00:00:01.262 --> 00:00:19.567
Sister, you know we love sharing all the strategies that help you to make plant-based living actually enjoyable, so that it's sustainable, and one of the big keys to doing that is making the food taste amazing, because you know, if it doesn't taste good, you're not going to want to eat it.

00:00:19.567 --> 00:00:20.510
I don't want to eat it.

00:00:20.510 --> 00:00:21.724
Jere didn't want to eat it.

00:00:21.724 --> 00:00:25.829
It's got to taste good or we're not going to want to eat it.

00:00:25.829 --> 00:00:31.922
And one of the best ways that you can make it taste amazing is getting flavor into your food.

00:00:31.922 --> 00:00:33.944
And how do you do that?

00:00:33.944 --> 00:00:39.549
In under two minutes, you learn how to become a sauce boss, and that's what we're talking about today.

00:00:39.549 --> 00:00:43.329
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.

00:00:43.329 --> 00:00:48.671
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:48.671 --> 00:00:54.091
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:54.091 --> 00:01:00.353
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:01:00.353 --> 00:01:02.831
Hi, we're Jere, and you need to resell Christ.

00:01:02.831 --> 00:01:08.010
Followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:20.248
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers to traditional routes.

00:01:20.248 --> 00:01:27.471
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.

00:01:27.471 --> 00:01:31.250
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:31.250 --> 00:01:36.411
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:36.411 --> 00:01:44.650
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:01:44.650 --> 00:01:49.930
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:49.930 --> 00:01:55.500
Hello there, sisters, and apparently brothers.

00:01:55.500 --> 00:01:58.590
Okay, we're giving a shout out to the brothers today.

00:01:58.590 --> 00:02:01.168
Listen, sisters, you are not alone.

00:02:01.168 --> 00:02:03.667
Apparently, we have a lot of brothers hanging out with us.

00:02:03.667 --> 00:02:09.412
We even had our first man join us inside Power On Plant Society this week.

00:02:09.412 --> 00:02:10.925
We have loved getting to know him.

00:02:10.925 --> 00:02:14.610
This is so much fun and we've been getting emails from our guys too.

00:02:14.610 --> 00:02:15.644
It lights us up.

00:02:15.644 --> 00:02:19.049
So this shout out is specifically for James, john and Curtis.

00:02:19.049 --> 00:02:29.167
You are our brothers and we love all three of you and the rest of you that are listening in as well that just haven't had the chance yet to write us an email, but listen, we want to hear from all our brothers.

00:02:29.167 --> 00:02:34.256
Email us at Anita at PowerOnPlantscom or at Jared at PowerOnPlantscom.

00:02:34.316 --> 00:02:35.379
He might like to get some emails too.

00:02:35.379 --> 00:02:38.390
Oh, I was about to say, or Jared at PowerOnPlantscom, I'm here too.

00:02:38.390 --> 00:02:40.508
Show the brothers some love.

00:02:40.907 --> 00:02:45.943
But it's so funny because I was talking to a friend of mine and she said Anita is like Beth Moore.

00:02:45.943 --> 00:02:56.225
She is a Christian author and a women's speaker and she goes on all these women's circuits to speak at conferences and things she said and I've never heard this before.

00:02:56.225 --> 00:03:02.770
But my friend told me Beth says to my sister, friends and a few brave men, and that just cracked me up.

00:03:02.770 --> 00:03:04.223
I thought, oh, that's so great.

00:03:04.223 --> 00:03:12.191
Except I want to change it because I think in our case, with our guys, it needs to be to my sister, friends and a few great men.

00:03:12.191 --> 00:03:16.251
After talking to our brothers who are listening, I just think they're great.

00:03:16.251 --> 00:03:20.122
I mean we just have such great listeners Our women, our men.

00:03:20.122 --> 00:03:23.591
This is a sisterhood and a brotherhood like no other.

00:03:23.591 --> 00:03:27.691
You are a part of the PowerOnPlants family and we love having you here.

00:03:27.691 --> 00:03:28.962
We love our fam.

00:03:28.962 --> 00:03:30.205
We love our fam.

00:03:30.205 --> 00:03:31.610
We do, we are like minded.

00:03:31.610 --> 00:03:44.504
This is such a great place to come together as believers and talk about how to make enjoying whole plant food sustainable so we can finally feel better and do all those things we want to do in life.

00:03:44.504 --> 00:03:50.623
Just like one of our brothers said, I think there are more men than you realize, listening to your podcast.

00:03:50.623 --> 00:03:52.710
But he said they just lurk and listen.

00:03:52.710 --> 00:03:54.044
I love that so much.

00:03:54.044 --> 00:03:57.034
That cracks me up because I thought you know that's probably true.

00:03:57.034 --> 00:03:59.025
But it's time to stop lurking and listening.

00:03:59.025 --> 00:04:00.526
It's time to make yourself known.

00:04:00.526 --> 00:04:05.746
So shoot us an email at jaredatpoweronplantscom, because we need to show Jared some love too.

00:04:05.746 --> 00:04:06.669
He's representing.

00:04:06.939 --> 00:04:08.164
Hey, listen, join the brotherhood.

00:04:08.164 --> 00:04:10.306
Come on, join the brotherhood.

00:04:10.306 --> 00:04:11.424
We're all family here.

00:04:12.822 --> 00:04:13.383
All right.

00:04:13.383 --> 00:04:16.110
So what are we talking about today?

