00:00:00.541 --> 00:00:01.342
Hey there, sunshine.

00:00:01.342 --> 00:00:05.171
Do you find yourself needing some plant based inspiration?

00:00:05.171 --> 00:00:08.608
I'm talking about what do I eat in a day?

00:00:08.608 --> 00:00:10.987
Maybe you're brand new to this and you don't know where to start.

00:00:10.987 --> 00:00:19.269
Or perhaps you've been eating plant based for a while and you're just stuck in a rut, eating the same thing day after day after day.

00:00:19.269 --> 00:00:26.500
That does not have to be, and so today, chair Nyer sharing with you what we eat in a day as plant based health professionals.

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.245
That lights us up.

00:00:28.245 --> 00:00:32.069
Hey sister, welcome to the power on plants podcast.

00:00:32.069 --> 00:00:37.432
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:37.432 --> 00:00:42.832
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:42.832 --> 00:00:49.093
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:49.093 --> 00:00:52.027
Hi, we're chair and you need to resell Christ followers.

00:00:52.027 --> 00:00:56.750
Health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:56.750 --> 00:01:08.987
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.

00:01:08.987 --> 00:01:16.203
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant based living.

00:01:16.203 --> 00:01:19.989
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:19.989 --> 00:01:25.150
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:33.409
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.

00:01:33.409 --> 00:01:38.689
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:38.689 --> 00:01:57.572
Our hearts are thrilled to welcome you to the power on plants family, and today's a great time to join us because, even if you're just a little bit interested in this plant based thing, this is going to give you some ideas about how to get started and hopefully expand your mindset so that you can start seeing hey, this isn't boring.

00:01:57.572 --> 00:02:04.504
Hey, I can have some really tasty things that are quick, simple and delicious to make, because that is the key.

00:02:04.504 --> 00:02:05.769
That's the key.

00:02:05.769 --> 00:02:08.427
This is what we see is missing all the time.

00:02:08.427 --> 00:02:11.990
We don't know how to get our mindset right around foods and what we need to eat.

00:02:11.990 --> 00:02:14.185
We don't know how to get the stinkin thinking out.

00:02:14.185 --> 00:02:22.042
And then we've got to get our environment right the people, places and things that are surrounding us on a regular basis, and that includes the food we eat.

00:02:22.042 --> 00:02:29.627
By listening to this episode and getting some ideas of what did you need to eat in a regular day, and these are just some of the things that we're enjoying.

00:02:29.627 --> 00:02:29.907
Now.

00:02:29.907 --> 00:02:31.686
We kind of cycle through things.

00:02:31.686 --> 00:02:36.991
We have our go to favorites that we go back to time and time again because we're keeping our list.

00:02:36.991 --> 00:02:45.591
If you haven't been around here long, go back and listen to the 265 plus episodes that are waiting for you, because we talk over and over again about getting this list going.

00:02:45.591 --> 00:02:50.610
This is going to be huge for you and making plant based sustainable and making it stick.

00:02:50.610 --> 00:02:55.431
But you've got to have some idea of where to start, what to make, what recipes to cook.

00:02:55.431 --> 00:02:59.090
Get the Power On Plants Cookbook at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:02:59.090 --> 00:03:01.427
That's poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:03:01.427 --> 00:03:03.929
You need to have those basic recipes.

00:03:03.929 --> 00:03:06.389
But then what do you make that are un-recipes?

00:03:06.389 --> 00:03:08.487
We're going to be talking about some of both today.

00:03:08.487 --> 00:03:14.967
D'you and I are big on having those basic, tried and true recipes that are so simple, quick and easy to get on your plate.

00:03:14.967 --> 00:03:20.862
But it's also super important for you to know what do I make when I don't even have time to cook.

00:03:20.862 --> 00:03:27.486
These are the things you can just throw together those un-recipes, those food formulas, this plus this plus this equals this.

00:03:27.486 --> 00:03:35.568
We're going to be sharing some of those with you today too, and then you can start filling your pantry with the good stuff, that's, the things in the environment category.

00:03:35.568 --> 00:03:40.387
This is going to give you some ideas of how to start doing that, and then you've got to know how to make it quick, simple and delicious.

00:03:40.387 --> 00:03:44.430
Everything we're sharing with you today falls under those three categories.

00:03:44.430 --> 00:03:46.987
So let's get started with breakfast.

00:03:46.987 --> 00:03:55.907
Now we cannot get started without first talking about the fact that someone has defined breakfast feeds, lunch and dinner feeds for us.

00:03:55.907 --> 00:04:00.009
I don't know where or when that happened, but don't let someone define that for you.

00:04:00.009 --> 00:04:04.229
Sometimes it's fun and we think about mixing things up and we'll serve breakfast for dinner.

00:04:04.229 --> 00:04:07.948
Why aren't we enjoying dinner and lunch items more for breakfast?

00:04:07.948 --> 00:04:09.211
Maybe you do that.

00:04:09.211 --> 00:04:13.289
You know some of you, I see, pulling out leftovers from dinner and having it for breakfast.

00:04:13.289 --> 00:04:21.310
If you're doing that, get inside pie our amazing community of podcast listeners at powerandplantscom forward, slash pie and share your picture.

00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:24.790
Just take a quick pick of what you're eating as a leftover for breakfast.

00:04:24.790 --> 00:04:27.810
I know some of you are probably doing that, but I also know that many of you aren't.

00:04:27.810 --> 00:04:36.588
So wrap your mind around this idea of how can I get those main meals into my breakfast time as well, and I'm going to tell you one way that I do that, as we share.

00:04:36.588 --> 00:04:40.470
So this isn't by any means what we eat every day.

00:04:40.470 --> 00:04:42.466
This is idea time.

00:04:42.466 --> 00:04:50.651
This is the session where we're sitting down and sharing with you, heart to heart, the real life things that right now are on our plate, a lot that light us up.

00:04:50.651 --> 00:04:53.548
This isn't everything we've eaten in the last 30 days.

00:04:53.548 --> 00:04:55.987
I can possibly remember all those things.

00:04:55.987 --> 00:05:10.512
There are so many different things that we eat and it's so funny because we were just with our community members and we were laughing about how restrictive this is all of us because once you get on board with it and you start building those favorites, it doesn't become restrictive.

00:05:10.512 --> 00:05:11.625
The sky's the limit.

00:05:11.625 --> 00:05:14.507
You realize you were actually living restricted before.

00:05:14.507 --> 00:05:28.822
I mean, there's only so much that you can do with meat and cheese and I know it's crazy to hear the Dairy Queen saying that the previous Dairy Queen because I was addicted to dairy cheese, sour cream, yogurt, you name it.

00:05:28.822 --> 00:05:29.745
I was addicted to it.

00:05:29.745 --> 00:05:32.889
Have you all heard this story about when Jared checked out at the supermarket.

00:05:32.889 --> 00:05:34.124
That is so hilarious.

00:05:34.124 --> 00:05:43.471
One day he went to the supermarket and the cashier had noticed and made some comment about how much dairy was on her conveyor belt, just with our order.

00:05:44.201 --> 00:05:48.649
Milk cheese, sour cream, butter, and there's probably some other stuff in there too.

00:05:48.649 --> 00:05:50.372
It was a lot, it was quite a bit.

