Hey sister, if you want to know how to make whole food, plant-based eating, delicious, so that it's enjoyable and sustainable, you've come to the right place, because today we're going to share with you one simple hummus secret that might just blow your mind.

00:00:17.434 --> 00:00:20.021
Let's do this, hey sister.

00:00:20.021 --> 00:00:22.250
Welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:22.250 --> 00:00:27.592
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:27.592 --> 00:00:32.991
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:32.991 --> 00:00:39.273
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:39.273 --> 00:00:46.969
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:46.969 --> 00:00:59.148
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 the traditional route.

00:00:59.148 --> 00:01:06.412
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:06.412 --> 00:01:10.191
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:10.191 --> 00:01:17.510
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious, so you never feel deprived If you're ready to enjoy your meals.

00:01:17.510 --> 00:01:23.572
No longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.

00:01:23.572 --> 00:01:28.852
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:29.881 --> 00:02:14.629
If you are a purpose-driven Christian woman and you have things that God's placed on your heart that you want to do in this amazing life that you've been given, but you find yourself spending your days exhausted, teary-eyed, wondering why you're going through the health struggles you're going through, wondering where the help is going to come from, wondering why you can't find answers, a traditional medical route, feeling frustrated on the daily because you can't seem to do the things that you want to do, and you keep having to deal with these health struggles that make you feel exhausted and all you want is to just feel good so you can do those things.

00:02:14.629 --> 00:02:17.227
I want you to know that you're not alone.

00:02:17.227 --> 00:02:18.610
I get it.

00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:20.225
I've been there before.

00:02:20.225 --> 00:02:24.871
This was exactly my story a little over 10 years ago.

00:02:24.871 --> 00:02:34.539
I was right there in that place feeling the same way, and it was heartbreaking and it was frustrating, and I get it.

00:02:34.539 --> 00:02:36.687
I want you to know that I see you.

00:02:36.687 --> 00:02:39.008
I understand what you're going through.

00:02:39.008 --> 00:02:50.429
I know what it's like to feel those feelings, but I also want you to walk away from hearing this, knowing that God cares about you and that he does not want you to be sick.

00:02:50.429 --> 00:02:53.360
That is biblical what I'm saying to you right now.

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.186
He does not want you to be sick.

00:02:56.186 --> 00:03:06.734
His desire is for you to be well, and there are things that you can do that perhaps you haven't learned or been told that can help your body to heal.

00:03:06.734 --> 00:03:09.489
He actually created your body to heal.

00:03:09.860 --> 00:03:14.671
The frustration comes when you're seeking out help and you can't seem to get it.

00:03:14.671 --> 00:03:30.330
The frustration comes from having to deal on the daily with feeling poorly and thinking I've tried everything, I'm trying to eat healthy, I've eaten organic and grass-fed and cage-free and no hormone added, and what else am I supposed to take away?

00:03:30.330 --> 00:03:31.993
What else can I do?

00:03:31.993 --> 00:03:36.372
And it just feels sometimes like you're so alone.

00:03:36.372 --> 00:03:47.694
What I want to do is speak to you today, if that's you, and let you know that God put this message on my heart to share at the beginning of this episode, because he sees you and he cares about you.

00:03:47.694 --> 00:03:49.546
This is for you.

00:03:49.546 --> 00:03:53.631
You are loved, you are prayed for and you are seen.

00:03:53.631 --> 00:04:06.889
So if you're here, because he's shown you that whole plant foods are the things that are going to help you heal, that fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds are good for you, and we know this.

00:04:06.889 --> 00:04:11.704
Right, we've been taught this from an early age, generally by our families, especially our elders.

00:04:11.704 --> 00:04:16.396
Right, the grandparents in our family eat your fruits and veggies, those kind of things.

00:04:16.925 --> 00:04:20.636
But the frustration sets in when you don't know how to eat those foods.

00:04:20.636 --> 00:04:22.812
You think, well, I can't eat salads the rest of my life.

00:04:22.812 --> 00:04:24.130
I mean, what am I supposed to do with that?

00:04:24.130 --> 00:04:29.096
How can I ever survive eating this way and making it stick?

