I'm so grateful that I learned to make savory oatmeal with Anne Esselstyn. I've had oatmeal with kale almost every morning since I learned that recipe. I had a small heart attack almost 10 years ago. I found Whole Foods Plant-based eating about 2.5 years ago. Since then, I've lost over 75 lbs., and the doctor has taken me off all heart medications. Greens, greens, greens... and they MUST be anointed with a good quality balsamic vinegar. :-) Thank you so much Esselstyn family!
JAMANI try making Jill Nussinow’s Smoky Cheezy Steel Cut Oats. My husband is an omnivore and he always asks me to make it. It has sweet potato, kale, green onion, parsley, carrot, celery in it. It is soooo good! It is in her book Vegan Under Pressure for the Instant Pot.
Flakseed meal, Pine Chunks, and we drank it. My grandson was able to overcome his own Malady after an accident at College. God is Great. Thank You Ladies
oh my GOSH how has RUclips just NOW tossed me this gem!?! I've been part of the Plantstrong fam for so many years and LOVE these two! I'm a wfpb chef and medical nutrition specialist and live by the teachings of this RN and her MD dad and this is the most fun, educational and adorable cooking show ever! Thank you so much ladies!
@@cr3296 I live in hot climate more than 3 years and I go to sun everyday for hours. I eat lots of saturated animal fat, livers etc. I know lots of polish people with super dry skin but never really exposed to sun
I absolutely love this video and feel grateful for finding your channel this morning!!! You all are so real, nothing fancy, just common sense, a real house, real cooking utensils, real women (my age, thank you!) and you really inspire me to buy even more greens and eat them all day long! Thank you, ladies!!!
Hi Ladies, I am 77 years young senior lady. ( TEXAS ) I am using your recipes. I found you both thru Chef AJ youtube shows. I am switiching to plant based. FYi i am Italian, but I am determined. Thank you. So Much. GOD Bless.
I love your kitchen! It’s filled from top to bottom with healthy beautiful things- along with great natural light from those windows! So many cooking videos look like no one has ever stepped into the kitchen they use. What a shame. The kitchen is the center of a happy healthy home! (And thanks for the tips for getting more greens into our days - they are as beautiful as they are healthy!
one of my favorite breakfasts is sprouted bread toasted, a thin layer of miso, red pepper hummus, some avocado, sauerkraut & tomato, topped with arugula
I just found this channel, and I'm soo grateful 😊 you both make me feel calm and okay about getting older and getting healthier. Everything's gunna be okay!
I actually really enjoyed watching you cook because there were so many gems that I needed, I toss the stems of broccoli not knowing I should be eating it, Handfuls is a good form of measure, eating beet greens (they usually get tossed), rotation on all greens and not fixating on one. I need more like this to teach me true plant based cooking and eating. Cant wait to go back and watch old videos to learn more
YAY for greens! YAY for Dr. Esselstyn! Ate oats AND barley for breakfast today...! Ate greens for lunch and dinner! Thank you! I feel great at 62...no meds...no sick days in over 14 years!
Oh, my! I am so glad I stumbled upon these ladies! They are fantastic! And I love your dad, I actually understood his scientific explaination of why to eat those greens.
I make Ginger's magic cheeze sauce. Boil a head of cauliflower, 1/2 an onion, 1-2 cloves garlic, a carrot, a pinch of Italian herbs, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Puree with 1 T lemon juice and 1/4 c nutritional yeast. It's great on nearly any dinner bowl and such an easy way to get in the greens.
I'm cooking for 2. Ginger's Magic Cheese Sauce sounds like it would make a large quantity. Does it store well? Also, when you say you put it on a dinner bowl do you mean salad or a stir fry (most likely oil free)?
I know the Magic Cheeses Sauce has no greens in it but I'm asking what do you put it on. I'm new to this, so what is in your "dinner Bowl"? Is it a salad, or some sort of entree like a bowl of rice, beans and veggies? I guess I'm asking how you use the Magic Cheese sauce, what sort of things do you use it for. Thank you.
Almost any greens are great steamed with turmeric and ginger. Take turmeric and ginger roots and shave thin slices off them with a peeler (or just chop up finely with a sharp knife) then sprinkle through the greens in the steamer. When they are cooked add a little soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Mmmm! If you don’t have fresh ginger and turmeric roots you could make a dressing with ground ginger, ground turmeric, cider vinegar, tahini and some crushed garlic. Greens taste great tossed in that after they come out of the steamer because it is all the same flavours.
Thank you so much for such a fantastic recipe(?)LOL, the best are just thrown together in a moment..I am definitely trying this immediately--Thanks again..
I put oat milk in the blender with two handfuls of spinach or whatever green I have on hand. Add Tumeric, pepper and cinnamon then pour over my oatmeal. I also LOVE beets. I slice them very thin and air fry them. They are crispy like chips and have a natural salty sweet taste.
Me neither!! I'm going to give it a try. Honestly, it sounds weird having only considered oatmeal a sweet thing. We eat them with berries and so that is at least healthy, but per Dr. E we are putting more greens in our diet so I'm all over trying it! Thanks so much ladies for this info!
