WHAT I EAT IN A DAY | 4 Days of Delicious Vegan Food in LA
I'M BACK and I’m taking you with me as I explore LA, crush some workouts, and hang out with my friends (and the Vedge Nutrition community!). From smoothies and vegan pizza to fun training sessions and beach hangs, it’s all here! Good food, good friends, fitness, and fun!

It’s a great time to try it out or stock up!
Never underestimate those Jane Fonda style workouts. I remember coming home from college thinking i was pretty fit from lifting weights only to get embarrassed by my own grandma. 😂
haha that’s so funny! HIIT, especially on sand, is no joke!
Finally! I’ve been going through Simnett withdrawals!😂
haha I’m sorry but I’m back now!
Oh my gosh, the glasses montage had me laughing out loud! 😂 What an amazing weekend 🌱💪🏽it was incredible spending time with the whole team and finally meeting Crystal. She’s absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to do it again!
the glasses montage was hilarious, I was thinking the same thing
& awesome to see you in the video!
Thanks so much Natalie! I wish every weekend was a Vedge team weekend! haha so many memories
Derek, I hope you hear this with the love I’m intending: My cousin was in a skateboarding accident, was not wearing a helmet, received a brain injury and died a few days later (after being on life support for a few days, but with no brain activity.) He was a kind, caring, amazing, creative, beautiful human being – like you. Please consider wearing a helmet when you use a scooter, a bike, a skateboard — anything like that. It can make all the difference between surviving a collision or accident with no brain injury – and serious injury or death. Take care!
Second that, I ride my bike to work every day and always felt too cool for a helmet right up until I almost got run over and got really lucky. Now I got a helmet with little bluetooth speakers in it to listen to music and navigation (thx livall). Never goin back.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing this story & the importance of helmets!
@@blackrosenuk Thank you. He was a beautiful, wonderful person and also left a small child and pregnant wife behind. Our family has never been the same since, of course. Thankfully his wife and children are doing ok.
Wow what an environment with all the vegan creators….amazing vlog
Thank you!
I am always in such a good mood after watching your videos. You guys are so inspiring!
Thanks so much!
What a great vlog! We love you Derek but we love Crystal more lol. What I really love about her is that she dresses modestly. I stopped following a lot of vegan work out ladies because of how skimpy they dress. Crystal is a classy, lovely woman 😊
Good to have you back! If you go to Germany again and are close to Cologne, stop by for a capoeira class with my group.
Dinner on me 🙂
Would love to! Crystal talks about our Germany trip at least once a day, haha she LOVED it there. I’m sure we will be back 🙂
@Simnettnutrition haha, really? Man, Germany is a nice place to live but my other home is Brazil… but maybe it’s not to be compared. 🇧🇷🇩🇪
Anyway, last time you were here, I only learnt of your trip, when you uploaded the video. How do I know and reach you beforehand?
Keep up the amazing content! Much love from Germany 🌱💪🏽
The energy at the beach is palpable ! Rock on beautiful peoole! 🎉
I am a Londoner but my old job used to take me to Santa Monica twice a year, Veggie Grill and Cafe Gratitude were my go to restaurants . Also Whole foods for the unreal ‘m&m’ s, I used to fill my suitcase with them lol. Great vlog and I always love seeing when you and Brian meet up ,so many amazing vegans in this, thanks you ✌🏼💚
haha stuffing your suitcase with US treats is too real. I feel that!
It’s so nice to see you guys again. I’ve missed you. Thank you for showing the world the awesome results of a vegan diet.
Hey man . Great video and what a fantastic team there. I laughed out loud when you said
you weren’t hungry and you knocked down that Hugh sandwich !
What an amazing trip !
haha classic me. Thanks so much for watching, glad you had a laugh!
This vlog was worth the wait. Wonderful to see a bunch of happy, fit, and vegan folks together. So happy that you had a great time. Safe travels back home.
Thanks for taking us with you 😃
Thanks so much for including us on your adventures! So inspiring to see all the vegan food available, it’s definitely a good thing
Great to see Nimai being healthy and monetizing his brand
He’s the best!
It’s a whole new world when you’re with other vegans! Such a conforting feeling. I loved seeing this whole group.
Super, super fun video! You had me smiling the whole time, and then I felt sad with you at the end. So glad to see and know you’re back now. And thanks for always introducing us to other content creators and sharing their links! Hope you and Crystal are both doing awesome! 💚
It’s always a good time for us, too, when you go to LA and, nice to have Crystal with you. Spending time with like-minded friends: compassionate, good people, fit and fun and friendly. Vedge really took care of you all, too.❤❤
such bright and inspiring people ❤
