FULL DAY OF EATING GOOD VEGAN MEALS & ADVENTURE 

Hey what do you think about Jon Venus about his last vid where is not a vegan?

Derek, please, stop overthinking and worrying about the repetitive nature of your vlogs, if anything it shows how far consistency can get us, we are creatures of habit so most people will understand, relate and love anything you put out, as long as you enjoyed making it 💕 👊

What you eat is NOT boring. It's healthy, fresh and delicious. I love watching your videos.

Hey Derek! Don’t worry about being “repetitive” or whatever. I enjoy your content, your positivity, inspiration and advice. You make a video and you better believe I’m going to watch it :)

Crystal's laughter is the best!

The vegan world needed this wholesome content from you. ❤️ so much goodness in one place.

I’m glad that you stay authentically to yourself, your routine and what works for you and don’t change things up just for fleeting popularity. Thank you for what you do.

Watering your garden at night, when the temperature is lower, helps limit how much water evaporates.

Derek dude, just said I would drop you a comment which relates to the "these are all red according to the people who name plants" since I did study botany for a couple of years in uni, and had a nerdy interest in anything that could go on my plate. So firstly, the pigment in the red cabbage is an anthocyanin which literally translates from Greek as "dark blue flower".... yes, that is correct, the "red" or "purple" cabbage is coloured by a pigment that is technically blue. Basically the intensity of the anthocyanin's colour is dependent on soil acidity, so in very acidic soil it will be dark blue or purple, as the acidity decreases so too does the intensity of the pigment, meaning at a mid range acidity it may be more reddish in appearance, and then in very alkaline soil it may even be green or yellow, looking more like traditional green cabbage (however, it is not the same plant as green cabbage). So it is very likely that red cabbage originally gained popularity in an area which had mid range soil acidity, causing it to be red in colour, and as a result it got given the name "red cabbage" which has stuck with it as it gained popularity throughout the world, even though it appears purple in most places due to the acidity of the soil. However, the pigment in your red pepper, or capcicum (if you're fancy!) is capsorubin, which is a red xanthophyll (Greek; yellow leaf) and it is a more "true red" colour, and while its intensity can vary, it varies along the yellow spectrum which is why capsicums, when ripe, are either yellow, orange, or red, depending on how strongly this pigment is expressed. I hope this wasn't the most boring comment that you have ever had! It's Saturday morning in Ireland, so I had nothing better to do!

"Look at that, that's all red, according to the people that named the vegetables." 😆 You guys are so genuine. Always excited to see when you have a new vid out 🌱🌱🌱

Aww i was feeling a bit meh today but this warmed my heart and put a smile on my face. Your kindness shines through. Loved seeing the wildlife 😍 and food inspo as always!

Please never worry about being “repetitive”! We come to your channel for the transparency and wholesome content - you guys always brighten our day a bit 😄 I’ve been struggling the past few weeks (we have been in lockdown, in the house since the beginning of May), so I’ve binged watched your channel and am ready to tackle next week with a new mindset and get moving again! Also, we live in Scotland so are TOTALLY getting bikes thanks to all your videos. Just a way we can enjoy the nature all around us in a different way once we can get back out the house!

LOVE his Consistency and that he doesn't change for the sake of "Views" 💯🌱

can we do a "how crystal eats in a day"?! or like the diff between your two servings?

Man nothing seeing a 30 minute Simnet Nutrition video. Keep it up Derek!

Awesome, love the vegan lifestyle! Thanks, Simnett, I’m still a new vegan (17 weeks in) so these vlogs really help!

It makes me happy to see this channel grow this fast, this guy is so authentic and real 🌱💪🏻

15:27 That Michael Jackson move was hilarious! HAHAHAHA

This just made me so happy, funny, heartwrming and entertaining, Love what you did for the animals outside💛

Congratulations on reaching 500k subs. You deserve 1M. Keep on rocking that great advice, awesome attitude and closeness to nature. July 4th I'll be at one year of being a vegan, I'm glad I tuned in to your channel. You and Crystal have made this past year fun and entertaining. So glad to be part of your Facebook group and a dedicated fan. Wishing all the best for you. Vegan for life.😊💚🌱 #simnettnutrition

I like that you're staying consistent and true to yourself. I enjoy seeing your smoothies/smoothie bowls in each video.

That hummingbird bit is amaaazing!

Hahaha. The Michael Jackson part!😅

Half a million subscribers. I can't express how happy I am for you, here's to all the hard work and dedication you put into these videos. Much love from Greece !!

Awesome meals Derek. I love seeing the squirrel, the hummingbirds & that bike trail.

Derek I’m curious if you had a chance to talk with Jon Venus about some of his doubts / health experiences back when you guys were on vacation?

damn derek - youve got some serious gains going on there! great job

I found you a few months ago and you are easily becoming my favorite vegan/plant-based channel. You’re a positive influence for the community. You are crystal are inspiring and really likable individuals. Your content is so refreshing. Keep being your amazing selves!

