00:00:00.860 --> 00:00:05.852
I want to go plant-based, but what am I going to eat instead of my buttered toast?

00:00:05.852 --> 00:00:07.665
I love my buttered toast.

00:00:07.665 --> 00:00:09.210
You can't take it away from me.

00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:25.420
There's no need to worry, because we're going to share with you today six things that you can eat on your toast that are as delicious, if not better, than your old favorite butter, so that you can break up with butter and fall in love with the stuff that actually will love you back.

00:00:26.022 --> 00:00:29.053
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:29.053 --> 00:00:34.369
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:34.369 --> 00:00:39.768
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:39.768 --> 00:00:46.009
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:46.009 --> 00:00:53.673
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:53.673 --> 00:01:07.388
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, with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.

00:01:07.388 --> 00:01:13.144
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:13.144 --> 00:01:16.912
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:16.912 --> 00:01:18.483
You just need the way.

00:01:18.483 --> 00:01:22.090
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:22.090 --> 00:01:30.328
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.

00:01:30.328 --> 00:01:35.606
So grab your favorite plant based cup of happy, pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:35.606 --> 00:01:40.102
Hey friend, we are excited to have you with us.

00:01:40.102 --> 00:01:41.406
Welcome back.

00:01:41.406 --> 00:01:46.140
And if you're new to Power on Pl, on plants, we want you to know that you are welcomed here.

00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.105
We are so happy to have you joining us.

00:01:48.527 --> 00:01:49.108
Today.

00:01:49.108 --> 00:01:55.225
We're talking about some yummy plant-based alternatives to butter for your morning toast.

00:01:55.225 --> 00:01:56.930
Now maybe you're thinking wait a minute.

00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:59.001
Toast, that's not whole food plant-based.

00:01:59.001 --> 00:02:00.986
You teach whole food plant-based.

00:02:00.986 --> 00:02:03.634
Yes, toast is not a whole plant food.

00:02:03.634 --> 00:02:05.057
Do we eat bread every day?

00:02:05.057 --> 00:02:05.317
No, we do not.

00:02:05.317 --> 00:02:05.858
Do we eat bread every day?

00:02:05.858 --> 00:02:06.120
No, we do not.

00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:10.311
Jared and I do not eat bread every day because it's not the healthiest thing for you.

00:02:10.311 --> 00:02:14.245
You can fill up on it very quickly If you're trying to lose weight.

00:02:14.245 --> 00:02:18.526
It is not going to be your best friend, but you can still have some.

00:02:18.526 --> 00:02:21.770
Don't tell yourself, I can't have this, I can't have that.

00:02:21.770 --> 00:02:31.259
We're going to find the ways to have the things we love in a way that they'll love us back in the way that we still enjoy, but that's much better for us.

00:02:31.259 --> 00:02:39.167
This is key for your success in plant-based living, so that it becomes sustainable because you actually enjoy the lifestyle.

00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:43.570
I would like to highlight that there are different qualities of bread.

00:02:43.570 --> 00:02:53.734
You've got all the way from wonder bread, which I'm not even really sure what was in it, but I'm not sure that it qualifies as bread just because the name is on the label kind of makes you wonder, doesn't?

00:02:53.734 --> 00:02:59.063
All the way to something that is a what kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?

00:02:59.123 --> 00:03:02.567
that is funny that is funny.

00:03:02.888 --> 00:03:03.508
That is funny.

00:03:03.508 --> 00:03:05.469
Well, maybe that's what it is.

00:03:05.469 --> 00:03:06.991
I wonder what this is.

00:03:06.991 --> 00:03:09.114
Can we call it bread Wonder Bread?

00:03:09.114 --> 00:03:12.097
That was probably the naming session for that product.

00:03:12.097 --> 00:03:20.669
But if you have a bread that is made from whole grains, like an Ezekiel type bread, that's a whole different quality.

00:03:20.669 --> 00:03:25.135
Now again, you don't want to, like Anita says, eat a ton of it every day.

00:03:25.135 --> 00:03:26.842
Is it delicious enough?

00:03:26.842 --> 00:03:28.888
You'd probably want to, maybe.

