- Hey guys, its Candice from the Edgy Veg
and welcome to another What I Eat In A Day video.
Today's video is sponsored by Just Egg,
which is particularly exciting
because I love the Just Egg product.
I've tried it in the U.S. before they came to Canada
and now they're here!
On this particular day of eating
that I'm going to take you through,
while you watch this video,
I got picked up in a Tesla
and I got to try out the new Just Egg breakfast sandwich,
that's now available at select restaurants in Canada.
So strap on in guys 'cause we're goin' on a road trip.
(upbeat music)
Good morning, and welcome to another What I Eat In A Day.
I'm Candice the Edgy Veg.
I am as you can see, in a car, specifically a Tesla.
And I am super excited for today's
video because it is sponsored by Just Egg.
And I'm going to try out the new Just Egg plant-based omelet
that they're serving in the new
plant-based breakfast sandwich.
- [Cameraman] This is also like the most bougie way
to go and eat eat your breakfast sandwich.
- This is how I eat my breakfast every morning,
I don't know what you're talking about.
This is just another day in the life
of a glamorous video YouTuber.
(laughing)
So it's been really exciting for plant-based people
like myself the last couple months.
Breakfast has always been a really difficult one for us,
it's always kind of boring, there's not a lot of options.
So to see a plant-based omelet in a breakfast sandwich
from Just Egg is so exciting.
I can't wait, it's going to be such an easy way
for people that are choosing to live a plant-based life
to have a quick, easy option on the go,
that's also delicious.
Lets go get some breakfast.
And a lot of coffee, I'm really tired.
It's very early, I never get up this early.
(door squeaking)
So this is the Just Egg, 100% plant-based omelet.
We have the plant-based sausage, it's on an English muffin.
Oh my god, it tastes exactly like an egg.
It's light, it's fluffy.
I don't know what they're using to spice
it with but it's really tasty.
You could fool anyone into thinking this is eggs,
this is so good.
I would definitely say that this isn't just
for people that are plant-based,
I would say that it's for anyone that's looking
for a more sustainable option.
Do make sure to ask for no cheese
if you are fully plant-based.
Everything is plant-based on this guy,
the english muffin, the sausage patty,
obviously the plant-based omelet.
It's so tasty.
It tastes exactly like an egg.
Plant-based eggs guys, it's a thing.
And here's a fun thing.
You can take the hash brown, you could take the sandwich
and you could put the hash brown inside the sandwich.
You're welcome.
(laughing)
All right guys, we are going to go ahead
and finish up our breakfast.
I gotta get back to the city,
we have some filming that we have to do,
some projects to get out the door.
But I am feeling fueled, I am feeling full,
I am feeling satisfied.
Fun Fact, Just Egg is the first egg made from plants
in a quick service restaurant.
I just think it's so cool that people
are finally stepping up, companies like this,
and making plant-based options easy
and accessible and delicious.
Like we said previously, tastes exactly like an egg.
Just made from plants.
Same same but different.
(whooshing sound)
- [Cameraman] So Molly, you were saying on Instagram
that you are potentially going to be cooking your way
through Candice's cookbook.
- I am.
I have started, I am six recipes in and I'm cooking my way
through Candice's entire book.
I don't have like a time goal,
but I'm just going to do my best.
I'm gonna do all of them though
and I'm doing them sort of in order.
Candice's viewers have been very nice to me already
but I have been posting it on my Instagram story.
What is my Instagram handle?
(laughing)
- Molsunflem.
- [Molly] Yes it is.
- I listen.
- Yeah and so I've been posting
it into a highlight on my Instagram.
And yeah, it's been really good so far
and I'm not great at food photography but...
- [Cameraman] Its a journey. - Yes.
- [Camera Man] That's what we've learned.
- And it shows you the real side of vegan cooking
which is sometime ugly, like any cooking.
But, still tasty.
- [Cameraman] I feel like a lot of people
don't actually know really what is takes to kind of like
I guess run a channel this size,
plus everything else that you do.
- Yeah, I used to do everything by myself
but we also weren't doing like two videos a week
and I wasn't, writing cookbooks
and I wasn't doing much other projects on the side.
So I do now have help which is amazing.
It's nice to have help.
It's a lot of work, a lot stuff that people
don't see going on behind the scenes.
Just never gets shown.
So I am curious, I want to know what you guys want to see.
Is there any recipes that you'd like to see on the blog?
Is there something that I'm not doing
that you would like to see us do on the blog?
Mostly it's recipes right now
but is there anything like lifestyle based?
Is there anything that you think that we should update?
We should do less of, more of?
I don't know, What do you wanna see?
(whooshing sound)
All right guys, I've have collected ingredients for a fun,
mango strawberry summer salsa.
Just a quick snack for us.
I am going to Pilates later
so I don't wanna eat anything too super heavy.
So this is kind of perfect for that.
So we have some strawberries, some chopped jalapeno.
We have mango, red onion, cilantro, avocado.
The only dressing that we're going to use today
is a little bit of lime juice and then of course
we're going to eat it with some tortilla chips.