My favorite breakfast is toasted whole wheat bread spread with roasted sweet potato (from my weekly batch-bake) and a big handful of whatever greens I have handy. I spice it up with various seasoning blends and sometimes a little sriracha or vegan kimchi. Great start to the day.
Hi! Love your videos! I take the stripped kale stems and dehydrate them...pulverize once dry and throw it into whatever needs a vitamin greens boost! The sky is the limit!
@@nmccutcheon2243 Or use the kale stems in a veggie stock. I freeze them along with other veggie waste, throw them in a crock pot, add water, cook all day, cool, then freeze in quart baggies. My recipes have more flavor and nutrients than store bought broth!
I agree with Mom. Collard stems are great. Raw collard stems make the perfect road trip snack for me. Toss ‘em in a zipper bag; I guarantee you they’ll be gone 30 miles down the road. It’s late Fall; collards are all around. Oooooeeee!
I find the mustard powder takes away from the lovely taste of the broccoli, or broccoli soup - so i just take 1/8 tsp of powdered mustard and wash it down with water, then eat the veg.
Yet another fantastic video girls! Since I was not raised eating all these nutritious foods, I need all the education I can get on how the different types of greens look and how to prepare and cook them. Thanks for more tips on healthier eating! Thanks for all you do!
I'm a huge fan of using raw collard greens (with the middle vein shaved close to the leaf) as wraps. I just julienne carrots, beets, green onions, beans, peppers and avocado/hummus and wrap it all up like a burrito. delicious
You ladies are so enjoyable to watch. Your a great team. I wish me and my daughter had this wonderful together spirit. I appreciate the info. I will start eating more and many greens.
I finely grate cauliflower and put it liberally all over my green salads, It looks like rice, but has all the flavour and goodness you would expect and leaves more room on the plate for other delicious greens. If I use a sour lemon dressing, which I love, I will place a few small, sweet pineapple chunks in the salad, as well as some Japanese-style pickled ginger slices. These flavours burst in the mouth from time to time and make a lovely contrast to the sour of the dressing. I love these ladies. They inspire me every time I see them. Thank you.
Romaine is good to roll various foods in for hand held munch! Have also seen people taken bottom part that was broken off, put in water and grow more romaine in their apts! Thank you so very much for the help I really can use it.
AWESOME video, I've been growing so much Arugula, I put it in my salad, and, it's like a tonic for my tummy, no more heart burn, or nasty burp ups! thank you so much for sharing!
Steam the greens, then drink the "green tea", don't throw it away, it tastes great and is loaded with vitamins, it can also be used in broths and soups
Please don;t cry. Juice the vegetables..and be happy or make a fruit smoothie . I just finished a lovely grape/papaya/pineapple/grapefruit and lettuce smoothie. U would not need to spend so much time eating either
@@spin564 hi..do u know that farmers engage in some unscrupulous behaviours for profit?..they feed the animals chicken poop to build muscle bulk, then they feed the animals limestone to counteract the effects of ammonia from the chicken poop. ..just awful how inhumanely animals are treated.. I kid u not..do ur own internet searches..grow ur own vegetables
@A M ...a blender is good too..breaking up the cellulose in the green leaves is important for digestion...or u will have to chew chew chew for hours to get the full benefit of a large green salad...u could add chickpeas/lentils/green beans or seeds to ur blended fruits too..make it a meal, especially prior to going to work ..be healthy..be happy.
Thank you, Anne and Jane! Your videos are so fun and educational. You’re both refreshing and real in a sea of polished, plant-based RUclips’rs. Pls keep teaching!
Thank you! I'm so happy to see a video all about greens! One thing I didn't realize until recently (not sure why) is that cauliflower leaves are great to eat, too. :)
great tipps! My favorit ways of sneaking in vegetables are: 1. making a porridge without oats, just greated parsnips cooked in coconut milk with some spices and then topped with raspberries. 2. Mixing greated zucchini under overnight oats 3. chocolate beet cake 4. chocolate mousse made from avocado . . . . and my favorit dish that kinda hides greens is colcannon, mashed potatos with cabbage and leeks mixed into it
I'm an acid queen like Ann. That description of a kale-lemon-hummus sandwich made me crazy. Can't WAIT to try it. And I'm already bookmarking all the vinegars at The Olive Tap, thanks to Ann. 🥰
I only recently started adding stalks from broccoli and stems from greens to my cooked or raw greens. But I wasn’t wasting them. I saved them along with other veggie scraps and onion/garlic skins for homemade veggie broth. Now I’ll use only half in the broth and add the rest to my main dish! Thanks!
Beautiful :) One tip for cooked spinach, or other greens, is instead of pressing it in a colander to drain it, press it in a potato ricer. The spinach remains intact but the water disappears quickly. It's perfect for casseroles or other dishes when you don't want excess moisture.
