 to my channel guys. It's your girl Coco Styles and on this channel we talk about beauty, fashion, and lifestyle. But in today's video I'm going to show you guys what's in my pantry vegan style. So I'm going to get started. I am an alkaline vegan 95 percent of the times. The other 5 percent I'm still vegan but it's not alkaline foods. I do believe in eating in moderation so I'm not out here picking out on things that I'm not supposed to put into my body. So I'm going to get started guys and a lot of the things in here I usually order off of line. That is the only difficult part with being alkaline vegan. Trying to find the stuff in your local farmers market or grocery store. So I'm going to start with kamut. So for those of you guys who eat grits often I substitute my grits for kamut cereal. Kamut hot cereal and this is amazing. So for those of you guys out there who are trying to kind of get away from the standard American diet and you love grits I would recommend trying this. And this is the Bob Red Mill brand. I usually get the organic one. There's only like a couple of cents more. And they change the packaging. I like this one a little bit better because it snaps. I mean it's resealable. But this you can use as a replacement for grits. So if you're not going to just go cold turkey being vegan I would recommend trying to cut out some of the other starchy stuff. And kamut is gluten free. So if you are if you have gluten issues I would recommend getting the kamut. Okay. So I usually order this off of either Vitacost or Swanson and it's pretty fast shipping. So this is stuff that I will have for breakfast. And then I also have kamut flakes. So kamut is a grain and I'll actually show you guys I'll show you guys the full grain. So that one grain comes into different many different forms. So this is the kamut flakes and this is like oatmeal. So again this is gluten free. They also have the spelt version of this which is not gluten. So you have a choice to pick. I think I have I have a little bit of spelt. So the color is a little bit different. But this is also one of my breakfast choices that I usually pick. And sometimes if I don't use water I would just make some what do you call that some walnut milk and just kind of make it really creamy and stuff. And these are my grits. And again this is kamut flakes. And let's see what else. So the grain the actual grain for kamut is here. Let me show you guys. Let me see if I can show you guys. Can you guys see that? So this is the full grain of the kamut. And this is good too. It's almost like a substitute for rice but it does not taste like rice guys. So you have to cook it down really really well or soak it overnight. Otherwise it'll be hard. But this is the main grain. So this grain they take this and make them the hot cereal and they make the flakes. And one more thing they actually have the cereal puffs. So all four of those things come well the three of those things come from that one grain. And this is the cereal and this kind of tastes like honey smacks without the honey guys. So what I usually do with this is I would make some walnut milk and then I would pour a little bit of agave in the milk and then just a tad bit on the cereal. Not too much because I don't want it too sweet. And here's my cereal. That's kamut cereal. I'm going to link this stuff for you guys. I would recommend giving it a try and just trying to stay away from the starches and stuff these days especially with everything going on. You want to try to be you want to have a mucusless diet during these times. I would recommend and just trying to stay healthy. So those are some of the things that I do eat for breakfast. Sometimes I would make spelt bread or like a muffin or something out of spelt or garbanzo bean flour which is also chickpeas. So those are some of the things that I keep in my closet all the time. I also buy wild rice. Now wild rice is actually not a rice it's actually a grass. So I get this it's a little expensive but it's worth it. Some people do soak it overnight. I'm not going to lie to you when I first went alkaline vegan it was cold turkey but I really was not trying to soak this rice. I said if I cannot just cook it I'm going to struggle with this lifestyle. So one day I just decided to just start it out with a cup of wild rice and a cup of two cups of water and it was still hard. I got up to probably five cups of water so one cup of this rice and it was perfect. So that's my ratio that I use now and this is the only way I can do it without having to soak it overnight. So that's wild rice. So this is something this is another one of my staples that I keep in here and I also keep in here sesame seeds. I like to sprinkle this on salads and I like to sprinkle this inside of just like some dishes that I make in stir fries. So I keep sesame seeds it's not a staple but if I feel for a taste I would you know I'm buy it. Walnuts I keep walnuts in here because I make so much milk and I make a lot of like homemade trail mixes. So I keep walnuts in here. My brazil nuts are rather low as you can see. So what I would do with brazil nuts is I would make like a dressing a salad dressing or I would make a creamy dressing for like pasta and I'll show you guys which pasta I use in a second and when I was talking about that 5% non alkaline is cashews. So I have cashews, I have pumpkin seeds and I have popcorn. These are not on my list to eat however um cashews is a good substitute for cheese. Also that's not on my list and I really try to not use it is nutritional yeast. These two together will make your dressing taste like caesar salad dressing caesar dressing. So try that out. Cashews, a couple of brazil nuts and some nutritional yeast and you have delicious dressing but I would definitely season it up because it can be very bland. So that's my nuts and stuff those are my snacks then I also always keep um what else this is not on my list either this is raw organic pistachios um I always buy this too I usually get unsalted if I do get salted it's not really that bad from where I buy it from but um these are so good like this talks things up I don't know why so that's something that I usually get for a snack another staple two staples dry mangoes and dates so in my farmers market they have every type of dry fruit you can possibly think of but I noticed that on some of the packaging you will notice that it's mixed with some sort of sugar or something these are just 100 mango so I get these because they're so good and it's just the mango and then the dates are just the dates I don't eat these by themselves um I'm not really a sweet person but um I would mix this with some milk or whatever and then that's my sweetener for that and I just found it recently buying raisins so as you can see it's not in a container because I recently started buying this I've never used to like raisins I just thought they were so gross but I did a raw vegan diet for like seven days and