Hi Gang!
This week, I finally made the video that everyone’s been asking me to make.
It’s the answer to the number one question I get asked: “What do YOU eat, Kris?”
So here’s a little show and tell, an up close and personal peek at MY eats!
In this video, you’ll see everything I made (and ate) for the day, which of course includes a boatload of green juice. Some of the delicious recipes can be found in Crazy Sexy Kitchen, while others are my go-to, everyday staples. All of the dishes are 100 percent plant-empowered, easy and quick. Hey, I filmed this on a spectacular fall day. You better believe I chose simple meals that would allow me to play in the autumn light and soak in the crimson.
I hope my little food tour inspires you to get creative in the kitchen. Remember, variety is the spice of life and the heart of a healthy diet. Every day brings new opportunities for fun and folly in the kitchen. Tomorrow, I’ll probably start my day with a green smoothie, then if I’m still hungry, I’ll make the hot Coconut and Mango Millet porridge from my cookbook. At lunch, I just might get a hankering for some hearty Crazy Sexy Bean Chili. Thankfully, I made and froze a big batch a few weeks ago. Defrost and a-go-go! And if I find myself in the middle of a snack attack, there are lots of recipes to choose from at KrisCarr.com and in Crazy Sexy Kitchen.
By the way, lately I’ve been obsessed with Brazil nuts (a great source of selenium, which helps boost metabolism and reduce inflammation). I toss a small handful in my smoothies and store them like dog treats (but for people) in my pockets.
Your Turn: If you have a question, leave a comment below. I’ll do my best to answer as many as possible. Or if you’ve got a plant-passionate dish, tip or trick to share, let us know in the comments section! We’d all love to know.
OK, press play.
Peace & cookin’,
Thanks for the great video!
Looking forward to your new book, Kris. I was wondering if you know of any gluten free breads that are low or reduced carb and also gluten and soy-free? I am really sensitive to any gluten and allergic to soy. Thanks!
HI Kris,
Loved this video it was so refreshing to see your vibrant honest approach. I am so looking forward to getting your book (not long Now) and starting a fresh green future. i have just started this way of eating so it will take some time to wean myself off meat ect. Thank you once again you have given me the life line to a healthier life.
Hi! You make me smile! I love my green juice and also keep it in glass mason jars with BPA free plastic lids. The lids are sold alongside the replacement lids for mason jars at most stores that I’ve been to. I don’t know why, but the thought of fresh juice up against the metal just seems wrong… probably just a weird personal hang-up, but there you have it!
Such a cute video – I love to see what people eat. I’m a vegan foodie for sure.
We’ve been making enough juice for a few days but I have an ultra slow juicer and a press that I use for the pulp so I feel pretty good about it.
I’m teaching my first cooking class in afew weeks. I’m excited to watch yours too. (rembmer, I’m a huge foodie!)
Can’t wait for my book to come in the mail!
xoxo!
Love love love it lady! You rock! 🙂
A couple questions… About what temperature is your water with lemon? How long do you wait to eat breakfast after drinking it? And, what type of oats and how do you cook them? (I know you said no no to microwaves).
Thank you!

My water is usually luke warm. Since I’m never hungry right away I have my water, tea, juice and then usually around 9:30- 10 am ish I eat. I buy regular oats or steel cut oats in bulk. 🙂
Thank you Kris! The video was fabulous and the food looks so yummy! Can’t wait to try the untuna!
Your work inspires me to continue on this healthy path and share your wisdom with others in my circle that need it.
Keep up the good plant based fight!
Kris,
I loved the video. I was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in September 2011 and your book has helped me more than you could know!
I was wondering if you add chlorophyll to your water and if so, what kind do you get?
Also, what juicer do you recommend?
Thanks so much!!
I actually don’t add chlorophyll, I get it from the juice. But you could add it. Not sure what brand is best.
🙂
That’s really thkiinng at an impressive level
Kris,
You are the number one inspiration for health, wellness, and my plant based crazy sexy life. I absolutely adore you and love this video. I can’t wait for your cookbook and more of your wonderful goodies ahead. Your Crazy Sexy Diet book is my bible and I joyfully spread the Kris Carr message of plant love to all my friends and family.
Keep it up! You are so adored and loved, girl!
xoxo

