00:00:00.341 --> 00:00:01.324
Hey there, sunshine.

00:00:01.324 --> 00:00:03.212
You are probably familiar with hummus.

00:00:03.212 --> 00:00:04.937
It is oh so good.

00:00:04.937 --> 00:00:07.985
If you haven't gotten into eating that, now is the time.

00:00:07.985 --> 00:00:08.647
Do not wait.

00:00:08.647 --> 00:00:16.370
But what else can you do with the chickpea or the garbanzo beans Both the same bean, but different names?

00:00:16.370 --> 00:00:26.870
We know them by different names, but I want you to think about what else can I do with this awesome bean that's filled with amazing health benefits, and why should I be eating them?

00:00:26.870 --> 00:00:28.806
That's what we're talking about today.

00:00:29.780 --> 00:00:32.750
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.

00:00:32.750 --> 00:00:38.112
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?

00:00:38.112 --> 00:00:43.512
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?

00:00:43.512 --> 00:00:49.835
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?

00:00:49.835 --> 00:00:57.463
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, healthcare professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.

00:00:57.944 --> 00:01:09.668
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 to traditional routes.

00:01:09.668 --> 00:01:16.888
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.

00:01:16.888 --> 00:01:20.665
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.

00:01:20.665 --> 00:01:25.867
You just need the way that's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.

00:01:25.867 --> 00:01:34.084
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.

00:01:34.465 --> 00:01:39.364
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.

00:01:39.364 --> 00:01:49.950
Well, hey there, friend, we are so glad to have you back with us again, and if this is your first time with us, oh my goodness, you have some amazing listens ahead of you.

00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:54.343

Over 325 episodes are chock full of information that are going to get you started eating whole food, plant-based, and loving it.

00:02:03.230 --> 00:02:08.526
Today, we're talking about one of our favorite ingredients chickpeas.

00:02:08.526 --> 00:02:12.256
But, jared, why should they be eating chickpeas?

00:02:12.256 --> 00:02:14.161
What's so great about this bean?

00:02:14.342 --> 00:02:16.486
I would say the first thing is that they taste amazing.

00:02:16.788 --> 00:02:22.248
They taste amazing, which is why we do a lot of what we do because it tastes amazing.

00:02:22.248 --> 00:02:23.611
Sure, you've got to know how to do it.

00:02:23.611 --> 00:02:34.221
And the thing is, maybe you only know about hummus and you think well, I know hummus is good, and now I've learned that I probably want to eat it all free if I don't want my joints to ache and I don't want to have low energy.

00:02:34.221 --> 00:02:36.424

00:03:04.752 --> 00:03:16.263
When it comes to chickpeas, or maybe you've had the occasional Indian dish when you go out to an Indian restaurant and so you've had some chickpeas there, but you don't really know how to prepare them at home or what else you could be eating.

00:03:16.263 --> 00:03:25.748
There is a whole delicious world of goodness and healing waiting for you when you learn how to use these beans, and today we're sharing some of our favorites with you.

00:03:26.028 --> 00:03:28.614
You may be thinking I can't eat hummus for every single meal.

00:03:28.614 --> 00:03:31.045
I can't eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and dessert.

00:03:31.045 --> 00:03:33.495
Well, maybe not hummus, or can you?

00:03:33.495 --> 00:03:38.604
Or can you or can you but maybe not hummus but chickpeas extremely versatile.

00:03:38.604 --> 00:03:42.049
We have used them in all of those that I have just mentioned.

00:03:42.049 --> 00:03:45.812
We have used them in breakfast lunch, dinner and, oh yes, even dessert.

00:03:46.032 --> 00:03:47.314
And listen, wrap your mind around this.

00:03:47.314 --> 00:03:48.455
Maybe you didn't even know it.

00:03:48.455 --> 00:03:53.770
There are even black chickpeas, and can I tell you how delicious those are.

00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:59.949
They're a little bit firmer, a little bit smaller and the taste is very similar.

00:03:59.969 --> 00:04:01.854
Very similar, but slightly different.

00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:05.066
And sometimes you just want a different color of something in your food.

00:04:05.066 --> 00:04:17.997
So now, if you think of a dish and you think, oh, I'd like chickpeas in there, but I like a little more color, the black chickpeas are going to be your go-to and you're going to get a little bit different nutrient profile, and we know that the darker foods are really, really good.

