    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!

    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.

      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

      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 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.

    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!

    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.

    Most morning I make a bag of cruciferous crunch from Trader Joe’s and a handful of broccoli. Instant Pot - Pressure mode for ZERO minutes with a Quick Release. Then drizzle some good (California Balsamic) vinegar on top. Other days I eat oatmeal. I think I’m going to start adding my oatmeal to my veggies. ❤️💪🏻🥦🥬🥒🍲

      So Bella BG I’ve started making a savory version of oatmeal that I really like. Normally I cook a large batch of steel cut oats in my Instant Pot I eat that days and refrigerate the rest. The next morning I water sauté onions, mushrooms, add steamed broccoli, the cooked oats, and some tamari. It is so delicious!!!

    Great ideas as always. Could you also do a video on how to store greens. There are so many pictures on Pinterest and Instagram that are fancy beautiful with greens just laying loose in the fridge but realistically they don't last a day if they're not covered. I struggle with keeping kale and cilantro could you please do a video of how to store greens please.

      Catfish Cut off a small bit of the cilantro stems then place into a jar or glass of water, cover with a plastic bag and store for weeks in the frig, especially if they were bought at the farmer's market and just picked fresh.

      Catfish. Wrap them in paper toweling before you put them in the fridge.

    I cut my greens with scissors (in a glass bowl). Sometimes I cut the whole salad with the scissors.
