Have you ever wondered
how to prepare a healthy food
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.73
that actually tastes good?
00:00:02.76\00:00:04.40
Well stay-tuned while
Evita Tezeno, Brenda Kemp,
00:00:04.43\00:00:07.04
and yours truly, Nyse Collins
show you just how to do it,
00:00:07.07\00:00:10.31
and give you "A
Taste of Paradise"
00:00:10.34\00:00:13.04
My name is Brenda Kemp,
and my name is Evita Tezeno.
00:00:31.43\00:00:34.80
Today, we are going to be
making marinade collard greens.
00:00:34.83\00:00:38.20
Evita, let's share
the ingredients. Okay!
00:00:38.23\00:00:42.27
So let's get started...
00:01:12.90\00:01:14.67
Here we have collard greens
that have been already chopped.
00:01:17.47\00:01:21.54
And what we're going
to add is the olive oil,
00:01:22.98\00:01:26.11
Do you want the lemon juice?
00:01:27.62\00:01:29.35
The lemon juice. Okay
00:01:29.38\00:01:31.25
Let's take some salt. Okay
00:01:34.16\00:01:36.12
This is similar to the
kale recipe you did before.
00:01:40.73\00:01:44.40
Yes it is, and what we're
going to do is marinade it
00:01:44.43\00:01:46.97
so that we can break down
the greens so that they're
00:01:47.00\00:01:50.84
digestible.
00:01:50.87\00:01:52.91
Okay, let's add some onions.
00:01:53.17\00:01:55.41
This is a good way
to get your greens in.
00:02:00.12\00:02:03.02
You know, coming from the
South, I love collard greens!
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.76
But I bet you cooked them,
didn't you? Yes, for hours!
00:02:08.79\00:02:12.86
Well, eating collard greens
raw is very healthy for you.
00:02:12.89\00:02:17.57
They're packed with nutrition.
00:02:17.60\00:02:19.73
Let's add some of the cayenne.
00:02:20.80\00:02:22.90
The cayenne
gives it a little kick.
00:02:25.21\00:02:27.61
Also, cayenne is a
good blood cleanser as well.
00:02:27.64\00:02:31.98
Yes it is, and because
collard greens are a bit bitter,
00:02:32.01\00:02:35.48
we are going to add
some maple syrup in here
00:02:35.52\00:02:38.75
to give it a little
bit of a sweet taste.
00:02:38.79\00:02:40.96
And maple syrup isn't raw,
but it's used quite frequently
00:02:41.09\00:02:45.09
in the raw community when
they're doing different recipes.
00:02:45.13\00:02:48.50
I love all of the options
that you have when you start
00:02:49.96\00:02:53.03
a raw diet. Yes
00:02:53.07\00:02:55.47
We will add the
bell peppers in there.
00:02:57.11\00:03:02.48
Oh, that's going to be pretty!
00:03:02.88\00:03:05.55
That red and green
together always pops!
00:03:05.58\00:03:08.72
And Evita, while I'm
massaging this, can I get you to
00:03:08.75\00:03:11.49
go ahead and mince
the garlic for me. Okay
00:03:11.52\00:03:15.76
Let's pick it out. Okay
00:03:19.43\00:03:21.73
And again, I love
the smell of garlic!
00:03:23.53\00:03:26.50
Ummm, that's smells wonderful.
Doesn't it? Yes it does.
00:03:26.70\00:03:31.44
Wait until you taste it.
00:03:31.47\00:03:33.24
Look at the color of
that. Wow, it is beautiful!
00:03:35.64\00:03:38.41
Okay!
00:03:41.82\00:03:43.15
It can get a little messy
as well, but it's still good.
00:03:43.18\00:03:47.86
Okay and there you have
it, marinade collard greens.
00:03:48.42\00:03:53.09
The next recipe
we're going to do is...
00:03:53.13\00:03:57.27
One of my favorites
because, coming from the South,
00:03:57.30\00:04:00.07
I've always
loved mashed potatoes,
00:04:00.10\00:04:01.90
but when I became raw,
you know, you can't do the
00:04:01.94\00:04:04.44
mashed potatoes and also,
you can't do white potatoes raw
00:04:04.47\00:04:08.28
because it's not
really good for digestion.
00:04:08.38\00:04:10.35
So we came up with a
recipe with mashed cauliflower
00:04:10.38\00:04:14.22
to resemble mashed potatoes.
00:04:14.25\00:04:16.12
Mashed cauliflower? Yes!