00:04:16.110 --> 00:04:19.603
How to become a sauce boss, we mentioned in the intro.

00:04:19.603 --> 00:04:21.449
Why is this so important?

00:04:21.449 --> 00:04:27.166
It's important because your food's got to taste good and it's got to be fast, and one of the easiest ways to do that is a sauce.

00:04:27.166 --> 00:04:36.009
Think about before you are on your plant based journey or maybe you're just at the very beginning how did you make your food taste good?

00:04:36.009 --> 00:04:37.122
Hey, think about that.

00:04:37.122 --> 00:04:38.166
Spices.

00:04:38.487 --> 00:04:39.149
You flavored it.

00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:53.985
Spices, dressings, which are also sauces, mariners, which are sauces, stir fry sauces okay, so it's sauces or it's spices and herbs.

00:04:53.985 --> 00:04:58.944
You gotta start thinking outside the box, but you're still thinking the same stuff.

00:04:58.944 --> 00:05:03.762
It's just how do I make those same types of things in a new and improved way?

00:05:03.762 --> 00:05:06.120
We call that making.

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.721
What Recipe upgrades?

00:05:08.721 --> 00:05:11.882
If you said that, high five, long distance high five, you've got it.

00:05:12.475 --> 00:05:15.661
That's my long distance high five there, Just that's what we're all about.

00:05:15.954 --> 00:05:19.701
Okay, there's a lot of things we're all about, but this is a big one.

00:05:20.014 --> 00:05:21.180
You know, really, if you think about it.

00:05:21.180 --> 00:05:26.800
Marinade dressing these are all just very fancy words for sauce.

00:05:26.800 --> 00:05:28.620
It all breaks down to the sauce.

00:05:28.620 --> 00:05:30.922
Would you ever eat just meat by itself?

00:05:30.922 --> 00:05:38.463
No, you enhance the flavor by adding the marinades, adding the sauces, adding the barbecue sauce.

00:05:38.915 --> 00:05:46.040
Look, if somebody says to you what do you wanna have for dinner, are you gonna say a plain chicken breast or plain slab of steak on my plate?

00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:46.803
No, you're not.

00:05:46.975 --> 00:05:52.420
You're never gonna say that, I'm just really craving a boiled chicken breast or a boiled T-bone.

00:05:53.014 --> 00:05:53.778
Nothing on it.

00:05:53.778 --> 00:05:56.762
Nothing on it, just plain chicken breast.

00:05:56.762 --> 00:05:58.380
No, no, you're not.

00:05:58.380 --> 00:06:02.182
And if somebody brought you out of a restaurant, you'd look at them like they had four eyes.

00:06:02.182 --> 00:06:04.603
Like that, something was not quite right.

00:06:04.603 --> 00:06:07.303
So this is why sauces are so important.

00:06:07.303 --> 00:06:29.838
If you want to set yourself up for plant-based success, you've got to love the food you're eating, and nine times out of 10, if you're used to the standard American diet, you are going to need bold flavor, and that is not gonna happen by trying to translate that plain little side veggie dish that you forced your way through at the dinner table for years, and now you're trying to eat that same bland dish as a main meal.

00:06:29.838 --> 00:06:32.920
Forget about it, it's not happening.

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.161
That is not gonna work long-term.

00:06:35.161 --> 00:06:39.841
Listen, let's be real, cause we all love real and the day and age of social media.

00:06:39.841 --> 00:06:41.699
I've said this before raise your hand.

00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:47.355
If you love social, I can pretty much promise you that nine out of 10 of you do not have your hands raised.

00:06:47.394 --> 00:06:49.677
I'm looking, I don't see any out there, you don't see anything.

00:06:49.677 --> 00:06:51.358
It's a sea of nothing.

00:06:51.358 --> 00:06:52.040
I don't see it.

00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:52.562
No hands raised.

00:06:53.334 --> 00:06:58.543
Yeah, because there's so much fake, there's not much real out there, and we are about real and authentic.

00:06:58.543 --> 00:07:02.326
You want real flavor, you don't want bland stuff.

00:07:02.326 --> 00:07:03.517
There's too much fake.

00:07:03.517 --> 00:07:11.142
There's lack of hard and fluff out there that just does not end up really making an ounce of difference in what you're trying to accomplish in your life.

00:07:11.142 --> 00:07:13.000
But this is not about that.

00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:25.899
You're not gonna find long-term happiness in your life If you have to live from day to day forcing yourself to eat meals you've been told you have to do, in the name of health, that you don't really like.

00:07:25.899 --> 00:07:27.940
I want you to think about that.

00:07:27.940 --> 00:07:34.819
Have you ever tried to do that before, trying to make yourself enjoy foods or meals that you really didn't like?

00:07:34.819 --> 00:07:39.581
Because you just wanna lose a certain amount of pounds or you just wanna feel a little bit better?

00:07:39.581 --> 00:07:40.384
I get that.

00:07:40.384 --> 00:07:45.882
But we want you to eat more of the most nutrient, dense foods on the planet, and that's whole plant foods.

00:07:45.882 --> 00:07:49.103
In the way that will last.

00:07:49.103 --> 00:07:53.024
And for it to last, it has got to taste good.

00:07:53.024 --> 00:07:56.699
That's why we're always talking about finding your new favorites.

00:07:56.699 --> 00:07:58.144
Finding your new favorites.

00:07:58.144 --> 00:07:59.425
How many times have you heard us say that?