Congratulations Derek, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for a long time now and I just wanted to congratulate you on finally getting half a MILLION subscribers! I’m proud to be one of them. I hope that you celebrate. Celebrate for all the endless hours of footage, editing, and most profoundly for putting yourself here on the internet for us to enjoy and be inspired by your personality and healthy lifestyle. Bring on more content!

Your so close to 500k!!! Congrats!

6:15 SAME! Routine is key! Screw the ''variety'' just for the Instagramability! :)

After watching your videos for a while, I’ve developed the level of laughter you get out of Crystal. Even if she’s not in the scene and you do/say something funny, I’m like full on Crystal-level laughing. Love you guys. ❤️

Love you and Crystal. Love from San Diego, California 🧡

Genuinely grateful for the energy you put out. It is much needed. Thank you for all you share and do!

My dream is to one day have my own garden. So lucky and beautiful!!

How is it possible Derek looks more ripped during quarantine? This actually motivated to put the cereal down and watch you vid. Setting up a simnett approved dinner for tonight. You were the the reason I started my journey. Keep it up!🍑🥝🍓🥦🍠

Hummingbirds, squirrels, that bike path & the final shot. What a beautiful video

Perfect time for a Simnett video!

One day my feet will come off the ground on my dips LOL Awesome seeing you get stronger!

Your stories are about your vegan lifestyle, what you eat, feel, see, hear, live, experience in and outside of the house. Vlogs are never too long. Keep them rolling!!

That hummingbird footage is the most wholesome thing ever

Are you going to make a video on the whole Jon Venus situation. It really concerns me and wondering if you have any of the same concerns he does?

I love the fact that his girlfriend is laughting all the time in all the videos she is in, its so special to be having so much fun with your life partner

Derek, love your vids and absolutely love seeing you make highly nutritious plant-based meals over and over. It is very inspiring.

Thoughts on Jon leaving veganism?

You don’t see many arms like those on vegans

Its so great you are juuust about to hit half a million subscribers... well diserved! This is the kind of positive content that should grow to spread the message.

I was waiting for a David Attenborough impression during that hummingbird scene

Thanks for another great video Derek! Your videos never get old - they’re such a ray of positivity and good vibes - not to mention motivating. Oh and I may have LOL’d like 5 times - like when you pointed out that red onion, red bell pepper and red cabbage are all supposedly “red” 😂- Oh and I love crystal’s laugh!! 💜💜

Derek I love your long videos! At times you mention how you get worried about the length of them but I am always happy to see when you upload a 30 to 40 minute video!

I LOVE YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT MULCH! YOU ARE AWESOME! 🌱🍀🌿🍀🌱🌻

Wanted to come back for a second comment to say that as someone who struggles with routine and consistency, seeing you have a routine especially with your food, is really helpful and somehow really calming. I have this anxiety about "must make food new and exciting" and seeing you make food you love and that works is really helpful. So don't apologize to the people who say change it up! Thank you for showing what works for you!

Never have I seen a hummingbird actually rest while eating! What beautiful and clear footage you got!!

Love watching you guys I've learned so much at the age of 50. Thank you. I've had autoimmune thyroid disease for half my life and my health has improved greatly eating this way especially green smoothies 4x a day inc chia, fruit and flax. So cute seeing squirrels and humming birds. Don't have either here in Australia.

I appreciate the consistency, it is like a familiar place to relax when feeling down. Also, I appreciate the wildlife and nature content.

I cracked up multiple times during the vid (especially the MJ reference). This half hour had it all, gourmet dishes, education with the watermelon radish, wildlife and sports.

Michael Jackson 😆😅😂🤣🤣🤣🤣And Derek in the garden, with Crystal laughing. lol 😂

Can we just stop a while and appreciate Krista? She is glowing!

Thanks for being such a positive influence in the Plant Based Movement. I love your positive attitude. Keep up the great work! 👍

Man, so close to 500k subscriptions! So happy that your positive message reaches more and more people! I bet you must be among the top 10 RU-vidrs that put out 20 minutes long videos on a regular basis that are watched from the first till the last second by the viewers and not just for the first minute before being skipped. Keep it up! 😊

I, for one, am always looking forward to your eat in a day and don’t find it repetitive at all :)

Hi Derek! I’m also a vegan athlete and really enjoy watching your videos- you’ve inspired me to start my own vegan RU-vid channel! Keep inspiring ❤️

I enjoyed this very much. The humming bird cam is so cool. The appreciation of good food and the gorgeous sunset was so up lifting.

I love these " what I eat in a day" videos, they are super helpful and give me ideas of different foods to eat. So thank you so much. Please continue to make these videos. Thanks again, I'm forever a fan.

