that I am having to cut it up into small pieces to get it down. I'm thinking about chucking the whole lot and starting over with your recipe, but one of my goals in 2019 is to be more reduce/reuse/recycle, so I don't want to waste what I have. Keep up the great work you're doing!!
Yeah... I tried other seitan recipes and they come out very chewy...I DONT LIKE! I found that by adding a second component like a bean, it improves the texture and flavor.
Now, I LOVE SEITAN! is one of my favorite staples. Please try my recipe and let me know what you think. You can use any other bean ( black bean, white bean, lentils, or chickpeas).
I have liked the versions I've bought from the store, and love the macros but wanted to try to make my own with flavor I like. I'll be trying yours and will definitely let you know!! Do you ever use miso paste? I'm thinking of using that for flavor.
Judi Cowart yes! It works really nicely with the nutritional yeast. Umami 😉🤤
love your videos. i'm not a bb competitor, but i am a vegan fitness enthusiast. i love your easy recipes and ways to incorporate treats cuz i, too, love my treats every now and then. thanks for sharing your journey with us :)
Thank you! It's all about balance.
I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos. I recently started a vegan diet (baby steps) plus bodybuilding, you are making it so easy for me to transition my lifestyle 👍🏻
This makes me so happy, thank you so much for the kind words. I'm so excited for you and this new journey.
I’m excited as well. Thank you for all the inspiration 💜
Nice drop set on those lateral raises...Soy curls are incredible...GREAT VID!
Thank you!
I saved that sushi recipe! That looked so delicious and voluminous. Perfect for prep! Can’t wait to make it!
Oh it is!
Thank you...the key is to get a really nice sauce... if you have extra fat macros to play with add avocado!
Good luck to both of y'all
Love your videos!
Wooo yeah Nat again 😙💗
your recipes are so creative!! do you have a cookbook coming up :) ? Great vid!
yes, currently working on it for the past year ;) hopefully soon.
Thank you!
That intro with George was hilarious. I can totally image my hubby doing the same thing 🤦♀️☺️☺️
Thanks for sharing the awesome recipes! I still need to get an air fryer- lmk what one you recommend 🤗🙌
Thank you!
I have a new air fryer that I won at a Christmas party.
I still really like my old one, I feel I cooked things quicker than the one I have now.
This is my first one: amzn.to/2Rb57AL
It's louder than other models, but it cooks everything very quick. I'm sure you can find something on Amazon just look for amazing reviews.
Awesome as always! Love how goal-oriented you guys are. Also, video request for a George-compilation. Just one video of his intros, video-bombs, parkour, etc. xD Hahaha
hahaahha yass
Great to get some ideas on healthy vegan meals. Thank you
Thank you!
So happy to find your channel
I'm so happy you are here!
Vegan gains baby👍🏼💪
One of my goals for this year is to build more muscle mass and get stronger 💪
you can do it!
K I'm going to try swapping maple syrup for stevia.. just to loose a few lbs
Wow just came across your videos!
Great job!!👍🏼♥️🎈
Your truly an inspiration🥰
New sub here
Thank you!
Welcome
Love your channel! You're an amazing inspiration. Is there another food I can use to replace soy/tofu in my meals?
Seitan! Here's a post I did on my favorite proteins, I have a few in there that are soy free: instagram.com/p/BrdJdwZl86j/
Great video. New year resolutions...it less sugar or less chocolate.🤣🤣🤣. Less plastic and definitely recicle as much as I can.
Thank you!
Great video! Love watching you! What are your macros when you are bulking?
Depends! It's different every time. They get high. I keep my protein the same all year, and a slowly add carbs and fat over time until I reach my goal. Ranges from (2,300 to 2,500 cal)
I don’t know if you will see this or not, but have you ever used dry jerk seasoning on your tofu or popcorn? I make a simple black bean soup. It has jerk seasoning, tofu cut in cubes, and a can of black beans. Just put it into a pot and voila! Soup. No fat of any kind. You could use any kind of seasoning you like. I noticed you like adobo seasoning. Peace and love to you. You are so sweet.☮️💕
oh my god yes QUEEN!!!!!!!!!!
Love stasher bags..
New year resolution, get more fit and eat more vegan items... THANK you for sharing!
Yas!!! Great one!
You can do it!
Cool video! You seem very genuine. I know I’ll never be a vegan or vegetarian but I am looking to switch to a more plant based diet and begin bodybuilding (bikini, like you)!
Thank you!
I'm so excited for you.
You look great! 💪
Btw, your ginger bread cookies and brownie recipes are awesome!! ThQ! Now if we can just find a nice high protein lemon bar recipe? Goal, live thru the next year. LOL
AWW Thank you! I'm so happy you liked them! I just ordered more protein so I could make more brownies. I just ran out lol
I’m trying this recipe this weekend but I’m gunna have to use a different kind of bean since I could not find those at my grocery store. Hope it still turns out good 🤞🏼
I've used white beans and black beans before... the flavor profile changes just bit, but it's still very good ;) you will get the same result. I can't wait for you to try it.