00:04:16.15\00:04:18.59
This is going to
be interesting. Yes
00:04:18.62\00:04:20.69
And the ingredients for the
mashed potatoes and chives are:
00:04:20.72\00:04:26.36
So let's begin our recipe...
00:04:47.32\00:04:49.08
So Evita, you're going
to be making mashed potatoes
00:04:51.99\00:04:54.26
with cauliflower?
00:04:54.29\00:04:56.06
Yes, it's a good
substitute for potatoes.
00:04:56.09\00:05:00.00
So this is 2
cups of cauliflower,
00:05:00.03\00:05:03.97
and we're adding
soaked cashews because
00:05:05.10\00:05:07.97
cashews make it creamy like
the regular mashed potatoes.
00:05:08.00\00:05:14.18
So we soaked
them and rinsed them,
00:05:14.21\00:05:16.31
and we soaked
them the night before.
00:05:16.34\00:05:18.18
We have our
olive oil, lemon juice,
00:05:20.52\00:05:28.52
a half clove of garlic, minced,
00:05:30.89\00:05:34.16
salt,
00:05:35.66\00:05:40.10
and we're going to use
00:05:40.90\00:05:43.17
half of the chives and we're
going to then garnish the rest.
00:05:44.87\00:05:49.34
So you're going to have to
coax it along a little bit,
00:06:05.93\00:06:08.96
until it gets clean.
00:06:11.23\00:06:12.57
It's really looking
like mashed potatoes!
00:06:12.60\00:06:15.17
It is SO delicious!
00:06:15.20\00:06:18.37
You have to work
with it a little bit.
00:06:19.07\00:06:21.44
And the more you process
it, the creamier it will get.
00:06:31.62\00:06:36.73
So I guess this is
a great alternative
00:06:53.71\00:06:55.48
for us potato lovers. Yes it is.
00:06:55.51\00:06:58.58
So let's plate it.
00:06:58.61\00:07:00.68
Now, let's get the
marinated collard greens.
00:07:06.19\00:07:11.53
We may need to add a
little more water to it.
00:07:13.90\00:07:18.63
Let's just add a
little more water
00:07:19.00\00:07:20.34
to make it a
little more creamier.
00:07:20.37\00:07:23.04
Oh that's what was needed. Yes
00:07:25.77\00:07:29.31
Good! Yes!
00:07:37.29\00:07:39.65
Okay, we're
ready. That's good stuff!
00:07:40.26\00:07:42.79
Let's get our
marinated collard greens.
00:07:42.96\00:07:45.63
These two dishes
go well together. Yes
00:07:48.40\00:07:51.07
It is very Southern!
00:07:51.10\00:07:54.24
And we have our collard
greens and our mashed potatoes.
00:07:56.14\00:08:04.05
Wonderful!
00:08:09.32\00:08:11.99
That looks delicious!
00:08:12.02\00:08:14.32
You see, we still could have
soul food and it could be raw.
00:08:16.42\00:08:21.56
Marinated collard greens
and mashed cauliflower potato.
00:08:21.60\00:08:26.87
Have you ever left
home and you got to work
00:08:35.41\00:08:38.38
or maybe school or
something of that nature,
00:08:38.41\00:08:40.35
and you said, "Man,
I forgot something."
00:08:40.38\00:08:42.95
Maybe it was your wallet,
maybe you forgot your keys,
00:08:42.98\00:08:45.92
maybe sometimes you even
00:08:45.95\00:08:48.22
forget your kids, who
knows - you never know.
00:08:48.26\00:08:50.33
But you forgot
something and you have to like
00:08:50.36\00:08:52.39
literally turn around and go
all the way back home to get it
00:08:52.43\00:08:55.63
because it's that important.
00:08:55.66\00:08:57.60
You never want to
leave home without it.
00:08:57.63\00:09:00.24
This is also the same thing
that applies to our lifestyle.
00:09:00.27\00:09:03.97
If we're looking to
balance our blessings...
00:09:04.01\00:09:05.67
You remember, we never
say anybody is fat or skinny.
00:09:05.71\00:09:07.88
Some are just
over-blessed and under-blessed.
00:09:07.91\00:09:09.64
If you're looking to do that,
if you're looking to get rid of
00:09:09.68\00:09:12.18
maybe some ailment
that's afflicting you...
00:09:12.21\00:09:14.52
Or maybe if you're just
looking to get back on track
00:09:14.55\00:09:17.42
and you want to feel
good throughout the day,
00:09:17.45\00:09:19.09
then you should never leave
home without your breakfast.
