Derek another awesome video and yummy 😋 vegan food combinations. I had vegan Mac & Cheese for dinner tonight made from carrots, cashews and soya milk with a teaspoon of English mustard and a teaspoon of black pepper with whole wheat pasta and it was delicious! 😋. Love 🥰 the video and love ❤️ Derek.
You always seem to have better stuff in your Costco in Canada than what we do here in the states, at least in Colorado. Will be looking for some of that stuff next time and keep my fingers crossed. Great, fast meal ideas, which I am always looking for, especially in the summer.
Thanks so much! I also assumed the US Costco’s were better, so that is surprising to me!
You’re so right. My Costco in Oklahoma had maybe 3 of those things.
Except when it comes to sweets!
Same. My only takeaway from this video is that I have huge Costco envy 😂
I’m in California. You’d think we’d have a ton of vegan options at our Costcos, but we don’t have anything special
Great ideas! Love all of those items. Those Big Mountain crumbles are the real deal!
They are so good! We eat them a lot now that we can buy them in bulk haha
Summary:
1. High Protein Dinner: Lion’s mane mushroom crumble, red lentil pasta, fire-roasted primavera vegetables, and pasta sauce [00:30], [01:26].
2. Tofu Stir-fry: Tofu, sweet red chili sauce, everything bagel seasoning, and a frozen stir-fry vegetable blend, with added quinoa [03:34], [04:29], [05:24].
3. Veggie Burgers with Chickpeas and Asparagus: Dr. Prager California style veggie burgers mixed with chickpeas and air-fried asparagus seasoned with Umami Boost [06:02], [06:38], [06:17], [07:06].
5. Energy Balls: Rolled oats, pitted Medjool dates, natural peanut butter, and semi-sweet chocolate chips [08:34], [09:26].
5. Mandarin Oranges and Tamari Almonds: A simple and surprisingly delicious snack [10:28], [10:55].
Wow sweet, thanks!
Tamari almond recipe in the future? These are super quick recipes, great for the summer heat! 🥵😋Thanks team😊
Everything looks so yummy 🤤!! I wish there were such huge bags of tamari almonds here in Berlin, Germany. Here they only come in 30-gram bags😞
These all look delicious! Now I want to go to Costco. 😁
You can coat the asparagus with the aquafaba from the can of chickpeas instead of oil for no fat!
You can also toss frozen veggies in a much heavier sauce, because the sauce will stick to surface of the frozen veggies. I think both broccoli and asparagus go well with a sauce made of apricot jam, sambal oelek, nutritional yeast, grated garlic, curry powder, and garam masala.
You might want to try the Berry Banana Quinoa bake from Mastering Diabetes. I use the blackberry, raspberry, blueberry blend and add the thawed fruit when serving to preserve nutrients.
Sounds amazing, I should try it! thanks!
What a fun video, ty!! Wish we had costco…
Really, really fun and creative video to watch, and everything looked beyond delicious! Loved the ending, and hearing Crystal’s giggles in the background, multiple times throughout, always makes me smile.
For the first meal I think I have all of those ingredients in my freezer except the Mushroom crumble but I have a different crumble LOl. The little 🍊 oranges I always have those on hand. I will have to look for those almonds next time I’m at Costco. Thanks for the simple recipes 😊
I love your content in general, but as a fellow Canadian, the Costco videos are top notch! I love that I know I can go to my local (also BC) Costco and find most of these items.
Nice, throw-together meals, Derek! I can’t wait to try them! Thanks to both you and Crystal for these amazing Costco shopping videos.
I buy big bags of potatoes, onions, mushrooms and sweet potatoes at Costco, too. I just boil the potatoes and sweet potatoes, and we mash them up. Serve mash with mushroom gravy, along with a salad made from their pre-washed greens, carrots, celery, Persian cucumbers, onion and some of your tasty dressing, and some easy-baked, tasty tofu. I’ve learned from you to keep it simple, yet tasty!❤❤
This looks amazing! I’m going to get me a Costco membership. It’s about an hour away, but I can go there once a month. Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes!❤
Great meal ideas 😊. I love Costco for so many vegan 🌱 options, but your Costco has so much more seems like. I’m going this week to see if they brought these items to Michigan 😊
Wish my Costco were like yours!
I’m always jealous about what Costco in Canada has that we don’t in the US. Happily, we do have the Pura Vida primavera mistura veggies, and I’m obsessed! I always have at least one bag in my freezer.
Costco in my area hasn’t sold Dr Praeger’s California burgers for years, since they got Impossible burgers and decided to only carry a single veg option. But BJ’s does have them (you can usually find a $20 membership offer online). I only cook them in the air fryer, and they get very crispy.
Really cool recipes Derek. I wish our CostCo was as well stocked as yours 😅
Good morning! I just discovered you about a week and a half ago on my whole food journey and I purchased the 3 of your books because your sauces reeled me in LOL Without said I haven’t watched many of your newer videos yet but there is a lot of processed food in this video?? My personal opinion is that it’s always best to chop your own vegetables and make your own meals especially those burgers that you showed as much as possible if we are trying to stay healthy. Just because it’s plant-based doesn’t mean it’s healthy. I still love you and God bless!❤
