QI NOAA, queen Noa, qi NOAA you don't have to know how to pronounce it to learn to love it.
00:00:09.550 --> 00:00:11.939
Today we're talking about quinoa.
00:00:11.939 --> 00:00:15.960
Hey sister, welcome to the Power On Plants podcast.
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:21.431
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:00:21.431 --> 00:00:26.832
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:00:26.832 --> 00:00:32.979
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:00:32.979 --> 00:00:35.593
Hi, we're Chered and we need to resell Christ.
00:00:35.593 --> 00:00:40.771
Followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:00:40.771 --> 00:00:52.990
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.
00:00:52.990 --> 00:01:00.000
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.960
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:01:03.960 --> 00:01:05.585
You just need the way.
00:01:05.585 --> 00:01:09.000
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:17.000
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.
00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.692
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:01:24.631 --> 00:01:26.000
I was about to be seriously impressed.
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:30.932
I thought maybe you were speaking Cherokee or you had something I didn't know about there.
00:01:31.667 --> 00:01:33.942
You liked that intro, did you yes?
00:01:33.962 --> 00:01:35.548
I didn't know where you were going with it.
00:01:35.548 --> 00:01:38.980
At first I thought, dang, she knows a language I didn't even know about.
00:01:40.063 --> 00:01:49.000
Yeah, you almost feel like you're speaking a foreign language sometimes when you come into plant based eating and you have all these different things you do not know how to pronounce and you're thinking what in the world?
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:55.000
And so for a long time maybe you just don't try it because it feels foreign and that makes it feel difficult.
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.474
You get confused.
00:01:56.474 --> 00:01:56.938
You don't know.
00:01:56.938 --> 00:01:59.959
I don't even know how to say this, much less where to buy it, how to prepare it.
00:01:59.959 --> 00:02:02.000
So today we're breaking it down.
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.000
We're going to teach you how simple quinoa is.
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.847
Now maybe you've been eating plant based for a while and you're thinking I already know what it is, I've tried it.
00:02:09.847 --> 00:02:12.829
I'm pretty sure you're going to glean something new today too.
00:02:12.829 --> 00:02:14.752
So hang with us.
00:02:14.752 --> 00:02:18.939
The first thing we want to talk about is what in the world is quinoa?
00:02:18.939 --> 00:02:19.901
Now?
00:02:19.901 --> 00:02:27.000
Maybe you eat gluten free and you feel like your life is limited because there aren't many things that are gluten free.
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.979
Quinoa is one of those beautiful things that needs to get into your life.
00:02:30.979 --> 00:02:34.000
It's a wonderful thing that we think of as a grain.
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:41.848
We often list it as a grain because it can fill the place of rice, so think about the different places you use rice in your life.
00:02:41.848 --> 00:02:48.037
We're going to talk about some ways to use quinoa that are very creative so that you can start getting more of it on your plate.
00:02:48.037 --> 00:02:48.979
Why should you?
00:02:48.979 --> 00:02:51.688
Number one if you eat gluten free, it is gluten free.
00:02:51.688 --> 00:02:54.979
Number two, it is like one of the easiest things in the world to prepare.
00:02:54.979 --> 00:03:01.006
You won't believe how quick and easy the hardest part is waiting for it to get done, and really it's just.
00:03:01.006 --> 00:03:02.751
The pre prep is simple.
00:03:02.751 --> 00:03:11.651
It takes minutes, literally minutes, to get it in the pot cooking and waiting for it to cook so you can fluff it with a fork.
00:03:11.651 --> 00:03:12.960
That's the hardest part.
00:03:13.420 --> 00:03:15.628
It is a definition of quick and simple.
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:17.837
It just doesn't get any faster or easier than this.
00:03:17.837 --> 00:03:18.703
No.
00:03:18.703 --> 00:03:21.979
And now, today, there's no excuse, because you can find it most anywhere.
00:03:21.979 --> 00:03:24.000
You can order it online, get it right to your door.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:25.485
You can find it in your local stores.
00:03:25.485 --> 00:03:27.899
I honestly think Walmart carries it.