00:09:19.12\00:09:23.46
And that's why we decided to
focus a whole program on this
00:09:23.49\00:09:27.00
because a lot of
us are leaving home.
00:09:27.03\00:09:28.96
But the only problem is
we're not turning around
00:09:29.00\00:09:31.07
and going back to get it.
00:09:31.10\00:09:32.43
We just continue to
go throughout the day
00:09:32.47\00:09:34.44
missing that
breakfast and we wonder why
00:09:34.47\00:09:37.21
sometimes that vending
machine is just calling our name
00:09:37.24\00:09:40.14
like it's literally
saying, "Hey Nyse, come here,"
00:09:40.18\00:09:42.84
and you find yourself buying
stuff and I know there's no
00:09:42.88\00:09:45.35
fruits in there, so you
end up buying some junk food
00:09:45.38\00:09:47.78
they would say...
and you find yourself
00:09:47.82\00:09:50.49
nibbling all day - just
like, "I can't stop myself."
00:09:50.52\00:09:53.46
You know what, well
really the problem is not
00:09:53.49\00:09:55.39
that you can't stop
yourself, it's that the body is
00:09:55.42\00:09:57.66
literally forcing you
because it needs something
00:09:57.69\00:10:00.40
to survive off of because
we left home without breakfast.
00:10:00.43\00:10:03.87
I have never worked with anyone
who was able to balance their
00:10:03.90\00:10:07.34
blessings, who was able to
bring some of their ailments
00:10:07.37\00:10:09.60
under control or
reversal or to get back on track
00:10:09.64\00:10:12.51
who has always
skipped breakfast!
00:10:12.54\00:10:14.78
And it's
something that we all do,
00:10:14.81\00:10:16.71
but it's causing
major havoc in our lives.
00:10:16.75\00:10:19.65
As-a-matter-of-fact, if you've
ever wondered why sometimes
00:10:19.68\00:10:21.45
you're just so agitated
and irritated all the time,
00:10:21.48\00:10:24.79
maybe you didn't have breakfast.
00:10:24.82\00:10:26.19
And so our focus today
is to go ahead and let's get
00:10:26.22\00:10:29.56
breakfast back on track
and let's go ahead and share
00:10:29.59\00:10:33.23
this with other people as well.
00:10:33.26\00:10:34.60
So, we're going to look
at a simple couple of recipes
00:10:34.63\00:10:38.20
to get started.
00:10:38.23\00:10:39.57
As-a-matter-of-fact,
one of the first ones,
00:10:39.60\00:10:41.34
we always have breakfast,
it's a nice little liquid item,
00:10:41.37\00:10:44.54
as you see, I have quite a
few items here and it is milk.
00:10:44.57\00:10:48.28
Milk is crucial, as-a-matter-of
fact, if you're like me,
00:10:48.31\00:10:52.08
I used to drink them
by the gallons growing up,
00:10:52.11\00:10:54.78
and it's a
valuable part of breakfast.
00:10:54.82\00:10:57.09
I know there are
many options to milk...
00:10:57.12\00:10:59.05
There's cow's milk and
now there's even soy milk,
00:10:59.09\00:11:02.42
and then there's even rice milk,
00:11:02.46\00:11:04.43
and now the big
push is coconut milk.
00:11:04.46\00:11:06.43
Whatever milk it is,
we always have to have it,
00:11:06.46\00:11:09.53
but what we find as well
is when you buy it out there,
00:11:09.56\00:11:12.67
it will cost you a little bit
more and, also, the situation
00:11:12.70\00:11:16.20
with like the cow's milk
or different items like that,
00:11:16.24\00:11:18.17
we just want to find a
balance because it has been
00:11:18.21\00:11:20.38
shown that it's
related to allergies.
00:11:20.41\00:11:22.88
It's actually #1 on the list.
00:11:22.91\00:11:24.45
But, hey, no worries, if
you want to get rid of those
00:11:24.48\00:11:26.58
sniffles and
sneezes and stuff like that,
00:11:26.61\00:11:28.52
what we're going to do is
we're going to share with you
00:11:28.55\00:11:29.95
another option if you don't have
any allergies to nuts that is,
00:11:29.98\00:11:33.69
that you will enjoy and
it's one of my favorite milks,
00:11:33.72\00:11:37.09
it's called the
"banana nut milk,"
00:11:37.13\00:11:40.20
and the recipe is
really simple as follows:
00:11:40.23\00:11:42.20
Now, I know, everybody
has that in your house,
00:11:57.38\00:11:59.71
if you don't, go get it
because this is necessary.