I needed some snacks so desperate times called for desperate measures and I bought this and it's crazy because I said to myself like why I never tried them before I just didn't like the way they look which is crazy so I usually make put this with some some nuts and stuff and mix like a little trail mix and these are my raisins and again that little notice that I'm saying on here is just the raisins there's another brand that they have in there but it has a whole bunch of sweetness in it so I don't think that so then my flour because I don't because I don't buy regular flour I buy spelt flour and this is the white spelt which is probably not the best but it's better than a regular all-purpose flour so I would use this once in a while if I wanted to make like pizza or something or if I wanted some because it has a different consistency from the wheat spelt so I usually order this again I have to order a lot of my stuff and make some bread or some muffins those pizza pizza dough whatever so this is good I'm actually going to link them too because I recently found this company because it was very hard finding the spelt and shipping was really really good and that's the white spelt and also let's see what else so I have spelt here's my other five percent kidney beans but let me tell you guys since I do not eat beans often because I was strictly alkaline for probably two years straight these it's just a no-go for my stomach but sometimes I do it but it's sometimes it just it just doesn't work for me but I'll buy this and I keep garbanzo beans in here um this is another staple of mine so this is something that I keep in my closet in my pantry and I keep the white quinoa quinoa and I also keep the red quinoa in here also I just give a small one because this sounds like a really bitter taste to me so I'll keep that and then I actually have some spelt grain which is kind of similar to the kamut um again they look they look the same to me when you cook them but you have to soak these overnight because it's so tough cooking these but it's actually really good and like this is not gluten-free um and then my noodles I buy kamut noodles or spelt noodles and I have some spelt one here I don't like to mix them because they do have a different consistency that's why I'm still sitting like this but I usually get this and this is better than regular pasta it does not taste like your regular standard pasta but it digests in your system completely different and I will tell you when I eat this I could eat a lot and I will not feel full um I won't feel bloated or anything like that so I would recommend trying this this if you're trying to change your diet around um I would recommend just looking into alternatives for the things that you currently eat going cold turkey isn't for everybody um I look cold turkey I believe I told my story because of breast cancer that they say runs in my family so I just wanted to just be a little bit more cautious of what I was putting into my body so let's see what else so I have some I have some tex flour I have some garbanzo bean flour so my garbanzo bean flour which is made out of garbanzo beans I would take this season up the flour um sorry no I would take this put some walnut milk season it up right it makes like a built a milk batter and then I would take the white stuff and make fried mushrooms and it tastes so amazing guys it tastes like chicken oh my goodness and it's not all mushrooms that are fried equally so I would say oyster mushrooms taste really really good fried and if you want it to cheat a little bit you can put some obey on it um the only thing with the obey I believe it has MSG in it I think it may not um it may just be the ingredients honestly and fried it up it kind of tastes like seafood like shrimp and then if you wanted to make regular like regular fried mushrooms it'll taste like chicken so that's about garbanzo bean and then I got some goji berries I keep goji berries and just put a few in them in my smoothies and I have some the other thing that's not on my list which is flax seeds um I don't use these often but once in a while so that's that for that stuff my seasons and stuff I keep here on this little rack here um standard season's cayenne pepper basil which is not on my list pepper is not on my list sea salt yes uh onion powder oregano yes and I have a couple of other ones that I'm not supposed to have that I don't use often but it's not it's not bad because the majority of the stuff that I do eat is on my list um what else do we have here so as far as like oils and stuff when I'm frying my food I use grape seed oil which is here I like this brand a lot um grape seed oil and occasionally I would use sesame seed oil actually has a really good flavor I like sesame seed oil and it cooks cooks my food different sesame seed oil um olive oil I have I do not heat up my olive oil I do not cook without oil I've read multiple things where you should not heat this oil up so if I make like a kale salad because kale is so dry I would pretty much um chop up the kale and put some of this on it and then season the kale up and put like raw onions and stuff like that but I'll oil you I keep and I have some avocado oil now it has a taste to it that I'm not really too fond of that's why I have a small bottle so um some people like it I'm not really a fan of it so I probably use it in my hair um that's all that I have for that stuff and then let's see what else I have that's it I have some stuff here that I don't or I recently just bought this I haven't used it yet which is some dried noni fruit um maybe I'll make some today I'm gonna make some tea my mom used to take this before she passed away um she used to drink noni juice a lot but we used to order it for her so this I'm gonna try it out today but this is the full this is the whole fruit as you guys can see yeah that's what I've done is I don't usually like to keep this stuff in here in the plastic um I have some paper towels in here just a little bit I have extra garbanzo beans I have some nori sheets I have nori sheets and what do I have some kelp I do have some sea vegetable in here and this is another one Pacific Arame I keep this too um let's see and then then I also have let's see some spring water you guys can't see it but I buy spring water that's what I keep in my home I do not use faucet water um I don't use filtered water either so I order water from a spring water company that's loco they deliver it to my home it's a little pricey but hey sometimes things that are good for you cost a little bit more so I don't drink coffee so I put it on my water put the money into my water um and that's it the rest of the stuff that's in here is just extra seasoning that I keep over here I do have some sour-stop leaves um I have some of that and what else and that's it guys so that's what's in my pantry I hope you guys like this pantry overview um if you like videos like this please comment below let me know