Hi! Will there be any meal plans with grocery lists in the book? I home school and care for children alone all week as hubby travels, and what may seem simple to some is monumental to me when it comes to getting all the ingredients I need into my home for the week/month. Hey, here’s an idea! It would be great if your recipes were on All Recipes.com or some type meal planning of website. Where you can click the meal, add it to your menu for the week/month, and click the Make Grocery List button! I’ll bet you would love to have all your recipes in something like this, eh? How about a meal planning website?!! It could even include juice recipes! C’mon, think of how much MORE lovely Fall weather you could enjoy if you could plan your meals and drinks at the click of a button! And people would pay a monthly fee . . . 😀
Great idea Tonie! We’ll add it to the listy. xo 🙂
We do have menu ideas in the back of the book.
I heard a great idea yesterday – a cookbook with QR codes. You scan the QR code of the recipe you want and the shopping list gets emailed to your phone. Seems super easy and convenient!
Hurray! for Kris and this great medium of Digital, Online, cooking!
Whatever it takes to get this great video presentation of your work to become a full fledged Prime Time show is my hope for you, Kris Carr. I’m not totally green yet, but with your help I’m getting there. Three Cheers for Brian and his great lighting and camera work. Best of Luck, Will
Thank you Will!
Can you tell me what you do with your leftover pulp from juicing? I just bought a Breville and I hate to waste all that good fiber. Thanks so much!
You compost will love you!
Beloved wellness warrior,
Awesome video! I was amazed at how normal your diet is! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This was a relief for an overachiever like me, wondering, if 100% raw is the only path to radiant health and energy. Your path is actually quite simple. Many can follow. What I admire now is how you stay away from sweets! That’s a hard one for me. I don’t eat sugar often (replace it with Stevia or Xylitol), but I love honey, dates, figs, apricots, raisins and fruits, all full of sweetness. What steps did you take?
Love your mission and recommend you to everyone who needs to hear your message! 😀

Hi Kris!
This video is wonderful, as are all the Cooking Classes! I made the Chickpea Crepes
for my parents for dinner Sunday, and they ‘did not miss the meat’ 🙂
It is So Much Fun to learn with you this way!
Perhaps a Dr Oz type TV format for you may be more of a time and life commitment
than you want, but how wonderful it would be, and how much quicker your information
may travel around the world….
I had the opportunity in Michigan to have you sign my CS Diet book, and, if you are
doing a book tour and traveling to MI again, I’d love to have the opportunity again.
Creative Blessings to You!
Hiya Kris

So pleased for you and all your successes. Keep on truckin’. The world needs you.

Thank you for continuing to inspire me with your green juice and positive outlook on life!

Thank you so much for doing this video 🙂 I have been following you for a few months and I have learned SOOOOO much about what we need to be eating and I am getting both crazy sexy diet and crazy sexy kitchen and I can’t wait to make more plant powered recipes 🙂 YAAAY PLANTS! And keep doing videos on here because I learn more each time I watch your videos! Thank you! Keep up the wonderful work!
I’m wondering what the benefit of gluten-free tamari is if you also have toast and wrap which presumably have gluten?
The wrap is gluten free and the rye is low gluten.

HI Kris and THANK YOU for the inspiration I needed today. Love it how your emails happen at the right time:) I am back in the daily juicing habit and I am wondering what’s the best kale to use? I seem to have the best yield with Lucinato, but I’d love to know what you think? Can’t wait for the book:)
I actually love all types of kale and haven’t seen any info regarding whether or not a certain type is better or not. 🙂
