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’,
Hi Kris,
Thanks so much for all things healthy that you share with us. I really love your enthusiasm towards life and a healthy lifestyle. Having said that I have just been made aware through Youtube about the possible dangers of using a Vitamix Blender (I have one too). I won’t go into detail but it has to do with the plastic if it gets scratched and BPA. I think it’s worth checking out and possibly replacing the plastic container with stainless steel container from Waring (apparently this can be done). Sorry to sound negative but I know you use your blender every day too so I am concerned. Thanks for your beautiful vibe!
Hi, Kris,
Gosh you are so amazing. Have watched, listened and hopefully learned from you for so long now, thank you..
I have been watching the amazing free FTVM movies as well…. and there seems to be a “divide”, although still a healthy choice, about whether to eat meat/fish (grass fed, wild caught) as part of an anti-inflammatory program. I am really about 98% plant based….rarely (every six months?) eat any other than plant based… but some seem to say that is “healthy”. Why would I “need” to eat animal products at all….you are a shining example of NOT doing that.
Just looking for clarification, please.
Big hugs of gratitude!!

I’ve been doing the green’s and my PH level is high is that bad or should that be happening? Is that a good sign. If you are eating more green/alkaline and less acid then I’m think your PH level would be high. I was going to stop and try and get PH levels back down but this might be working to my advantage.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Hi Kris
I am wondering what you personally think of the Budwig protocal – I have recently been told I have chronic leukaemia and am quite confused with which direction to go regarding my diet. I have been vegetarian for over 30 yrs and no dairy, and to be honest don’t feel that great when trying to consume the cottage cheese/flax. Would really appreciate your reply.
Enjoyed your video thanks so much.
I READ IF I EAT KALE I HAVE TO SUPPLEMENT W/IODINE/KE;P….BUT NY SKIN DREAKS OUT THEN
Hi Kriss! I recently read you’re book and im going to embark on the 21 day cleanse, so excited! I eat a pretty healthy diet already but I have a bad digestive system and not losing any weight. I wanted ask how much and how often should I be eating fermented foods and probiotics?
i like this i love these type of blog .
Hi Kris, you wild and wonderful woman! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video about your daily eats. BTW, very well done and so entertaining. You mentioned the free cooking classes. Well, it’s the middle of Dec; are you still doing the free classes? If so, I would so enjoy being able to watch them? Thanks so much for all your encouragement.
Hey Kris!
We watched this just before our shopping trip to Whole Foods and decided to expand our tastes, so bought Tempeh. Brought it home to make it with Soba noodles, like you showed in the video, but cannot find a recipe! We searched your book, your cookbook and your website. I bought the GF sauce (cannot remember the name currently) you said to boil it in too. We want our first experience to be an awesome once, so can you provide me a little more instruction?
How much water and sauce do you boil it in? You mentioned that you can boil it for up to an hour before cooking it. Is there a point when you know it is done? Or will the boiling just add moisture/flavor? Once it’s finished boiling, what do you mean by “cooking it”? Do you pan fry it? Bake it?
This is a brand new item to be working with for us, and we want to be sure that we do it well.
Hello!!! I love our book, your recipes, and of course your very inspiring spirit!!! It was so helpful to see what you eat on a daily basis! I was just wondering what kind of tofu to use? Im getting confused about if tofu is good to eat or not good to eat?? Thanks you!
Sooooo good. Thank you for this Kris! Love to get a good idea of what to eat!
You are fabulous.
very inspiring
I also love greens but had a sarcoma. Surgery resulted in replacement of a vein and now I must be on a blood thinner so that my blood can circulate. My current allowance of vitamin K (dark green veggies) consists of 1/2 cup per day. Any suggestions as to how I can get similar results with other veggies?
Hi Chris,
thank you so much for the inspiration! I just downloaded your new ebook! Amazing! Truly love it!
Tomorrow I will try a Green Juice first thing in the morning! Well… actually second as I am going for the warm water with lemon first! 😉
Looking forward to detoxing on a daily basis!

Does your smoothie and juicer recipe book also have recipes for soups?
Great video! My husband and I are just starting to transition to plant-based eating and I admit it’s been overwhelming trying to break old habits. I appreciate how you have conveyed the simplicity of it in this video. Love your bit of humor too with that Maggie Smith impression. Can’t wait to get your book! 😀
Dear Chris-
You’re great!!Thanks for all you do and ARE.
I’ve been food plan seeking since my total hysterectomy(gratefully just PRE-cancer)and am now so afraid of developing breast or other cancers-I’m 70 and about 70lbs overweight.Re to Esselstyne and McDougall oils nuts etc are a NO-NO.According to many,phytonutrients are ditto(you use soy and flax seeds).
Any thoughts on how to de-confuse me?Hoping for a response from you.
Blessings,
Tzivia
I have been a vegan for 2 years. After reading your books I really was not eating alot of greens. I ate more beans,rice and fruit and less veggies. I also was drinking 2 glasses of wine a day with gluten free pretzels (a lot) to relax. So for the past week I gave up the wine and also pretzels and I am eating more greens. I have been so tired this week. My energy level is not there. Is this normal? How long does it take to get the energy that you talk about.
Kris, I am so inspired by you on a regular basis. Thanks so much–every time I watch your videos I feel refreshed and renewed! You really are a wellness angel to me.
Thank you yet again for wonderful inspiration. I love your CSK cookbook, everything I have tried has turned out amazing. You are truley inspiring 🙂 thanks.