00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:54.670
And he said he looked at her and he said I know it'd be cheaper if we just bought a cow.

00:05:54.670 --> 00:06:04.326
That's how addicted to dairy I was and everything I cooked as the major one cooking in the household was full of it and I won't go into all the problems that that caused.

00:06:04.326 --> 00:06:05.310
There were a lot of problems.

00:06:05.310 --> 00:06:16.591
I can listen to episode one about what all I was dealing with with my health and what we dealt with as a couple and it's just amazing how free you can get when you've got the right foods on your plate.

00:06:16.591 --> 00:06:19.427
But you want to make it diverse.

00:06:19.427 --> 00:06:31.206
You think eating dairy and cheese, putting that on everything, makes it diverse, or always having that meat and that little side token vegetable, and it just is not going to give you the help that you want.

00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:42.985
Now we'll say I'm sure you could find an absolute bazillion recipes out there that utilize meat, chicken, cheese, butter, all that stuff, but butter is still just butter.

00:06:42.985 --> 00:06:48.831
Now maybe you have cow butter and goat milk butter, but butter is still butter.

00:06:48.831 --> 00:07:02.689
But when you look at beans, I mean there's thousands of different beans in the world and they're all different, slightly different nutrient profiles, different textures, flavors, and you're just under one category of the games, one category, exactly that's what we say.

00:07:02.689 --> 00:07:03.490
That's just one category of legumes.

00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.387
There's peas and there's lentils under legumes as well.

00:07:06.387 --> 00:07:18.271
So you're talking about just one category of a category, like one subcategory, and you go and you say there's this kind of beans and this kind of beans and that kind of beans and this kind of peas and that kind of peas and this kind of legumes and that kind of legumes.

00:07:18.271 --> 00:07:19.435
Listen, I'm getting tongue-tied.

00:07:19.456 --> 00:07:23.910
There's so many options here, and we're not even looking at the five power foods.

00:07:23.949 --> 00:07:36.225
Yet we're not talking about fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds and legumes, plus herbs and spices that you can add, and you start learning all those different things and trying something new and making all these combos of un-recipes.

00:07:36.225 --> 00:07:44.548
I have it never in my life eaten such variety, and every month we're eating something new, not because we feel like we have to, but because we love it.

00:07:44.567 --> 00:07:44.889
We want to.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:52.483
We know how to do all these different things and, again, that's why it's so important to keep your go-to favorites list, because you don't want to forget them as you go.

00:07:52.483 --> 00:07:53.867
So let's talk about breakfast.

00:07:54.067 --> 00:07:54.329
Okay.

00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:56.786
What are some of your favorite breakfast things right now?

00:07:56.786 --> 00:08:00.209
This is not by any means what all we have on our go-to favorites list.

00:08:00.209 --> 00:08:01.779
We're just going to share a couple of things Now.

00:08:01.779 --> 00:08:06.966
Normally, if you watch a what we eat in a day, you might see one day's worth of things that you eat.

00:08:06.966 --> 00:08:08.634
You know we're not going to do that.

00:08:08.634 --> 00:08:11.141
We've got to share more than one thing in each category.

00:08:11.141 --> 00:08:19.944
So we're just going to drop a couple of things for you and give you some ideas, because maybe there's one thing Jared mentions that you wouldn't like, but maybe there are three we mentioned that you would.

00:08:19.944 --> 00:08:25.057
Or maybe there's just one in this whole thing that you think, yeah, maybe that one I could try it.

00:08:25.057 --> 00:08:26.500
Try it, that's your one.

00:08:26.500 --> 00:08:29.185
Take the one, because it only takes one thing.

00:08:29.185 --> 00:08:40.230
And the next thing and the next thing and before you know it, you're getting inspired, your taste buds are changing, you're breaking free from those foods that had held you back in your health struggles for so very long.

00:08:40.691 --> 00:08:42.634
So you want me to tell about breakfast.

00:08:43.277 --> 00:08:44.700
Do you want to tell about breakfast?

00:08:45.140 --> 00:08:49.230
Well, if I tell what I make, it might be short.

00:08:49.230 --> 00:08:58.052
It might be a slightly short list just because I typically get up before everybody else in the house whenever I'm working and seeing patients, so I'll make my go to favorites oats.

00:08:58.052 --> 00:09:00.196
Now I have branched out a little bit.

00:09:00.196 --> 00:09:08.086
Historically it has been my chocolate oats with blueberries, or if we get a mixed berry where it has blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, that kind of stuff.

00:09:08.086 --> 00:09:10.936
I've done that, so that kind of mixes up the flavor a little bit.

00:09:10.936 --> 00:09:17.250
But our daughter, madeline, has come up with her own version of oats that uses strawberry and mango.

00:09:17.250 --> 00:09:21.355
It doesn't have any cacao powder in it and I kind of rotate between the two.

00:09:21.355 --> 00:09:30.210
I'll do the chocolate one but then I'll do hers, which does involve making plant milk which we talked about how is so super easy.

00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:38.144
But until this I've so rarely done it that I can now say, oh my goodness, this is so easy, I don't even need a recipe anymore.

00:09:38.144 --> 00:09:43.113
It's a pinch of this, a couple of that blended for a minute, and then you've got the nut milk.

00:09:43.113 --> 00:09:51.729
So I'll put that in there, put that on the oats, put a little bit of vanilla, a little bit of honey to sweeten it, but give it that flavor that balances so well with the strawberry and the mangoes.

00:09:51.729 --> 00:09:52.269
Have I made you hungry yet?

00:09:53.533 --> 00:09:54.296
I'm hungry.

00:09:54.296 --> 00:09:58.346
I'm hungry because we're recording this early and I have not yet had my breakfast.

00:09:58.346 --> 00:09:59.269
I am hungry.

00:09:59.811 --> 00:10:02.456
So that's really my go to breakfast right now.

00:10:02.456 --> 00:10:08.230
Now, if you want to know what I would like to eat from the stuff that we make, oh, the tofu scramble.

00:10:08.230 --> 00:10:11.788
I love the tofu scramble, that's just.

00:10:11.788 --> 00:10:12.250
It can be beat.

00:10:12.851 --> 00:10:19.250
It's so good and we have talked about this on previous episodes Get inside podcast insiders experience and search tofu scramble to find it.

00:10:19.250 --> 00:10:28.758
You know, we say sometimes we'll be on the episode and we'll say, oh, go back and listen to the episode where we talked about this I don't know the exact number Just get inside podcast insiders experience.

00:10:28.758 --> 00:10:30.221
We made everything searchable for you.

00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:30.822
It's searchable.

00:10:31.370 --> 00:10:33.855
All you have to do is go oh, where'd they talk about tofu scramble?

00:10:33.855 --> 00:10:34.818
I want to know how to make that.

00:10:34.818 --> 00:10:35.961
I want to know what they put in it.

00:10:37.091 --> 00:10:42.105
Yes, go into it and the bottom right hand corner you'll see the little magnifying glass icon.

00:10:42.105 --> 00:10:44.269
Press that, a little window pops up.

00:10:44.269 --> 00:10:50.269
You put in the search term and then everywhere we've ever said it on a podcast it'll pop right up for you.