This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen on the how-to's of plant based eating. I have struggled and struggled to get enough greens every day. I am working to become a healthy plant based eater--after years of undereating vegetables and after years of almost no greens. Now I feel I have practical ways to incorporate the greens. But one thing...could you make a Greens, Greens, Greens! followup video with more ways to incorporate the greens on a daily basis (and sometimes to sneak them in)--and perhaps after that-- two or three more videos on exactly the same topic (actually as many videos as you want on the same topic). I say this because getting enough greens is clearly so critical, as Dr. Esselstyn emphasizes. It is so easy to be a vegan and sadly-- very unhealthy. Thank you again for this video--and for all your other wonderful videos!
Inspired! I'm going put tomorrow and going to take better care of myself and my heart because your enthusiasm is so contagious and your salad looks so delicious and who knew I could peel a beer that way!! Thanks!
This was such a fun video. I learned a lot! It is tough to cover all the info needed - but I'd suggest some mention of washing up all those leaves. There can be dirt/grit that needs to be removed and managing the washing part is probably a video all in itself. It just comes down to a good routine.
Glad I'm not the only one who notice that they didn't wash the greens or even mention it. It seems that I spend a lot of time washing and drying greens so I often buy the packaged "triple washed" greens.
I streamed this a month ago on my television and couldn't remember the title of the video, butI had to comment.i see it is truly a family affair so awesome, just got my engine 2 rescue diet book, by Rip. Been transitioning to plant based since 12/18/2019 and have lost 12 pounds basically standing still. I am really enjoying learning from all of you!Thank you! - Hope
I eat a mix of veggies with my oatmeal every morning. I love to eat it savory with a mix of chilies, garlic and ginger that is minced and stored in a jar with rice vinegar and water. I add a spoon of the mixture and some soy sauce and it’s delicious. Glad to see Ann eats greens with her oatmeal. I steam up zucchini, green beans, kale, red pepper and store it in the fridge to add to the oatmeal in the morning. Love morning veggies!
Just FYI - soy sauce is an excitotoxin. It literally destroys brain cells. As does Braggs Aminos that people think is better. I use coconut aminos. No msg.
I was just diagnosed with T2D. I happened to find your video by mistake. I want to thank you for saving my life. I am plant based, loosing weight and all because of your inspirational videos.
HERE is the list of greens that she said that was on her dad's t-shirt, bok choy, swiss chard, kale , collard greens, turnip greens , mustard greens, beet greens, napa cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, califlower (which to me is not a green) , cilantro, parsley , spinach, arugula , AND asparagus hahaha..
Considered a green due to its plant family. Cauliflower is cruciferous vegetable, a plant family that includes arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, kale, radishes, turnips and watercress. It has a rich supply of nutrients comparable to its green-colored relatives in the cruciferous family.
I really enjoyed your video, especially how you two sisters work together. I heard about your father from a friend that has cancer and has radically lowered his blood presure, but I had the question "HOW?" and your video helped a huge bunch. I'm going to watch more of them as I enjoyed this one very much. Thank YOU for continuing your dad's work, some of us might live better because of it.
Cauliflower bechamel in lasagne! Break up a whole head of cauliflower and boil in a few cups of water then, when it's soft, blend it with a quarter cup of the water, quarter cup of plant milk and half teaspoon of nutmeg. Use as the white layers in lasagne. Delicious.
Boy do we need this channel.... We all need a good kick up the bum when it comes to buying / eating MORE GREENS !!!!!! Thank you I'll definitely be back☝️. Lovely women homely.
I use a large bowl and chopper tool..’ like subway uses for their chop salads... throw in all the greens you like...perfectly massaged kale, etc... love it👌
Ann, I love the broccoli stem! Anytime I cut up broccoli for meals, I always save the stem for myself to eat while cooking. Maybe it’s weird, I don’t know, but I love it!
I am also an acid queen....lol...enjoy all the various infused balsamics, lemon juice, lime, vinegars, etc. on my greens. Even love the old fashioned pepper sauce from the south, vinegar with peppers soaked in it...yummy! Due to health issues I have almost no stomach left, and cannot fit very large amts. of food into my body at a time. So, in order to eat plant based, I eat 5-6 small meals a day. And I do eat 2# greens a day. I also eat my daily oats...lol..( which I cook an entire weeks worth of oats in my pressure cooker on prep day ) .But on my prep day each week, I take some onion, sometimes some liquid smoke, depending on what I am making, or some smoked paprika. water saute the onions in this to give the greens a smoke flavor, then I put in a can of beans, type depending on what green I am cooking, then add a 1# bag of frozen greens, or fresh. Simmer until greens are tender, and divide it up into two servings. I make enough of this for two servings every day, and put into my fridge. I know not everyone thinks smoothies are good for you, but for me, it helps me get enough veggies, etc. down. I take two fruit servings, frozen, ( one serving is a frozen bananna ) 1/2# of supergreens I buy and actually just put the whole bag into freezer, and add just a bit of water, and make myself a frozen smoothie. I have a large thermos, and I sip on this throughout the morning. Then I prep 7- 1# bowls of salad greens, put a paper towel on top of the salad, put lid on and put into fridge upside down, the paper towel controlls the moisture, and the salad stays fresh for a week. I also make a salad bar in bottom of my fridge, and make marinagted veggies, beans, sliced beets, onions, carrotts, whatever looked good at grocery store, Put these into square shaped bowls, and inside one of those flatter TOTES containers like you get at walmart or target. I leave the lids off ( onions or other strong smelling veggies will need their own individual lids as well ) and put a pair of tongs on the box, put a lint free kitchen towel over the top, and put the big totes lid on top. It fits on the bottom shelf of my fridge. Every day, I take out my daily salad bowl, and my salad bar. I have a big wooden bowl, I put into the wooden bowl my daily 1# salad greens, and just pick and choose from my salad bar what I want inside. I then have a mezzalune knife, and I make a large chopped salad in the wooden bowl, using the mezalune knife that fits the round shape of the wooden bowl. Chopping the salad is tasty, and gets the volume down so I can handle it. Usually in divided servings with lunch and dinner. I eat other things, but this is how I get in my daily greens, and with my 12 hour work days, I just really depend on having the prep day each week. without the prep day, I find myself slipping and not doing well on my program. So for me it is essential.