00:04:17.997 --> 00:04:22.225
So you'll get some different things in there and it's just fun to try something new.

00:04:22.225 --> 00:04:23.185
You'll love them.

00:04:23.346 --> 00:04:24.829
They're rich in the anthocyanins.

00:04:24.829 --> 00:04:36.033
If you go with darker foods, like blueberries, blackberries, black garbanzos, any of those that have the more vibrant, rich colors, you're getting more and a more varied anthocyanin.

00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:39.430
So learn how to cook some of these things at home.

00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:45.526
Yes, you can buy these canned, and when you do look for the salt-free variety, read that label.

00:04:45.526 --> 00:04:52.081
Turn that puppy over and look at the actual ingredients label and don't buy ones with all the things you can't pronounce.

00:04:52.081 --> 00:04:56.451
But what I want you to think about is you can even make these at home.

00:04:56.451 --> 00:04:59.206
Beans are one of the simplest, cheapest things to make.

00:04:59.206 --> 00:05:05.007
Don't get in your mind these lies of oh, it's so expensive, oh, I can't afford this.

00:05:05.007 --> 00:05:10.309
You want to be able to cook these things at home and just find a bean recipe.

00:05:10.309 --> 00:05:14.785
You can follow that for chickpeas and cook them in your Instant Pot.

00:05:14.785 --> 00:05:18.721
And inside one of our cookbooks I do show you how to cook Instant Pot beans.

00:05:18.721 --> 00:05:21.107
If you don't have the two cookbooks, it's a no-brainer.

00:05:21.127 --> 00:05:25.716
We're going to be sharing in this episode some of our favorite things out of our cookbooks that use chickpeas.

00:05:25.716 --> 00:05:36.324
It's going to blow your mind all the different ways you can eat this wonderful bean and you're getting all this fiber, all the energy that comes along with it, and they're filling.

00:05:36.324 --> 00:05:38.675
So you're not just eating plain little salads.

00:05:38.675 --> 00:05:47.480
Now you're putting white chickpeas, black chickpeas, on your salad and it starts to stick to your ribs and you think, oh, I could actually do this, but this goes way beyond salad.

00:05:47.661 --> 00:05:48.706
Now you mentioned fiber.

00:05:48.706 --> 00:05:59.692
The recommended intake of fiber per day ranges from 22 to 34 grams per day 34 when you're younger, all the way up to 22 grams a day when you get older.

00:05:59.692 --> 00:06:02.360
I'm not really sure why the difference in recommendation, but that's what the stats say.

00:06:02.360 --> 00:06:09.882
One cup of chickpeas has 12.5 grams of fiber, so if you're getting older that's already half your daily intake.

00:06:10.470 --> 00:06:13.437
This is why you don't need to be psycho about numbers.

00:06:13.437 --> 00:06:17.685
We can let all that mess go when we know how to live this way, in the way that fuels our body well, and that we love it.

00:06:17.685 --> 00:06:19.779
We can let all that mess go when we know how to live this way, in the way that fuels our body well, and that we love it.

00:06:19.779 --> 00:06:23.204
You can let it go when you see that we've learned all these lies.

00:06:23.204 --> 00:06:29.752
We need to count this and add that I want you to imagine Adam and Eve counting and keeping up with numbers and grams, macros, micros, all this stuff.

00:06:29.752 --> 00:06:32.536
This is why we drive ourselves crazy trying to get healthy.

00:06:32.536 --> 00:06:36.480
If you don't know how to do this, we can take you by the hand and show you and help you.

00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:41.786
Let all these crazy mindset shifts go inside our course accelerator.

00:06:41.786 --> 00:06:47.970
You can get on the waitlist at powerimplantscom forward slash accelerator if it is not currently open.

00:06:47.970 --> 00:06:49.617
If it is, come on in and join us.

00:06:49.617 --> 00:06:50.894
You're not going to regret it.

00:06:50.949 --> 00:06:57.848
We're going to walk you by the hand, step by step, because you've got to let go of these crazy mindset ideas that have kept you stuck.