00:07:59.425 --> 00:08:04.545
How many times have you heard us say that you need a T-shirt that says find my new favorites.

00:08:04.545 --> 00:08:06.543
I cannot state this enough.

00:08:06.543 --> 00:08:20.043
You may think it's something so simple to put on your list, like my baked potato, that I love to put greens and black beans and salsa and corn and ranch dressing on, like my five minute ranch that's in the Power and Plants cookbook.

00:08:20.043 --> 00:08:24.182
I love putting that stuff on my potato and now it's really not a potato anymore.

00:08:24.182 --> 00:08:35.178
It's kind of like an upside down inside out salad or something like a patro, where you've got everything layered up but you've got potatoes on it, right, I mean, I could take that same meal, scrape it into a wrap and now I've got a sandwich.

00:08:35.178 --> 00:08:37.702
You can do so many things with plant based.

00:08:37.702 --> 00:08:49.918
I want you to think about how simple of a meal that is, but it's got a ton of nutrients in it because I've got my greens, I've got my legumes, I've got my potato in there, I've got some corn, I've got tomatoes.

00:08:49.918 --> 00:08:54.139
A lot of times, with the salsa or diced tomato, I put raw onion on it.

00:08:54.139 --> 00:08:55.922
I love raw onion and raw garlic.

00:08:55.922 --> 00:09:03.466
I'm putting cilantro and herbs and spices on there, and then I've got the nuts and the seeds from my dressing and the dill.

00:09:03.466 --> 00:09:04.538
I love so more herbs.

00:09:04.538 --> 00:09:07.700
So there's all these different things and you think, oh, that's just so simple.

00:09:07.700 --> 00:09:08.703
There's not that many nutrients.

00:09:08.703 --> 00:09:10.822
How am I gonna get my nutrients on plant based?

00:09:10.822 --> 00:09:12.301
And you come in and you're all worried.

00:09:12.301 --> 00:09:13.821
I just wanna know how to get my nutrients.

00:09:13.821 --> 00:09:15.822
I just wanna make sure I'm getting the nutrients I need.

00:09:15.822 --> 00:09:17.441
It's not that hard.

00:09:17.441 --> 00:09:33.484
It's really not that hard, apart from a couple of nutrients that almost everybody is deficient in, no matter how they eat, because of how the soil's treated, how the water's treated and we've talked about that on previous episodes and we'll show you how to do that inside our Plant Society or group coaching program.

00:09:33.484 --> 00:09:36.660
But you've gotta let these worries go, these things that we've got in our mindset.

00:09:36.660 --> 00:09:44.543
It's just not a concern if you're eating a wide variety of whole plant foods and the sauces help you to get your nutrients.

00:09:45.495 --> 00:09:47.062
And I think part of the key there.

00:09:47.062 --> 00:09:51.217
In a moment ago you were talking about the spices and the herbs.

00:09:51.217 --> 00:09:54.706
These are whole spices, whole herbs.

00:09:54.706 --> 00:09:58.653
These are not just extracted flavors or chemically manufactured flavors.

00:09:58.653 --> 00:10:01.899
That kind of tastes like this we're so used to that.

00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:07.113
We're so used to the fake, the inauthentic flavors that we've gotten just accustomed to it.

00:10:07.113 --> 00:10:14.774
But how much more is the flavor just gonna burst in your mouth when you have the full herbs, the full spices?

00:10:14.774 --> 00:10:16.969
But then you get all the health benefits.

00:10:16.969 --> 00:10:19.740
I mean, first thing that comes to mind is fresh ground black pepper.

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:23.495
It's known to have anti cancer, anti inflammatory properties.

00:10:23.495 --> 00:10:30.933
Ginger, it's known to if you're doing something like an Asian stir-fry or maybe some type of Asian sauce dressing.

00:10:30.933 --> 00:10:36.006
It's known to be antiviral, anti-bacterial, helps open up the airways.

00:10:36.006 --> 00:10:39.940
I just read something recently where it said ginger even helps with allergy symptoms.

00:10:39.940 --> 00:10:43.470
I mean, has all these additional benefits you can?

00:10:43.470 --> 00:11:10.427
I'm sorry it's the provider coming out in me, because I'm sitting here thinking if we were eating the way that we should be, like People did a few hundred years ago, before all these extracts, before all these chemical enhancers, we would be much healthier because we were getting these things on a regular basis, absolutely, but now we don't really get them at all because there's so many artificial flavorings out there that it has a flavor, but that's it, nothing else.

00:11:10.427 --> 00:11:12.952
It's an incomplete food.

00:11:13.460 --> 00:11:16.133
Obviously it's not a food at all, yeah, and then you eat it.

00:11:16.133 --> 00:11:17.600
You eat it and you're not satisfied.

00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:24.899
It doesn't really end up tasting that good, or it tastes good in the beginning, and then you just kind of feel bad afterwards Because of all the mess that came along with it.

00:11:24.899 --> 00:11:28.519
And then you pay the price, and none of us want to pay the price.

00:11:28.519 --> 00:11:30.799
But the funny thing is you don't know you're paying the price.

00:11:30.799 --> 00:11:35.539
Well you pay the price every single hour of every single day and you just feel like crap all the time.

00:11:36.121 --> 00:11:41.625
I was thinking that you don't know, because that's just your normal right, yeah this is how this.

00:11:41.625 --> 00:11:44.591
This is one of the times that we're after the new normal.