Wow! I wish I had seen your video before I made my next 2 batches of lupini seitan! I never thought of using my Vitamix to blend the beans. I used a food processor and the beans didn't integrate as nicely into a paste - there were bits and chunks left. Oh well, next time. Thanks for sharing!
Fit Meals and Moves Thank you! You will still get the same results, just a different texture. You can add different veggies too. It’s an amazing base. Possibilities are endless! Happy cooking 💕
Could you make an Italian meatball recipe video? How to make them with vital wheat gluten🙏🏼
Great idea!
do you ever get wrist/ hand pain and how do you heal? i ve been lifting for 3-4 years and in the last year my wrists hurt so much.
Yay! Less plastic 🥰
Perfect🙏
Hey Nat, I love your channel and also saw you with Kim Constable the sculpted vegan. What are you thoughts on her program? I have been doing her program over a year and now I have gained over 25lbs and very discouraged. Her motto was to up your calories before hitting the last phase and then shred it all off, but the shred is not going that well and after 12weeks and hardly any changes are happening. Just wanted to hear your thoughts on her program. I love your content!
I'm sorry to hear that.
I don't know about her program as I never done it. I haven't look into it.
Contact her, maybe she can adjust your program and macros.
If you're not losing weight that means you are still eating at a surplus or maintenance.
Just know weight loss isn't linear and it takes time. You have to push through the hard times to see change.
Don't get discouraged, use the extra calories and crush your workouts! You can do it!
My soy curls just came in the other day, thanks for the recipe! Btw how long do the soy curls last in the fridge if I were to meal prep them on Sunday.
They don't go bad easily. They keep pretty well for 7 days...after that, they lose some of the flavors. If something doesn't smell right, DONT EAT! I usually make huge batches for George and I...I air-fry them before eating because I love the texture. If you don't have an air fryer you can just skip that step and heat them in the microwave or a pan.
Keep going, love the series!!
Thank you Tiana!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Please please could you link me your recipe for blueberry protein pancakes? I saw them in one of your videos and have been dreaming of them ever since and now I can’t find the recipe xx
Absolutely! It's on my website ;) fitveganchef.com/blueberry-protein-pancakes/
woah u can include tahini in a weight loss meal. I get near tahini id eat like 900 calories of it easily lol
Can you recommend a substitute for the vital wheat gluten?
I'm sorry not for this one. Seitan's main ingredient is vital wheat. It would not be Seitan without vital wheat.
I'll share a GF bread recipe soon. :)
Have you tried oat bran as hot cereal option or cream of rice?
I have, I love them all!
When compeeting, are you still aiming for bikini fitness and would you ever consider doing another class? :)
I'm a bikini girl for life! I'm not interested in being more "muscular" or bigger to fit in another class. I'm happy with where I am. :)
Ha ... he's crowding ya ... George is crowding ya on these duo intros 😄 😄 ... but yeah , you two have to work on getting insync with your greetings. 😊 So a couple things I wonder were ... how many times a day, would you say that you drink a full glass of water ?? ... And with the DB hammer curls you showed here ... were those your max lifts for that particular exercise ?? So 12 more weeks until showtime ... keeping grinding Natalie. 👍😊
Q: how many times a day, would you say that you drink a full glass of water ??
A: I don't track glasses, I drink a gallon of water every day... that's without including SEVIA drink and coffee lol.
Q: DB hammer curls you showed here ... were those your max lifts for that particular exercise?
A: That was my last set of 12 I did 4 sets of 12 on hammer curls.
Thank you!
A gallon huh , yeah definitely an athlete or plantlete. 😄 And 48 reps worth of curls , so that's why it was struggle ... was thinking it might have been the weight. 😊 Sweet.
What is the purpose of the Liv Body Metal detox?
I honestly take it more for the benefits of spirulina and chlorella, and less for detox purposes...Both Chlorella and Spirulina are amazing superfoods.
Where did you get your containers? Marshalls,?
I got a few on amazon and some at Marshalls
These are the ones I order...amzn.to/2SJ0oDr
I love them!
Any recipes for a vegan with a soy allergy????
I have a few! Did you see the seitan recipe I made at the end? Follow me on my Instagram @fitveganchef I post a lot there. I also have recipes on my website fitveganchef.com
Could this be air fried?
Sometimes I airfry the seitan after slicing it....I make mini chips to throw in my salad
❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️
Goals, cut down 20lbs and pass CPA exam this year
YOU CAN DO IT! AND YOU WILL!
Love your videos!