Bright!
Fresh!
Super Hydrating.
Sweet, 'cause I love sugar.
So, let's add the strawberries first.
And we'll add the mangoes.
We have our chopped jalapeno.
If you chop the jalapeno and don't use gloves or something,
wash your hands thoroughly first before you touch your eye.
I learned that the hard way.
Got some red onion and cilantro.
And then we are going to add, we, why do I always--
My default when I do these is to say we bu it's me.
Me and my depressed alter ego and my manic other self.
Like, who am I talking to?
I am going to add the juice of about half a lime.
Super simple!
All right, I'm going to add a sprinkle of salt,
this will just help bring out the flavors.
It will also draw out some of the moisture.
Like, it's a salsa so you can dip chips in it.
It's also just like a really yummy fruit salad,
with some herbed notes to it.
So it really can be whatever you want.
I'm going to add an avocado as well, I just,
here's the thing, if you are going to make this
and not eat it right away, don't add the avocado
because the avocado is going to brown.
So definitely add the avocado when you're serving it.
- [Cameraman] So Winston has just infiltrated.
- Okay, that's a background for food photos, not a yoga mat.
He just thinks anything on the floor is a carpet
That he's supposed to, aw.
He just missed me apparently.
- [Cameraman] If it fits, I sits.
(laughing)
- If it fits, I sits.
Just chopping up some avocado and then we are going
to enjoy this as a light afternoon snack.
Okay, I want the perfect bite of all the things.
Yeah, that's the one.
(crunching sound)
So good, super refreshing.
Full of hydration, sweetness, saltiness, spice.
It really hits almost all of the flavors,
the major flavors on your tongue, except for umami.
I wanna go to a Pilates class
and by the time I've done that, it will be dinner time
and I will be hungry.
It's dinner time!
I'm very tired, so I wanted to clean out the fridge
and throw something together using just random things
that I had in my fridge and freezer.
So, based on what I had I thought it would be fun to do
just a quick, easy homemade ramen.
So I have a couple of these sausages,
so I'm thinking I'm going to slices those and pan fry them
and that'll be the protein for our ramen.
I have frozen peas, frozen edamame and frozen corn.
I have this leftover chicken-style broth from
a recipe I was testing
and I have these leftover stir fry noodles,
which will be like the noodles for the ramen.
I have a bunch of hot sauces and things in the fridge
so I can just add some sauce to it.
Think I'm gonna to cook the vegetables, nope.
That's the wrong burner.
I think I'm gonna cook the vegetables in the broth.
I'm gonna to toss the broth into a pan.
(liquid pouring)
SO this is about two cups, 500 ml of broth that we're using
and I'm just going to take the edamame, the peas
and the corn and just throw it right in the broth.
(splashing sound)
All right, while that is heating up,
I'm going to put the noodles into a bowl.
There's a lot more noodles in here than I though actually.
And I am going to pan fry, slice and pan fry, the sausages
and then just build it all, really easy.
Guys, contrary to what everyone thinks on the internet,
I don't just eat deep fried stuff all the time.
I really try to focus on like quick easy meals
because I do so much recipe testing
and so much cooking for my job.
So when it's just me, I'm just doing things that are
quick, comforting, easy, don't take a lot of time, healthy.
I'm not just eating junk food or fried food all the time.
I do eat a lot of burgers though, I will admit.
But yeah, so I do eat like a balanced diet I would say.
So a lot of it is me just making stuff up
on the spot using what I already have.
I have my non-stick stone pot heating up here.
Not pot, sorry, my pan.
I'm just gonna toss the sausage in, right there.
And I don't really need any oil because it's a non-stick.
So I'm just gonna cook those until they're heated through,
it's about like two to three minutes on each side.
Okay, our broth and corn and peas and edamame are ready.
Usually ramen is all like pretty,
and layered but this is kind of just like
a smattering of everything.
So I'm going to just kind of randomly
kind of make it pretty.
There we go.
Then, 'cause I like some heat, some hot sauce.
And maybe we'll do a garnish.
Voila!
(mid-tempo music)
I'm going to eat this, and relax.
This is one of my go-to's that I make all the time,
is some sort of soup-esque thing.
Some sort of noodle soup, whether its a faux
chicken noodle soup or like a ramen style, or a pho.
Sometimes I use just like the no-chicken
better than bouillon, just mix it with water.
But really, just whatever you have leftover
in the fridge, throw it in there, cook up some noodles.
And because of my laziness, I always make sure that
I have frozen vegetables on hand.
My favorite is peas, edamame and corn
but if you love, I don't know broccoli,
have broccoli on hand.
If you love cauliflower, have cauliflower on hand.
Yeah just experiment when you cook.
No ice cream for tiny Harley's.
She's so eager.
I love that she plays us against each other.
She's like, oh okay you're not gonna give me any?
She's going to.
I mean we do eat a lot of ice cream here.
- Yeah, we just sort of eat a lot here.
(laughing)
- That's true, you're not wrong.
Thank you so much for spending the day with me.