00:11:59.75\00:12:02.52
If you learn how
to make this milk,
00:12:02.55\00:12:04.12
it will literally change
your life because you will
00:12:04.15\00:12:06.05
never have to buy it
again, and we also talk about
00:12:06.09\00:12:08.39
economy when it comes to
living a healthy lifestyle.
00:12:08.42\00:12:10.73
Everybody is always
crying, "Ohhh, to live healthy
00:12:10.76\00:12:13.60
is so expensive,"
but this is not true.
00:12:13.63\00:12:16.06
When you're trying live healthy,
if you have somebody else
00:12:16.10\00:12:18.60
making it for you, then they're
going to charge you for it
00:12:18.63\00:12:21.17
premium, especially when they're
organic and this and that.
00:12:21.20\00:12:24.21
But when you make it yourself,
00:12:24.24\00:12:25.57
it's literally the
cheapest thing in town.
00:12:25.61\00:12:28.38
And so now, we're going
to make our banana nut milk,
00:12:28.41\00:12:30.65
really simple and easy.
00:12:30.68\00:12:32.38
Actually, it's even cheaper than
00:12:32.41\00:12:34.95
buying soymilk
and it's real simple.
00:12:34.98\00:12:37.35
All we're doing is
take 1 cup of cashews.
00:12:37.39\00:12:40.09
These are raw, unsalted cashews.
00:12:40.12\00:12:43.43
Then we're going to
take, as you remember
00:12:43.46\00:12:45.46
there in the recipe,
1 tablespoon of honey,
00:12:45.49\00:12:49.26
or if you don't have honey
and if you have maple syrup,
00:12:49.30\00:12:51.37
fantastic - you
can always improvise,
00:12:51.40\00:12:53.77
the only thing we'll say
don't improve with is sugar.
00:12:53.80\00:12:57.57
And then we'll take
just a little pinch of salt,
00:12:57.61\00:13:01.84
alright, watch the pinch now.
00:13:01.88\00:13:03.35
A lot of people, we
like salt, but just a pinch.
00:13:03.38\00:13:05.81
Why are we adding salt to milk?
00:13:05.85\00:13:08.58
Really simple, many people
will say, "Well, maybe because
00:13:08.62\00:13:10.75
of the flavor?"
Yes, it does add flavor,
00:13:10.79\00:13:12.99
or maybe because it
works as a preservative
00:13:13.02\00:13:15.42
which is crucial
because when you make this milk,
00:13:15.46\00:13:18.09
it will last about 3 to
maybe 5 days in the fridge,
00:13:18.13\00:13:21.23
but it never lasts that long.
00:13:21.26\00:13:22.93
And they say, "Why, why
doesn't it last that long?"
00:13:22.96\00:13:24.90
Because you always drink
it up before it's finished...
00:13:24.93\00:13:27.20
That's the first and
second thing you have to make
00:13:27.24\00:13:28.57
a new batch, but
it's so easy to make
00:13:28.60\00:13:30.17
you can make this every day.
00:13:30.21\00:13:31.54
And now we're going to go
ahead and we're going to take
00:13:31.57\00:13:34.58
1 cup of water - this is crucial
to not put too much water
00:13:34.61\00:13:40.85
but just to have enough.
00:13:40.88\00:13:42.22
It depends which
type of blender you have.
00:13:42.25\00:13:45.45
You just want to
put just enough so
00:13:45.49\00:13:47.72
it can get blended
because if you put too much,
00:13:47.79\00:13:49.86
you'll never be able
to blend it properly.
00:13:49.89\00:13:51.93
Then 1 nice banana,
really simple and easy.
00:13:51.96\00:13:55.33
Now don't tell
anybody about this,
00:13:55.36\00:13:56.83
this is new in town.
00:13:56.87\00:13:58.27
I know there's
banana nut cereal;
00:13:58.30\00:14:00.27
I know there's banana nut
cookies and stuff like that,
00:14:00.30\00:14:03.71
but when was the last
time you ever heard of somebody
00:14:03.74\00:14:05.54
making some banana nut milk?
00:14:05.57\00:14:07.84
Well here's your opportunity.
00:14:07.88\00:14:09.51
Now we'll just
close that real quick,
00:14:09.54\00:14:11.55
and we're going to blend
it until it's nice and creamy.
00:14:11.58\00:14:13.78
Now you have to do it
until you don't hear that
00:14:33.50\00:14:35.34
crackling sound and now
we have banana nut not milk,
00:14:35.37\00:14:39.54
this is banana nut cream...