00:11:44.700 --> 00:11:53.620
Okay, because if the new normal is feeling great because I've gotten my body the nutrients that it needs and it actually tastes good, but afterwards I don't regret it forever.

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:57.248
But see, we hear people that have started eating whole food plant based.

00:11:57.248 --> 00:12:09.052
Or we work with our clients and get them to this place when they're feeling so much better and then they're all scared that because they've eaten whole food plant based, now They've gone out and had a meal, eaten, something with a lot of all preservatives, nasty stuff in it.

00:12:09.052 --> 00:12:11.049
They feel bad the next day and they're going.

00:12:11.049 --> 00:12:14.121
This whole food plant based eating ruined me Forever.

00:12:14.121 --> 00:12:18.772
Eating a quote normal meal out, it's like no, you know, it hasn't made you feel worse.

00:12:18.772 --> 00:12:19.293
They're scared.

00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:22.148
Well, it has made you feel worse, but it kind of has ruined you.

00:12:22.227 --> 00:12:27.491
For the inferior, though, Right, because now you know what it's like to feel good.

00:12:27.491 --> 00:12:28.414
That's what you're feeling.

00:12:28.414 --> 00:12:31.739
The difference is you never knew before, because you always just felt bad.

00:12:31.739 --> 00:12:36.534
But now you're starting to feel good and then you go back and eat those same old things.

00:12:36.534 --> 00:12:39.249
Your body's gonna tell you hey, cuz you?

00:12:39.249 --> 00:12:45.292
It always told you the same thing before, but it's just you just thought that was oh, that this is how I feel when I get older.

00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:47.787
I mean, I think I was thinking that exact same thing you.

00:12:47.787 --> 00:12:53.648
You just start to believe into the lie, especially if you start getting into your 40s and you think I'm just old.

00:12:53.648 --> 00:12:57.283
Listen, if you're in your 40s, you're not old.

00:12:57.283 --> 00:13:00.110
No listen now there were 52 in your 50s.

00:13:00.110 --> 00:13:01.905
50s is not old.

00:13:02.220 --> 00:13:02.721
Seriously.

00:13:02.721 --> 00:13:12.100
One of our members was just sharing with us how a member of her family had said to her and this was one of the Big things that stirred her up and made her start really thinking this is not right.

00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:29.386
Her family member said to her welcome to old age when she was talking about how she felt and she thought, look, I'm in my 40s and she sees a blue suns, maybe, and she sees Hundred year olds out having an active life, living with her family, going, traveling places, doing things together, and she's thinking I've got what?

00:13:29.386 --> 00:13:31.212
60 more years till I get there.

00:13:31.212 --> 00:13:37.072
And I already feel like this no, something's not right, something doesn't add up here, and you're right if you've thought that before.

00:13:37.072 --> 00:13:48.879
Something doesn't add up and the reason is your Body's not getting what it needs and it's getting bombarded on a daily basis with the things that it doesn't mean, the things that are setting it up for Failure, that are making it sick.

00:13:48.879 --> 00:14:01.477
So if it doesn't have the things it needs to get well, and it's constantly getting the things that are making it feel bad, they're causing the inflammation, that are causing the gut leakage, that are causing the breakdown of your systems.

00:14:01.477 --> 00:14:05.528
Over time, you're feeling more sluggish, you're stooped over more.

00:14:05.528 --> 00:14:09.899
Your energy is that you don't know what's happening.

00:14:09.899 --> 00:14:11.883
And this is it.

00:14:11.883 --> 00:14:12.485
I mean.

00:14:12.485 --> 00:14:15.952
It's like we're winding down in our 30s, 40s and 50s.

00:14:15.952 --> 00:14:18.811
That's insane, sister and brothers.

00:14:18.811 --> 00:14:23.908
Insane makes no sense at all to me, but in our society it does and they excuse it.

00:14:23.908 --> 00:14:36.580
And Actually the doctors are saying to their patients and this blows my mind is medical professional and a nursing professional it blows both of our minds doctors telling their patient it's just old age, it's just your genes.

00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:41.231
No-transcript, it's my genes, my genetics.

00:14:41.231 --> 00:14:43.152
I'm like well, I've got the same genetics here.

00:14:43.152 --> 00:14:44.369
What's going on?

00:14:44.369 --> 00:14:46.692
Your genes can be turned on and off by the food you eat.

00:14:46.692 --> 00:14:48.792
But my doctor told me it's the genetic kind.

00:14:48.792 --> 00:14:51.592
Well, you might want to get a new doctor.

00:14:51.592 --> 00:14:53.552
You know it might be time for a new doctor.

00:14:53.552 --> 00:14:59.272
Or maybe it is your genes, maybe you have some genes that make you more prone and more likely to have these things.

00:14:59.272 --> 00:15:03.648
But you can turn them on and off by the foods you eat and don't eat.

00:15:03.648 --> 00:15:10.272
This is what we know the water that you drink or don't drink, the vegetables that you get or don't get.

00:15:10.272 --> 00:15:11.115
This is so important.

00:15:11.115 --> 00:15:13.653
And these things can go into your sauces.

00:15:13.653 --> 00:15:15.110
You're getting more liquids.

00:15:15.110 --> 00:15:18.033
With the water, you're getting more of the herbs and spices.

00:15:18.033 --> 00:15:19.650
Please don't make plain sauces.

00:15:19.650 --> 00:15:27.370
And if you read a recipe that I or someone else wrote and it's got dill in it and you're like I won't dill an onion, by all means put the extra onion in there.