00:10:51.111 --> 00:10:59.491
And, as believers in Christ, I'm going to drop a kingdom principle here for you, and it's this Get in there and get the info you need, but share.

00:10:59.491 --> 00:11:05.221
Share, because these are the people that we see time and again, a sore in this lifestyle.

00:11:05.221 --> 00:11:10.269
Snap a pic of that breakfast you make after you search tofu scramble and you try to make it our way.

00:11:10.269 --> 00:11:17.587
Snap a picture and post it in there, or get in there and ask questions to how did you make it?

00:11:17.587 --> 00:11:19.393
What do you put on yours, what did you like?

00:11:19.393 --> 00:11:23.024
As you guys start doing this I cannot stress this enough.

00:11:23.024 --> 00:11:25.269
This is what we've seen time and again in our communities.

00:11:25.269 --> 00:11:35.250
When you start sharing, when you're the one that shows up and you snap that picture and you ask your questions and you're giving, you're giving.

00:11:35.250 --> 00:11:38.398
Like it takes two seconds to snap a picture of something.

00:11:38.398 --> 00:11:43.269
We said this so many times do not try to make it, do not try to make a magazine worthy picture.

00:11:43.269 --> 00:11:46.038
Snap a picture, share what you did, that's it.

00:11:46.038 --> 00:11:48.323
It takes about two seconds, that's it.

00:11:48.323 --> 00:11:50.250
Post it inside the community.

00:11:50.250 --> 00:12:04.269
Don't just get in there and search what you need, but, as you're taking action, share what you're doing, gain the support you need too, but you're going to get more of that back, just by nature, because it is God's way that when you give, it shall be given to you.

00:12:04.269 --> 00:12:09.344
Right, it happens as you give, he just blesses you more.

00:12:09.344 --> 00:12:11.269
And you don't give to get Absolutely not.

00:12:11.269 --> 00:12:14.698
But your heart and your life is going to be so much more blessed.

00:12:14.698 --> 00:12:22.736
You're going to go farther in life when you go together, because as you share and the next person shares, and it's going to inspire somebody else to share, ask questions.

00:12:22.736 --> 00:12:29.269
That's when things get amazing, because you're going to gain that momentum not by yourself, but together.

00:12:29.269 --> 00:12:33.722
Imagine a snowball rolling downhill by itself and one rolling beside another one.

00:12:33.722 --> 00:12:35.386
Okay, what is going to happen?

00:12:35.386 --> 00:12:36.269
What's going to be the end result?

00:12:36.269 --> 00:12:42.269
It's going to be so much more powerful together, and we were made to live in community like this together.

00:12:42.269 --> 00:12:48.222
So get in there and search Tofu Scramble, because Jer just dropped that wisdom nugget and that's a great one.

00:12:48.222 --> 00:12:52.250
Tofu Scramble is amazing for breakfast and we talked about it many times, so we won't go into that here.

00:12:52.250 --> 00:12:57.384
But get inside Pi at Power On Plants dot com forward, slash Pi that's poweronplants dot com.

00:12:57.384 --> 00:12:57.625
Forward.

00:12:57.625 --> 00:12:59.269
Slash P I E and search it.

00:12:59.269 --> 00:13:04.269
Every podcast episode is searchable, so just search Tofu or Tofu Scramble.

00:13:05.131 --> 00:13:06.033
And it'll pop right up.

00:13:06.033 --> 00:13:09.241
Another one would be pancakes and waffles.

00:13:09.241 --> 00:13:11.037
Love them so much.

00:13:11.037 --> 00:13:11.658
Love those.

00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:12.783
Love them so much.

00:13:12.783 --> 00:13:16.317
And those are inside the Power On Plants cookbook, so grab your copy of that.

00:13:16.317 --> 00:13:17.884
The link is below in the show notes.

00:13:18.004 --> 00:13:19.269
And they're amazingly quick and simple.

00:13:19.831 --> 00:13:21.135
They're so good.

00:13:21.135 --> 00:13:23.143
Oh, my word I mean light and fluffy.

00:13:23.143 --> 00:13:25.009
This is a game changer for a lot of people.

00:13:25.009 --> 00:13:27.854
It is One of our members, robin, talks about this often.

00:13:27.854 --> 00:13:35.123
She talks about how it changed her routine when her family comes over because she had been able to have breakfast with them and so long and have the foods the same foods.

00:13:35.123 --> 00:13:41.932
They were eating pancakes and waffles and she wanted to be able to just enjoy something as simple as pancakes and waffles.

00:13:41.932 --> 00:13:44.509
Maybe it's not that for you, maybe it's something different.

00:13:44.509 --> 00:13:47.433
Get inside the community and ask how do you make this thing?

00:13:47.433 --> 00:13:53.251
I miss having this specific food with my family and inside our membership community.

00:13:53.251 --> 00:13:57.049
I can get in there and maybe cook up some of these things for you and show you in the kitchen.

00:13:57.049 --> 00:13:58.951
Hey, this is exactly how we do it.

00:13:58.951 --> 00:14:00.070
If you have a question, ask.

00:14:00.070 --> 00:14:04.089
I'm always willing to do that for you, but I love shared.

00:14:04.089 --> 00:14:07.392
Mention waffles here because these are the lightest, fluffiest waffles.

00:14:07.432 --> 00:14:07.874
They're good.

00:14:08.345 --> 00:14:17.291
We have two recipes One is gluten-free and one is not and they're both just as good as the other and literally they take two seconds to throw into the blender, turn it on.

00:14:17.291 --> 00:14:21.130
If you have a blender that you can turn on and you have a waffle iron, you can make these.

00:14:21.130 --> 00:14:22.695
You can make these Quickly.

00:14:22.695 --> 00:14:23.566
Quickly.

00:14:23.566 --> 00:14:24.129
They're so fast.

00:14:24.129 --> 00:14:29.451
The hardest part and the longest part is waiting for your waffle iron to heat up and to cook the waffle.

00:14:29.451 --> 00:14:32.890
Now what I'm gonna share with you here is an end recipe that I love.

00:14:32.890 --> 00:14:35.470
This is one of the breakfast things that I just think is so much fun.

00:14:35.470 --> 00:14:38.653
So you're thinking about the lunch or dinner idea for breakfast.

00:14:38.653 --> 00:14:45.630
Take a waffle, one of these amazing light waffles, and I like to cook them till they're crispy on the outside and still soft on the inside.

00:14:45.630 --> 00:14:48.514
So I cook them till the steam is no longer coming out.

00:14:48.514 --> 00:14:53.251
The sides of the waffle iron, if you know what I mean, that's kind of a good signal of when you can lift the lid and they're about done.

00:14:53.251 --> 00:14:57.549
But if they're not crunchy enough to hold up to toppings, leave them a little longer.

00:14:57.549 --> 00:15:02.811
Then you're gonna take one of our yummy sauces from the Power On Plants Cookbook that take about five minutes to make.

00:15:02.811 --> 00:15:06.630
So you're gonna whip that up when your batter is in the waffle iron.

00:15:06.630 --> 00:15:09.125
If you haven't already made it for the week, do that Now.

00:15:09.125 --> 00:15:15.352
A lot of our members make those ahead of time and have those just in your fridge for the week because it's so quick and easy to do.