00:06:57.848 --> 00:07:08.211
You're doing things that you think are healthy, that are not healthy and you're worried about things that are taking so much of your time and energy that, in the end, aren't going to add up to helping you feel good.

00:07:08.211 --> 00:07:11.798
But this is how we do this, especially with the chickpeas.

00:07:11.798 --> 00:07:16.954
So Jared's saying if you eat just one cup, you get over half the amount of fiber that you need.

00:07:16.954 --> 00:07:21.322
Do you need to remember X grams of fiber a day when you're eating whole plant foods?

00:07:21.322 --> 00:07:21.942
100%?

00:07:21.942 --> 00:07:22.564
No, you don't.

00:07:22.564 --> 00:07:26.641
No, because you're going to get more than enough fiber and you're going to feel amazing because of it.

00:07:26.641 --> 00:07:28.189
And that's all I'm going to say about that right here.

00:07:28.189 --> 00:07:29.435
We're just going to leave that.

00:07:29.730 --> 00:07:40.779
It will make you feel amazing and you don't have to worry about things you worried about before, because a cup of chickpeas is not all that you're going to eat in one day.

00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:43.889
No, you might eat some broccoli, eat some oats, eat some beans, eat some lettuce, eat other greens.

00:07:43.889 --> 00:07:47.327
All of that is going to give you the fiber that you need, and the grains.

00:07:47.348 --> 00:07:48.271
What's not going to give you fiber?

00:07:48.492 --> 00:07:49.494
are animal-based products.

00:07:49.494 --> 00:07:51.617
There are zero grams in fiber.

00:07:51.617 --> 00:07:53.944
Eggs, dairy meat, none.

00:07:54.250 --> 00:08:06.401
None, and so we're worried about protein, while there's a great fiber deficiency that is causing all kinds of issues digestive cancers, all kinds of digestive problems, diverticulosis, diverticulitis.

00:08:06.401 --> 00:08:07.975
You don't want to end up with those things.

00:08:07.975 --> 00:08:10.418
So eat your fiber, get your whole plant foods.

00:08:10.418 --> 00:08:13.379
Now, what in the world can I put chickpeas in?

00:08:13.379 --> 00:08:17.922
How am I going to use these little beans of goodness to make my life grand?

00:08:17.922 --> 00:08:31.961
Well, you want to do it in the way that's going to light you up, once you know how to find your favorites and you get these things that you love and look forward to, like brownie batter hummus, the most chocolatey, wonderful dessert, and all of them are not made equal.

00:08:31.961 --> 00:08:35.797
I'm telling you, we have the recipe you want to try.

00:08:35.797 --> 00:08:36.980
It is so good.

00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:38.182
And the cookie dough dip.

00:08:38.182 --> 00:08:42.080
But you like the brownie batter hummus drizzled with a little nut butter.

00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.571
Little nut butter, that's just.

00:08:43.571 --> 00:08:45.758
It's just peanuts, there's nothing else in it.

00:08:45.758 --> 00:08:46.581
It's one ingredient.

00:08:46.789 --> 00:08:47.794
One ingredient nut butter.

00:08:47.970 --> 00:08:50.219
And then a few roasted pecans on top.

00:08:50.490 --> 00:08:51.373
Yes, those are good.

00:08:51.373 --> 00:08:57.077
Or even sometimes a little bit of date syrup would give, which gives it almost a Hershey syrup kind of flavor.

00:08:57.077 --> 00:08:58.341
It's so bizarre, isn't it?

00:08:58.341 --> 00:08:58.841
It is.

00:08:59.149 --> 00:09:05.017
When you get that on there or on some of our drinks out of the Power on Plants cookbooks, it tastes like chocolate.

00:09:05.017 --> 00:09:07.678
I don't know why date syrup does that, but it is dreamy goodness.

00:09:07.730 --> 00:09:09.658
We don't know why, but we just enjoy it.

00:09:11.114 --> 00:09:13.841
We just sit around going, yeah, this is so delicious.

00:09:13.841 --> 00:09:15.756
And then you dip an apple in that.

00:09:15.756 --> 00:09:27.034
You cut up apple slices using a little gadget that is so easy to do, it takes two seconds and you're sitting dipping these apple slices into this brownie batter hummus dip.