00:15:27.370 --> 00:15:30.553
Get as many nutrients as you can get into your life.

00:15:30.553 --> 00:15:32.631
Add the things that you like in there.

00:15:32.631 --> 00:15:34.471
Be willing to switch things around.

00:15:34.471 --> 00:15:36.649
Make the sauces creative, make them your own.

00:15:36.649 --> 00:15:42.870
But when I say a sauce, I don't want you to think like oh, hollandaise sauce that I need to talk about to get on our tofu scramble.

00:15:42.870 --> 00:15:44.089
You gotta do that.

00:15:44.089 --> 00:15:46.692
By the way, listen, it's in the Power On Plants Cookbook.

00:15:46.692 --> 00:15:48.732
I'm telling you it's a game changer.

00:15:48.732 --> 00:15:56.006
If you've ever tried tofu scramble and you think I hate that it stinks it will revolutionize your life as far as tofu scramble is concerned.

00:15:56.006 --> 00:16:03.515
To get the Hollandaise sauce onto your tofu scramble, it's like that buttery, eggy yoke that you're looking for.

00:16:03.515 --> 00:16:05.109
You're not gonna get that.

00:16:05.109 --> 00:16:09.089
Sprinkling some orange onto your tofu you know I've said that before.

00:16:09.089 --> 00:16:14.072
Sprinkle a little turmeric is not going to give you the flavor of eggs.

00:16:14.072 --> 00:16:15.129
I'm sorry, it's just not.

00:16:15.129 --> 00:16:16.230
That's never gonna work.

00:16:16.230 --> 00:16:18.011
And this is what happens in the plant-based space.

00:16:18.011 --> 00:16:26.111
You try these sauces or you try the foods without the sauces and you've tried recipe after recipe and you think, oh, this is plant-based.

00:16:26.111 --> 00:16:27.841
I can't do this, I'm gonna have to fall off the wagon.

00:16:27.841 --> 00:16:32.532
Quote fall off the wagon or slip or fail, because I've gotta have the foods I like.

00:16:32.532 --> 00:16:34.370
Well, you haven't found your new favorites.

00:16:34.370 --> 00:16:35.389
Nobody's shown you how.

00:16:35.389 --> 00:16:37.711
That is what we can help you do.

00:16:37.711 --> 00:16:48.210
This is what we special, this is our speciality, is what we do because you've got to learn how, if you like cheesy things, to have your cheese, everybody likes sauces.

00:16:48.210 --> 00:16:53.227
I've only met one person that told me and she was from another country, and that happened recently.

00:16:53.227 --> 00:17:00.450
And Ida really don't need sauces I never ate anything with sauces and she likes herbs and spices though, but she doesn't need sauces.

00:17:00.450 --> 00:17:01.433
That's fine.

00:17:01.433 --> 00:17:04.493
Then if it's not you and you don't need sauces, don't worry about it.

00:17:04.493 --> 00:17:08.550
Or try one and drizzle a little stuff on there and get your herbs and spices.

00:17:08.550 --> 00:17:14.392
That way, and your seasonings and flavors, you might find you actually do like sauces now that they don't have the nasty ingredients.

00:17:14.392 --> 00:17:17.592
You know it could be something new and new horizon you never tried before.

00:17:18.184 --> 00:17:20.231
She would become an herb boss then.

00:17:20.231 --> 00:17:25.332
Clearly, sauce is not a thing, so she's not gonna become a sauce boss, but she can become an herb boss.

00:17:25.424 --> 00:17:26.388
Or she tried sauces.

00:17:26.469 --> 00:17:30.670
she might like sauce Well she, might, she very well might, I would think.

00:17:30.670 --> 00:17:35.673
Maybe if she doesn't like sauce, she just hasn't tried them, or at least maybe hasn't tried very many of them.

00:17:35.865 --> 00:17:37.768
And I've just gotta say too, you know you think sauce.

00:17:37.768 --> 00:17:42.413
Maybe, like I said, maybe you're just thinking a creamy sauce like a Hollandaise, or dressings.

00:17:42.413 --> 00:17:44.573
You know, sometimes you don't think of dressings like sauces.

00:17:44.573 --> 00:17:45.226
What do you eat?

00:17:45.226 --> 00:17:46.411
Dressing on your salad?

00:17:46.411 --> 00:17:47.869
Well then, you like sauces.

00:17:47.869 --> 00:17:50.713
Do you like marinara on your pasta?

00:17:50.713 --> 00:17:53.509
Or do you like my Bolognese sauce that I have in the cookbook?

00:17:53.509 --> 00:17:57.270
It's the perfect replacement for the meaty sauces that you want on your pasta.

00:17:57.270 --> 00:18:00.473
We've got a Fettuccine Alfredo sauce in there.

00:18:00.473 --> 00:18:06.872
There's barbecue sauce, asian peanut sauce, rinse dressing, blue cheese dressing, catalina dressing, the Hollandaise sauce.

00:18:06.872 --> 00:18:09.032
I talked about nacho cheese sauce.

00:18:09.032 --> 00:18:14.634
Okay, cheese lovers, calling out your name here, you're my peeps, you're my sisters, you're my bros.

00:18:14.634 --> 00:18:18.015
Okay, you've got to have the nacho sauce.

00:18:18.015 --> 00:18:24.593
We love that and mayonnaise type things, and dressings and balsamic dressing and thousand island dressing.