00:15:15.544 --> 00:15:17.432
And then you keep well for several days in a refrigerator.

00:15:17.605 --> 00:15:17.826
Yeah.

00:15:17.826 --> 00:15:19.552
So take one of your favorite sauces.

00:15:19.552 --> 00:15:22.346
That would be great on a sandwich Like our.

00:15:22.346 --> 00:15:23.692
Thousand Island is really good.

00:15:23.692 --> 00:15:32.854
It's kind of like a Big Mac sauce, so you could put that on there and put a bean burger on top and a ton of veggies that you enjoy on top of your burger.

00:15:32.854 --> 00:15:34.672
Think about what did I like on my burger before.

00:15:34.672 --> 00:15:39.428
Or I'll just make loaded veggie sandwiches so I'll put my favorite dressing, whatever it is, that morning.

00:15:39.428 --> 00:15:52.030
Sometimes it's just as simple as cashew cream or garlic cashew cream, and then I'll put sauerkraut and avocado and tomato and pile it up with lettuces, just all different color the dark leafy greens.

00:15:52.030 --> 00:15:55.865
Get a bunch of those in there and it is delicious, of course.

00:15:55.865 --> 00:15:57.371
You know I left some hot sauce on that too.

00:15:58.046 --> 00:15:59.812
Oh yeah, you can't forget the hot sauce.

00:15:59.812 --> 00:16:16.427
I just had an idea, though, and we may have said this before, we may have even done this, but putting tofu scramble on the waffles, almost making like a breakfast sandwich, because those little pockets will hold the tofu scramble in there, I think they'll hold better than just like a plain bread, where it might fall out.

00:16:16.427 --> 00:16:19.511
The sides Kind of press it down like a sandwich.

00:16:19.985 --> 00:16:20.950
So you're topping yours.

00:16:20.950 --> 00:16:24.565
I usually eat mine open face, but you can If weight loss is your goal.

00:16:24.605 --> 00:16:25.528
Well, we can do it either way.

00:16:25.629 --> 00:16:27.971
Yeah, if weight loss is your goal, I would say eat them open face.

00:16:27.971 --> 00:16:42.693
Don't say to yourself I can't have a waffle, because these things are so light and fluffy and airy that Well, you're not gonna eat a ton of them if you're lighting them up with veggies anyway, but breads are known to be some of the things that make things harder to lose weight, to drop the pound.

00:16:42.693 --> 00:16:46.690
So if you are struggling with that, drop a little bit of the bread, but don't stop eating bread.

00:16:46.690 --> 00:16:48.509
Eat the good bread, eat this.

00:16:48.509 --> 00:16:49.553
You know what's in there.

00:16:49.553 --> 00:16:53.009
You dropped it all in your Vitamix or your high power blender.

00:16:53.009 --> 00:16:58.134
You're neutral at whatever it is and in two seconds you had waffles on the waffle iron.

00:16:58.134 --> 00:17:02.529
Just make sure it's hot before you pour them in there, cause that's a big key to getting them out of the waffle iron.

00:17:02.529 --> 00:17:03.673
But I eat mine open face.

00:17:03.673 --> 00:17:04.295
I just prefer it.

00:17:04.295 --> 00:17:08.074
I don't like so much bread Cause I feel like it masks the flavor of it.

00:17:08.484 --> 00:17:08.906
And so.

00:17:09.228 --> 00:17:19.309
But the funny thing is too and I think Matthew got this from me Cause remember when Matthew was little, our son he hated having stuff on his fingers like getting mess on his fingers and I thought, where does he get that?

00:17:19.309 --> 00:17:26.550
And lately I've been trying to eat open face sandwiches and I found myself just ripping up the bread, throwing all the toppings into a bowl.

00:17:26.550 --> 00:17:27.493
And you can do this.

00:17:27.493 --> 00:17:28.175
You can so do this.

00:17:28.175 --> 00:17:31.569
If you want to just eat it as open face, you throw all that stuff in the bowl.

00:17:31.569 --> 00:17:32.307
Now what do you have?

00:17:32.307 --> 00:17:33.372
You have a salad.

00:17:33.372 --> 00:17:35.151
I've just taught you how to repurpose right there.

00:17:35.151 --> 00:17:37.211
Your sandwich is now a sandwich salad.

00:17:37.904 --> 00:17:41.771
Or if you were doing the tofu scramble and you wanted to just tear up the waffle.

00:17:41.771 --> 00:17:43.410
Now you have a tofu bowl.

00:17:43.410 --> 00:17:46.673
Oh my goodness, you have a bowl and you could toss this stuff in there.

00:17:46.924 --> 00:17:47.125
Y'all.

00:17:47.125 --> 00:17:50.148
He's just come up with a new favorite for us that we haven't even made before.

00:17:50.892 --> 00:17:51.753
We gotta try that.

00:17:51.753 --> 00:17:52.006
What if?

00:17:52.026 --> 00:17:53.632
you did breakfast pit y'all.

00:17:53.632 --> 00:17:55.770
This is what we do inside our community.

00:17:55.770 --> 00:18:00.071
We love doing this on our coaching calls, so you're getting a sneak peek into what we do.

00:18:00.071 --> 00:18:05.249
If you want somebody to do this with you on a regular basis, get into our communities as soon as they're open up.

00:18:05.249 --> 00:18:12.454
The best way to do that is most likely gonna be through our course in the future, but this is what we love to do to brainstorm stuff.

00:18:12.454 --> 00:18:14.626
And this is exactly what happens, jared and I.

00:18:14.626 --> 00:18:29.851
You're listening to the creative genius that happens when you get into community with each other and you start sharing and you start listening to somebody who's been doing this for years come up with new mind-blowing things that they never even thought to do before.

00:18:29.851 --> 00:18:32.492
Maybe you think, oh well, that idea wasn't for me.

00:18:32.492 --> 00:18:37.727
Trust me, it keeps going and going and something will come up that by the end of that session you're going.

00:18:37.727 --> 00:18:38.529
That just blows my mind.

00:18:38.529 --> 00:18:41.470
I can't believe I've never thought of that before and we're leaving the session going.

00:18:41.470 --> 00:18:44.830
We never thought of that before either, just like you are happening today.

00:18:44.830 --> 00:18:46.612
But he just made me think of something.

00:18:46.612 --> 00:18:58.912
So if you're doing a breakfast bowl, why not slice up some potatoes really thin, like you would normally have done breakfast potatoes, but you're not gonna fry them up, you're just gonna bake them kind of dry in the oven with some of your favorite seasonings and spices.

00:18:58.912 --> 00:19:01.929
You will not believe not putting oil on those how they will crisp up.

00:19:01.929 --> 00:19:04.426
You don't have to put oil on them, you just don't.

00:19:04.426 --> 00:19:06.212
And don't bake them super, super high.

00:19:06.212 --> 00:19:12.372
You know you can do about 375, something like that and just bake them and turn them until they get brown and crunchy like you want them.

00:19:12.372 --> 00:19:13.749
What if you did that?

00:19:13.749 --> 00:19:17.471
Put those in a bowl and you topped that with tofu scramble.

00:19:17.932 --> 00:19:18.535
That would be good.

00:19:18.825 --> 00:19:21.173
And your tofu scramble was loaded with veggies.