00:03:27.899 --> 00:03:34.915
Now, this isn't a Walmart plug at all, don't even think it's that, but I'm just saying that's how readily available it is.
00:03:34.915 --> 00:03:36.000
In most places you can find it.
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:39.778
So what is it if it's not a grain?
00:03:39.778 --> 00:03:40.000
What is it?
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:42.939
Well, it comes from a flowering plant.
00:03:43.602 --> 00:03:44.967
It's in the Amaranth family.
00:03:45.181 --> 00:03:46.252
Right, and it's a seed.
00:03:46.252 --> 00:03:47.768
It's a seed, so you're getting.
00:03:47.768 --> 00:03:49.000
We know that seeds are healthy for us.
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.971
I don't still think we know everything that's in every plant.
00:03:52.971 --> 00:03:55.960
I mean, there's so many things that we have discovered Tens of thousands.
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:02.000
Oh yeah, scientists have discovered tens of thousands of phytonutrients, which are plant nutrients.
00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.000
They're just nutrients that are found only in plants, and they still haven't even named them yet.
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:12.532
So we can't even begin to think all the great stuff that's waiting inside this tiny power packed seed.
00:04:12.532 --> 00:04:20.656
But we know it's healthy, we know it has fiber, we know that it has within it, as a seed, the ability to give life.
00:04:20.656 --> 00:04:22.000
That's what seeds do.
00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:26.947
They have the nutrients that are in there that produce life, and we are kingdom minded people.
00:04:26.947 --> 00:04:30.000
We want life in our life, so eat the seeds.
00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:31.887
Seeds are great for you.
00:04:31.887 --> 00:04:33.995
Keenwa is one of those.
00:04:33.995 --> 00:04:36.485
Now, you may get confused.
00:04:36.485 --> 00:04:41.026
When you start looking, the first thing you're gonna say is well, there's so many different kinds.
00:04:41.026 --> 00:04:45.925
There's white, there's red and there's black, and then there's tricolor, where they mix them all.
00:04:45.925 --> 00:04:47.384
What should I eat?
00:04:47.384 --> 00:04:49.865
Yes, yes, you should.
00:04:49.865 --> 00:04:50.648
All of them.
00:04:50.648 --> 00:04:52.766
All right, all of them.
00:04:52.766 --> 00:04:54.466
Why eat just one?
00:04:54.466 --> 00:05:00.384
Why, by white, try it and then say oh well, I just got the white first time and now I know how to make it, so I'm just gonna get white.
00:05:00.384 --> 00:05:08.327
No, get them all, because the color tells you a lot about the nutrients in the food, so that we know because it has different colors.
00:05:08.327 --> 00:05:13.048
It may have the same base nutrients because it comes from that same plant family.
00:05:13.048 --> 00:05:14.343
You've got to understand that.
00:05:14.343 --> 00:05:17.249
The colors are giving you a clue about the nutrients that are inside.
00:05:17.249 --> 00:05:22.329
So we know that the blacks and the purples and things are so good with the anthocyanins in there.
00:05:22.329 --> 00:05:23.362
They're great for us.
00:05:23.362 --> 00:05:24.547
So get the black quinoa.
00:05:24.547 --> 00:05:27.026
But we know that reds are really good for us too.
00:05:27.026 --> 00:05:31.627
Eat the reds, eat the whites, eat the tricolor, so that you're getting all.
00:05:31.627 --> 00:05:34.809
Just enjoy them in abundance.
00:05:34.809 --> 00:05:36.365
Okay, just enjoy them in abundance.
00:05:36.365 --> 00:05:40.545
Maybe you're eating a lot of rice, even if it's whole grain brown rice.
00:05:40.545 --> 00:05:44.867
That can be not good for you, specifically depending on where you're getting your rice.
00:05:44.867 --> 00:05:52.588
We won't go into the details about rice, but you can get some things that are not great in rice, especially if you're eating large quantities of it.
00:05:52.588 --> 00:05:59.569
So this is a wonderful time to branch out, to spread out, because too much of a good thing can be a not so good thing.
00:05:59.569 --> 00:06:03.290
So get quinoa in the place of where you're eating rice.
