1. 0:00Good morning, guys. It's Sid, and
2. 0:01welcome back.
3. 0:03>> [music]
4. 0:11[music]
5. 0:12>> Yesterday, I was trying to think of
6. 0:14videos, and I was like, "What do you
7. 0:15guys even want to see from me now?" I
8. 0:16would say like the one of the top
9. 0:17comments was asking for like what I eat
10. 0:19in a day videos and just like healthy,
11. 0:21easy recipes. And I'm kind of honored,
12. 0:24all right? I'm like a little flattered
13. 0:25that you guys think I'm that much of a
14. 0:27chef now. I like to consider myself a
15. 0:30lazy girl chef. I don't love to be in
16. 0:32the kitchen for hours on end. I just
17. 0:35want to make something that's good and
18. 0:37healthy, balanced, and just clean
19. 0:39without like taking forever. The past
20. 0:41year, I've kind of gathered a few
21. 0:43recipes of things that I really like.
22. 0:44So, I'm going to share them with you
23. 0:45guys. Over the next few days, I'm going
24. 0:47to do like a little what I eat. I get
25. 0:48really obsessed with something. When I
26. 0:50find a recipe that I like, it's over for
27. 0:52the next 3 months. I will be eating that
28. 0:54on repeat every single day until I hate
29. 0:57it like deep in my bones and I never
30. 0:59want to eat it again. The current thing
31. 1:01that I'm eating for breakfast, well, I'm
32. 1:03actually drinking, is my favorite
33. 1:05smoothie. When I tell you guys I think I
34. 1:07have the best smoothie recipe, I really
35. 1:10mean it. Let's get the ingredients out.
36. 1:13I freeze my bananas. So, I add about a
37. 1:16full banana.
38. 1:18I add a good handful of frozen [music]
39. 1:19strawberries.
40. 1:21I add about, I want to say half a cup of
41. 1:23Greek yogurt.
42. 1:25I add stevia doll protein powder. I love
43. 1:26this one by Orgain. Oh, no, I forgot I'm
44. 1:30out. I ordered some on Amazon, though.
45. 1:32Maybe Oh, it's here.
46. 1:35>> [music]
47. 1:39>> I'm adding two scoops, which is like a
48. 1:41full serving of this protein powder.
49. 1:43>> [music]
50. 1:44>> 1 Tbsp of peanut butter. I like to add a
51. 1:46little bit of vanilla extract.
52. 1:50>> [music]
53. 1:51>> Quite a good amount of milk. And then
54. 1:54lastly, what I think makes this so good
55. 1:56are cacao nibs. So, these add like a
56. 1:58little bit of crunch. I really just like
57. 2:00the texture of them. I remember I went
58. 2:02to a smoothie bar once, and they did
59. 2:04this, and that is what inspired me to
60. 2:06add them to my own. So,
61. 2:10if I add space, one ice cube. I'm saying
62. 2:12one because these are like ginormous ice
63. 2:13cubes. And that is everything in my
64. 2:16smoothie. So, just blend it up. [music]
65. 2:25>> [music]
66. 2:30>> And that's it. That's my smoothie
67. 2:31recipe, guys. I really hope one person
68. 2:33makes this and tells me just like your
69. 2:36honest feedback, because I think it's so
70. 2:37good. My boyfriend also really loves
71. 2:39this. So, sometimes I'll make this for
72. 2:41both of us. As you can see, this makes
73. 2:42like two full servings. You can see the
74. 2:44little cacao nibs in there. It just
75. 2:46feels like I'm like eating something at
76. 2:48the same time, and I just feel so
77. 2:50satiated after having this, which for me
78. 2:52is the biggest thing. I don't want to
79. 2:53like drink something like this and then
80. 2:54be hungry an hour later. I'm just going
81. 2:56to plan for my day on my laptop. I like
82. 2:58to do this when I have my smoothie. I'm
83. 3:00just like write my whole to-do list in
84. 3:01the morning cuz I get sort of distracted
85. 3:03and I need to know exactly what I need
86. 3:04to do for the day.