I've been seriously thinking about eating Plant foods, especially after 2 Hernia surgeries that almost killed me. After watching these 2 lovely sweet fun Ladies, I am convinced..
I finally found how to cook okra without frying so it is not slimy & so I will like it. Slice the whole stem end off & compost it. Slice the okra longways in half. The next step is where I need Jane & Ann's help to eliminate the oil so it will not burn AND a replacement for the cheese. Toss with 1 teaspoon of oil for 2 cups of okra. Sprinkle parmesan cheese dried basil, onion powder & garlic powder & pepper & bake at 350 on parchment lined cookie sheet until lightly or more crisp. Thank you for ideas to make this more healthy.
I make a big chopped green salad with all types of greens and with watercress and a bean-based dressing with tomato just before eating. At least 6 cups of salad every day.
When ann started getting mad about the broccoli stem, I started laughing. I do the same exact thing I just chop a little smaller so it still gets tender. Love it!
I love Ann. She’s what everyone’s grandmother should be telling us. Thank you for the work you ladies are doing and thank you Dr Esselstyn. I’m making changes and it’s coming along. I’m vegan now but letting go of the oil is difficult. I’ve drastically reduced although.
@ Sister Maryann: "letting go of the oil is difficult" I know, right? Have you made any progress with reducing oil? If so, please share any ideas or tips you may have. Much appreciated!
@@apropo0 I have used good quality cookware. I bought the HexClad brand and it has reduced the cooking process easier. I only use Oil as a seasoning now after things are cooked if needed and I've experimented with... "Does is taste any differently?" If it doesn't then I'm good. But there are some seasonings that I'm careful with... I notice most Americans use a ton of Cumin. My husband is from Bangladesh and I'm Cuban and a simple rule for this spice has apparently only been is the if there is No Meat [animal product] then No Cumin. So in items that call for it I either eliminate it or just add a sprinkle and substitute Coriander. Trust me on this! Just like Tumeric, most people use tooo much and it's a really strong flavor.
Well I’m sold on this idea you two ladies are the new golden girls I love your mom she so cute and running with the fork adorable green is the new fountain of youth keeps you healthy ❤️
Often for breakfast I’ll fold some chopped greens into scrambled eggs, or microwave greens briefly & layer eggs & avocado slices onto them. A favorite recipe of my mother’s was to slice cucumbers super thin & soak in VERY salty water. Once the cukes are wilted, rinse off salt, drain, & serve with a little tarragon vinegar sprinkled over. This slides down easily even if you thought you were full!
I like all parts and I almost freaked out at that part of the video lol. Even when I'm chopping it up I have a habit of eating the chopped pieces of stalk lol.
It's a tremendous feeling when you begin to see the HUGE positive outcomes of improving your diet. There are just so many. These ladies look great and have lots of energy. This is how we are meant to be. After you implement better ways of eating, your palate will also change for the better. Your cravings will decrease. In fact for me, I can no longer eat junk like doritoes, tuna fish from a can, any of that processed crap that I grew up on!
I'm so grateful that I learned to make savory oatmeal with Anne Esselstyn. I've had oatmeal with kale almost every morning since I learned that recipe. I had a small heart attack almost 10 years ago.

Whenever you steam, save and drink the steam water for a healthy mineral pick-me-up (use pure water of course).
Or you add some nutritional yeast and drink it as a hot soup in a cold day (you can add a handful of baby spinach). I always reserve it for soups
litestreamer or veggie broth for other recipes.
pot liquor
I usually give that water to my dog. He loves it!
I always wondered about that 😊

Make sure your toast is whole grain or sprouted. It's a lot better for you than whole wheat.
Do you heat up the sweet potato and greens, or do you like to eat this breakfast cold?