00:03:28.888 --> 00:03:30.711
I mean, who doesn't like a good toast?

00:03:30.711 --> 00:03:31.841
I know I do.

00:03:31.841 --> 00:03:35.408
But butter, you got to break up with it.

00:03:35.408 --> 00:03:39.567
You may not want to, but after you do you'll be so glad that you did.

00:03:39.567 --> 00:03:44.861
And these six toppings that we're about to introduce is going to make that breakup so much easier.

00:03:45.322 --> 00:03:46.943
So much easier.

00:03:46.943 --> 00:03:49.224
What's your favorite thing to eat on your toast?

00:03:49.626 --> 00:03:51.026
I would say my go-to.

00:03:51.026 --> 00:03:56.812
The thing that would come to mind first I'm assuming that would be my favorite would be avocado on it.

00:03:57.412 --> 00:03:58.933
I just love avocado on it.

00:03:58.933 --> 00:04:00.495
Why do you think that is?

00:04:01.115 --> 00:04:08.584
Well, avocado tastes amazing, but I think for me too, though, is that it also helps to replicate that creaminess.

00:04:08.584 --> 00:04:17.439
It's maybe a little bit of that fattiness yeah, like a butter but, it doesn't have that oiliness to it, it doesn't have the heaviness or weigh you down like butter used to.

00:04:17.661 --> 00:04:21.069
And how do you feel afterwards compared to when you ate butter on toast?

00:04:21.069 --> 00:04:23.060
Amazing, and I would say.

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:28.447
Another thing that we really enjoy is guacamole on toast, so think about avocado and tomato.

00:04:28.447 --> 00:04:33.886
You could do slices, or you could do guacamole that's already all mashed up together with salsa.

00:04:33.886 --> 00:04:38.283
So I like to mash mine up with salsa and it just makes it so delicious.

00:04:38.684 --> 00:04:41.509
I would say guacamole is next level avocado.

00:04:41.689 --> 00:04:42.913
It's really really good.

00:04:42.913 --> 00:04:44.745
If you haven't tried that, definitely try it.

00:04:44.745 --> 00:04:46.533
And the second option could be nut butter and fruit.

00:04:46.533 --> 00:04:47.076
It's really really good.

00:04:47.076 --> 00:04:48.060
If you haven't tried that, definitely try it.

00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:52.245
And the second option could be nut butter and fruit.

00:04:52.245 --> 00:04:54.675
It's so different to have nut butter on toast to me open face than having something like a nut butter sandwich.

00:04:54.675 --> 00:04:56.019
I love it on warm toast.

00:04:56.019 --> 00:04:57.524
You put the nut butter on there again.

00:04:57.524 --> 00:05:07.233
It kind of has that butteriness, it's the oiliness, and then you can put fresh fruit on there, any kind you want bananas, strawberries, blueberries, whatever you like.

00:05:07.233 --> 00:05:09.930
It is absolutely delicious.

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:12.749
And you could even take the fresh fruit and mash it.

00:05:12.749 --> 00:05:23.464
It's not quite like a jam, but that it makes it a little bit spreadable Because, like with blueberries, it might stick to the peanut butter or whatever nut butter you're using, but sometimes they don't.

00:05:23.464 --> 00:05:28.149
So if you mash it and you kind of spread it, it does give you that PBJ type quality to it.

00:05:28.550 --> 00:05:29.413
It's a lot like jam.

00:05:29.413 --> 00:05:30.882
You absolutely hit the nail on the head.

00:05:30.882 --> 00:05:31.625
That's wonderful.

00:05:31.625 --> 00:05:36.663
Another option is power on plants, gravy and tomatoes.

00:05:37.324 --> 00:05:37.925
Oh yes.

00:05:37.925 --> 00:05:39.168
That's an amazing one.

00:05:39.168 --> 00:05:39.670
I love it.

00:05:39.670 --> 00:05:41.839
Do you hear the longing in his voice?

00:05:41.901 --> 00:05:42.281
right now.

00:05:42.281 --> 00:05:50.274
Listen, if you grew up in the South like we did and you loved your creamy pan gravy, you do not have to give it up.

00:05:50.274 --> 00:05:50.995
You do not.