87. 3:06>> [music]
88. 3:14[music]
89. 3:23[music]
90. 3:30[music]
91. 3:31>> I'm back at my favorite coffee shop.
92. 3:35What's happened is I've built a bit of a
93. 3:37rapport here. I have my friends, the
94. 3:39baristas. I have my punch card. I'm a
95. 3:42loyal member. I don't mess around. I
96. 3:44like their coffee, so I come here
97. 3:46because I like to get out [music] of the
98. 3:48house, you guys know, when I work. And I
99. 3:50do get a lot of questions of people
100. 3:52rightfully asking like, "What are you
101. 3:53even doing when you say that you're like
102. 3:55working on your laptop? What does this
103. 3:56entail?" It depends. Sometimes I'm
104. 3:58editing a YouTube video or I'm working
105. 4:01on a campaign for a brand or something,
106. 4:03but I also have a jewelry brand, which
107. 4:06takes up a lot of my time. If anyone out
108. 4:08there is also a small business owner,
109. 4:10you know how much time goes into it, and
110. 4:13it's all fun for me. Like I doesn't even
111. 4:15feel like I'm really working. For
112. 4:16example, we're having a shoot for our
113. 4:17next campaign on Thursday. So, I need to
114. 4:20plan that with the photographer. We have
115. 4:22the shoot location booked and the model
116. 4:23and everything, but there's just like a
117. 4:24couple last-minute things that I need to
118. 4:26work on for that. So, that is why I'm
119. 4:28here. I usually camp out here for quite
120. 4:30a while. A good 3, 4 hours. My recent
121. 4:34coffee order has been pretty much the
122. 4:35same, an iced vanilla latte with skim
123. 4:37milk, but I try to ask for half of the
124. 4:39vanilla, just because I'm trying to
125. 4:41slowly wean off sugar a little bit, at
126. 4:44least just do my best. I am addicted.
127. 4:47So, yeah, I'm just going to work for a
128. 4:48little bit. I might have a little snack.
129. 4:50I brought my Chomps stick.
130. 4:53>> [music]
131. 4:59[music]
132. 5:00>> I'm back home now. I ended up shooting a
133. 5:02little campaign with my roommate, so
134. 5:03that's why I did my makeup if you
135. 5:05noticed. One of my friends has a bakery,
136. 5:07[music] and she gave this to me. There
137. 5:09is nothing better than fresh sourdough.
138. 5:11Whenever I have a loaf, I just like want
139. 5:12to use it up. By the way, I'm trying to
140. 5:13figure out how to make good sourdough.
141. 5:15So, if you have any um tips, let me
142. 5:18know. I don't have a ton of stuff in my
143. 5:19fridge. I think I need to run to the
144. 5:20grocery store, but I have avocado and I
145. 5:22have eggs, so I think I'm just going to
146. 5:24[music] throw together some avocado
147. 5:26toast. Pretty simple, but it's going to
148. 5:27be amazing because of this bread.
149. 5:30>> [music]
150. 5:36>> I don't have a toaster for some reason,
151. 5:38which poses its inconveniences, but I do
152. 5:41have an air fryer.
153. 5:45>> [music]
154. 5:51[music]
155. 5:58>> I wasn't super hungry, but I did want to
156. 5:59have something. I do think I have also
157. 6:02I'm really making this seem like a
158. 6:03science, but I feel like I have
159. 6:05perfected my avocado toast. I have had
160. 6:08two different people, I'm realizing it's
161. 6:09like my friend and my mom, tell me that
162. 6:11they love my avocado [laughter] toast.
163. 6:13So, I'll take it. I'll take what I can
164. 6:15get. I did copy the Brandy Melville Cafe
165. 6:18on this. They made their avocado toast
166. 6:20with honey. That to me was something I'd
167. 6:22never thought of, and ever since then,
168. 6:23[music]
169. 6:24I put honey on my avocado toast. But
170. 6:26this time I did hot honey. Sometimes
171. 6:28I'll do that. It's fun to switch it up.
172. 6:29And of course, you need everything bagel
173. 6:31seasoning, too. It's kind of it.
174. 6:33>> [music]
175. 6:33>> Anyways, I'm going to head to the gym.