00:06:03.540 --> 00:06:07.406
And the different plants have different nutrients in them, so you want to get a good variety.
00:06:07.406 --> 00:06:09.166
But there may be a certain dish that you love.
00:06:09.166 --> 00:06:11.026
Maybe you're kind of stuck on it with rice.
00:06:11.026 --> 00:06:13.288
Well, this is a great way to make a substitution.
00:06:13.620 --> 00:06:16.309
Right, and you always want to keep it exciting.
00:06:16.309 --> 00:06:19.468
I want you to keep plant-based living exciting.
00:06:19.468 --> 00:06:35.168
We've talked about this before, you're gonna hear it again, and we have some things coming down the road that are wrapped around this concept, the thing I'm about to share with you right now Most people eat nine meals, nine main meals, throughout the year and they rotate through those same nine meals every month.
00:06:35.168 --> 00:06:37.949
They might have it twice in one week and once the next.
00:06:37.949 --> 00:06:46.247
They might not have it the next and then they'll have it a couple more times, but they rotate and mix up in some way those same nine main meals and they worry that plant-based is gonna be limiting.
00:06:46.247 --> 00:06:47.584
Think about that for a minute.
00:06:47.584 --> 00:06:48.723
Wrap your mind around that.
00:06:48.723 --> 00:06:50.764
We've talked about this before.
00:06:50.764 --> 00:07:02.286
I won't go into it, but just in the five different areas of whole plant feeds, rinse and veggies, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and herbs and spices and all those different areas herbs and spices are always my bonus right?
00:07:02.286 --> 00:07:07.084
You get into those areas and you start eating down into those areas, into those different categories.
00:07:07.084 --> 00:07:12.689
There's so many different things to try and quinoa is one, I think, that a lot of times is overlooked.
00:07:12.689 --> 00:07:28.728
Or we put it in with the other grains and, while you can use it in place of other grains, you're really getting a seed, and we know that they are power packed and filled with nutrients that your body needs that you're probably not getting on a regular basis Now grains are seeds, but why is this not a grain?
00:07:29.180 --> 00:07:31.649
Because the grain actually comes from grasses.
00:07:31.649 --> 00:07:41.468
So you've got your rice, your corn, all those, those are actually as plants, those are, quote unquote, grasses, whereas this is from not a grass a flowering plant.
00:07:41.468 --> 00:07:46.548
Yes, but a moment ago you were talking about having the nine different recipes that we rotate through.
00:07:46.548 --> 00:07:51.925
Well, we're creatures of habit, we like the things that we like and then we just kind of get in that habit.
00:07:51.925 --> 00:07:57.803
But this is why I say you don't have to master 400 different recipes to get a plant-based.
00:07:57.803 --> 00:07:59.624
Get those few favorites.
00:07:59.624 --> 00:08:04.562
You'll get in a rotation and then, as you get tired of one, find a new one.
00:08:04.562 --> 00:08:13.425
Now, as we always say, write this down so that you don't forget about them, because six months from now you may wanna go back and you've kind of forgotten so write down your favorites.
00:08:13.800 --> 00:08:15.307
It happens you will forget.
00:08:15.307 --> 00:08:16.444
You think I'll never forget this.
00:08:16.444 --> 00:08:16.904
I love it.
00:08:16.904 --> 00:08:17.648
It tastes so good.
00:08:17.648 --> 00:08:20.026
As you find your new favorites, write them down.
00:08:20.026 --> 00:08:20.928
Keep that running list.
00:08:20.928 --> 00:08:23.427
You're gonna pound this home all the time.
00:08:23.427 --> 00:08:24.108
You're gonna hear it.
00:08:24.108 --> 00:08:30.365
Finding your new favorites is where it's at, because people can't stick with plant-based because they don't know how to make it joyful.
00:08:30.365 --> 00:08:33.065
Well, you can't make it joyful if you don't have your new favorites.
00:08:33.065 --> 00:08:40.647
So you've got to find those new favorites to replace that whole that you've made when you've removed these other things that you know are toxic to your health.
