What are *your* favorite ways to easily reduce waste in the kitchen or anywhere in your home? 🤗🌱🌎

@lorieann8522 Год назад

Reusable produce bags! Also great for when washing bras or super delicate items that are small. I collect ends and pieces, outer ends, etc of certain produce items and freeze until full then I make stock with them. What I cant use is composted. Our community has 3 compost drop off areas which my son loves to help me with. Friday or Saturday I like to make a veggie dinner that uses up what is left from the weeks grocery trip to reduce food waste too.

Herbs. Before they go wro g i make sauces from them. Chermoula, chimichurri, chermoula, zhoug ... you can even uste stems ❤ but my best anti waste hack is owning a little freezer. Saves everything ! Leftovers, things i don't want to cook yet, bread, homemade goods ... i couldn't live without

@StephsHealthMatters Год назад

I really enjoyed this video!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

@@lorieann8522 Excellent tips!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 We are lucky to have compost picked up weekly with trash/ recycle. It really helps!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

@@mattdonalds9996 Ooooh great tip!! I always just had them poking out. 🤣🤣

@cusebaby10 Год назад

I absolutely love that you use and reuse everything! Some people pick on me when I do, but it's my little way to help the environment. It's also esthetically pleasing when all of the jars are the same or even really cute and quirky when mixed! I love your channel and have been binging your video's lately! I'm slowly converting to plant based, so thank you so much and keep your amazing content coming! I love all the different recipes and can't wait to try the ice cream! 😘👍🏻😁🥰😍❤️🤗🌱🌎♻️

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Aww thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰 What a sweet comment! I totally agree all the little things *definitely* add up and they’re honestly so easy to implement. (I love an eclectic jar collection btw. 🥹) So glad you’re here and enjoying the vids. 🤗🤗

@maggiewickwire2936 Год назад

Some of your tips I’ve been doing for quite awhile - reusing storage bags (got my first order of silicone bags last week!), using mesh bags at grocery stores, refusing to buy produce in plastic netting and wasteful plastic. I didn’t know the lettuce revival trick, but have been using the same method on celery for years. A tip for fruit prep - I freeze strawberry tops and pineapple cores for smoothies. Lots of nutrition in both! I enjoy your videos. I get all kinds of helpful ideas from watching. 😊

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Ooh I love the tip for strawberry tops and pineapple cores, thank you! 🤗🤗 And so glad you’re finding helpful tips here too. 😊

For a produce box, also look and see if there's a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) near you. You pre-buy a share of a local farm's output and you get a box every week of whatever is seasonal and local. It's usually a small farm. Bonus: you often end up with unusual things and have to get creative to use them up, and may end up with a new favorite. I learned about chard one year!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Absolutely! I really wish we had one locally. 😢😢 We only *finally* got the produce boxes last year, but I definitely have my eyes out for a CSA box! My mom gets on (in California) and loves it. She especially loves the surprise items. 😝😝

@BettyHorn Год назад

One of my favorite ways to keep waste in check is to use veggie scraps for broth. And the best way is to use what I have before it goes bad and I have to throw it out!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Yesss! That’s a great one Betty! 😃😃 Love making veggie scraps into broth. 💕

@BettyHorn Год назад

@@LetsEatPlants 🙂

@kiwifeijoa Год назад

An enjoyable video. Really good to see your waste saving tips. So true, tea towels have a million uses. I like the way you value your plant food, and how you connect that with wanting the whole earth to be well and healthy.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Thank you! 🥰🥰 Yes totally agree… tea towels are so useful in the kitchen. And plant food ftw as always. 😃

@linedezainde Год назад

Learned new tricks today! Thanks for sharing!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

So glad to hear that! You are welcome. 🤗🤗

@Insightfill Год назад

That "real towel" thing is awesome. I almost never use paper towels anymore. Keeping a mini-hamper in the kitchen helps.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Right!? They’re so handy! I need a mini hamper for my kitchen I think. I’ve been walking them to the laundry room every time. 😂😂😂

@yonniehan Год назад

I've been using those tru earth strips for maybe a year now and I see no difference compared to when I used liquid detergent. I love that it is lightweight and comes in paper packaging. I'll have to keep an eye out for those multi purpose cleaning strips next time. Thanks! 😊

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Aren’t the laundry strips great!? Totally agree they’re so convenient and love the packaging. The multi purpose cleaning strips are awesome too. I’ve been super impressed with the cleaning power on those and have been using them everywhere lol. Definitely give ‘em a try! 😊😊

@franciscachesca Год назад

I missed this video! I got the notification bell on. I don't understand RU-vid's algoritm. Your meal prep video's are my fav❤

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Hahaha omg that happens to me with notifications too! Not sure why. 🥲🥲 And thank you!!! So sweet of you to say. 🥰🥰