176. 6:40>> [music]
177. 6:46[music]
178. 6:49>> I made it back home from my workout
179. 6:51about an hour ago. I still haven't
180. 6:53changed. That's kind of disgusting. I'm
181. 6:55honestly probably going to start making
182. 6:56dinner soon, but I know it's going to be
183. 6:58a process, and I just can't wait. So,
184. 7:00I'm going to have a little snack. I have
185. 7:02Chomps all the time, so I was so excited
186. 7:04when Chomps asked to work with me. I
187. 7:05have one of these in my purse pretty
188. 7:07much at all times now. They don't have
189. 7:08to be refrigerated, and it doesn't take
190. 7:10any prep at all. They're just so easy
191. 7:11and quick for me, especially cuz I'm
192. 7:12gone a lot or I'm on the go, I'm
193. 7:14shooting something, I'm working on
194. 7:16Ophelia. I like these are just so
195. 7:18convenient, but they're still I feel so
196. 7:20good eating them. I love that they have
197. 7:210 g of sugar and 10 g of protein. And
198. 7:23they're also great quality because
199. 7:24they're grass-fed and finished. They
200. 7:26also have Chomplings, which I bring a
201. 7:27lot, too. They're like the mini version
202. 7:29of this. These are just my go-to. I
203. 7:31mean, this is my second of the day, so
204. 7:32you can probably already tell how much I
205. 7:34love them. I was also so happy because
206. 7:36they gave me a code for you guys. So, if
207. 7:37you want 15% off your order plus free
208. 7:40shipping, you can go to
209. 7:40chomps.com/sid15.
210. 7:43I'll put the link in the description or
211. 7:44I'll also put a QR code like on the
212. 7:46screen. And you can get a little deal,
213. 7:47grab some Chomps for yourself. Thanks
214. 7:49again to Chomps for working with me. I
215. 7:51I'm so happy to work with them. I just
216. 7:53like love their stuff. That is going to
217. 7:54hold me over till dinner now, so I'm
218. 7:56going to start cooking. Me and my
219. 7:57roommate I think are going to make
220. 7:58little bowls for us. Olivia and I both
221. 8:01have addictive personalities. We, you
222. 8:03know, we get stuck on the same meal. So,
223. 8:05one of our like current three rotations
224. 8:07that we have pretty much every week are
225. 8:09these quinoa chicken bowls. I made them
226. 8:11a few times on here. They're just so
227. 8:13easy, and I think the key, though, is
228. 8:15having a white sweet potato. I don't
229. 8:16know what about them are so good,
230. 8:18especially how much better I think they
231. 8:20are than regular sweet potatoes, but
232. 8:21this with some cinnamon and olive oil
233. 8:24tossed together roasted in the oven is
234. 8:26just so good. Are we adding tzatziki to
235. 8:28this? Yeah, I am.
236. 8:30Okay, perfect. Olivia and I have our own
237. 8:32duties. Uh she's on chicken duty
238. 8:34usually. I'm on quinoa and sweet potato
239. 8:37duty, so it makes it so much easier,
240. 8:39too, when you cook like with your friend
241. 8:40or roommate, [snorts] because making two
242. 8:42quantities of something is just so much
243. 8:44easier than like making something for
244. 8:46one person.
245. 8:48>> [music]
246. 8:50>> For the salad, sir. Hey, guys.
247. 8:53>> [laughter]
248. 8:53>> Okay.
249. 8:54The best part about this meal is making
250. 8:57it with my roommate. It's so fun. It's
251. 8:59kind of like our time to catch up during
252. 9:00the week. We start by chopping up the
253. 9:02one white sweet [music] potato. Coat it
254. 9:04in a good amount of olive oil and
255. 9:05cinnamon. I'm going to put our little
256. 9:07recipe in the description, by the way.