00:09:27.034 --> 00:09:33.552
That's chocolatey, dreamy, guilt-free, and you're eating it made with all whole plant foods.

00:09:33.552 --> 00:09:34.755
Your body feels great.

00:09:34.755 --> 00:09:40.898
There's no regret, no remorse, no guilt, and you're reversing things like diabetes eating this way.

00:09:41.217 --> 00:09:42.542
Meanwhile you're eating carbs.

00:09:42.542 --> 00:09:44.332
I mean, just wrap your mind around it.

00:09:44.332 --> 00:09:49.792
But we have clients reversing diabetes on a regular basis, type 2 diabetes.

00:09:49.792 --> 00:09:52.418
Isn't it amazing just thinking about that?

00:09:52.418 --> 00:10:18.028
But this takes me back to the days of the county fair or going to this little amusement park we used to have in our hometown and you would buy apples, like the apples that were drizzled in caramel and chocolate, and it just it takes me back to that because it's like eating that when you're dipping the apple slice in the brownie batter hummus and you have those roasted pecans and that chocolatey sauce on top.

00:10:18.028 --> 00:10:33.717
You can't even make caramel by boiling maple syrup too and that is also excellent drizzled over these, so you can make like a chocolate covered caramel or a chocolate covered chocolate drizzled with your date syrup, apple, and it's just the most wonderful thing.

00:10:33.717 --> 00:10:34.880
And you're eating it and you're going.

00:10:34.880 --> 00:10:42.693
Why did I believe the lies that have kept me stuck for so long, thinking this was nothing but rabbit food or all I could eat was salad?

00:10:42.693 --> 00:10:42.934
I?

00:10:42.955 --> 00:10:45.341
mean, we have people that absolutely love this recipe.

00:10:45.341 --> 00:10:50.000
They'll make it for others and they cannot believe that it's made with with beans.

00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:53.996
Oh, we haven't listening to me right now, which obviously you are and you don't believe me.

00:10:53.996 --> 00:10:59.852
I dare you to get the cookbook, make a recipe and try it and tell me you don't love it.

00:10:59.874 --> 00:11:00.514
No joke.

00:11:00.514 --> 00:11:06.200
Go to poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook and just get it and try it, because it will blow your mind.

00:11:06.200 --> 00:11:10.673
We have a current client who owns a store where she sells healthy drinks.

00:11:10.673 --> 00:11:12.235
It's a beautiful little store.

00:11:12.235 --> 00:11:18.530
If you've ever seen a clean juice I saw pictures of it on Instagram, but it's like all white, modern, so cute.

00:11:18.530 --> 00:11:28.106
And she told us the other day on our coaching call that she made this brownie batter hummus and sat it out on the counter and she said our customers were going crazy for it.

00:11:28.448 --> 00:11:38.842
Michelle girl, I love that you're sharing it with them because they can start to see and break those myths that healthy eating has to taste bad or I have to somehow deprive myself.

00:11:38.842 --> 00:11:47.686
It just makes no sense at all and I love that it's getting out there to people and they're getting to try it to see hey, this actually is the real deal.

00:11:47.686 --> 00:11:51.817
And they're asking her for the recipe and she's telling them it's healthy and it's just blowing their mind.

00:11:52.139 --> 00:11:54.110
And they realize there's no compromise there.

00:11:54.110 --> 00:11:57.351
Right, they can have the healthy with the tasting amazing.

00:11:57.631 --> 00:11:58.993
Have the healthy and the delicious.

00:11:58.993 --> 00:11:59.972
Why do you have to choose?

00:11:59.972 --> 00:12:01.274
Why do you have to choose?

00:12:01.274 --> 00:12:04.429
You don't no-transcript.

00:12:04.429 --> 00:12:05.280
And then there's the kale chips.

00:12:05.280 --> 00:12:08.341
Oh, my goodness, I mean, they're just next level.

00:12:08.341 --> 00:12:17.615
One of our other members tried this the other day and she posted inside the course and she said my husband, who didn't eat kale before, absolutely loves these.

00:12:17.615 --> 00:12:22.486
He's popping kale in his mouth left and right because they're so, so good.

00:12:22.486 --> 00:12:24.482
Now, I have not made them in the oven.