00:08:40.647 --> 00:08:42.525
Now, what are you gonna eat instead?
00:08:42.525 --> 00:08:45.666
It's like Jared says it's not, I can't have it.
00:08:45.666 --> 00:08:46.909
It's, how can I have?
00:08:46.990 --> 00:08:47.610
it how can I?
00:08:48.144 --> 00:08:49.139
All right, so I can't have tacos.
00:08:49.139 --> 00:08:50.124
Well, how can I have them?
00:08:50.124 --> 00:08:54.407
Well, I could put some beans in there and I could put some quinoa in there to bulk it up.
00:08:54.407 --> 00:08:56.908
I could put quinoa in my tacos and my burritos.
00:08:56.908 --> 00:08:58.974
How else could I eat my quinoa?
00:08:58.974 --> 00:09:03.844
I could sprinkle it on my salad to make it more stick to my ribs.
00:09:03.844 --> 00:09:05.566
I had a salad just yesterday.
00:09:05.566 --> 00:09:07.586
It was such a good salad.
00:09:07.586 --> 00:09:11.764
You know, if you don't like salad, you're just bored with the same old salad you've been eating forever.
00:09:11.764 --> 00:09:14.769
You need to branch out and get some new ingredients on there.
00:09:14.769 --> 00:09:15.985
Do you put fruit on your salad?
00:09:15.985 --> 00:09:17.465
Do you put beans on your salad?
00:09:17.465 --> 00:09:20.649
Do you put quinoa grains and seeds on your salad?
00:09:20.649 --> 00:09:25.071
Nuts, make it different, make it special.
00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.647
New flavors, new textures, new sauces.
00:09:28.820 --> 00:09:31.149
Go back and listen to our Sauce Boss episode.
00:09:31.149 --> 00:09:32.546
Become a Sauce Boss.
00:09:32.546 --> 00:09:35.445
That can change everything, and that's true for quinoa.
00:09:35.445 --> 00:09:44.630
You can take quinoa, put it in a bowl, add some steamed veggies or stir fry and add our Asian nut sauce from the Power and Plants Cookbook and you are set.
00:09:44.630 --> 00:09:47.509
You have an amazing meal that you can enjoy.
00:09:47.509 --> 00:09:58.607
Or you can take those grains and add some steamed veggies and I always mix in some raw as well, because I just love that and sometimes the raw has those enzymes that release the nutrients in your cooked food.
00:09:58.607 --> 00:10:09.087
There's a tip for you, and so you make this bowl and now you've got the space of quinoa and maybe some beans in there and those steamed veggies, and then you get a different sauce.
00:10:09.087 --> 00:10:22.903
You don't put the Asian nut sauce, maybe you drizzle balsamic vinegar or we talk about the vinegar and mustard that you can mix and make a dressing and some raw garlic in there to fight cancer and fight the inflammation and diseases and things like that.
00:10:22.903 --> 00:10:24.725
We just talked about garlic recently.
00:10:24.725 --> 00:10:27.307
You gotta go back and listen to that episode If you missed it.
00:10:27.307 --> 00:10:29.025
It is a winner.
00:10:29.025 --> 00:10:35.606
We've gotten so much good feedback on that one, but this is a great place to drop some garlic in, mix it in with your quinoa.
00:10:35.606 --> 00:10:36.924
Flavor those grains.
00:10:36.924 --> 00:10:44.945
Why are you leaving your grains bland tasting and then thinking I don't like that, you haven't put any flavor on it.
00:10:44.945 --> 00:10:50.346
You're not gonna go eat a plain old steak or a plain old piece of chicken and say, oh, I don't like steak or chicken.
00:10:50.346 --> 00:10:52.067
No, you're gonna put poor bottles.
00:10:52.067 --> 00:10:57.048
You're gonna pour bottles of sauces on that thing Marinade sauces, dressing.
00:10:57.067 --> 00:10:57.188
Spices.
00:10:57.288 --> 00:10:58.051
Spices.
00:10:58.051 --> 00:10:59.363
That's a great point.
00:10:59.363 --> 00:11:04.565
So flavor that we call it a grain, but flavor that seed.