257. 9:09While the sweet potatoes are roasting, I
258. 9:11start chopping up the zucchini. Coat it
259. 9:12in olive oil, salt. I add those in to
260. 9:15roast them as well. Chop up some cherry
261. 9:16tomatoes, and then pretty much start
262. 9:19assembling everything. We put the quinoa
263. 9:21in, spinach, [music] cherry tomatoes
264. 9:23chopped up, avocado, some chicken that
265. 9:25we baked in the air fryer, and then our
266. 9:27potatoes, zucchini, and of course,
267. 9:28tzatziki, [music] which is what makes
268. 9:30this so good and kind of just like come
269. 9:32together.
270. 9:34All right, guys, dinner's ready. We made
271. 9:36our bowls. It's going to be amazing. Per
272. 9:38usual. It took us a little longer this
273. 9:40time. We made it.
274. 9:42>> in the road. Mhm. These are our bowls.
275. 9:44We're going to watch something on
276. 9:45Netflix, probably like a crime
277. 9:47documentary.
278. 9:49>> [music]
279. 9:57>> Good morning. I'm making my same
280. 10:00smoothie again.
281. 10:06>> [music]
282. 10:13>> This is the only way that I know how to
283. 10:15start my morning now. I go to [music]
284. 10:17bed thinking about waking up to drink
285. 10:19this. That's when you know you're
286. 10:21[music] in too deep.
287. 10:24This is not the meal I'm the most proud
288. 10:26of. I was out and about. I was working.
289. 10:28So, I just picked up this [music]
290. 10:29chicken wrap with rice, tomato. Some
291. 10:31days are just like this. It's all about
292. 10:33balance. Hey guys, long time no see.
293. 10:36I've been drinking this Core Power
294. 10:38shake. I do love these, by the way. So
295. 10:40good. I'm going to make dinner now. I
296. 10:41have, you know, about three in rotation.
297. 10:43This is probably my number one like
298. 10:45consistent go-to over the past couple
299. 10:47years. And they're my favorite taco
300. 10:49bowls. They're so good, so easy. I can
301. 10:51probably finish cooking this in around
302. 10:5325 minutes.
303. 10:54>> [music]
304. 10:54>> I love my jasmine rice. So, I'm going to
305. 10:56start by boiling this.
306. 11:00>> [music]
307. 11:02>> It was really devastating at the grocery
308. 11:04store because they didn't have
309. 11:06pre-chopped onions, which is like the
310. 11:08one thing that I really I'll spend the
311. 11:10extra money on. I hate chopping onions
312. 11:12and I hate chopping, honestly, a lot of
313. 11:14vegetables. Pre-chopped just like makes
314. 11:16my life 10 times easier. But, you know
315. 11:18what? I can live with it. We're going
316. 11:20in.
317. 11:25>> [music]
318. 11:27>> I don't think he's doing anything.
319. 11:29Watching this back is a bit painful.
320. 11:30Like, why am I this dramatic? I start by
321. 11:32making my guac. This is what makes this
322. 11:35meal so good, in my opinion. After I
323. 11:37chop up my onion and tomato, I throw
324. 11:39them in a bowl with one ripe avocado. I
325. 11:41add fresh lime juice and cilantro. I
326. 11:44know some people think cilantro tastes
327. 11:45like [music] soap, which every time I
328. 11:47eat it, I think about that. I just like
329. 11:49feel bad for those people. Obviously, I
330. 11:51add some salt. You can kind of do this
331. 11:53to taste. You know, add as many tomatoes
332. 11:54as you want, onion. After I like to cook
333. 11:56my ground beef, I usually get the lean
334. 11:58ground beef and I also add in a packet
335. 12:01of taco seasoning. A little hack. It's
336. 12:03so good and so easy. And then I start to
337. 12:05assemble the taco bowl, starting with
338. 12:07shredded iceberg lettuce. Pre-shredded,
339. 12:09of course, if you're lazy like me. I add
340. 12:10the rice, the ground beef, the guac that
341. 12:12I made, and some cheese. You can kind of
342. 12:14add just like whatever you would like in
343. 12:16your taco bowl.