@@nmccutcheon2243 Or use the kale stems in a veggie stock. I freeze them along with other veggie waste, throw them in a crock pot, add water, cook all day, cool, then freeze in quart baggies. My recipes have more flavor and nutrients than store bought broth!
I eat savory oats every single day. I add mushrooms, usually any greens i have in the frig, and nutritional yeast.
Thank you so much Ann!
My favorite part is when Ann found the stems Jane hid under the Napa cabbage, chopped them up and tossed them in the salad, lmao
Lol no prisoners!
I also don’t get the phobia for stems. If you have teeth, you can chew them.
Omg I didn’t realize until I read this lol. She is ruthless
I agree with Mom. Collard stems are great. Raw collard stems make the perfect road trip snack for me. Toss ‘em in a zipper bag; I guarantee you they’ll be gone 30 miles down the road. It’s late Fall; collards are all around. Oooooeeee!
They call arugula “rocket” in some parts of the States too. Usually it’s said by the older folks. Hey, what am I sayin’? I AM an older folk!😸
I love the passion you both have for eating greens 🥬 Greens are a wonderful food.
Sulforaphane! Always chop your kale at least 45 minutes before steaming or cooking it! Love these ideas.
I find the mustard powder takes away from the lovely taste of the broccoli, or broccoli soup - so i just take 1/8 tsp of powdered mustard and wash it down with water, then eat the veg.
I learned that from Dr. Greger as well..
I've done this since learning from Dr. Greger, too!
Yet another fantastic video girls! Since I was not raised eating all these nutritious foods, I need all the education I can get on how the different types of greens look and how to prepare and cook them. Thanks for more tips on healthier eating! Thanks for all you do!
I'm a huge fan of using raw collard greens (with the middle vein shaved close to the leaf) as wraps. I just julienne carrots, beets, green onions, beans, peppers and avocado/hummus and wrap it all up like a burrito. delicious
I do this too! I love it.
Wish collard greens were more available in my area. We only get them at specialty stores during the summer.
You ladies are so enjoyable to watch. Your a great team. I wish me and my daughter had this wonderful together spirit. I appreciate the info. I will start eating more and many greens.
I finely grate cauliflower and put it liberally all over my green salads, It looks like rice, but has all the flavour and goodness you would expect and leaves more room on the plate for other delicious greens. If I use a sour lemon dressing, which I love, I will place a few small, sweet pineapple chunks in the salad, as well as some Japanese-style pickled ginger slices. These flavours burst in the mouth from time to time and make a lovely contrast to the sour of the dressing.
I love these ladies. They inspire me every time I see them. Thank you.
pds002, You can cook for me anytime.
Want a sour lemon taste??? Use sorrel greens or Sumac powder!
pds002 May I ask whether you buy the pickled ginger or make your own? I’d love a recipe for this.
Romaine is good to roll various foods in for hand held munch! Have also seen people taken bottom part that was broken off, put in water and grow more romaine in their apts! Thank you so very much for the help I really can use it.
AWESOME video, I've been growing so much Arugula, I put it in my salad, and, it's like a tonic for my tummy, no more heart burn, or nasty burp ups! thank you so much for sharing!
The bitter taste is excellent for bile production/liver health/good digestion!
Great video! I make collard greens. Strip them, dice the stems then water saute with onion, garlic , and jalapeno. Finish with a little vinegar😃
Steam the greens, then drink the "green tea", don't throw it away, it tastes great and is loaded with vitamins, it can also be used in broths and soups
veganmama fourgirls back in the day in the UK the gravy was made with veg cooking liquid.
I call it 'pot liquor' and I looooove it!
Drank a nice hot cup of turnip greens "pot likker" tonight after dinner. Soooo good.
Please explain how to get green tea by steaming greens?
Aren’t the vitamins killed from the heat?
I’m crying thinking about how much greens I need to eat. I will get there.
Please don;t cry. Juice the vegetables..and be happy or make a fruit smoothie . I just finished a lovely grape/papaya/pineapple/grapefruit and lettuce smoothie. U would not need to spend so much time eating either
Just eat a steak!
@@spin564 hi..do u know that farmers engage in some unscrupulous behaviours for profit?..they feed the animals chicken poop to build muscle bulk, then they feed the animals limestone to counteract the effects of ammonia from the chicken poop. ..just awful how inhumanely animals are treated.. I kid u not..do ur own internet searches..grow ur own vegetables
@A M ...a blender is good too..breaking up the cellulose in the green leaves is important for digestion...or u will have to chew chew chew for hours to get the full benefit of a large green salad...u could add chickpeas/lentils/green beans or seeds to ur blended fruits too..make it a meal, especially prior to going to work ..be healthy..be happy.
@A M ...Do u live in North America? I could send u a blender.
What fun, you two cooking together!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love these two! Always joking around, and having fun! Thank y'all for your fun, and informational videos!
I'm stuffing my home-made burritos with dark leafy greens and eating a salad a day. Plus a breakfast smoothy...
Thank you, Anne and Jane! Your videos are so fun and educational. You’re both refreshing and real in a sea of polished, plant-based RUclips’rs. Pls keep teaching!