00:19:21.173 --> 00:19:29.730
So you've got think about like a smothered and covered if you used to do Waffle House or IHOP or any of those where they would cover things.

00:19:29.730 --> 00:19:31.952
But we're not gonna cover it in oil and stuff.

00:19:31.952 --> 00:19:35.393
That makes us feel bad, that's coating our few vegetables that are on there.

00:19:35.393 --> 00:19:42.873
We're gonna pile up a load and load it up with a ton of veggies that you could cook on that same tray right next to those potatoes.

00:19:42.873 --> 00:19:44.670
Oh, my goodness.

00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:47.012
And then get your favorite dressing over that.

00:19:47.012 --> 00:19:56.290
So you've got your potatoes, your tofu scramble, with all these veggies that cook beside it, and now you're gonna put a delicious five minute dressing out of the power on plants cookbook.

00:19:56.290 --> 00:19:59.734
Oh my goodness, your mind is gonna be blown.

00:19:59.734 --> 00:20:01.090
You're not gonna believe how good this is.

00:20:01.090 --> 00:20:04.890
And if you think, anita, I love these spices, I love these seasonings.

00:20:04.890 --> 00:20:08.471
If you wanted to taste smoky like meat, put some smoked paprika on there.

00:20:08.471 --> 00:20:12.796
If you wanted to be ranchy, get that ranch dressing on there.

00:20:12.796 --> 00:20:14.111
That would be delicious on that.

00:20:14.111 --> 00:20:15.729
And Jare and I are putting hot sauce on it.

00:20:15.729 --> 00:20:16.490
It's just happening.

00:20:16.530 --> 00:20:17.994
It has to have hot sauce and it's so funny.

00:20:17.994 --> 00:20:18.695
It's just too good.

00:20:19.144 --> 00:20:21.574
I did not like hot sauce before we started eating this way.

00:20:21.574 --> 00:20:24.789
So if you're thinking they're crazy about hot sauce, they talk about it all the time.

00:20:24.789 --> 00:20:32.633
Peppers are great for you, and the more you start eating the heat, just a little bit at a time, the more you will find that you actually like it.

00:20:32.633 --> 00:20:38.852
It's kind of funny because I never liked it before and I just started eating a little bit and a little bit, and now I really enjoy hot sauce.

00:20:39.345 --> 00:20:40.991
And we're talking Tabasco level stuff.

00:20:40.991 --> 00:20:44.815
We're not talking Habanero Carolina Reaper.

00:20:44.835 --> 00:20:48.292
No, please, oh my goodness, listen If you're.

00:20:48.292 --> 00:20:53.632
No, that's just way too high If you're in podcast insider's experience or, if you're not, just go in and search.

00:20:53.632 --> 00:21:06.213
Because I recently posted about this poor woman who had grown Carolina Reapers in her backyard and she posted and she just cannot believe she was dying because she had made a pepper sauce with those and had drizzled it all over something she was eating.

00:21:06.213 --> 00:21:14.811
And she has this picture of her with this huge ice cube in her mouth and I felt so sorry for her and I posted it on there as a warning when plant-based goes dangerous.

00:21:14.811 --> 00:21:19.651
You know, like, when it gets dangerous, be careful, you can search that inside pie.

00:21:19.651 --> 00:21:33.352
It's funny, but it's not funny Like we need these warnings because that poor woman so yeah, we're not talking five alarm hot sauce like Jared was saying yeah, but try these new ideas and get into the communities where you're gonna keep gaining these new ideas.

00:21:33.352 --> 00:21:35.291
It's not just about the podcast today.

00:21:35.291 --> 00:21:39.949
Yes, jot down the ideas as we're saying them and as you hear us coming up with them.

00:21:39.949 --> 00:21:42.135
Seriously, this is what we do.

00:21:42.135 --> 00:21:43.078
This is what we love doing.

00:21:43.078 --> 00:21:45.518
This is our zone of genius and excitement.

00:21:45.518 --> 00:21:49.140
We love doing this because it should never be boring.

00:21:49.140 --> 00:21:51.376
Do not let plant-based be boring.

00:21:51.376 --> 00:21:58.457
It will not be sustainable for you if you are bored eating the same three meals, four meals, five meals all the time.

00:21:58.457 --> 00:22:02.057
Yes, start out with your one favorite, then get your next favorite and your next favorite.

00:22:02.057 --> 00:22:05.356
You'll learn how to do that more inside Podcast Insiders Experience.

00:22:05.356 --> 00:22:05.951
Get in there.

00:22:05.951 --> 00:22:06.796
What are you waiting for?

00:22:06.796 --> 00:22:09.916
It's free, but take the ideas today.

00:22:09.916 --> 00:22:16.160
Start snapping your picture sharing them in the group and before long you're gonna have a whole slew of favorites.

00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.532
What if y'all started sharing your favorites with each other?

00:22:18.532 --> 00:22:21.317
Oh, my goodness, what if you start doing that?

00:22:21.317 --> 00:22:27.217
You're just not gonna believe the options it is literally limitless.

00:22:27.217 --> 00:22:38.076
And at the same time, you're feeling better, your body's stronger, your aches are going away, your harmful lab levels are reversing, you no longer have diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol.

00:22:38.076 --> 00:22:43.378
All those things are disappearing that we're holding you back from living your dreams.

00:22:43.378 --> 00:22:52.712
That is the power of having deliciousness on your plate that fuels your body well, that's filled with the most nutrient dense foods on the planet.

00:22:53.269 --> 00:22:55.279
That is power on plants.

00:22:55.279 --> 00:22:56.704
That is power on plants.

00:22:57.150 --> 00:22:58.034
That is power on plants.

00:22:58.034 --> 00:23:02.280
Okay, we are not gonna do lunch and dinner separate, because that's silly.

00:23:02.280 --> 00:23:04.415
I mean, we eat kind of the same things for lunch, and dinner.

00:23:04.435 --> 00:23:04.817
Pretty much yeah.

00:23:04.836 --> 00:23:09.296
We rotate it oh, for lunch, oh, and we left out one of my favorites.

00:23:09.296 --> 00:23:10.835
For breakfast, I have to mention a smoothie.

00:23:10.835 --> 00:23:12.035
I love a green smoothie, y'all.

00:23:12.035 --> 00:23:14.776
There was a day when I didn't like it because I thought they tasted nasty.

00:23:14.776 --> 00:23:17.357
But let me tell you, your taste buds are going to change.

00:23:17.357 --> 00:23:24.817
I promise you don't start out drinking a green smoothie that's packed to the tip top with greens and think I hate whole-fee, plant-based.

00:23:24.817 --> 00:23:25.660
I cannot do this.

00:23:25.660 --> 00:23:28.038
I cannot eat salads and green smoothies my entire life.

00:23:28.038 --> 00:23:29.916
Trust me, you're gonna learn to love these things.

00:23:29.916 --> 00:23:31.876
Your body is going to actually cry out for them.

00:23:32.150 --> 00:23:39.596
But you're gonna learn to make them in a way that you love, though, because if you just randomly threw some stuff in a blender, it may not taste very good.

00:23:39.596 --> 00:23:52.454
I mean, you might hit a home run that first time, but as you learn how to put the things together where you have that wonderful flavor and high-speed blender makes a difference, because if you have just a regular sunbeam, you're gonna end up with a green chunky.