00:12:24.575 --> 00:12:30.339
They're one of the many things that we do in the dehydrator, and dehydrators just don't cost that much anymore.

00:12:30.339 --> 00:12:32.904
There are some really reasonable ones that you can get.

00:12:32.904 --> 00:12:38.067
So it's very worth saving up to get one, because you don't have to watch them, you don't have to pamper them.

00:12:38.067 --> 00:12:39.558
It retains all the nutrients.

00:12:39.558 --> 00:12:42.934
They remain raw, so you still have the living nutrients, and we know that.

00:12:42.934 --> 00:12:43.336
We know that.

00:12:43.336 --> 00:12:47.543
We know the more raw you eat, the healthier you're going to be, because all the living nutrients are in there.

00:12:47.543 --> 00:12:50.610
So this kale chip recipe is divine.

00:12:50.610 --> 00:12:52.702
Think about it as your new Dorito replacement.

00:12:52.702 --> 00:12:56.405
I know it's hard to think kale chips replace Doritos, but they're so good.

00:12:56.405 --> 00:12:58.902
Guess what our dehydrator is filled with right now.

00:12:59.222 --> 00:13:01.509
At this very moment, at this very moment, it's filled with kale chips.

00:13:01.691 --> 00:13:03.676
Oh yeah, this same recipe for kale chips.

00:13:03.716 --> 00:13:13.225
And before we started this journey, if you had told me you're going to be craving kale chips and I think I've even used the words I'm addicted to these kale chips- you have I would have thought you're insane, right?

00:13:13.225 --> 00:13:15.386
Kale chips addicted to.

00:13:15.386 --> 00:13:17.087
There's no way, right?

00:13:17.087 --> 00:13:17.928
No way.

00:13:18.048 --> 00:13:20.890
And you may have had a bad run in with some nasty tasting kale chips.

00:13:20.890 --> 00:13:21.792
These aren't those.

00:13:21.792 --> 00:13:23.035
These are not those.

00:13:23.035 --> 00:13:26.863
It was so funny too, because I was in there eating the batter that we put on the kale chips.

00:13:26.863 --> 00:13:30.168
My son, my 16-year-old son, actually made these today.

00:13:30.168 --> 00:13:33.182
That's how simple it is, like even our youngest can make these.

00:13:33.182 --> 00:13:36.063
But I was trying the batter and I said this cheese is so good.

00:13:36.063 --> 00:13:37.500
And he looks at me, starts dying laughing.

00:13:37.500 --> 00:13:39.361
He goes Mom, you realize this isn't cheese.

00:13:39.361 --> 00:13:41.597
You realize this isn't cheese, don't you?

00:13:41.597 --> 00:13:47.908
Of course I realize it's not cheese, son, but it's so cheesy, it's just so good, and there's not even any nooch in it.

00:13:47.908 --> 00:13:56.956
I mean, it's just, it's really good.

00:13:56.956 --> 00:13:58.018
It's cheese with a Z Cheesy, yeah, cheesy.

00:13:58.018 --> 00:13:59.059
So you need the kale chips in your life.

00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:00.442
What about decadent brownies, jared?

00:14:00.442 --> 00:14:04.857
I mean I know there's some bean brownies out there that are just lackluster.

00:14:04.857 --> 00:14:07.403
It is not exciting, these, okay.

00:14:07.403 --> 00:14:16.097
So Jared and I, before we got married, we met in college, at Rhodes College in Memphis, if you're familiar with that, that's where we met in 1990.

00:14:16.097 --> 00:14:25.942
And so Jared would take me out to this little quaint restaurant where they had these little bistro type tables, and we ordered this hot fudge pie.

00:14:25.942 --> 00:14:27.785
It was so amazing.

00:14:27.785 --> 00:14:29.488
I will never forget how good it was.

00:14:29.488 --> 00:14:31.331
These are those.

00:14:31.331 --> 00:14:39.582
I'm about to reduce the cooking time on the cookbook on these, because if you bake them like I currently have in the cookbook, it's a little bit drier.

00:14:39.582 --> 00:14:42.037
They're more like a dry brownie that you would normally make.

00:14:42.037 --> 00:14:45.936
They're not dry, they're still very moist, but it's more like a cake-like brownie.