00:18:24.593 --> 00:18:27.471
These are the sauces you're gonna find inside the Power On Plants cookbook.

00:18:27.471 --> 00:18:30.053
These are just some of the sauces we use on a regular basis.

00:18:30.053 --> 00:18:33.674
Our family is constantly putting a new sauce on set thing.

00:18:33.674 --> 00:18:36.875
Just for example, tonight we had french fries.

00:18:36.875 --> 00:18:41.192
We quickly cut with our mandolin, put them in the oven, no oil added.

00:18:41.192 --> 00:18:46.135
Those are so hard to find in the freezer section without oil, so these taste amazing.

00:18:46.175 --> 00:18:49.692
You just put them in the oven Very quick yeah put the seasoning she want.

00:18:49.825 --> 00:18:53.749
And then we had a ranch dressing and I thought it's kinda bland.

00:18:53.749 --> 00:18:55.054
I'll add a little miso to it.

00:18:55.054 --> 00:18:56.711
Man, I kinda wanted to taste like ketchup.

00:18:56.711 --> 00:18:59.512
Seriously, we put a little ketchup in the ranch.

00:18:59.512 --> 00:19:02.390
It was so good, it was unbelievable.

00:19:02.924 --> 00:19:04.550
But did you use a recipe for that?

00:19:05.125 --> 00:19:06.309
It's an unrecipe dude.

00:19:06.309 --> 00:19:07.528
We call those hashtag unrecipes.

00:19:07.548 --> 00:19:08.611
Just bruise them stuff together.

00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:10.375
Right, that's what we call those.

00:19:10.375 --> 00:19:12.010
They are unrecipes.

00:19:12.010 --> 00:19:15.990
You've got to be having those too, and these become your go-to favorites.

00:19:15.990 --> 00:19:17.349
So now, where do the unrecipes go?

00:19:17.349 --> 00:19:24.355
They need to go into your go-to favorites list so that you know how to spice up all your meals.

00:19:24.355 --> 00:19:28.092
So I want you to think about what are some of your current favorites.

00:19:28.092 --> 00:19:36.025
If you haven't gone plant-based yet, or if you're just transitioning, or if you've already gone plant-based, what were some of my favorites before that?

00:19:36.025 --> 00:19:37.672
I loved sauces on.

00:19:37.672 --> 00:19:41.576
For me, one of my things was baked potato.

00:19:41.576 --> 00:19:46.195
Now, you know that I love creamy dairy.

00:19:46.195 --> 00:19:49.290
I still eat creamy things on my baked potato.

00:19:49.290 --> 00:19:50.451
How do I do that?

00:19:50.451 --> 00:19:52.659
It's the sauces.

00:19:52.659 --> 00:19:55.625
It's the sauces in the cookbook the ranch dressing.

00:19:55.625 --> 00:19:57.308
I like the blue cheese dressing.

00:19:57.308 --> 00:20:02.728
Sometimes I like to put barbecue sauce and layer it up with our coleslaw and things like that.

00:20:02.728 --> 00:20:06.246
There is just so much you can do with the sauce.

00:20:06.246 --> 00:20:12.654
So you've got to think about what did you eat sauces on before and how are you gonna replace those?

00:20:12.654 --> 00:20:13.980
You're not gonna leave an empty hole.

00:20:13.980 --> 00:20:20.788
You're not gonna say, well, I can't have my little baked potato anymore because I like the butter and the sour cream and the cheese and the bacon.

00:20:20.788 --> 00:20:21.916
Join the crew.

00:20:21.916 --> 00:20:26.188
Been there years ago did that and that was my thing, that was my jam.

00:20:26.188 --> 00:20:30.005
But now you're going to find your new favorite way to eat a baked potato.

00:20:30.005 --> 00:20:37.825
You're not gonna say to yourself I'm not gonna eat baked potato or I can't have baked potatoes anymore, even though it's one of your favorite things.

00:20:37.825 --> 00:20:39.035
Because what does Jared always say?

00:20:39.356 --> 00:20:41.428
Don't say, I can't Say, how can I?

00:20:41.729 --> 00:20:42.775
Don't say I can't have it.

00:20:42.775 --> 00:20:45.585
Say how can I have it?

00:20:45.585 --> 00:20:46.307
So it's not.

00:20:46.307 --> 00:20:48.695
I can't have baked potatoes loaded now it's.

00:20:48.695 --> 00:20:55.875
How can I have loaded baked potatoes now and still really enjoy it in a way that's gonna love my body back?

00:20:56.416 --> 00:20:57.459
I just want to add something here.

00:20:57.459 --> 00:21:05.440
True story Yesterday was talking with a patient introducing the idea of whole food plant-based, and that very thing came up Baked potatoes.

00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.555
I can never eat my baked potato without butter and sour cream.

00:21:09.438 --> 00:21:12.085
Oh yes, you can, that's exactly what I told her.

00:21:12.105 --> 00:21:13.615
I say I do it all the time.

00:21:14.037 --> 00:21:17.494
And not only oh yes, she could, because in her mind she doesn't mean she couldn't do it.

00:21:17.494 --> 00:21:19.546
What she means is she couldn't enjoy it.

00:21:19.546 --> 00:21:20.994
She wouldn't enjoy it if she had to do it.

00:21:20.994 --> 00:21:23.423
She doesn't have any idea how she could still have it.

00:21:23.494 --> 00:21:26.782
I don't think she ever thought beyond sour cream and butter.