00:23:52.454 --> 00:24:01.315
No one wants a green chunky and with a high-speed blender, it's going to release the flavors found inside the plants, inside the plant cells, so it makes a difference.

00:24:01.515 --> 00:24:02.258
Yes, it does.

00:24:02.258 --> 00:24:06.355
Now, one of my favorites for lunch lately Loaded baked sweet potato.

00:24:06.355 --> 00:24:10.596
I don't care if you cook your sweet potato in the microwave and the Instant Pot in the oven.

00:24:10.596 --> 00:24:15.134
There's so many different ways, y'all, there's a hundred different ways to do this to make it work for you.

00:24:15.134 --> 00:24:24.057
Joanne might put hers in the Instant Pot, jamie might put hers in the microwave, curtis might like to bake his in the oven.

00:24:24.057 --> 00:24:25.594
It doesn't matter.

00:24:25.594 --> 00:24:33.357
There's so many things that we worry about that just don't matter, like get the potato cooked, get it on your plate in the way that works for you.

00:24:33.589 --> 00:24:46.192
And the reason we mention this too is because maybe you don't have an Instant Pot, or maybe you don't have a microwave, or maybe it's just you and you want to make just one potato, but you don't want to heat up the oven for an hour for several, you just want the one.

00:24:46.192 --> 00:24:47.217
Do the microwave.

00:24:47.217 --> 00:25:00.019
But if you say I've got a ton of people I can't cook that many in the microwave, put I don't know 20 of them if they'll fit in the oven and then take that hour to cook them, so again, whatever works best for you in your situation, and what do?

00:25:00.039 --> 00:25:00.361
you have.

00:25:00.361 --> 00:25:12.057
But I've got to say, when you're first getting started, and even if you've been doing this for a long time but you've never been able to make it stick, a lot of times the problem is you don't even have the ideas that you can do it all these different ways.

00:25:12.057 --> 00:25:14.155
You don't know the different methods.

00:25:14.155 --> 00:25:19.796
Get into community so that you learn the different methods that are available for you.

00:25:19.796 --> 00:25:21.977
It's not just about something is.

00:25:21.977 --> 00:25:24.758
It's not just about getting the recipes.

00:25:24.758 --> 00:25:26.938
Absolutely, you need recipes to get started.

00:25:26.938 --> 00:25:28.415
You need these and recipe ideas.

00:25:28.415 --> 00:25:32.538
You come in and, of course, you want to understand the things that are going to make it quick and simple for you.

00:25:32.538 --> 00:25:40.797
And if you don't even know that these cooking methods are an option or how to do each one, so that you can then process it and go okay, which one's simpler for me?

00:25:40.797 --> 00:25:42.095
Which one do I prefer?

00:25:42.095 --> 00:25:45.336
Maybe I like to do all three, but at different times in my life.

00:25:45.336 --> 00:25:49.156
These are the things that you can consider when you're in the right environment.

00:25:49.156 --> 00:25:55.798
You have the right people surrounding you that can foster these ideas, that can make you excited about living this way.

00:25:55.798 --> 00:25:59.999
If you're not surrounded with those people on a regular basis, it's just not going to happen.

00:25:59.999 --> 00:26:01.876
You're going to try it the same old dieting way.

00:26:01.876 --> 00:26:04.232
You're going to be counting macros, keeping up at points.

00:26:04.232 --> 00:26:07.237
Be on that app, and it's just not going to work.

00:26:07.237 --> 00:26:14.376
So I say all that to say maybe you don't even know that these different things are an option, these different cooking methods, but they are.

00:26:14.376 --> 00:26:19.739
So get the potato made, get it onto your plate, and then I want you to start loading it up.

00:26:19.739 --> 00:26:19.990
Now.

00:26:19.990 --> 00:26:25.214
I thought this was the weirdest combo when I first started watching people load it up with similar things.

00:26:25.214 --> 00:26:32.256
I don't think I've seen anybody do this exact same combo, but I saw people starting to put black beans on their sweet potato and I thought, oh, that's just weird.

00:26:32.256 --> 00:26:34.104
That's just weird like.

00:26:34.124 --> 00:26:34.786
I thought the same.

00:26:34.846 --> 00:26:36.550
Thing beans on sweet potato.

00:26:36.550 --> 00:26:41.586
But really I think in some countries that is very common.

00:26:41.586 --> 00:26:49.278
I think they do eat beans and sweet potatoes together a lot, but for me it was just strange, like it's sweet and then I got black beans on there.

00:26:49.278 --> 00:26:49.839
That's kind of weird.

00:26:49.839 --> 00:26:52.266
But I'm telling you, try this.

00:26:52.266 --> 00:26:59.952
Okay, sweet potatoes, baked, cooked, soft, open those up and get on there some drained black beans.

00:26:59.952 --> 00:27:03.241
I'm into garlic sauerkraut right now, so I sprinkle that on there.

00:27:03.241 --> 00:27:08.013
I do not put any salt because it's already salted, but it's fermented, which is much more beneficial.

00:27:08.013 --> 00:27:12.509
So I love to sprinkle a little bit of sauerkraut on there to give it a little bit of saltiness.

00:27:12.509 --> 00:27:19.891
A tad of salsa, salsa for instead, instead of putting sour cream and all that stuff, try salsa on this.

00:27:19.891 --> 00:27:21.153
It's so good.

00:27:21.153 --> 00:27:25.895
So I put the salsa, the sauerkraut, the black beans and I like cilantro.

00:27:25.895 --> 00:27:27.119
If you don't like it, leave it off.

00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:27.702
It's fine.

00:27:27.702 --> 00:27:35.411
If you love cream and you haven't broken your addiction to cheese and you try it and you think it needs something a little creamy, drizzle a little bit of cashew cream on there.

00:27:35.411 --> 00:27:39.828
Most times now I eat mine without the cashew cream because I don't feel like it needs it.

00:27:39.828 --> 00:27:46.766
That salsa, bean, sauerkraut combo so good it lights me up.

00:27:46.766 --> 00:27:48.590
Maybe you try it and you don't like it.

00:27:48.590 --> 00:27:52.429
I want you to start thinking of other combos that you could get on your sweet potato.

00:27:52.429 --> 00:27:57.500
Get into the palm plants community and ask what are you eating on your potato?

00:27:57.500 --> 00:28:01.133
What lights you up when it comes to your baked potato?

00:28:01.133 --> 00:28:03.140
Your savory ones, your sweet ones?

00:28:03.140 --> 00:28:04.826
These are all great options.

00:28:04.826 --> 00:28:07.634
Think about two with the savory potatoes.

00:28:07.634 --> 00:28:08.738
I love.

00:28:08.738 --> 00:28:10.490
You know I used to love sour cream and butter.

00:28:10.490 --> 00:28:16.539
I was a dairy queen, of course, so I love putting on ranch or ranch, and the power plants cookbook is amazing on there.

00:28:16.539 --> 00:28:18.311
I even like our blue cheese on there.

00:28:18.311 --> 00:28:19.519
It's really good.

00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:22.172
But I mean you can pile it with the same thing.

00:28:22.172 --> 00:28:27.940
You could do that, do a ranch and and black beans and salsa, and it would be delicious.

