Plant Based Vegan Trader Joe's Haul : The Whole Food Plant Based Cooking Show 

Yeah its even cheaper if you shop somewhere where prices are lower. I always shop at Walmart. They have alot of organic stuff and they are constantly adding more.

the problem is its relative more expensive than fast food, as in fast food companies just throw in the most cheapest stuff. Also there is a problem in area where there aren't many supermarkets or even none (yes sadly those area' still exists).

If you you are starting out from fast foods, perhaps it is but not everyone does. In addition, a lot of people that think they are eating healthy, as I did, are purchasing a lot of supplements. When eating a whole food plant-based diet, you don't need a variety of supplements to make up for the problems associated with a diet filled with animal products. You drop the supplements down to B-12 (which is all you need) and I bet people just found anywhere from $75 - $100 in their food budget. One doesn't need to get too involved in eating healthy. There are plenty of pauper foods such as beans, rice, corn, and potatoes which is the base of the Blue Zones and those are cheap foods. A person switching from a highly processed diet can easily do so and it's still easy on the budget and it's healthy. Making excuses for other people isn't helpful. If people believe they can't get healthy foods, they wont. I bet I could go to the 7-11 just a block from me and find a can of beans, canned tomatoes, some bananas, apples, and perhaps even some frozen green beans and a package of rice. Not that I would want to live on that every meal but if there were a blizzard here and I had no way to get to the grocery store, that's where I would shop for a day or two. (Which wouldn't happen, I keep canned goods around just in case...) In the video, I calculated $31.25 per person for a week. That's $125 a month. Might be a bit monotonous but that's not a lot of money to spend for healthy food.

Amber Shipp Great idea! I’d like to see that too.

Are you going to the Healing America Together presentation in Duhram this Saturday? It is being given by the Plant Pure Nation group, Dr. Campbell, Nelson and Kim.

Great! That makes me super happy!

Great Idea! I do share throughout the video, recipes that I use certain items for. The links are in the details =)

Thank you =)

canonrebel626 😉👍👍

It is on my website with a whole lot of other great recipes =) plantbasedcookingshow.com/2016/11/05/vegan-frosty/

So true!

Absolutely! =)

I always thought, organic growers still use pesticides?

Hey fellow Husker!

I buy tons of frozen fruit but prefer my veggies to be fresh. =)

I will agree with you there. When I come to the checkout with my pile of dried mangos and boxes of dates they always look at me funny and ask me if I am stocking up for the year =)

Kenneth Souza Thank you for the tip. I agree about the canned goods. 🤗

Annemarie Forgie I love making hummus wraps! I just spread a little hummus on a tortilla, add avocado, spinach, tomato, cucumber, onion.... whatever veggies you want. Then I wrap it up and it's delicious! I've also made it with quinoa, kale, mushroooms, and black beans 😊

You'll have to let me know what you think of them. There is a little bit of transition time that your hair goes through to get used to the new product but it is only a week or so. =)

This is the information I follow about soy www.drfuhrman.com/elearning/eat-to-live-blog/137/dont-fall-for-the-myths-about-soy

Thank you for the lemon tip =) . I haven't tried the Christmas Limas. I will put them in my next order.

Absolutely! =)

Generic 7 - we use my gluten free bread ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VrFwWjNPOWA.html - go through a couple loaves a week!

Peppers freeze very well! Green pepper, for example, can be cut into slices or diced into chunks and frozen. Onions too. For fruit, I swear by dehydrators. Eat as much fresh fruit as you can, then when it starts to become overly ripe, dehydrate it! Also, you can make smoothies out of extra ripe fruit too. Hope that helps!

No, I’ve only tried making date syrup once before and it was just too expensive and too much work to be worth it. I normally just have fruit compote ( a bag of frozen fruit cooked down and mashed) on my pancakes 😋👍

Not sure. We have two and they both carry pretty much the same things. Did I say roasted raw almonds? =) funny, that makes no sense does it.

We don't eat very much rice and when we do we eat black rice. Once every two weeks. I did already have potatoes.=)

i think behind her in those baskets are some potatoes , i believe this is more the Fuhrman way of eating less starch

vegan for life you're right, good observation! Thanks

I do have one video like that plantbasedcookingshow.com/2017/08/06/what-i-eat-in-a-vegan-plant-based-day/ We get iodine in the potatoes, prunes, cranberries, bananas, green beans and nori sheets. =)

Marilyn Robertson I have my RU-vid channel which requires a lot of filming , photography and editing, my Instagram, working with a Publisher to get our cookbook out 👍, and then just my household things like gardening, cooking, DIY home projects, cleaning 😏

I used to live in Chapel Hill!

Ava H I don’t worry about that. I follow Dr. Fuhrman’s teachings. Here is an article from him about beans🤗 www.drfuhrman.com/learn/library/articles/115/the-real-story-on-lectins

You eat lots more produce when you're not eating meat and dairy. That's not a lot of produce for 4 people if you divide by 7 days. As J says, they eat lots of bananas and avos and they're the most perishable items. The rest would keep fine for a fortnight in the fridge. Oranges, lemons and apples keep pretty well for well over a week out in a bowl.

patty 8873 I agree. There is 2 of us and we eat more veggies and fruit then this whole family lol. We strive for 4 cups of veggies a day tho! It’s a lot. We don’t eat as much rice or carbs so maybe that’s how they are filling up.

Also kale lasts way longer than lettuces in the frig as it’s a much hardier texture.

I understand completely about the Aminos. Unfortunately my family is super hooked on it now and they don't want to change but I will try to offer more options for my recipes=) It is really expensive to source fresh organic tomatoes here and so that is why I use canned but I have started buying bulk organic dried chickpeas now that my daughter works at Whole Foods and we get a discount =) They taste so much better and I don't have to worry about what is in or on the cans.

Thank you so much for your answer, you have been an inspiration for me and a true eye opener! All the best

Keep them sealed in a plastic bag in the fridge.=)

Nature's Way Sometimes cooked, sometimes soaked as oatmeal and raw as topping🤗

Christine Peters I’ve heard that you can snip off the bottom of the stems and then put the bunch in a glass of water and keep in fridge.🤗