00:04:29.096 --> 00:04:34.952
And then the other problem is you've been told so many lies through so many avenues from our enemy.

00:04:34.952 --> 00:04:45.889
We have a common enemy who wants to steal from you, who wants to steal your health, who wants to harm you, who wants you to not feel good on the regular.

00:04:45.889 --> 00:05:14.141
He loves that, because then when you don't feel good and you can't think clearly and you're dealing with all these health struggles and you're told things like you're going to have this forever and you take that on as your identity, what happens is you feel stuck and you stay stuck and you think you have to do another miserable diet and you don't know how that's going to work, or you think you're going to have to add another medication and then another one to deal with the side effects of that medication, and you get in this vicious cycle of feeling like nothing is ever going to change.

00:05:14.141 --> 00:05:17.067
But that could not be farther from the truth.

00:05:17.829 --> 00:05:24.971
So what I want you to know today is that we care about you, we are here for you, and there are some amazing things that you can eat.

00:05:24.971 --> 00:05:29.831
It does not have to be hard when you know how to eat plant-based the sustainable way.

00:05:29.831 --> 00:05:31.415
It is not hard.

00:05:31.415 --> 00:05:41.247
It's the easiest way I can ever imagine eating when you know how it is quick, it is simple and it tastes amazing.

00:05:41.247 --> 00:05:53.444
So much so that once you have that, stacked on top of the fact that you're feeling better and better every single day, you have a winning combination for a lifestyle that is going to last.

00:05:53.444 --> 00:06:01.915
So if that was for you, take it to heart and understand that God sees you, he knows what you're going through, you are not alone.

00:06:01.915 --> 00:06:17.605
And if you are looking for a place filled with real believers who are having real struggles, who are transparent about those struggles and the victories that they're gaining through learning how to eat whole plant-based, the Power on Plants way.

00:06:17.605 --> 00:06:26.086
Come right now and join us inside of our free group that we've set up to help you get out of the situation you're in.

00:06:26.086 --> 00:06:30.274
At poweronplantscom forward slash P-I-E.

00:06:31.035 --> 00:06:38.757
Today, jared and I want to share with you one simple hummus secret that might just blow your mind.

00:06:38.757 --> 00:06:40.262
Why is this important?

00:06:40.262 --> 00:06:49.889
These things are key for helping you step out of that situation because you've got to learn how to get things into your life that taste amazing.

00:06:49.889 --> 00:06:53.569
It's not just about getting rid of the things that have been sabotaging you.

00:06:53.569 --> 00:06:59.653
You've got to learn what those things are and how do you get them out of your life successfully so that it lasts.

00:06:59.653 --> 00:07:01.478
And then how do you then replace them?

00:07:01.478 --> 00:07:07.728
You're never going to leave an empty hole, so you've got to learn how do you replace them and what do you replace them with and where do you find those things.

00:07:08.069 --> 00:07:28.309
And it sounds like a lot in the beginning, but when you have someone to guide you through these steps and to show you the things that actually taste good, so you don't waste your time on long drawn-out recipes with long ingredients lists and trying to figure out how to make it last and trying to keep falling off the wagon and all these things that just don't have to be.

00:07:28.309 --> 00:07:35.661
When you learn simple secrets like the one we're going to share with you today, everything becomes so much easier.

00:07:35.661 --> 00:07:38.334
You start feeling better and you've just got the winning combo.

00:07:38.334 --> 00:07:50.115
So this one hummus secret that we want to share with you, you know, I thought we'll just kind of narrow it down this time, because we always say to you just take one thing, just one thing.

00:07:50.115 --> 00:07:51.458
And so today we're just one thing, just one thing.

00:07:51.458 --> 00:07:53.954
So today, we're just going to give you one thing.

00:07:54.194 --> 00:07:55.903
You don't have to select what that one thing is.

00:07:55.903 --> 00:07:59.091
We're just going to give you the one one thing that you can work on today.

00:07:59.291 --> 00:07:59.954
We are.

00:07:59.954 --> 00:08:05.012
But the thing is is there is variety within the one thing that is going to blow your mind.

00:08:05.012 --> 00:08:13.870
I want you to start thinking about this, because you've believed a lie that this is going to be difficult and going to somehow limit you or limit your choices.

