In case you didn't know: 🗣THIS IS THE BEST VEGAN CHANNEL on youtube. Hands down. Your recipes are amazing - and I'm 9 years vegan, and you're showing me "moves" in the kitchen I never thought of (shaving tofu? Wow - Putting the tofu mixture in the oven - genius). Also, I love the way future Derek turned it over to past Derek - brilliant. Great video - thank you for sharing!

You had me at high protein. AND tacos! 😋

I pray you guys never stop doing this. Seriously, you’re the best!

Probably going to pass on the taco hack at the end 🤣😉but here's one! Never tried it, but my friend says when he makes nachos he first puts down a tortilla on the plate. That way you don't have to scrape the last of it off the plate with tiny broken chips. Just wrap it up, and now you have a burrito!

I love the two Dereks talking to each other 😆

An interesting diet/digestion thing that a lot of people don't know about: When your mouth tastes significant sweet (like as in sugar, sweeter fruits, honey, etc) it shuts off the production of ptyalin enzyme in your mouth which is the first digestive process for starches. What this does is ultimately it makes it harder to digest the starches. This is ok if you're not mixing it with concentrated proteins, but in this case you are. Another digestion/diet tip: Concentrated proteins primarily digest in the acid of the stomach. Eating lots of other foods--especially carbs in the same meal as concentrated proteins, will dilute the stomach acid and make it harder to fully and properly digest the proteins. Always best to eat proteins first, wait a bit and then eat whatever else. Carbs, veggies, fruits, etc digest further down past the stomach anyways. A meal can become very acid forming if not mixed properly. Thankfully veggies proteins are less acid forming than flesh based, because there is less sulfur based amino acids, but even then, it can still put a bit of unnecessary digestive strain on the system. I had some health issues in my teens and was basically forced to research and experiment a ton with all this stuff. (btw, I eat mostly plant based, but with a little vegetarian supplementation, and very occasional and very picky pescetarian supplementation [talking like a can of sardines once a month or so]. My diet probably comes closest to what Tom Brady eats and recommends-- i.e. alkaline forming and low inflammation).

As ever, several take-aways of how to improve my vegan recipes. Refried beans will never be the same again. Love your energy. Always get a boost of motivation when I watch !

One of the things I love about your recipes is that I can pretty much make them straight away as I already have all the ingredients! Or at least suitable substitutions 😁

Crystal is right…you put a lot of love into your meals, Derek! The chickpea salad sandwiches looked awesome, and you’ve put me in the mood for tacos, looking so tasty, and so colourful…I think I have one of those taco kits in my cupboard, too! Yay! Those tiny, little room settings are so cute..I watch YT videos of people making those sometimes.

that chickpea avocado mix is my new summer hit

Love watching your videos, you two are adorable .. You’re so genuine and positive all the time , Such a breath of fresh air . The world needs MORE of this!

Add some pickeled jalapeños along with the vinegar juice that they have into the chickpea salad it gives a nice little spice to it to

Let me give you a tip for the beans i am mexican born and raised, you can fried some soyrizo with onions, and then mix it with the beans… and then refry everything 🤤🤤🤤🤤

You are one of the best influencer I watch. Thanks for your happiness, energy and recipes. Your recipes started me on a vegan journey and I love it. My health has really improved. 😊

Lately I have been making my taco meat with chopped soaked walnuts and chopped mushrooms then seasoned with cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt and pepper.

I put my hard taco shells directly on the oven rack upside down so they hang on the rack. That helps to keep them from closing up. Can’t wait to try this recipe!

Not even vegan I eat tons of meat but I love this dude as a person and just get enjoyment from watching his videos. Your so positive

I like the Derek from the past and the future bit, it shows how well thought out and planned this video was prior to its creation.

The nature places you guys go to always look so spectacular! We love going out in nature as well, but there's certainly no waterfalls near us. Looks fabulous! Great vid as always!

When I make tacos, I put the taco shells at an angle, one inside the other to keep them “propped” open. Don’t leave them inside one another like they come out of the box. OR you can take some foil pieces, ball them up and stick them inside the shells to keep them open while you heat them. 😊🌮

Love your recipes!

Everything looked good!! Thanks for sharing!!

Getting rid of hsv 1 / 2 is like starting a new life and am glad I came across dr ekan on RU-vid for a day like this . It wasn't easy but I came through .