Thank you! I'm so happy to see a video all about greens! One thing I didn't realize until recently (not sure why) is that cauliflower leaves are great to eat, too. :)
I missed that. I didn't know you could eat them! Thank you!
There are lots of desserts you can make with steamed cauliflower, from chocolate parfait to frozen cake , it’s my favourite way of sneaking them in 😉
thanks fosr that reminder. I also love a puree of brocolli, cauliflower, and water for a lovely soup meal.
great tipps!
My favorit ways of sneaking in vegetables are:
1. making a porridge without oats, just greated parsnips cooked in coconut milk with some spices and then topped with raspberries.
2. Mixing greated zucchini under overnight oats
3. chocolate beet cake
4. chocolate mousse made from avocado
. . . .
and my favorit dish that kinda hides greens is colcannon, mashed potatos with cabbage and leeks mixed into it
Can you share the cauliflower cake recipe?
I'm an acid queen like Ann. That description of a kale-lemon-hummus sandwich made me crazy. Can't WAIT to try it. And I'm already bookmarking all the vinegars at The Olive Tap, thanks to Ann. 🥰
I only recently started adding stalks from broccoli and stems from greens to my cooked or raw greens. But I wasn’t wasting them. I saved them along with other veggie scraps and onion/garlic skins for homemade veggie broth. Now I’ll use only half in the broth and add the rest to my main dish! Thanks!
Beautiful :) One tip for cooked spinach, or other greens, is instead of pressing it in a colander to drain it, press it in a potato ricer. The spinach remains intact but the water disappears quickly. It's perfect for casseroles or other dishes when you don't want excess moisture.
What’s a potato ricer?
Saute the spinach in olive oil, so tasty and no water to deal with :)
@@ReggieLouise, it's like a giant Garlic Press. It's used for making mashed potatoes quicker.
I just love you girls. You are a blessing to me. And Dr. Esselstyn you rock too!
I wish there was a "love" button for this video! Brilliant!
I love you two! You make me think of when I'm with my Sisters!! We all talk at the same time and finish each other's sentences!! GOD bless
Arugula is the best, my absolute favorite. It really has a nice kick to it. It also has insanely high levels of nitrates, much higher than beets.
Love you ladies and the bond you share, you make me giggle. Love WFPB, and the knowledge your entire family shares. Thank you bunches ❤❤❤
This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen on the how-to's of plant based eating. I have struggled and struggled to get enough greens every day. I am working to become a healthy plant based eater--after years of undereating vegetables and after years of almost no greens. Now I feel I have practical ways to incorporate the greens. But one thing...could you make a Greens, Greens, Greens! followup video with more ways to incorporate the greens on a daily basis (and sometimes to sneak them in)--and perhaps after that-- two or three more videos on exactly the same topic (actually as many videos as you want on the same topic). I say this because getting enough greens is clearly so critical, as Dr. Esselstyn emphasizes. It is so easy to be a vegan and sadly-- very unhealthy. Thank you again for this video--and for all your other wonderful videos!
Inspired! I'm going put tomorrow and going to take better care of myself and my heart because your enthusiasm is so contagious and your salad looks so delicious and who knew I could peel a beer that way!! Thanks!
This was such a fun video. I learned a lot! It is tough to cover all the info needed - but I'd suggest some mention of washing up all those leaves. There can be dirt/grit that needs to be removed and managing the washing part is probably a video all in itself. It just comes down to a good routine.
Glad I'm not the only one who notice that they didn't wash the greens or even mention it. It seems that I spend a lot of time washing and drying greens so I often buy the packaged "triple washed" greens.
When coming from your own garden, you are doing yourself a favor by eating a little dirt. Grow your microbiome!
@@shaunaj905 I don't know--lots of animals doing a lot of things in my garden!
@@chyanneever3057 Yeah, but who wants to crunch down on grit?
Love you two. Your mom is adorable! I want to eat more greens, just watching you two.
I streamed this a month ago on my television and couldn't remember the title of the video, butI had to comment.i see it is truly a family affair so awesome, just got my engine 2 rescue diet book, by Rip. Been transitioning to plant based since 12/18/2019 and have lost 12 pounds basically standing still. I am really enjoying learning from all of you!Thank you! - Hope
I love to watch the dynamic between Jane and Anne. They are a fantastic duo. Makes me miss my mom.
I eat a mix of veggies with my oatmeal every morning. I love to eat it savory with a mix of chilies, garlic and ginger that is minced and stored in a jar with rice vinegar and water. I add a spoon of the mixture and some soy sauce and it’s delicious. Glad to see Ann eats greens with her oatmeal. I steam up zucchini, green beans, kale, red pepper and store it in the fridge to add to the oatmeal in the morning. Love morning veggies!
Just FYI - soy sauce is an excitotoxin. It literally destroys brain cells. As does Braggs Aminos that people think is better. I use coconut aminos. No msg.
Patricia Foster Thanks. I have coconut aminos. I will try it!