00:05:50.995 --> 00:05:57.430
You can literally make it faster than you ever made it before, have all the deliciousness that you used to love.

00:05:57.430 --> 00:06:06.230
This is another one of those recipes that is going to blow your mind, not only because of the delicious flavor, but the fact that you can get it made so fast.

00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:14.708
I mean, while your toast is toasting, you throw a couple of ingredients into your high speed blender blend, pour into a pan and heat it till bubbly.

00:06:14.708 --> 00:06:15.250
It's done.

00:06:15.250 --> 00:06:16.273
That's it.

00:06:17.156 --> 00:06:30.144
There's no more trying to dissolve some flour and some nasty animal grease and trying to get it to where it doesn't have lumps in it and pouring it in there and having it splatter everywhere and make your stove disgusting, where you have to clean up nasty animal fat from your stove.

00:06:30.144 --> 00:06:31.326
No, none of that.

00:06:31.326 --> 00:06:33.911
It is the easiest thing.

00:06:33.911 --> 00:06:36.242
Wrap your mind around how simple this is.

00:06:36.242 --> 00:06:38.887
Right now, we have two cookbook bundles.

00:06:38.887 --> 00:06:46.548
This recipe is in our newest one, the Thrive Cookbook Bundle, and it is worth the entire cookbook.

00:06:46.548 --> 00:06:49.394
If you grew up in the South and you are a cream gravy fan.

00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:50.605
That's all I'm going to say about that.

00:06:50.605 --> 00:06:52.278
I can attest to that 100%.

00:06:52.278 --> 00:06:53.379
I love it.

00:06:53.379 --> 00:07:09.634
We don't eat it frequently, but when you just got to have that gravy on toast and you're remembering what it was like, well, for us 40-ish, maybe more years ago, when you were a teenager eating it, this will fill the bill for you.

00:07:09.634 --> 00:07:12.007
You'll love it, you do not have to give up your favorites.

00:07:12.139 --> 00:07:14.446
And you won't feel exhausted all day after you eat it either.

00:07:14.446 --> 00:07:18.466
If you're eating it on something like Ezekiel bread, you won't and you won't believe how amazing it is.

00:07:18.466 --> 00:07:23.374
But I have to say my favorite way is not even eating it on bread.

00:07:23.374 --> 00:07:28.867
I know this is a toast episode, but just hang with me for a minute.

00:07:29.716 --> 00:07:30.519
I love it.

00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:31.461
I know where you're headed.

00:07:31.523 --> 00:07:34.684
Yes, I love it over freshly sliced tomatoes.

00:07:34.684 --> 00:07:36.355
Slice up those tomatoes.

00:07:36.355 --> 00:07:39.324
If you never did this as a southerner, you need to do it now.

00:07:39.324 --> 00:07:44.326
Slice up some tomatoes, juicy when they taste just absolutely delicious.

00:07:44.326 --> 00:07:50.379
And once the gravy is done and it's bubbly and thick, let it cool for a minute because it thickens up as it cools a little bit.

00:07:50.379 --> 00:07:53.209
Put that over those tomatoes.

00:07:53.209 --> 00:07:55.456
Just the gravy straight over the tomatoes.

00:07:55.456 --> 00:08:00.404
Put some pepper on there black pepper, it is amazing.

00:08:00.404 --> 00:08:06.482
And if you want to go next level, sprinkle some of our tofu bacon on top of that.

00:08:06.482 --> 00:08:08.665
It it is amazing.

00:08:08.725 --> 00:08:11.649
That recipe is also in the Thrive Cookbook bundle.

00:08:11.649 --> 00:08:15.283
Again, you can grab that at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:08:15.283 --> 00:08:20.302
But listen, once you get the right recipes, everything is going to change for you.

00:08:20.302 --> 00:08:23.014
You will fall in love with eating this way.

00:08:23.014 --> 00:08:28.721
So if you haven't tried any of those things, or some of those things, we highly recommend that you try those.

00:08:28.721 --> 00:08:32.826
And the next one we absolutely love Take your toast.

00:08:32.826 --> 00:08:35.830
Top it with Velnita cheese.