00:21:26.782 --> 00:21:29.307
So she never thought how can I do it?

00:21:29.307 --> 00:21:34.690
But then also too, the next step is but I enjoy it so much.

00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:38.461
And then I go and I explain Well, there are issues with that.

00:21:38.461 --> 00:21:42.595
So like casein found in dairy has that addictiveness to it.

00:21:42.595 --> 00:21:54.994
So then I have to explain that once you get past that wall and it's usually within a few weeks, maybe less, maybe more, but once you can get past that, then that's where you find that food freedom.

00:21:55.278 --> 00:21:57.278
Well, the casein is it doesn't have the hold on you, Right?

00:21:57.278 --> 00:21:59.174
The casein is there to keep bringing the baby-.

00:21:59.174 --> 00:22:06.108
The casein is in the dairy to keep bringing the baby calf back to the mother cow to help it grow large.

00:22:06.108 --> 00:22:10.026
That's the purpose is to help it grow into a cow.

00:22:10.026 --> 00:22:12.000
I'm not going to sugarcoat this.

00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:13.585
That's the purpose of milk.

00:22:13.955 --> 00:22:17.105
And what does it do to us when we consume it?

00:22:17.105 --> 00:22:21.844
Right, and so you've got to ask yourself that, Right we've got to ask ourselves these questions.

00:22:22.155 --> 00:22:31.654
But it's like Jared said this month on our monthly coaching call inside Power and Plants Community, our group coaching program, he started talking about something that was just so great.

00:22:31.654 --> 00:22:34.022
It's kind of one of those things he calls profound.

00:22:34.022 --> 00:22:34.684
What do you call it?

00:22:34.836 --> 00:22:35.734
Profound knowledge.

00:22:35.894 --> 00:22:36.897
Yeah, profound knowledge.

00:22:36.897 --> 00:22:45.260
It's the things that just seem so simple, but it's deep, yes but it's simple, but deep.

00:22:45.801 --> 00:22:51.470
But that shift in your perception changes the trajectory of your life.

00:22:51.875 --> 00:22:53.862
So take the baked potato, for example.

00:22:53.862 --> 00:22:54.604
This is what he said.

00:22:54.604 --> 00:22:58.925
There are so many different ways you can have just one thing.

00:22:58.925 --> 00:23:03.105
So I want you to start thinking about just one meal, like your loaded baked potato.

00:23:03.105 --> 00:23:10.169
There's so many ways you can load it, but all you knew was butter, sour cream cheese and bacon bits.

00:23:10.169 --> 00:23:22.098
But what if you could figure out a new sauce and another new sauce and another new sauce and a bunch of different toppings on top of that, and you had it this way and that way and that way and this way.

00:23:22.098 --> 00:23:26.257
Now you don't just have one way you like it, you have a bunch of different ways you like it.

00:23:26.257 --> 00:23:32.961
You might have a bunch of new favorites, and so how is that going to affect your nutrient intake?

00:23:32.961 --> 00:23:34.615
I want you to think about that for a minute.

00:23:34.615 --> 00:23:44.214
You're worried about your nutrients and getting your nutrients coming over in a whole food plant base, but you always ate the same thing the same way over and over again.

00:23:44.214 --> 00:23:46.457
Were you worried about your nutrient intake then?

00:23:46.457 --> 00:23:57.676
How many times last week or the week before, if you're still eating the standard American diet have you asked yourself am I getting the nutrients I need with this meat and the token side dish of veggies?

00:23:57.676 --> 00:23:58.874
I want you to think about that.

00:23:58.874 --> 00:24:08.807
You only start asking that, for some weird reason, when you start eating the most nutrient dense foods on the planet that got originally intended for our bodies to eat according to Genesis 129.

00:24:08.807 --> 00:24:11.759
So you've got to ask yourself why am I doing this?

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.196
Because the marketing has been just that good.

00:24:14.196 --> 00:24:15.994
Let that sink in for a minute.

00:24:15.994 --> 00:24:17.496
The marketing has been just that good.

00:24:17.496 --> 00:24:24.036
So you were in a rut where you were eating the same thing over and over again and you think you're going to be limited in your choices in plant-based.

00:24:24.036 --> 00:24:30.278
But what happens is there are so many plants that you haven't discovered or thought about putting together in this way or that way.

00:24:30.278 --> 00:24:51.458
And you get in a group, in a community where people are eating this way and they start showing you what they're eating and how they're eating it and what they're putting on it, and I cannot tell you I cannot even count the number of times that people say directly to me or Jared, or post inside the group coaching program community I never thought of that, I would have never thought to put that on that.

00:24:51.458 --> 00:24:53.919
I would have never thought to eat that that way.

00:24:53.919 --> 00:24:56.150
I would have never thought to add that topping to it.

00:24:56.150 --> 00:25:01.315
I never would have thought that, because we have those same things that we do in the same ways.

00:25:01.315 --> 00:25:11.558
But when you come into this way of eating, you can't think to yourself I'm just going to be eating that token side of cooked to death green beans and I'm going to eat some salad, just a little side salad.

00:25:11.558 --> 00:25:12.815
It's never going to work.

00:25:12.815 --> 00:25:14.195
Number one you're not going to like it.

00:25:14.195 --> 00:25:19.275
Number two it's not going to be satisfying because you're not going to have the stick to your ribs foods in there.

00:25:19.275 --> 00:25:24.138
Number three you're not going to have the flavors from the sauces and the herbs and spices.