00:08:13.870 --> 00:08:17.987
This way of eating, when done the right way, is not going to limit you.

00:08:17.987 --> 00:08:20.879
It's actually going to open up so many more options for you.

00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:29.322
So the one simple hummus secret that just might blow your mind is you can make hummus with almost any bean.

00:08:30.406 --> 00:08:34.216
Now I know that traditionally it's made with garbanzos.

00:08:34.216 --> 00:08:39.376
We've even lately been mixing it up and adding some black garbanzos, which is also delicious.

00:08:39.376 --> 00:08:42.634
It just looks a little different, but they taste amazing.

00:08:42.634 --> 00:08:45.735
Texture's a little different, but you can make hummus with those.

00:08:45.735 --> 00:08:47.991
What about black beans?

00:08:47.991 --> 00:08:54.499
Now, what if you added black beans to that same recipe, or white beans or pintos, or white beans or pintos or red beans?

00:08:54.499 --> 00:09:00.030
Jared and I have used all of these beans to make the most delicious hummus.

00:09:00.030 --> 00:09:01.514
It is amazing.

00:09:01.514 --> 00:09:07.934
And then you can take this one ingredient and we can show you how to make this meal from it and that meal from it.

00:09:07.975 --> 00:09:22.385
There's so many ways you can use hummus, but if you just learn how to make this one basic recipe and wrap your mind around the fact of how simple this is, and then you start thinking but wait, I can change it up by just changing the bean.

00:09:22.385 --> 00:09:24.817
Now I'm getting a greater variety of nutrients.

00:09:24.817 --> 00:09:28.410
My body is going to thank me because I'm not eating the same kind of hummus all the time.

00:09:28.410 --> 00:09:33.649
It's not going to have any oil added and sabotage my health like the ones that I'm going to buy at the store.

00:09:33.649 --> 00:09:46.547
That have oils added, that cause inflammation and pain in my joints and cause me to have low energy, that have added preservatives or colors or flavorings or any of those kind of things that are there and set you up for failure.

00:09:46.547 --> 00:09:56.346
So now that you know that you can take one hummus recipe, once you get the one that you love, you're going to take it and start switching up the beans when you make it.

00:09:56.346 --> 00:10:03.634
You'll get a different flavor, you'll get a much wider variety of nutrients and it just keeps things fun and exciting.

00:10:03.634 --> 00:10:06.783
So I want you to start switching it up.

00:10:06.903 --> 00:10:09.208
But maybe you're not sure how to even make hummus.

00:10:09.208 --> 00:10:10.613
Anita, what do I do?

00:10:10.613 --> 00:10:24.812
I don't want you to worry about that, because Jared and I have set up a site for you today where you can go to poweronplantscom forward slash hummus, poweronplantscom forward slash h-u-m-m-u-s.

00:10:24.812 --> 00:10:30.950
And just put in your name and email and we are going to send out our hummus recipe to you for free.

00:10:30.950 --> 00:10:36.586
Now, if you already have the original cookbook bundle, you can find it in our original cookbook as well.

00:10:37.129 --> 00:10:41.658
I want you to get in there and do yourself a favor and make this recipe.

00:10:41.658 --> 00:10:44.371
You can use it on so many things.

00:10:44.371 --> 00:11:03.052
And then I want you to come inside our free group that I told you about, because you are going to gain the support that you need from a heartfelt community that we're all rallying together to help each other, and come in there and share about the hummus that you need from a heartfelt community that we're all rallying together to help each other, and come in there and share about the hummus that you're going to try or that you have tried, that's made with a different bean.

00:11:03.052 --> 00:11:07.371
Now I guess officially I mean some avid hummus people out there.

00:11:07.712 --> 00:11:08.193
Purist.

00:11:08.455 --> 00:11:08.937
Purist.

00:11:08.937 --> 00:11:12.066
They may not love this tip, but I'm just going to tell you.

00:11:12.066 --> 00:11:19.885
Okay, maybe they don't like if we call it hummus, let's just call it something else.

00:11:19.885 --> 00:11:20.748
We can call it red bean dip, whatever.