00:08:35.830 --> 00:08:42.515
So funny, my daughter named Velnita.

00:08:42.515 --> 00:08:43.817
If y'all haven't heard the story, our youngest daughter named it.

00:08:43.817 --> 00:08:44.118
It's hilarious.

00:08:44.118 --> 00:08:45.259
So I said what should I name this cheese when I made it?

00:08:45.259 --> 00:08:47.761
Because it's gradable but it's soft, and so she.

00:08:47.761 --> 00:08:52.147
So she says Velnita because it's like Velveeta.

00:08:52.147 --> 00:08:57.023
So I've said before you know, we can't use that name like out if we were to bring the product to market.

00:08:57.062 --> 00:09:01.542
we're not going to call it Velnita, but we named it that so that you would know what it's like.

00:09:01.542 --> 00:09:07.220
It's kind of like Velveeta, without any of the nasty ingredients that is in processed cheese.

00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:14.046
Again another thing you're going to throw in your high speed blender boom done I mean literally within five minutes.

00:09:14.046 --> 00:09:17.881
It's boiling on the stove should be less than that and it's done.

00:09:17.881 --> 00:09:25.836
And you can either boil it less time if you don't want it gradable, and it can be like a nacho cheese, although we also have a nacho cheese sauce.

00:09:25.836 --> 00:09:26.759
That's amazing.

00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:29.445
That I is in the original cookbook bundle.

00:09:29.445 --> 00:09:30.347
It is incredible.

00:09:30.347 --> 00:09:34.801
Totally different ingredients, different taste Also incredible.

00:09:34.801 --> 00:09:38.785
But we won't go there right now because we could do a whole episode on that nacho cheese alone.

00:09:39.034 --> 00:09:51.297
But this Velnita if you take it and put it on some toast, this is one of our older daughter's favorites, with some fresh slices of tomato and that tofu bacon, that also is really, really good.

00:09:51.297 --> 00:09:53.042
And she likes to have more savory things.

00:09:53.042 --> 00:10:01.557
Some people like sweet for breakfast, but she prefers savory, so she'll eat something like that for breakfast or a salad, as opposed to a pancake or a waffle.

00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:03.363
Let me just throw this in there.

00:10:03.363 --> 00:10:16.663
I know we're talking about toast here and buttered toast, but if you like waffles and pancakes or you're looking for an alternative to bread and you just don't like Ezekiel bread, you can do the same things that we're talking about adding to your toast.

00:10:16.663 --> 00:10:26.291
You can add it to the Power on Plants, waffles and pancakes, use that as your bread base and put these toppings on there.

00:10:26.711 --> 00:10:27.772
I just took it next level.

00:10:27.772 --> 00:10:28.371
Did you hear that?

00:10:28.371 --> 00:10:30.996
Yeah, base and put these toppings on there.

00:10:30.996 --> 00:10:31.597
I just took it next level.

00:10:31.597 --> 00:10:31.979
Did you hear that?

00:10:31.979 --> 00:10:35.166
Can you imagine if you have a waffle or a pancake or toast Imagine all three.

00:10:35.166 --> 00:10:39.202
You could put any of these toppings on our waffle and our pancake.

00:10:39.202 --> 00:10:40.727
It will blow your mind.

00:10:40.727 --> 00:10:47.405
We make sandwiches with our waffle recipe and literally five minutes the waffles are cooking, or less, maybe less.

00:10:47.405 --> 00:10:48.816
Again, it's one of those things.

00:10:48.816 --> 00:10:53.176
You throw it all in the blender, you pour it up on your waffle iron, you pour it up on your griddle.

00:10:53.176 --> 00:10:54.437
It's that easy.

00:10:54.437 --> 00:10:56.422
It really is unbelievable.

00:10:56.743 --> 00:10:58.787
And the main grain in it is oats.

00:10:59.067 --> 00:11:00.756
That's in the gluten-free one, absolutely.

00:11:00.756 --> 00:11:03.640
We do have one recipe that's offered in our cookbook bundles.

00:11:03.640 --> 00:11:07.267
That is for those of you who are still eating wheat.