I was just diagnosed with T2D. I happened to find your video by mistake. I want to thank you for saving my life. I am plant based, loosing weight and all because of your inspirational videos.
Watching these two interact is my favorite 😂
Same!!!!😆😆
HERE is the list of greens that she said that was on her dad's t-shirt, bok choy, swiss chard, kale , collard greens, turnip greens , mustard greens, beet greens, napa cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, califlower (which to me is not a green) , cilantro, parsley , spinach, arugula , AND asparagus hahaha..
Considered a green due to its plant family. Cauliflower is cruciferous vegetable, a plant family that includes arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, collard greens, kale, radishes, turnips and watercress. It has a rich supply of nutrients comparable to its green-colored relatives in the cruciferous family.
Wtf
thank you! That went by too fast and it was a little confusing since a few aren't greens. :)
I'm with Ann on the parsley...stems and all! Buy all colors of cauliflower and mix them together after prepping them. Enjoy raw throughout the week. ❤
Love when mom Ann bosses or corrects daughterJane . So endearing.
This has been one of my favorite videos - so useful and inspiring!
I really enjoyed your video, especially how you two sisters work together. I heard about your father from a friend that has cancer and has radically lowered his blood presure, but I had the question "HOW?" and your video helped a huge bunch. I'm going to watch more of them as I enjoyed this one very much. Thank YOU for continuing your dad's work, some of us might live better because of it.
One of them is the mom!
It's mom and daughter not sisters
Cauliflower bechamel in lasagne! Break up a whole head of cauliflower and boil in a few cups of water then, when it's soft, blend it with a quarter cup of the water, quarter cup of plant milk and half teaspoon of nutmeg. Use as the white layers in lasagne. Delicious.
Screenshot this for future reference, Thanks!
Wow. I have ever seen or heard this recipe before, trying tomorrow and yes def screenshot! TY
Boy do we need this channel.... We all need a good kick up the bum when it comes to buying / eating MORE GREENS !!!!!! Thank you I'll definitely be back☝️. Lovely women homely.
I use a large bowl and chopper tool..’ like subway uses for their chop salads...
throw in all the greens you like...perfectly massaged kale, etc... love it👌
What a great idea!
Good afternoon l eat green vegetables every day to keep me healthy and exercise and drink lots of water. You guys keep up the great work.
Ann, I love the broccoli stem! Anytime I cut up broccoli for meals, I always save the stem for myself to eat while cooking. Maybe it’s weird, I don’t know, but I love it!
I do the same 😂
Tereza Neubertová Great minds think alike 🙃
I peel the hard cover off and munch on the inner core raw. It’s good.
They are so good and I quarter them lengthwise for my dogs ....They also love raw bok choy 🐶🥦
I love you ladies instantly. I am enjoying your mom. Thank you for sharing. I need this.
This has been absolutely refreshing to watch.
The two of you are a riot! Loved watching your video and you can tell your plant based eating gals...so much energy!
"My Mom taught me how to strip" LOL!!! That's the kind of stripping I think I would be good at! Thank you both for sharing your wisdom and humor!
I'm so delighted to see this video on greens. I am up to eating my greens four times a day left overs make for the six times a day.
I am also an acid queen....lol...enjoy all the various infused balsamics, lemon juice, lime, vinegars, etc. on my greens. Even love the old fashioned pepper sauce from the south, vinegar with peppers soaked in it...yummy! Due to health issues I have almost no stomach left, and cannot fit very large amts. of food into my body at a time. So, in order to eat plant based, I eat 5-6 small meals a day. And I do eat 2# greens a day. I also eat my daily oats...lol..( which I cook an entire weeks worth of oats in my pressure cooker on prep day ) .But on my prep day each week, I take some onion, sometimes some liquid smoke, depending on what I am making, or some smoked paprika. water saute the onions in this to give the greens a smoke flavor, then I put in a can of beans, type depending on what green I am cooking, then add a 1# bag of frozen greens, or fresh. Simmer until greens are tender, and divide it up into two servings. I make enough of this for two servings every day, and put into my fridge. I know not everyone thinks smoothies are good for you, but for me, it helps me get enough veggies, etc. down. I take two fruit servings, frozen, ( one serving is a frozen bananna ) 1/2# of supergreens I buy and actually just put the whole bag into freezer, and add just a bit of water, and make myself a frozen smoothie. I have a large thermos, and I sip on this throughout the morning. Then I prep 7- 1# bowls of salad greens, put a paper towel on top of the salad, put lid on and put into fridge upside down, the paper towel controlls the moisture, and the salad stays fresh for a week. I also make a salad bar in bottom of my fridge, and make marinagted veggies, beans, sliced beets, onions, carrotts, whatever looked good at grocery store, Put these into square shaped bowls, and inside one of those flatter TOTES containers like you get at walmart or target. I leave the lids off ( onions or other strong smelling veggies will need their own individual lids as well ) and put a pair of tongs on the box, put a lint free kitchen towel over the top, and put the big totes lid on top. It fits on the bottom shelf of my fridge. Every day, I take out my daily salad bowl, and my salad bar. I have a big wooden bowl, I put into the wooden bowl my daily 1# salad greens, and just pick and choose from my salad bar what I want inside. I then have a mezzalune knife, and I make a large chopped salad in the wooden bowl, using the mezalune knife that fits the round shape of the wooden bowl. Chopping the salad is tasty, and gets the volume down so I can handle it. Usually in divided servings with lunch and dinner. I eat other things, but this is how I get in my daily greens, and with my 12 hour work days, I just really depend on having the prep day each week. without the prep day, I find myself slipping and not doing well on my program. So for me it is essential.