00:11:20.748 --> 00:11:21.971
I don't care what you call it, it's the same base recipe.

00:11:21.971 --> 00:11:43.831
Take that recipe and use it to make these different bean dips, and down the road, I'm going to be showing you how to do these things, walking you through different ways that you can use some of these base recipes, like hummus, to build your recipe arsenal, to show you what to cook when you don't even have time to cook, and recipes that don't even require a recipe.

00:11:44.232 --> 00:11:51.998
But really, this recipe is so simple, it has so few ingredients and you throw it into your blender or your food processor, press, start and it's done.

00:11:51.998 --> 00:11:55.456
We make hummus and have it in our refrigerator on the regular.

00:11:55.456 --> 00:12:03.092
It's one of the things you can make a larger batch, it'll last for a while in your refrigerator and you can snack on it and eat it in so many different ways.

00:12:03.092 --> 00:12:08.469
So start today switching things up with your hummus, trying different beans.

00:12:08.469 --> 00:12:10.312
Do you have a favorite bean Jared that you like?

00:12:10.312 --> 00:12:11.573
Your hummus made with.

00:12:12.115 --> 00:12:15.379
I'm not saying that I'm a purist, but I like garbanzo.

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:15.860
You do.

00:12:16.105 --> 00:12:21.488
I just do, but the other ones are great, but I just think of hummus as being garbanzo, because that's the original.

00:12:21.488 --> 00:12:24.196
If you're a purist you want to name it something other than hummus.

00:12:24.196 --> 00:12:27.433
I guess you could call it a bean spread or a bean dip.

00:12:28.014 --> 00:12:28.797
I'm trying not to.

00:12:28.857 --> 00:12:30.979
I don't know, maybe we can come up with a creative power on plants name.

00:12:31.099 --> 00:12:36.520
I'm trying not to laugh because I think a lot of times, when you think you're eating garbanzos, it's not garbanzos.

00:12:36.520 --> 00:12:40.863
Well, that may be, you get a lot more variety than you even know that you get.

00:12:40.942 --> 00:12:42.283
Everyone may be, which is proof.

00:12:42.283 --> 00:12:45.927
Ladies that are out there, if you're worried about your husband, just make it.

00:12:45.927 --> 00:12:46.969
Just make it.

00:12:46.989 --> 00:13:03.475
They'll eat it and they probably won't even know, and if they don't want to eat it, once they see you eating it and this has been proven time and time again with our clients that we've worked with in the past their husband's going to get curious, and nine out of ten times after a little while he's going to want to try a bite of that If you're not pushing it on him.

00:13:03.738 --> 00:13:06.091
It was sad, hey that smells kind of good.

00:13:06.091 --> 00:13:08.010
You look like you're enjoying that.

00:13:09.166 --> 00:13:12.556
So don't be afraid to try new things.

00:13:12.556 --> 00:13:18.086
Be afraid to try new things.

00:13:18.086 --> 00:13:21.173
Get into the group at poweronplantscom forward slash pie and get the support that you so desperately long for.

00:13:21.173 --> 00:13:23.758
This is a place where we're all about being real.

00:13:23.758 --> 00:13:26.149
There's no fake in this community.

00:13:26.149 --> 00:13:28.294
There's no new age hoo-ha.

00:13:28.294 --> 00:13:29.456
You're not going to find that.

00:13:29.456 --> 00:13:29.798
In there.

00:13:29.798 --> 00:13:39.320
You will find genuine believers who love God and love each other and want to put our arms around each other, support each other, build each other up and move to the next level together.

00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:44.037
Fighting the enemy together, fighting the lies, standing up for truth.

00:13:44.037 --> 00:13:45.671
We're freedom makers.

00:13:45.671 --> 00:14:06.350
That's what we are in our community and I'm so thankful that we have this community together that we can band together and grow together and learn, cheering each other on when we get to the next level, providing support when we're at the beginning, where maybe we just don't feel our best and we just need somebody who understands what we're going through.

00:14:06.350 --> 00:14:09.205
You're going to find that inside of our community.

Sister, remember God has given you a hope, he's given you a future.

00:14:28.841 --> 00:14:36.725