@janellemartinez538 Год назад

Im so glad you showed the washer sheets! I’ve been looking at these for some time but I didn’t know anyone who uses them. Thanks for the review. ❤

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

🤗🤗 Yay! Yes, we love Tru Earth sheets! So easy to use and love love love the less packaging. Definitely give them a try. 🥰

@davidthescottishvegan Год назад

Another awesome video Maddie and the 7 tips are great to reduce waste and for those who can growing some of their own plant foods can help reduce food waste and single use plastic. Love🥰 the video and love 💕 Maddie & Q.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Thank you so much! Love to you as well. 🤗🥰💕

@kathleenbutler9967 Год назад

Excellent as usual... I have learned a lot from your videos...thx!!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Awww thanks, Kathleen! 🤗🥰

@janice2532 Год назад

You are so smart. This is exactly what I needed to see. I am vegan and I work full time, so I will spend Sundays doing this and feel so much better. Thank you

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Aww yay! You’re so welcome and I’m glad to hear it was helpful. 🤗🤗 I definitely think this will make a difference in your week! 💕

@Whiskeytango2178 Год назад

Every video I always get a new little trick. And I’m an old dog. 😂

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Hahaha YAY!!! I’m so glad to hear that. (And now you’re proof old dogs *can* learn new tricks. 😜)

@mimishimaineko1173 Год назад

Great tips! I especially like the tofu scramble seasoning mix that "Cheap Lazy Vegan" prepares--very flavorful!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Thank you! It’s actually from Sam of “It Doesn’t Taste Like Chicken”… but I do love Cheap Lazy Vegan too! 🤗🤗

@mibominjolla780 Год назад

A very helpful video.Thank you. I like your Videos so much😊

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Oh that’s great, you’re very welcome! So glad to hear it was helpful. 🤗🤗

@mauramarcus152 Год назад

you can use strawberry tops in smoothies

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Oooo great idea!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

@marionkine Год назад

Oh my ! The lemon zests 😭😭😭😭 they freeze fantastically ! I grate zests anytime, even before eating an orange. So'tasty in dressings, cake, whatever !

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Yes! I usually do as well if I have organic lemons. You’re right it freezes amazingly! 🤗🤗

@richarddavini712 Год назад

Where would you recommend getting a produce box?

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Check out the description box of this video! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AQguRV9YNi4.html 😃 There are a few US companies listed and the one I use in Toronto. If you’re not near any of these you can google farm box + your area. There are sometimes local CSA (community supported agriculture) boxes you can get. ☺️

@lorieann8522 Год назад

For the silicon mats you have for the oven - how do they handle oil? I had some spilt mats and it was really hard to clean oil off (olive oil). They always felt oily and slimy after 1 use.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

I know what you mean! I cook cookies on them (with vegan butter) and I do notice the oil when I was them… but after a bit of soaking (5-10 mins. in some warm soapy water) they usually clean very easily!

@kiwifeijoa Год назад

One way I clean silicone items is to boil them, that seems to release more stains, odours and oils, not entirely, but it does help.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

@@kiwifeijoa That’s a great tip, thank you!

@bridgetyoung6434 Год назад

Can I ask what you do with the roasted eggplant?

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

Sometimes I just eat it in Buddha bowls, but I actually used these to make baba ganoush! Will be in the next video I post, but here’s the recipe: frommybowl.com/baba-ganoush-recipe/#tasty-recipes-2841 🤩

@tanimowo Год назад

is the produce box a local thing? or is it an online subscription i’m interested!!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

It is a local thing! So in Toronto there are 2 companies I like (let me know if you're in Toronto!). But there are some in the US as well that I've seen. Misfits Market, Imperfect Foods, Hungry Harvest, Perfectly Imperfect Produce... you can try searching these in your area, or another would be "your city + CSA produce box", which would be very similar (CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture). 🤗🤗

@dolyn1289 Год назад

How do you get the smell out of the jars when you reuse them. I have tried to reuse jars however they always still smell like what was in them before.

@bearclaire Год назад

Soak in boiling water with baking soda!

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

I’ve never had a problem with the smell in the jars… after removing the labels I just put them in the dishwasher and they come out perfectly clean! But the lids I do notice some lingering smells sometimes. So I do a small amount of white vinegar & hot water and just let it sit in the lid for 30ish minutes. Rinse it out and clean it with soap (you can also put those in the dishwasher too) and the smell should be gone! 😊😊

@cltinturkey Год назад

I'm surprised you don't eat the skin of potatoes or sweet potatoes. There are great vitamins and nutrients in that skin. Batch prep is always great, and I scrub the potatoes well and eat the skin on. That's one less step to prep.

@LetsEatPlants Год назад

I know! It’s really silly of me. 😆🙈 It’s only because I’m so lazy to scrub them and I never buy organic. But yes, I always think about how many good vitamins are going to waste when I do that. 🫠🫠
