Today I'm sharing my winter to spring eco and vegan capsule wardrobe essentials!

Want in on a little secret?

Most post days I spend so much time in front of a screen, laboring away, that I almost always end up baking something when I finish. In order to celebrate with something delicious? Sure. But also to have something manual to do that doesn’t involve screens. And baking is such a gratifying task, isn’t it? Unlike many other tasks you may do around the house, there’s a final product that involves eating. My favorite. (And thanks to this frequent post-baking pairing of mine, I have a couple yummy recipes that I will be sharing with you soon soon soon. Well, as soon as I figure out how to film a recipe video in our kitchen that isn’t just an overhead shot…)

The good news is, though, that I’ve figured out how to shoot capsule wardrobe content. (That is… I got a clothing rack – essential.) So today I’m delighted to share with you some of my favorite eco and vegan pieces from both my winter and spring capsules! Hooray!

I know it’s tricky to outfit yourself all in eco… what with most sustainable brands being online, and therefore, out of “trying on” reach. I am so aware of the challenges, and, trust me, I feel your pain. It’s also true that sometimes buying from eco or sustainable brands can be a bit more expensive. But… be that as it may, these days we can’t just turn a blind eye to the sinister fast fashion world. (Definitely watch The True Cost if you haven’t yet.)

Well, you can, but you may not sleep well at night. And chances are, if you’re visiting Veggie Magnifique, you’re seeking to live better and sleep well at night. The key here? As always – Progress not perfection – i.e. one piece at time {...}

In this episode of Abbey’s Kitchen , Abbey is reviewing one of Ellen Fisher’s What I Eat in a Day video, featuring her family. Let’s take a deeper look at their lifestyle and what they typically eat in a day.

Okay, right off the bat, super adorable kids. Also great that her kids participate in the kitchen. BUT, Abbey’s not a fan of big quantities of juice for children. When juicing, you’re losing out on a bunch of fibre, and it’s best to keep your kid’s juice intake to 1/4 cup a day.

Abbey recommends you use the pulp to add to yogurt, oats or dehydrate it and turn it into fruit leather.

Yes avocados are a great source of healthy fats especially for a growing babe, but I would add some variety of the meal and not just serve up fruit with it. Ideally some source of iron like pulses.

Side note, looks like Ellen is just having papaya fo breakfast which is a whole lot of fruit and would love to see some protein. But Abbey loves how independent Sandy is and how Ellen lets Sandy discover the food on their own.

Abbey is loving that they’re still breastfeeding! Abbey is still worried about the lack of iron in the meal so far.

Looks like lunch is a smoothie, and Abbey wished she wasn’t seeing so many liquid foods. Abbey likes seeing the hemp heart and spiriluna. But looks like Sandy is enjoying more whole pieces of food.

Abbey would like to see some more variety in the fats Ellen is offering Sandy and not much variety in texture. Abbey is not a fan of the addition of sprouts, because sprouts are made in a warm environment and theres a higher risk of food borne illnesses. So cooking them instead of raw is better.

Let’s look at Sandy’s nutrition. It looks like Sandy is meeting his needs but is far from balanced.

Abbey is hoping the family is supplementing vitamin B12.
Abbey wants to see some more iron, because it looks like Sandy is getting around 1mg of iron and it’s recommended to get 7mg. Abbey would have liked to see more zinc foods. Finally, Abbey would have liked to see some more vitamin D rich foods.

Abbey is no way wants to shame another mother and their family but when Abbey sees a YouTuber sharing their life and recommending what to feed their babies, Abbey has to put on her research hat. Feeding a baby a vegan diet can be done. It just needs to be followed carefully, ensuring all the vitamins and minerals are accounted for. It’s important we focus on feeding our kids a nice variety of foods and texture.

If you want to feed your baby a vegan diet, make sure you’re speaking with a Registered Dietitian. You want to make sure you are getting the right information from a trusted professional and not a vegan YouTuber.