I love the energy you and crystal bring into videos!

Love your videos! 😊 I have no problem at all with you making similar meals everytime. I appreciate the honesty and it is still very fun and interesting to watch ❤️

I like how you're always full of energy

I love these full day of eating and training vids because I get meal ideas and workout motivation. 🥊💪🏻

Mr. Derek I like your videos more better than, any of the other so-called vegans. You're more down-to-earth and easy-to-follow keep doing what you doing sir God bless you take care.

I never get bored with your cooking meals I love all that vibrant colorful vegs! A longer bike ride or nature would be great! Thanks see you next time!

Your bike trail footage in the forest is super calming.

What for absolutely amazing shots of those hummingbirds. So clever to put your camera next to the feeder. I wish we would have these wonderfull creatures in Germany.Thank you so much for inserting those shots :)

Simnett FDOE videos are literally the best on RU-vid! 😄🌱 always helps me keep my motivation to stay healthy

I loved this vlog, there was so much variety. The hummingbird was SO cute! And I love how the peanuts below the tree for the squirrel was in a bowl. 💚🥰 And your garden!!! 👏😯 it looks so good! Cool idea with the hanging herb pot.

Your garden looks amazing!!! We started ours late but hopefully it will start looking like yours soon. Always a good feeling to grow your own food.

I really appreciated the hummingbird footage (maybe add a few seconds worth in all your videos?) Your food choices are not boring, they are healthy and, most importantly, they are your choices. Great video!

Crystal laughing is the best😄

Your energy is fantastic! And I love seeing the garden updates from another west coaster ☺️ I’ve harvested sooo many of my own greens so far this year too

So close to 500k! Love to see your channel getting so much support! You guys are awesome. Showing how veganism doesnt have to be so complex. Whole plant foods...and you make it fun :)

Love your vids dude, always put a smile on my face!

I don't know what it is about your videos, they always make my mood great and motivate me! Love them, you're doing such a great job!

Derek - we love your personality! You had us cracking up several times during this video. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and beautiful food!

I’m still trying with my new journey on plant based! Basically I’ll eat oatmeal with walnuts! Flaxseed! Protein powder! For lunch I’ll make a fruit smoothie and a avocado! Tofu! Hummus rap! Thank you 🙏 for everything you do to help us! Like me! More help the better!

I havnt watched your channel in a while but have to say your energy is as uplifting as i remember. Thanks for putting a smile on my face Derek. Also youre looking super strong and healthy! 🌱💪

Consistency is a great thing!!

Hey Derek, great video as always! I’ve been watching for a few years and your recipes are not boring. I appreciate your consistency and authenticity. Thank you so much for being yourself and sharing this amazing info with us !

LMAO!!! oooo I got the Mother in there. I was hysterical laughing. You're adorable!!

I love your subtle humour! Your videos are really entertaining and dear.

Really good video. You should put more of these. Thank you for staying away from all that Jon drama. It must be hard for you as you are good friends. I just want to say I was disappointed with him though. Sending love :)

Oh yes!! Love these kind of videos. We all know it’s gonna be an awesome one. 💪🌿

Your reaction to the ACV mother was so sun to watch XD I literally replayed it 3 times ;P Thank you for brightening up my day :D

Excellent video Derek! You are the food artist! I just sent this video to my friend who is recovering from cancer. Again. She is just starting on her journey towards plant-based Wellness of course her two doctors do not have a clue. I spent three hours last night getting her started on reading food labels and watching RU-vid channels towards Whole Food plant-based lifestyle. Thanks for all your great work

I personally like your consistency with meals and things!! You always have enough variety to keep me coming back to watch your latest vids. Besides, it often times takes repetition to really know how and why we do things.. so I like the repetition too. Don’t let naysayers influence you at all. You’re awesome. Just keep doing you and having fun and you will inspire way more people that way. If you let the negative Nancy’s in your head, they’ll mess up your good vibes and then that all has a trickle down effect to your content too. ✌🏻❤️✨🌱

So much love from San Antonio, TX!!

Honestly one of the most wholesome channels on youtube❤️

You are such a nice guy Derek! It always feels like hanging out with a good friend when I watch your vlogs 😄. Also it looks so nice where you live there is so much nature around

Lots of variety in this episode-great job putting it together! That lake looks so peaceful.

Always happy to see a SN Uplaod! I like watching these kind of videos in the morning while having breakfast. Always worth the wait and hella inspiring! ♥️🌱

Derek Thankk you!! So much for not being inhumane to the mice they are just animals who mean no harm and are trying to survive!! Thank you for the humane traps and I have a long time now I subscribed I find your videos very fun and enjoyable thank you for being genuine!! And being yourself!!

I just made that dressing and it’s phenomenal! You are the dressing master! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and talents!
