- I know TikTok is fast, but she is killing me
with these lack of measurements.
- These are stuck in there.
That's not good.
(upbeat guitar music)
Lizzo has been stirring up a lot of conversation
with her insane TikTok recipes,
so this week's challenge is for us to try to incorporate
at least two of Lizzo's TikTok recipes
into our daily recipes.
- I am a fan of Lizzo.
I love her music, I love the flute, I love the dancing.
- I love Lizzo!
She's so empowering, her music is so uplifting,
she just makes you wanna dance,
she makes you wanna give yourself a hug.
- I feel like I've tried every health diet that exists,
so paleo, keto, I've tried being vegetarian.
It's all hard, but I'm really curious about the vegan diet.
- I am vegan-ish.
When I say vegan-ish, I mean I've been eating vegan
for about a year now, with the exception
of some occasional non-vegan treats here and there.
- I tend to stick towards vegetables, protein.
I love some steak, I love some chicken, I love some shrimp.
- Ice cream, cheese, whipped cream, cheese on a pizza.
Mm, I'ma miss ya.
- I like to spend 10 minutes in the kitchen maximum,
preferably five minutes, so this is gonna be a lot more
cooking than I'm used to.
I don't know why this is so hard.
We have to drive so far just to find
where all of the healthy food stores are, a half hour drive.
- I'm probably gonna hit one or two
different grocery stores,
just to make sure I can find everything.
Some grocery stores have certain vegan things.
Some do, some don't.
- I love cheese so much, this is so hard,
but none of these cheeses are vegan.
Not a one.
Got it.
I think I found the best section here.
All of the vegan frozen meats.
I think I got everything.
I found the cheese, I found the dairy-free vegan cheese.
- I did have to do a couple swaps, but for the most part,
I was able to find everything on my list,
so I'm tired but I'm ready to get home
and put these groceries away.
- Look at all of these groceries!
I'm honestly surprised.
I didn't think I would be able to find all of this
at my local grocery store.
- Good morning, it is day one
where we get to eat like Lizzo.
She starts off with a green smoothie
made with kale or spinach, frozen fruit and coconut water.
- I've never used coconut water for a smoothie before
but coconut water is good for skin
and I wanna have good melanin.
- Okay so Lizzo doesn't give measurements
on how much she put in,
so I'm just gonna do what feels right.
- [Vivian] I've got my ice, I've got the spinach.
Then add some berries.
(blender whirring)
- That's actually really good.
- I like it.
This is my thing.
Green smoothies for breakfast is pretty normal for me,
so I'm digging it.
- Okay, so maybe I'm just excited
and this is literally all in my head,
but this smoothie, I'm feeling energy.
I am very much a coffee person,
and I almost feel like I don't need coffee this morning.
For what Lizzo eats in a day on her TikTok,
for snack time, she eats.
- Grain-free Paleo Puffs with organic coconut oil.
No cheese cheesiness.
- She used to eat Hot Cheetos, I love a good Hot Cheeto,
but they mess with her acid reflux, so I totally get it.
- Visually, it's not giving me the same satisfaction
of a super orange-y red Flaming Hot Cheeto.
- Okay, I was wrong.
The flavors go well together.
- It's not the same, but I do like it.
Will this replace Flaming Hot Cheetos in my mind?
Probs not, but I would eat this.
- For lunch, Lizzo makes this huge salad
with kale, broccoli, carrots, red cabbage.
- I have white onions, broccoli and carrots.
- So I'm gonna just go ahead
and toss this salad together really quickly.
(record scratching)
I'm just realizing she didn't say salad dressing.
- Oh, that is, that is too much onion.
- I'm just gonna season it really well.
- I'm not the best chopper ever.
- [Destiny] So pretty.
- So this is my salad, yes.
- Not bad.
- Get some avocado.
Oh, that's a big piece of avocado.
- I could definitely see myself eating this often.
- That's good.
- For dinner on Lizzo's TikTok,
she shows that she has these meatless meatballs.
She then also has kind of some type
of truffle chick pea mixture.
She didn't say what it was, so I just got chick peas
and I'll just cook those and eat them.
And then she also has a little bit of quinoa
and I bought dry quinoa.
I couldn't find pre-made quinoa,
but pre-made quinoa is a life saver.
I don't really know how to make quinoa,
so we're gonna find out.
Put these in the microwave.
It says for one minute, so we'll do that.
Let's add the quinoa.
And now we wait.
They feel kinda weird.
They smell kinda weird.
They smell kind of like falafel,
and they kinda look like falafel.
I don't really know how to cook chick peas,
but I just am gonna throw them in the pot
with a little olive oil
and we're just gonna go from there.
Yum.
Not bad.
I can see myself making these
with marinara sauce or spaghetti.
Now that we've done Lizzo's "What I Eat In A Day Recipes",
now everyday this week, we just have to incorporate
at least one new recipe into our week.
Some of the stuff I had today,
I definitely think I'm gonna eat again tomorrow,
like the smoothie I had for breakfast was really good
and that salad was super good.
Really good day, I'm really full,
really excited to not eat as much food tomorrow
and not cook all day tomorrow.