00:11:07.267 --> 00:11:13.403
So we do have a wheat-based one as well, and if you do that, make sure that you're using a whole wheat flour.

00:11:13.403 --> 00:11:15.226
That's super, super important.

00:11:15.226 --> 00:11:17.317
But this is the thing.

00:11:17.317 --> 00:11:18.942
Just wrap your mind around that for a minute.

00:11:19.423 --> 00:11:30.791
If I don't like Ezekiel bread and Jared and Anita started talking about Ezekiel bread at the beginning of this all I'm picturing is these toppings on Ezekiel bread, and maybe I've turned it off because now I didn't want Ezekiel bread.

00:11:30.791 --> 00:11:32.573
But you stop yourself short.

00:11:32.573 --> 00:11:37.044
How many times do you stop yourself short, picturing one ingredient or one thing?

00:11:37.044 --> 00:11:43.738
This is why I'm so excited about the course coming up, because you're going to have ideas for different ways to do these types of things.

00:11:43.738 --> 00:11:45.846
Like, you don't just have to think about toast.

00:11:45.846 --> 00:11:49.499
You can start thinking about waffles and pancakes now as your bread.

00:11:50.059 --> 00:12:00.373
Yes, it's going to open up so many possibilities for you that you were actually eating limited before and you didn't realize it.

00:12:00.373 --> 00:12:03.534
You thought this way was going to limit you, but it's actually freedom.

00:12:03.534 --> 00:12:06.131
But isn't that the way in life?

00:12:06.131 --> 00:12:19.269
Sometimes, like I think our enemy has a little handle in that, where he plants these ideas in our lives, throughout our lives, that the stuff that's good for us is going to be difficult or not all that great, like we won't enjoy it.

00:12:19.269 --> 00:12:30.075
When really, that's freedom, that's where our joy will come from, while he's telling us that where we are or where we were before, we'll want to go back to that because this could not possibly be as good.

00:12:30.075 --> 00:12:31.831
He doesn't want you to be free.

00:12:32.325 --> 00:12:33.626
Like we'll need a cheat day.

00:12:34.006 --> 00:12:34.288
Right.

00:12:34.628 --> 00:12:40.437
Because obviously going into this is not going to be good enough to sustain me, so occasionally I'll need a cheat day.

00:12:40.437 --> 00:12:42.318
Nothing could be further from the truth.

00:12:42.318 --> 00:12:47.342
No, we would never imagine having a cheat day, because we love what we eat.

00:12:47.342 --> 00:12:50.191
It is that delicious, it is that satisfying.

00:12:50.424 --> 00:12:52.570
I promise you it's not because we're so disciplined.

00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:54.234
We're powering through for all these years.

00:12:54.234 --> 00:12:55.477
That just doesn't work.

00:12:55.477 --> 00:12:56.888
Powering through does not work.

00:12:56.888 --> 00:13:00.596
It should not be a concept that you carry forward in your plant-based journey.

00:13:00.596 --> 00:13:05.475
You must learn how to create the life that you want to live.

00:13:05.475 --> 00:13:07.986
That's especially important with plant-based eating.

00:13:07.986 --> 00:13:13.567
You've got to create the things that make you want to do this, that help you to enjoy it.

00:13:13.668 --> 00:13:35.008
Naturally, if you free up your time and it tastes great and the cleanup is simpler and your body feels better, and all of a sudden, now you're building that business that you dreamed of for years, or you're taking your current business to the next level, or you're finally able to full-on play with the children in your life, like you've only been able to dream of doing before.

00:13:35.008 --> 00:13:37.254
But now you actually can do those things.

00:13:37.254 --> 00:13:42.475
You're not just looking at travel brochures, you're actually taking the trips and fully enjoying them.

00:13:42.475 --> 00:13:44.831
That is what this is all about.

00:13:44.831 --> 00:13:48.056
So we want to find these replacements.

00:13:48.056 --> 00:13:55.110
It's super important, and those are the things that I'm so excited about showing you in the future, where you can actually see it.

00:13:55.110 --> 00:13:56.410
I cannot wait for that.

00:13:56.410 --> 00:13:58.351
Okay, we're moving on.