If you liked this video, be sure to give it a thumbs up! Leave me a comment below on what other YouTubers What I Eat In a Day you want me to review. Thanks for watching and I’ll see you next time on Abbey’s Kitchen!

So many awesome vegan options to choose from!

⁣This video explores the benefits and considerations of vegan nutrition, a plant-based diet that excludes all animal products. The ⁣ video discusses how a well-planned vegan diet can provide all the necessary nutrients for good health and reduce the risk of certain diseases. However, it also highlights the importance of being careful to ensure that you are getting all the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that your body needs. The ⁣ video emphasizes the importance of seeking guidance from a healthcare professional or nutritionist when adopting a vegan diet to ensure that you are getting all the necessary nutrients for good health.

Rheema Calloway and Ronnishia Johnson are The Vegan Hood Chefs, a food truck and catering business that turns Creole classics into healthy vegan offerings in the city of San Francisco. The duo are determined to feed disenfranchised communities, particularly Black and brown populations, with accessible vegan food that tastes good, like their oyster mushroom po’ boys, hearts of palm crab cakes, and more. Rheema and Ronnishia, both longtime activists and organizers, are still learning about veganism but are inspired by the positive health benefits of eating plant-based to revolutionize nutrition in the hood.

Max recently turned one year old, and we thought we'd compile our journey over the past 6 months, introducing him to solid foods on a plant-based diet. From purees, to smoothies, to baby led weaning, we've tried it all! Hopefully you will find this video both fun and informative, and a good jumping off point to continue to do your own research. This is just our experience, and we are not experts, so be sure to educate yourself and consult your healthcare practitioner if you're a parent introducing your child to solid foods!

Introduction to a Vegan Diet For Muscle Building (0:54)

Before we look at the exact foods for a vegan muscle building diet, it’s important that you also make sure that you’re on the right muscle building training program to see the best muscle gains. So in this section, we’re going to give you some of the basics of a muscle-building training program.

How to Set Your Muscle Building Protein Target (2:26)

Whether you’re eating a plant-based meal plan or not, the first focus for a bodybuilding diet is to lock in your protein target. Proteins are the building blocks of muscle gains, and we recommend getting around 0.8g-1g of protein per pound of bodyweight daily. From this target, it will be much easier to work in your protein foods for the day, along with your carbs and fats. And this is especially important for a vegan bodybuilding diet as protein sources are a little more scarce.

How Many Meals To Eat Each Day (3:24)

As with any diet, there are a variety of ways that we can approach scheduling out your meals for the day, in terms of both timing and amount. As long as you’re hitting both your protein and calorie targets for the day, it really comes down to what is going to the most convenient for your schedule. As you’ll discover in this video, for a vegan muscle building diet, we recommend eating around 4 meals per day so you can spread out your protein intake.

Calorie Target for a Vegan Bodybuilding Diet (4:11)

Another important consideration for your vegan bodybuilding diet is, of course, determining your daily caloric intake. Because if you’re underrating, your muscle gains will suffer, and in this video, we will help you determine your daily calorie target for building muscle.

Meals for a Vegan Bodybuilding Diet (5:17)

Again, there’s a fair amount of variety here based upon your daily schedule, but to help get you started, we lay out a basic vegan meal based around the 4 meal setup that we discussed previously. In this section of the video, you’ll also discover some of the best vegan foods for a bodybuilding diet.

FAQ’s- Vegan Bodybuilding Diet (8:09)

In this section, you’ll discover answers to some of the most common questions and concerns when it comes to a vegan muscle building diet. You’ll discover whether or not the proteins from a vegan diet are equivalent to an omnivorous diet, how to supplement your nutrition with some of the key muscle-building nutrients that you might be missing out on, and whether or not soy will negatively impact your testosterone levels and muscle gains.

One Dutch company is making vegan leather from mangoes that would otherwise be thrown away. The cofounders hope it will reduce food waste while making the leather industry more environmentally friendly.