344. 12:18>> [music]
345. 12:20>> The more that you make something, the
346. 12:22easier it is because then you know like
347. 12:23the shortcuts. You know like what to
348. 12:25start first. So, this luckily doesn't
349. 12:26take me too long. Usually, I like to
350. 12:28have like tortilla chips on the side or
351. 12:29something with the guac, but this is
352. 12:31just like foolproof. I feel like you
353. 12:33can't really mess up making this. It's
354. 12:35pretty straightforward. Well,
355. 12:37I did burn the rice one time. We also
356. 12:40need to talk about something. I've been
357. 12:41getting hate, okay? I've been getting a
358. 12:43lot of hate and it's been heavy on my
359. 12:44heart. People are hating on our
360. 12:46apartment. Um I know. I know
361. 12:50>> [gasps]
362. 12:50>> there's not a lot of color going on,
363. 12:52okay? That's why I have the candle. I
364. 12:53think I've just sort of learned that I
365. 12:54like more like a minimalist decor like
366. 12:57this. I like the dark walnuts, the
367. 12:59creams, the beiges. And you know what?
368. 13:01If that makes me boring,
369. 13:03then so be it. I just wanted to let you
370. 13:04guys know I have seen the comments. And
371. 13:06you know what? I'm sorry. Maybe for you
372. 13:08guys, I'll try to incorporate color
373. 13:09somehow. I have something that I have to
374. 13:10edit that was due 40 minutes ago. So,
375. 13:13I'm trying to edit this right now. And
376. 13:14then tomorrow morning, I have a shoot
377. 13:16for Ophelia. So, I'm also trying to like
378. 13:18prep that. It's already almost 9:00 p.m.
379. 13:21I feel like I have a long night ahead of
380. 13:22me, to be honest. Still got to eat a
381. 13:23good healthy meal.
382. 13:25>> [music]
383. 13:30[music]
384. 13:34>> Good morning, guys. I know it looks
385. 13:36messy in here. I also am wearing a
386. 13:38shirt. This morning, I woke up like 7:00
387. 13:41because we're doing a little shoot for
388. 13:42Ophelia, my jewelry brand. It's in
389. 13:45Brooklyn and we like rented a studio.
390. 13:47It's going to be me, the photographer,
391. 13:49the model, who actually is my roommate,
392. 13:52and my assistant. So, just getting ready
393. 13:54for that, which I'm so excited for. I'm
394. 13:56a little bit nervous, but mostly
395. 13:57excited. For breakfast, I just wanted
396. 13:59[music] to do something really quick
397. 14:00because I'm running like a little late.
398. 14:02These are the blueberry maple oats. I
399. 14:04got these at Whole Foods. You can get
400. 14:05them, I think, quite a few places. My
401. 14:07dad and I discovered these together on a
402. 14:09trip. Specifically, this flavor is the
403. 14:11best. And there's not too much sugar in
404. 14:13this. It's coconut sugar. I really like
405. 14:15them. Wish me luck.

408. 14:30>> Hey guys, update. I am done with the
409. 14:33shoot. It went so well. I am so excited
410. 14:36to see the photos. What I ate today so
411. 14:38far was not the best. I had pastries at
412. 14:42the shoot. I had my coffee and my
413. 14:44oatmeal. I think that's all I had. So, I
414. 14:46am very hungry, but I decided to go on a
415. 14:49little walk because it's so beautiful.
416. 14:51It's 70° outside. I feel like as I get
417. 14:53older, I appreciate the days that the
418. 14:55weather is good so much more than I used
419. 14:57to. Look how beautiful it is, guys. And
420. 15:00then I think I'm going to go out to
421. 15:01dinner tonight. My boyfriend and I are
422. 15:04going to go on a little dinner date. So,
423. 15:05I will keep you updated.

426. 15:19guys. I feel like the worst YouTuber at
427. 15:21these points.

430. 15:23nice like go out every once in a while.
431. 15:26I love some good pasta. I did want to
432. 15:27say I didn't show everything that I ate
433. 15:29in the span of these 3 days. I just
434. 15:31wanted to show the highlights of some of
435. 15:32my favorite recipes and try to keep it
436. 15:34real, too. You know, sometimes I go out
437. 15:36and grab stuff because [music] I'm just
438. 15:37in a rush, but I try my best. Love you
439. 15:39guys and I'll see you in my next video.