00:13:58.351 --> 00:14:05.432
The next topping is hummus, or possibly even hummus and cucumber, if you want to think kind of Mediterranean style.

00:14:05.432 --> 00:14:09.436
There's pretty much nothing I don't like hummus on, maybe a dessert.

00:14:09.436 --> 00:14:11.284
Maybe I might not like it on dessert.

00:14:11.586 --> 00:14:16.778
Although we have used it in desserts before or as a dessert.

00:14:17.424 --> 00:14:30.465
Brownie, batter, hummus, right, so you really could use it for just about anything you can, as long as you haven't put onion and garlic in the beans when you're cooking them, or you've already pre-made the hummus as a traditional hummus, because then you're not going to put that in a dessert.

00:14:30.465 --> 00:14:31.686
Well, no, that probably wouldn't be too desirable.

00:14:31.686 --> 00:14:32.606
That's not a good idea.

00:14:32.886 --> 00:14:38.912
But if you want those hummus recipes that are desserts, you can find those in the cookbook bundles, because I share those there as well.

00:14:38.912 --> 00:14:40.832
But let's get back to the topic.

00:14:40.832 --> 00:14:45.716
Okay we could talk whole food plant-based with you all day long, and that's what I'm looking forward to doing.

00:14:45.716 --> 00:14:48.158
But right now we have to stay on track.

00:14:48.178 --> 00:14:49.480
So hummus on toast.

00:14:49.539 --> 00:14:50.341
Hummus on toast.

00:14:50.421 --> 00:14:51.322
Or waffle.

00:14:51.442 --> 00:14:53.044
Or waffle or pancake.

00:14:53.044 --> 00:15:00.538
Next we have tahini and apples and a bit of date paste or date syrup.

00:15:00.538 --> 00:15:04.594
Yum, that's kind of like an apple pie toast.

00:15:04.594 --> 00:15:09.326
I don't know how you talk about what that's like, but that tahini is buttery.

00:15:09.326 --> 00:15:17.173
There's nothing quite like tahini and the butteriness that you can get, so spreading a thin layer of that on your toast.

00:15:17.173 --> 00:15:21.214
If you can't eat the nut butters maybe you have an allergy or someone in your family does.

00:15:21.214 --> 00:15:25.527
Tahini is a wonderful thing to use on your toast and the apples.

00:15:25.527 --> 00:15:30.092
You could even add some cinnamon and things like that or other spices like that to your mix.

00:15:30.092 --> 00:15:32.106
You know we're coming up on fall pumpkin pie.

00:15:32.106 --> 00:15:34.554
Spice would be great on that combo.

00:15:38.965 --> 00:15:39.607
And tahini, if you've never had.

00:15:39.607 --> 00:15:43.381
It has a consistency of a peanut butter or a thinner peanut butter, but the flavor is not quite as strong.

00:15:43.381 --> 00:15:50.097
It's a more subtle flavor, so you might not think it would go well with something like an apple, but it really does.

00:15:50.097 --> 00:15:53.153
I mean, we've had it numerous times and it tastes amazing.

00:15:53.452 --> 00:15:53.734
All right.

00:15:53.734 --> 00:16:04.181
So there you have it, your six toppings to use instead of butter on your morning toast or delicious waffle or light and fluffy pancake.

00:16:04.181 --> 00:16:07.052
You've got so many ideas in this one episode.

00:16:07.052 --> 00:16:10.846
If you just go and implement one or two, it's going to start changing things for you.

00:16:10.846 --> 00:16:14.534
Number one avocado and tomato or guacamole.

00:16:14.534 --> 00:16:16.399
Number two a nut butter and a fruit.

00:16:16.399 --> 00:16:23.376
Number three the delicious power on plants gravy and tomatoes or just tomatoes.

00:16:23.376 --> 00:16:27.967
Number four Valnita cheese, tomato and tofu bacon.

00:16:27.967 --> 00:16:31.135
Number five hummus or hummus and cucumber.

00:16:31.135 --> 00:16:36.289
Number six tahini apples and a little date syrup or date paste.

00:16:36.289 --> 00:16:43.133
And if you stuck with this this long, you know I'm gonna give you a bonus, because I love bonuses.