00:14:45.936 --> 00:14:51.645
If you take about five to seven minutes off the cook time and you don't completely cook them, they are.

00:14:51.645 --> 00:14:53.349
So I mean, I'm right back there.

00:14:53.774 --> 00:14:55.099
I'm transported to Memphis.

00:14:55.099 --> 00:14:56.842
I'm sitting at the Bistro Table.

00:14:56.842 --> 00:15:01.160
Years and years I won't say how many years ago- Just years plural, that's all.

00:15:01.682 --> 00:15:02.163
And listen.

00:15:02.163 --> 00:15:09.005
If you are inside our course right now, get inside your members exclusive cook Cookbook and Accelerator.

00:15:09.005 --> 00:15:14.798
Or if you're an alumni and you've already graduated, get in there and get my recipe for vanilla ice cream.

00:15:14.798 --> 00:15:16.783
This does not have any bananas in it.

00:15:16.783 --> 00:15:19.717
Your vanilla ice cream does not have to have bananas in it.

00:15:19.717 --> 00:15:30.548
Yes, we love us some banana and ice cream as much as the next person, but you have to have my next level vanilla ice cream soft serve in your life because it tastes like homemade vanilla.

00:15:30.548 --> 00:15:40.246
People are freaking out about it right now because we just came out with this recipe for our members and they're loving it, but it might fly under your radar and we don't want that to happen because it's so good.

00:15:40.246 --> 00:15:43.442
So you have to try this on that.

00:15:43.663 --> 00:15:49.989
On the decadent brownies yeah, we don't want you two years from now thinking wait, what that's been the cookbook this whole time and I could have been enjoying it.

00:15:51.118 --> 00:15:54.903
No, that'd be a tragedy, a whole food, plant-based tragedy.

00:15:54.903 --> 00:15:58.284
And dressings you can make your dressings creamy.

00:15:58.284 --> 00:16:01.345
You don't have to use just cashews or cashews at all.

00:16:01.345 --> 00:16:06.000
If, for some reason, you're not eating cashews, drop in some white beans or these beans.

00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:06.881
They're wonderful.

00:16:06.881 --> 00:16:10.428
You can use any kind of beans to make your dressings creamier.

00:16:10.428 --> 00:16:12.682
You can take a hummus and thin it down with water.

00:16:12.682 --> 00:16:14.743
That's a yummy way to make a creamy dressing.

00:16:14.743 --> 00:16:17.081
So use a chickpeas to make dressings.

00:16:17.081 --> 00:16:18.846
Make your regular hummus dip.

00:16:18.846 --> 00:16:21.865
A hearty hummus dip in the cookbook is amazing.

00:16:22.075 --> 00:16:23.436
That's more like a traditional hummus.

00:16:23.716 --> 00:16:24.255
Absolutely.

00:16:24.255 --> 00:16:29.658
We have the instant pot veggie soup, which is mouthwatering, delicious Chickpea pecan salad.

00:16:29.658 --> 00:16:31.600
We've been on a roll of eating that.

00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:34.400
Yeah, I can't get off the habit of that right now.

00:16:34.400 --> 00:16:35.961
It just tastes so, so good.

00:16:35.961 --> 00:16:37.383
Some roasted pecans.

00:16:37.383 --> 00:16:40.163
You can either put diced apples or grapes in it.

00:16:40.163 --> 00:16:41.203
The recipe calls for grapes.

00:16:41.203 --> 00:16:50.849
If you don't have those in my old chicken salad recipe and you never put grapes or apples, just don't add them.

00:16:50.849 --> 00:16:54.630
It's going to be a lot like your old chicken salad and it is going to light you up.

00:16:54.630 --> 00:16:56.371
You'll like it just as much or even better.

00:16:56.831 --> 00:16:58.732
One of mine likes a little more mustard in hers.

00:16:58.732 --> 00:16:59.393
So what does she do?

00:16:59.393 --> 00:17:01.936
She adds a little more mustard.

00:17:01.936 --> 00:17:08.483
I mean, these recipes are the base recipes that you're going to want that most times you're going to taste it and think I love it just the way it is.

00:17:08.483 --> 00:17:12.730
But I'm very particular, as Jared will tell you, about my recipes.

00:17:12.730 --> 00:17:19.748
I want them to taste amazing, but then I want you to learn how to tweak them to where they have your favorite things.