00:28:27.940 --> 00:28:29.644
That would be amazing.

00:28:29.644 --> 00:28:32.354
Or maybe you're thinking I don't want beans on my potato.

00:28:32.354 --> 00:28:34.220
Serve them on the side with whatever you like.

00:28:34.220 --> 00:28:39.720
Maybe you like beans and salsa on the side with some Mexican seasoning and some corn mixed in.

00:28:39.720 --> 00:28:41.205
I mean I'm just throwing this out there.

00:28:41.205 --> 00:28:42.285
There's.

00:28:42.465 --> 00:28:48.028
It really is limitless or something similar instead of the salsa, maybe like a pico de gallo, depending on the time of year.

00:28:48.028 --> 00:28:51.200
I would be similar, but a little bit different flavor really good.

00:28:51.862 --> 00:28:53.626
But you can do so many different things.

00:28:53.626 --> 00:28:59.838
You can keep your baked potato Traditional and put this cream and the things like that on there, or you can start piling it up with veggies.

00:28:59.838 --> 00:29:06.779
Lately I've loved just doing a savory potato piling it up with greens, like my salad greens dark leafy's.

00:29:06.779 --> 00:29:09.449
It's a wonderful way to get more of those in there.

00:29:10.342 --> 00:29:16.880
We've done the savory potatoes typically the russet potatoes, but we also like gold potatoes and then we'll put sauteed mushrooms on it.

00:29:16.880 --> 00:29:22.938
Oh, that's good If we saute some onion, maybe put a little bit of a sauce on there, like the cashew cream sauce.

00:29:22.958 --> 00:29:28.200
Mm-hmm, I love just doing the potato with that bed of greens and then some fresh raw veggies.

00:29:28.200 --> 00:29:32.531
So maybe some raw onion, raw tomato and then just a really good sauce.

00:29:32.531 --> 00:29:40.707
Think of it like a salad with a huge potato in it and then just the quick and easy things that you just throw into the blender and they're done in a matter of minutes.

00:29:40.707 --> 00:29:48.619
That's pretty much how I like everything I make to be our creamy tomato soup and the power and plants cookbook, our Alfredo sauce from the power and plants cookbook.

00:29:48.619 --> 00:29:49.994
We love doing those things.

00:29:49.994 --> 00:29:51.954
And then there's loading in the veggies.

00:29:51.954 --> 00:29:54.813
Think about Alfredo, the way you liked it before.

00:29:54.813 --> 00:30:06.300
I mean you might want to eat it plain on the side, sometimes with some side veggies, or you might want to put your veggies into it, like yesterday, the kids grated carrots and they put some Frozen green peas.

00:30:06.300 --> 00:30:21.483
And they put some frozen green peas, the carrots, they sauteed mushrooms with a little bit of tamari and vegan Worcestershire sauce, pepper, the Alfredo sauce and a little bit of pasta and we had just this loaded, veggie loaded dish.

00:30:21.483 --> 00:30:24.672
It was like an Alfredo, but just so much more.

00:30:24.852 --> 00:30:25.333
It was good.

00:30:26.060 --> 00:30:26.703
So good.

00:30:26.904 --> 00:30:30.599
I emerged from my office because I was on my lunch break to that special treat.

00:30:30.821 --> 00:30:33.019
It was nice and then there's Zupa Tuscana.

00:30:33.019 --> 00:30:35.027
Maybe you like a warm soup.

00:30:35.027 --> 00:30:38.159
That was a soup that I've loved from all of us.

00:30:38.159 --> 00:30:40.443
And that is in the power and plants cookbook.

00:30:40.564 --> 00:30:49.048
Very easy to make the key with that one, though, is replacing the seasonings, the herbs, the Spices that you would traditionally find in a sausage.

00:30:49.048 --> 00:30:54.492
Take those same flavors, put that in the soup, leave the meat out, but you still have all those wonderful flavors.

00:30:55.115 --> 00:30:56.200
I love doing that.

00:30:56.200 --> 00:31:00.220
That is my specialty all taking those recipes and copycatting them.

00:31:00.220 --> 00:31:02.953
I've been doing that since even before we were playing bass.

00:31:02.953 --> 00:31:15.832
Ever since we've been married, we would eat out at a restaurant and I'd sit there and I would take apart the flavors in my mind and build the recipe and go back Home and make it and I just I have a gifting to be able to do that, and maybe you do too.

00:31:15.832 --> 00:31:18.553
Bring that gifting to plant-based eating.

00:31:18.553 --> 00:31:23.288
Get the flavors, don't forget the seasonings and the flavorings and the things that you need in there.

00:31:23.469 --> 00:31:29.920
Be a flavor deconstructionist, break it apart in your mind and then recreate it deconstruct the flavors.

00:31:30.782 --> 00:31:37.604
I love that and, keeping in mind how we love those creamy, cheesy things and I love a good soup I'll eat a soup anytime of the year.

00:31:37.604 --> 00:31:42.114
Currently, I'm writing one of our favorite soup recipes cheesy veggie chowder.

00:31:42.114 --> 00:31:47.880
So if you're inside power and plant society, I want you to be looking out for it because that's coming your way.

00:31:47.880 --> 00:31:51.180
But if you aren't there, don't worry, because it's so good.

00:31:51.180 --> 00:32:00.313
I'm gonna be sharing that inside our course in the future as well, so you are gonna be able to get your hands on that and, trust me, it is so worth the wait.

00:32:00.313 --> 00:32:02.734
This is one of the ones that lights us up.

00:32:02.734 --> 00:32:03.400
It's quick and easy.

00:32:03.400 --> 00:32:10.500
You dump it into the instant pot, press start and then I have a little secret at the end that makes it just creamy and delicious.

00:32:10.500 --> 00:32:12.728
You're not going to believe this recipe.

00:32:12.728 --> 00:32:16.528
I kind of brought it off of an old Southern living cookbook that I have.

00:32:16.528 --> 00:32:19.294
It was ancient and I loved that recipe.

00:32:19.294 --> 00:32:21.836
I used to make it all the time and I thought well, you know what?

00:32:21.836 --> 00:32:26.265
Why not enjoy those same things now that we used to enjoy before?

00:32:26.265 --> 00:32:27.505
Does that sound familiar to you?

00:32:27.505 --> 00:32:30.748
If you've been around here long, that should sound very familiar to you.

00:32:30.748 --> 00:32:33.828
This is how you have success in plant-based living.

00:32:33.828 --> 00:32:35.185
This is one of the big keys.

00:32:35.185 --> 00:32:41.826
You've got to have your old favorites in a new and improved, upgraded way that will actually love your body back.

00:32:42.160 --> 00:32:48.006
And I would say that recipe hits the status of comfort food because it was something that we used to eat what 25 years ago.

00:32:48.006 --> 00:32:59.968
We've learned to remake it in a way that loves us back, so we have those fond memories of, oh, we love this so much and it's just very filling, it's very satisfying, so that is absolutely a comfort recipe.

00:33:00.539 --> 00:33:02.508
Oh yeah, that is on our Go To Favorites list.

00:33:02.508 --> 00:33:05.689
Time and time again we pull that one back up and make it.

00:33:05.689 --> 00:33:07.288
It's like what do we wanna eat today?