00:16:43.673 --> 00:16:52.553
My personal favorite is topping my toast or my pancake or my waffle with tofu scramble.

00:16:52.553 --> 00:16:56.660
Not any tofu scramble, not the tofu scramble, that's tofu and a little orange in it.

00:16:56.660 --> 00:16:57.104
Like Jared said, orange does not make tofu into tofu scramble.

00:16:57.104 --> 00:16:57.639
Not any tofu scramble, not the tofu scramble, that's tofu and a little orange in it.

00:16:57.639 --> 00:17:02.342
Like Jared said, orange does not make tofu into tofu scramble or taste like eggs.

00:17:03.265 --> 00:17:05.594
Because the color orange is not a flavor.

00:17:06.265 --> 00:17:14.352
Absolutely, adding just a little bit of turmeric is not going to make your tofu taste like eggs, no matter how orange you make them.

00:17:14.352 --> 00:17:15.755
Okay, it's not going to.

00:17:15.755 --> 00:17:23.592
Or if you put just and people add just a little bit to kind of give it that yellowish color, and it does give it a little flavor, it does give that visual appeal.

00:17:24.265 --> 00:17:27.875
But if you want it to taste like scrambled eggs, that it will not.

00:17:27.875 --> 00:17:30.684
Okay, just take my sister-in-law, for example.

00:17:30.684 --> 00:17:31.830
I have to share this story.

00:17:31.830 --> 00:17:37.998
You may have heard it before, but I have to share it Because she used to tell me Anita, I do not like tofu scramble, I just don't like it.

00:17:37.998 --> 00:17:40.313
And I said, look, how have you made it?

00:17:40.313 --> 00:17:44.656
And she told me all the way the other recipes have made it in the past that I've seen online.

00:17:44.904 --> 00:17:54.411
It's basically you add some turmeric, you might add a little onion and garlic, a few other spices, maybe a little black salt to make it taste a little like egg and it's going to taste like tofu.

00:17:54.411 --> 00:18:00.740
And so you try it because experts are telling you and you think it's going to taste like your scrambled eggs that you used to love.

00:18:00.740 --> 00:18:07.830
It's not because there's nothing in there to replicate the yolk for you, you need it.

00:18:07.830 --> 00:18:16.434
So the hollandaise sauce in our Power on Plants cookbook I created that because we wanted our tofu scramble to taste like eggs and it makes it taste like scrambled eggs.

00:18:16.434 --> 00:18:23.708
It will make all the difference for you because you have to have something that's creamy and buttery in it that will replicate an egg yolk.

00:18:23.868 --> 00:18:32.894
If you don't, the color orange or the yellowishness that the turmeric is going to give your tofu crumbles is not going to make it taste like egg.

00:18:32.894 --> 00:18:36.269
And then you're going to think why do I keep quote falling off the wagon that that's what we hear all the time?

00:18:36.269 --> 00:18:46.477
This is why it's happening to you, because you don't have those good replications, you don't have the right substitutions, be it ingredients or total meals.

00:18:46.477 --> 00:18:49.553
But once you find those, everything is going to change.

00:18:49.553 --> 00:19:01.615
So my personal favorite topping for my morning toast when I eat toast, is tofu scramble, made the power on plants way with our hollandaise sauce and maybe even a little salsa.

00:19:01.615 --> 00:19:04.262
Sometimes, I might add, like salsa and black beans.

00:19:04.564 --> 00:19:13.068
You could do all kinds of things, just dress it up yeah, make it the way you like it and then you are going to love this way of living.

00:19:13.068 --> 00:19:22.335
Friend Jared, and I want you to come right now to join us inside our free group podcast insiders experience at poweronplantscom forward slash P-I-E.

00:19:22.335 --> 00:19:32.586
That's poweronplantscom forward slash pie In there we want you to share just a quick pick of a new toast topping that you're trying.

00:19:32.586 --> 00:19:36.615
We cannot wait to hear all about it and to get to know you more.

00:19:36.615 --> 00:19:43.867
We're praying for you, we love you and we hope you have an incredible week, sunshine, and we'll see you again very soon.

00:19:43.867 --> 00:19:44.468
Thank you.
