    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!

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.

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.

It has a rich supply of nutrients comparable to its green-colored relatives in the cruciferous 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.

    @jackiehorn3724 4 роки тому +18

    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.