00:17:19.748 --> 00:17:22.557
So if you like pecans, add more pecans.

00:17:22.557 --> 00:17:27.040
You know, if you like more mustard, just add a little squirt more mustard.

00:17:27.040 --> 00:17:28.362
You're going to love this recipe.

00:17:28.362 --> 00:17:29.982
It's incredible, evan.

00:17:29.982 --> 00:17:34.788
Roasted chickpeas for a crunchy snack are really fun to have, so this is a bean.

00:17:34.788 --> 00:17:40.192
You do not want to miss out on Such a delicious legume filled with nutrients.

00:17:40.192 --> 00:17:43.038
What are the nutrients that they get?

00:17:43.057 --> 00:17:47.567
I know you mentioned fiber before, but you have B vitamins like folate in there.

00:17:47.567 --> 00:17:52.667
You have minerals copper, iron, zinc, magnesium, even selenium.

00:17:52.667 --> 00:18:03.942
We've talked about selenium in the past being in Brazil nuts, which those are very good sources, but a cup of chickpeas has 11% of your daily requirement for selenium, Potassium that's very important.

00:18:04.234 --> 00:18:07.194
Potassium is known to help with decreasing blood pressure.

00:18:07.194 --> 00:18:09.539
It's known for its cardiovascular health benefits.

00:18:09.539 --> 00:18:13.449
One cup of chickpeas has 10% of your daily requirement of potassium.

00:18:13.449 --> 00:18:14.759
So there's just a ton.

00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.597
And that's why I always say, when people ask about any kind of mineral what do I need for iron?

00:18:18.597 --> 00:18:20.803
What do I need for calcium?

00:18:20.803 --> 00:18:21.766
Beans and greens.

00:18:21.766 --> 00:18:36.789
So the beans are just very rich sources and, if you think about it, these are seeds and they make new plants, so they need to have the minerals in them to get that plant started before it can dig the roots down into the soil to start acquiring new minerals.

00:18:36.789 --> 00:18:38.823
So they're just powerhouses.

00:18:39.154 --> 00:18:43.344
That's such a good way to put it Powerhouses filled with nutrients.

00:18:43.344 --> 00:18:45.844
They're going to power you well.

00:18:45.844 --> 00:18:47.820
That's why we call it power on plants.

00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:52.708
And if you want to accelerate your results, you want to get there faster and go farther.

00:18:52.708 --> 00:18:54.615
Get inside Accelerator.

00:18:54.615 --> 00:19:00.897
We're going to take you by the hand and walk you step by step at poweronplantscom forward slash accelerator.

00:19:00.897 --> 00:19:02.924

00:19:02.924 --> 00:19:14.717
If you want to work with me and Jared as your coaches this is the only way to get inside our membership you have to go through the foundational course and inside that we're already working with you as your coaches.

00:19:14.717 --> 00:19:24.332

00:19:24.332 --> 00:19:31.891
So if you've listened to all the episodes and you binge listened and you're like I want to get into Power and Plant Society, it is no more, because we know that.

00:19:31.891 --> 00:19:32.271
We know that.

00:19:32.271 --> 00:19:49.512
We know you need those five foundational steps that we teach you inside Accelerator and then you come inside Alumni and we just continue on this amazing journey, showing you all the things in the way that's delicious, rapid and simple, so that it's exciting, enjoyable and lasting.

00:19:49.773 --> 00:19:52.099
So you're not going to want to miss out on these chickpeas.

00:19:52.099 --> 00:19:53.644
You need more of them in your life.

00:19:53.644 --> 00:19:54.395
How do you do that?

00:19:54.395 --> 00:19:58.571
The easiest way is to grab your copies of the Power on Plants cookbook.

00:19:58.571 --> 00:20:07.721
It is going to light up your taste buds, make you want to dance and those around you who aren't whole food plant-based are going to be asking you to sample off your plate, and then they're going to want the recipe.

00:20:07.721 --> 00:20:11.646
So you can grab those at poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:20:11.646 --> 00:20:14.195
That's poweronplantscom forward slash cookbook.

00:20:14.195 --> 00:20:16.280
We have loved hanging out with you, sunshine.

00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:27.576