IMPRESSIVE, functional and efficient👋👋👋💫❤
Yep l also think the word impressive fits. Good job!
Thank you, Ann, and Jane, for a very informative show !!! God bless and keep both of you safe. Love you !
I've been seriously thinking about eating Plant foods, especially after 2 Hernia surgeries that almost killed me. After watching these 2 lovely sweet fun Ladies, I am convinced..
Cut the sugar and (processed) carbs and you’d be surprised how much better you’d feel!
I follow Dr. Esselstyn but I just found this channel. Thank you so much ladies for all the education! Your videos are wonderful.
Broccoli stems are fantastic treats for my dogs too, they love them!
Kale stems, too! In fact, my dog loves all things cruciferous--except the leaves.
I finally found how to cook okra without frying so it is not slimy & so I will like it. Slice the whole stem end off & compost it. Slice the okra longways in half. The next step is where I need Jane & Ann's help to eliminate the oil so it will not burn AND a replacement for the cheese. Toss with 1 teaspoon of oil for 2 cups of okra. Sprinkle parmesan cheese dried basil, onion powder & garlic powder & pepper & bake at 350 on parchment lined cookie sheet until lightly or more crisp. Thank you for ideas to make this more healthy.
I sprout a lot. One of my favorites is pea sprouts and beet sprouts. I was surprised that you did not add hand fulls to the salad.
i love the two of you running back and forth with the fork!! you two ladies are WONDERFUL!!
I make a big chopped green salad with all types of greens and with watercress and a bean-based dressing with tomato just before eating. At least 6 cups of salad every day.
How do I make a bean based dressing? Thank you so much.
Your mom brings joy to my heart.
When ann started getting mad about the broccoli stem, I started laughing. I do the same exact thing I just chop a little smaller so it still gets tender. Love it!
I love Ann. She’s what everyone’s grandmother should be telling us. Thank you for the work you ladies are doing and thank you Dr Esselstyn. I’m making changes and it’s coming along. I’m vegan now but letting go of the oil is difficult. I’ve drastically reduced although.
@ Sister Maryann: "letting go of the oil is difficult"
I know, right? Have you made any progress with reducing oil? If so, please share any ideas or tips you may have. Much appreciated!
@@apropo0 I have used good quality cookware. I bought the HexClad brand and it has reduced the cooking process easier. I only use Oil as a seasoning now after things are cooked if needed and I've experimented with... "Does is taste any differently?" If it doesn't then I'm good. But there are some seasonings that I'm careful with... I notice most Americans use a ton of Cumin. My husband is from Bangladesh and I'm Cuban and a simple rule for this spice has apparently only been is the if there is No Meat [animal product] then No Cumin. So in items that call for it I either eliminate it or just add a sprinkle and substitute Coriander. Trust me on this! Just like Tumeric, most people use tooo much and it's a really strong flavor.
Well I’m sold on this idea you two ladies are the new golden girls I love your mom she so cute and running with the fork adorable green is the new fountain of youth keeps you healthy ❤️
Often for breakfast I’ll fold some chopped greens into scrambled eggs, or microwave greens briefly & layer eggs & avocado slices onto them.
A favorite recipe of my mother’s was to slice cucumbers super thin & soak in VERY salty water. Once the cukes are wilted, rinse off salt, drain, & serve with a little tarragon vinegar sprinkled over. This slides down easily even if you thought you were full!
The stalk is my favorite part of broccoli!
Mine aswell! Such an intense taste, and it is much harder to over- or undercook the stem than the flower-part. I love it :).
Love broccoli
Yes, it's great! I peel it and eat it raw while waiting for the broccoli meal to finish cooking!
Right! it's the best part for dipping in hummus. So crunchy!
I like all parts and I almost freaked out at that part of the video lol. Even when I'm chopping it up I have a habit of eating the chopped pieces of stalk lol.
It's a tremendous feeling when you begin to see the HUGE positive outcomes of improving your diet. There are just so many. These ladies look great and have lots of energy. This is how we are meant to be. After you implement better ways of eating, your palate will also change for the better. Your cravings will decrease. In fact for me, I can no longer eat junk like doritoes, tuna fish from a can, any of that processed crap that I grew up on!
I always have cooked greens in the fridge ready for whatever! I love a littler dab of hummus on top!! Maybe a little diced red onion too.
I wish they had explained WHY greens are so good for the heart. Great video..