00:25:24.138 --> 00:25:27.478
All you know is to cook that plain little side dish.

00:25:27.478 --> 00:25:29.876
Welcome to your new horizon.

00:25:29.876 --> 00:25:31.534
This is it.

00:25:31.534 --> 00:25:32.518
You have arrived.

00:25:32.518 --> 00:25:38.815
So what I want you to start doing, your goal is to find one new sauce this week that you absolutely love.

00:25:38.815 --> 00:25:45.818
If you don't know where to start, get your copy of the Power On Plants Cookbook at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:25:45.818 --> 00:25:52.695
We have the sauces that I've mentioned in there, and as you start finding your new favorites I want you to be building.

00:25:52.695 --> 00:25:58.896
I don't care if it's in a notebook, if it's in a computer program, wherever you need to keep it.

00:25:58.896 --> 00:26:06.634
I want you to start keeping your new go-to favorites list and you're going to have a section with sauces in there, because you're going to forget.

00:26:06.634 --> 00:26:10.672
I promise you as you go, you're going to find this sauce, you're going to love it.

00:26:10.672 --> 00:26:15.355
It's going to blow your mind, you're going to love to eat it on this thing and that thing, but you're going to forget the sauce.

00:26:15.355 --> 00:26:20.957
Not only are you going to forget the sauce and wish you could remember it, you're not going to remember what you ate it on either.

00:26:20.957 --> 00:26:23.116
So you need to put those key things in there.

00:26:23.116 --> 00:26:25.914
See, in your go-to favorites you don't have to have recipes.

00:26:25.914 --> 00:26:32.654
You can have what we call un-recipes, so you could have things like this sauce, which might be a recipe.

00:26:32.654 --> 00:26:41.517
So you just write that this sauce and then you put the different things under it that you ate on it on top of this, this, this or this, and it's just your idea bank.

00:26:41.517 --> 00:26:44.457
You are going to become a sauce boss, sister.

00:26:44.457 --> 00:26:45.701
That is your goal.

00:26:45.701 --> 00:27:00.498
Your mission this week is to find one new sauce and one new way you enjoy eating it, and then next week you're either going to find another new sauce if you didn't love that one, or you're going to find a new way to use that sauce and you just are going to keep going from there.

00:27:00.498 --> 00:27:05.876
So today we've talked about how Whole Food Plant Base has got to taste good or it's not going to be sustainable.

00:27:05.876 --> 00:27:08.439
I do not want you to be looking at this as a diet.

00:27:08.439 --> 00:27:10.454
This is a lifestyle.

00:27:10.454 --> 00:27:11.739
It's got to taste good.

00:27:11.739 --> 00:27:13.916
Two sauces are key.

00:27:13.916 --> 00:27:16.097
You've got to become a sauce boss.

00:27:16.097 --> 00:27:19.941
Sources help you to get more nutrients into your food.

00:27:19.941 --> 00:27:21.856
We talked about how that is the reality.

00:27:21.856 --> 00:27:27.396
They are such a speedy way to gain flavor too, not just nutrients, but that flavor.

00:27:27.396 --> 00:27:28.380
Quick, easy.

00:27:28.380 --> 00:27:31.051
A couple of ingredients in a blender, press, start.

00:27:31.051 --> 00:27:38.550
It's done in under two minutes I'm talking into the blender, to your table two minutes or less.

00:27:38.550 --> 00:27:44.137
Or it's going into your container and into your purse, because you know, we hashtag purse sauce around here.

00:27:44.137 --> 00:27:47.636
Guys, I don't know what you're going to do because that is not going to fit into your billfold.

00:27:47.636 --> 00:27:51.356
If you've got a wife or a girlfriend, she's going to be purse sauce and that's all I know.

00:27:51.650 --> 00:27:53.057
Maybe it'll be your backpack sauce.

00:27:53.057 --> 00:27:55.178
Maybe it'll be your backpack sauce.

00:27:55.178 --> 00:27:58.857
Or your satchel sauce, or briefcase sauce, whatever.

00:27:59.178 --> 00:28:00.981
I love it, satchel sauce, just get creative.

00:28:00.981 --> 00:28:04.219
Okay, there are so many varieties of sauces.

00:28:04.219 --> 00:28:06.538
We do not want you to limit yourself here.

00:28:06.538 --> 00:28:08.757
What other sauces are you going to have on that?

00:28:08.757 --> 00:28:10.758
Yeah, you can find a sour cream replacement.

00:28:10.758 --> 00:28:12.797
It's not hard to make that whole food plant base.

00:28:12.797 --> 00:28:14.715
But branch out.

00:28:14.715 --> 00:28:18.640
You're about to go from boring to fantastical.

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:20.675
From boring to fantastical.

00:28:20.675 --> 00:28:23.578
That is what Power On Plants lifestyle is all about.

00:28:23.578 --> 00:28:29.718
Then the last point is you've got to get those sauces into your go-to favorites list.

00:28:29.718 --> 00:28:40.134
Then I want you to shoot me an email at Anita at PowerOnPlantscom and let me know the one sauce that you tried this week that you absolutely loved, and I want to know how you used it so we can celebrate together.

00:28:40.134 --> 00:28:44.598
We want every one of you to know we have a loved hanging out with you today on Power On Plant.

00:28:44.598 --> 00:28:48.778
Go, discover your favorite sauces and we'll look forward to hearing from you very soon.

00:28:48.778 --> 00:29:16.820
Music you.