- The first thing I'm going to make
is the Hangover Scramble.
- I'm going to try to master
one of Lizzo's brilliant TikTok creations,
a soul food cupcake.
So the base of the cupcake was made with corn bread,
and then the frosting was made with mashed potatoes.
- [Vivian] It's Made from plants' Just Egg
plant based scramble, and in it, she makes this carne asada,
but she kind of already made it,
so I'm gonna make my own based off the recipe.
- She doesn't give any kind of breakdown of the recipe,
but I do know Lizzo is the queen
of making things from scratch, like myself.
However, tonight we're not doing that.
- Oh my God, I feel like a real chef.
- [Destiny] Just realized I forgot to spray the pan down
with cooking spray, so these are stuck in there.
Great.
- [Vivian] Yes, this is looking really filling.
- I am done mashing, and since this is the frosting,
Lizzo, I think, puts it in a frosting bag
and squeezes it on top, so that's what I'm gonna be doing.
They're so hot.
Should I let them cool?
- I almost completely forgot about the bacon,
so I have these Morning Star veggie bacon strips
and I'm gonna make them with maple syrup,
'cause that's what Lizzo does,
and I actually feel like it's gonna taste so bomb.
- [Destiny] Okay, the gravy is looking right.
I'm actually shocked, I think it's time.
- As far as first impression goes,
full confidence in the egg scramble.
It looks freaking delicious.
Think I'm worried about, I'm worried about this bacon.
I'm, I'm, I'm worried about this bacon.
- There is no way to humanly possibly eat this as a cupcake
so I'm just gonna eat it with a fork.
- Is it edible?
Yes.
Did I cook it the best?
Probably not.
I could do the eggs a bunch of times.
The bacon, I could skip the bacon.
- It's gravy with vegan chicken with barbecue sauce
with mashed potatoes with corn bread.
It's sweet and salty and savory and mm, it's a lot.
One of Lizzo's meals on her TikTok
is her vegan rendition of a McChicken.
- [Vivian] I believe this is everything
for the spicy Jamaican beef patties, vegan style.
- [Destiny] So I'm just gonna season it with these
and then pop them in the oven,
and then I don't have a toaster to toast the buns,
but I'm just gonna put them in the oven.
- I know TikTok is fast but she is killing me
with these lack of measurements.
It's kind of doughy now, but it definitely needs more water.
- [Destiny] All right, let's check on our buns.
Ooh hot.
It works!
- [Vivian] These look way better than I was expecting to!
Time to put them in the oven.
- Kind of dry, it needs more sauce, but not bad.
- Okay so Mom, you had a critique for me.
What's the critique?
(Vivian's mom laughs)
- [Vivian's Mom] The crust is hard.
It needs a little more butter.
- That's what I forgot.
See, the TikTok recipe goes so quick.
- But besides that.
- I forgot the butter.
- It tastes good.
The flavor is good.
- Okay.
- But you forgot the butter so it's very hard,
the crust is hard.
- I forgot the butter!
- I am going to try to make Lizzo's ice cream bread recipe.
- I'm attempting to do the soul food cupcake.
I am about to make the gravy.
She doesn't specify how to make the gravy
into more of an icing.
I'm not really sure how I'm gonna do that.
Maybe I'll add more flour or more butter or,
I don't know, we're gonna freestyle this.
- [Destiny] The ice cream is pretty much melted.
It's snicker doodle flavor, yum.
I don't know if it's supposed to look like this,
but we're just gonna go with it.
- This looks like Thanksgiving dinner.
It's the corn bread as just corn bread,
and the mashed potatoes on top, with the gravy.
I went and got a brown gravy
that's still gluten free and vegan.
- It does look a little suspect, but that's okay!
It's all about how it tastes.
It's not about how it looks, right?
(record scratching)
Oh, we're stiff.
It's bread all right.
Okay, so the bread is not coming out of the pan,
but I managed to get a little piece out.
(crickets chirping)
That's not good.
I'm gonna try to make pulled pork today,
or Jackfruit Pulled Pork.
I don't know what you call it, but I'm gonna try.
(food sizzling)
Okay, my coleslaw is done.
It looks decent, it smells kinda funny.
We're getting there.
There's a lot going on.
I don't hate it.
The texture, little mushy.
I think I'm just gonna go have that salad for dinner.
The salad is really good, with the kale and the cabbage
and the carrots and the broccoli.
- It's the last day, last meal I'm making.
It's going to be a vegan pasta and salad.
♪ Boiling, boiling as fast as we can ♪
♪ There's a lot of stuff around this rim ♪
Adding some nutritional yeast.
Okay, this is looking like something
straight from the Grinch.
Okay, I'm gonna taste it.
The vegan pasta salad didn't really work out.
I made the salad, but the whole pasta situation was,
it tasted terrible.
My favorite day of all these days was day one
because day one is the most similar to how I already eat.
Smoothies, salad.
Bada bing, bada boom, in and out of the kitchen,
lots of veggies.
Whoa, I have mad respect for Lizzo
because she's a celebrity, and the fact that she makes time
to make these recipes on her own
with stuff from her own garden,
I have so much respect for her and her hustle.