00:33:07.288 --> 00:33:09.366
Definitely cheesy veggie counter.

00:33:09.366 --> 00:33:11.025
It's delicious.

00:33:11.025 --> 00:33:14.429
We have shared so many ideas with you today.

00:33:14.429 --> 00:33:20.106
I mean it can be as simple as something raw that you just throw into the blender and blend up or throw into your dehydrator.

00:33:20.106 --> 00:33:22.347
You don't even have to cook eating this way.

00:33:22.347 --> 00:33:23.704
I've been making raw wraps.

00:33:23.704 --> 00:33:43.586
I'm learning how to make some really good raw wraps, make my own recipe, because recently I had gotten some recipes from someone else and they had used a lot of an ingredient that was really strong for me and I thought I've gotta kind of remake things in a way that really works for me, that I like the flavor of, and so I'm probably gonna be coming out with some wrap recipes in the future in the way that we love those.

00:33:43.586 --> 00:33:44.965
But that's so easy.

00:33:44.965 --> 00:33:46.183
I mean, it's a raw wrap.

00:33:46.183 --> 00:33:55.967
I blend it in my blender it might take five minutes to get that together I pour it on these silicone trays, pop it into my dehydrator and then it goes overnight and it's done and ready for sandwiches.

00:33:55.967 --> 00:34:00.767
So then I can throw all my salad ingredients or all my favorite sandwich ingredients in there.

00:34:00.767 --> 00:34:05.144
Roll that up and you would not believe how satisfying that is Actually on the inside.

00:34:05.144 --> 00:34:06.605
I'm gonna share what's happening right now.

00:34:06.605 --> 00:34:12.682
I'm crying a little bit on the inside because I meant to put two raw wraps in last night before I went to bed.

00:34:12.682 --> 00:34:16.126
Totally forgot it and now they're not gonna be ready until tomorrow.

00:34:16.126 --> 00:34:18.648
It makes me cry just a little bit on the inside.

00:34:18.648 --> 00:34:20.586
I love that recipe so much.

00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:24.909
And these wraps are huge, so really they could be one wrap enough for two people.

00:34:25.500 --> 00:34:26.563
Yes, unless you're starving.

00:34:26.563 --> 00:34:28.588
Unless you're starving, unless you're starving, there's no guilt.

00:34:29.280 --> 00:34:32.248
Unless maybe well for me, I could really eat both.

00:34:32.559 --> 00:34:33.985
I've totally eaten both ends.

00:34:33.985 --> 00:34:36.588
I've totally eaten the whole one many, multiple times.

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:37.121
And do I have?

00:34:37.161 --> 00:34:38.784
any guilt or pounds that go with it?

00:34:38.844 --> 00:34:41.110
No, I don't, oh, no, no guilt, no, I don't no guilt there.

00:34:42.221 --> 00:34:43.318
Because it's all fruits and veggies in the wrap.

00:34:43.318 --> 00:34:46.168
There is absolutely no guilt, no worrying about anything.

00:34:46.920 --> 00:34:50.690
No added oils, chemicals, preservatives, none of that stuff.

00:34:51.139 --> 00:34:52.826
No, but there's also no bread.

00:34:52.826 --> 00:35:02.447
If you're eating bread, right, I don't want you to worry about it, but there's a right way to do these things in a wrong way, and the wrong way is generally going to the store and picking up bread, because there aren't a lot of great options there.

00:35:02.447 --> 00:35:12.626
There are a few that are okay, but when you learn how to do these things that replicates and replaces it, that's made with all fruits and vegetables, it will blow your mind how good it is.

00:35:13.061 --> 00:35:14.646
And it helps you get diversity.

00:35:14.987 --> 00:35:15.148
Yes.

00:35:16.983 --> 00:35:18.548
You get more plants per day.

00:35:18.739 --> 00:35:22.806
And we talked about that recently in our episodes about pre-bottics and probiotics.

00:35:22.806 --> 00:35:28.266
Go back and listen to those, because gut health is so important for you when you want to feel better.

00:35:28.266 --> 00:35:30.567
It affects all different areas of your health.

00:35:30.567 --> 00:35:31.481
Yeah.

00:35:31.481 --> 00:35:53.344
So the most important thing you can do for that is getting that diversity and blending up a whole bunch of fruits and vegetables and dehydrating them to have a wrap that you then wrap around loads of veggies Just think raw, tons of raw veggies with this delicious sauce that you've gotten out of the Power Plants Cookbook or from an idea that you gleaned inside the community from another member.

00:35:53.344 --> 00:35:57.309
Then you are going to love this way of living.

00:35:57.309 --> 00:36:04.090
That's why it breaks my heart to see so many struggling with knowing how to make plant-based living sustainable.

00:36:04.090 --> 00:36:14.987

I'm telling you, jared and I are about getting you results, and we spend time in the Word and we pray over you and we seek His guidance in what we're teaching you and showing you, and this episode is one of those that just dropped straight into our hearts for you, because you need to start dreaming for your life.

00:37:21.889 --> 00:37:30.606
Maybe you felt bad for so long and I totally get this you felt bad for so long and you're in a place where you feel like, well, it ever get better?

00:37:30.606 --> 00:37:32.746
Am I ever gonna lose this weight?

00:37:32.746 --> 00:37:35.768
Am I stuck with this disease for my entire life?

00:37:35.768 --> 00:37:37.606
Maybe somebody's spoken that over you?

00:37:37.606 --> 00:37:41.826
Maybe it's a doctor that says you're gonna need to be on this medication for life.

00:37:41.826 --> 00:37:45.150
Don't accept those things as fact.

00:37:45.150 --> 00:37:48.784
Now I'm not telling you don't take a medication that someone's prescribed for you.

00:37:48.784 --> 00:37:50.927
Jared and I are healthcare professionals.

00:37:50.927 --> 00:37:52.284
He's a physician assistant.

00:37:52.284 --> 00:37:54.766
I'm a nurse with my bachelor's degree.

00:37:54.766 --> 00:38:00.724
We've gone into special training into whole food, plant based and lifestyle medicine to help you even more.

00:38:00.724 --> 00:38:23.307
But what we know and what we see a lot of times is you get these things spoken over you and you start accepting them as your reality, as who you are and as your future, instead of plugging into God, getting his dreams for your life and figuring out how to eat what he originally planned for us to eat according to Genesis 1.29.

00:38:23.307 --> 00:38:25.947
How do I get more of those foods into my life?

00:38:25.947 --> 00:38:39.643
Listen, if arguments are rising up into you about he's allowed this and he's allowed that, god allowed us to do a lot of things okay, in the word you'll see, he allowed us people to do a lot of things, but let's get back to what was his original intent for our bodies.

00:38:39.643 --> 00:38:42.869
We're not gonna get in meaningless arguments over this stuff.

00:38:42.869 --> 00:38:48.905
There is no doubt research shows time and again, the more whole plant foods you get, the better you're gonna be.

00:38:48.905 --> 00:38:50.945
So start implementing these things.

00:38:50.945 --> 00:38:55.168
But while you're doing that, learn to dream his dreams for your life.

00:38:55.168 --> 00:38:58.588
He has amazing dreams and plans for you.

00:38:58.588 --> 00:39:01.347