00:14:39.57\00:14:41.34
And do you see
how creamy that is?
00:14:41.38\00:14:43.24
Let's see if I can
get this on camera.
00:14:43.28\00:14:44.95
Look at that thing -
whoops, that thing is amazing!
00:14:44.98\00:14:48.98
As-a-matter-of fact, you know
how you do your fruit salads
00:14:49.02\00:14:51.32
and you normally put that
kind of milk on top of it,
00:14:51.35\00:14:53.72
no need to do that
because we know that milk is
00:14:53.76\00:14:55.82
condensed milk,
it's loaded with sugar
00:14:55.86\00:14:57.49
causing all kinds of extra
blessings and stuff like that.
00:14:57.53\00:15:00.26
Well, we don't have to
worry about that because now
00:15:00.30\00:15:01.90
you can do the cashew
nut or the banana nut milk.
00:15:01.93\00:15:05.60
Another way this is
good... anybody like porridge?
00:15:05.63\00:15:08.64
You know, like hot cereal?
00:15:08.67\00:15:10.14
What makes that hot
cereal taste very good?
00:15:10.17\00:15:12.24
The condensed milk or
the milk that we put in it.
00:15:12.27\00:15:15.58
No excuse to do that anymore,
you can actually make your own!
00:15:15.61\00:15:19.85
As-a-matter-of-fact,
we did this for children,
00:15:19.88\00:15:21.65
and before we cooked for adults,
00:15:21.68\00:15:23.22
we cook for children - why?
00:15:23.25\00:15:24.59
Because their taste buds
are still young and they can
00:15:24.62\00:15:26.82
appreciate
simplicity and flavor.
00:15:26.86\00:15:28.56
They haven't had 20,
30, 40 years of sugar
00:15:28.59\00:15:31.16
and all of these other foods
so they could appreciate it.
00:15:31.19\00:15:34.56
And we cooked for the children
and they're our testers,
00:15:34.60\00:15:38.47
and so we asked
and the children said,
00:15:38.50\00:15:40.00
"Yeah, we want to try porridge."
00:15:40.04\00:15:41.70
And so we made porridge for
them and they were eating it.
00:15:41.74\00:15:44.77
Of course, we put a
little more honey...
00:15:44.81\00:15:46.51
They were eating and
eating it and I saw one child
00:15:46.54\00:15:48.84
go like this... he
took his finger and he went
00:15:48.88\00:15:50.41
all the way around his bowl;
00:15:50.45\00:15:52.31
I said, "This passed the test,"
now I was ready for the adults.
00:15:52.35\00:15:55.68
So I know it tastes good
I'm not even asking y'all
00:15:55.72\00:15:58.05
because the children told me.
00:15:58.09\00:15:59.59
Now what we'll do is
we'll go ahead and we'll add
00:15:59.62\00:16:03.63
3 more cups of
water right there...
00:16:03.66\00:16:10.20
And now a quick tip that
you all can benefit from...
00:16:10.47\00:16:15.64
If you like whole
milk, you add less water.
00:16:15.67\00:16:18.47
If you like skim milk
meaning like lighter milk,
00:16:18.51\00:16:21.44
then you will go ahead and
add more water, really simple,
00:16:21.48\00:16:25.85
and easy for everybody and then
00:16:25.88\00:16:27.38
we'll just mix this
up real quick for you.
00:16:27.42\00:16:29.75
Quick question - Do I have
to blend it for a long time?
00:16:38.36\00:16:40.36
No, because it has already
been blended so all we're trying
00:16:40.40\00:16:43.10
to do is mix it and now
we have our banana nut...
00:16:43.13\00:16:49.97
oh man, this is nice...
00:16:50.71\00:16:52.94
nice and thick!
00:16:52.97\00:16:55.74
Banana nut milk!
00:16:58.48\00:17:01.08
Really simple, easy, I
know you all will enjoy it.
00:17:01.12\00:17:04.75
As-a-matter-of-fact,
where's my cup?
00:17:04.79\00:17:06.15
I know if I had my cup
here, I would have had some
00:17:06.19\00:17:07.79
right now and so you
can definitely do that.
00:17:07.82\00:17:10.53
If you have a nut
allergy, no problem.
00:17:10.56\00:17:13.03
It's real simple how
to continue making this.
00:17:13.06\00:17:14.93
Instead of putting the cashews,
you would go ahead and you'd put
00:17:14.96\00:17:17.67
cooked brown rice or even...
00:17:17.70\00:17:20.04
anybody ever heard of oatmeal?
00:17:20.07\00:17:21.44
You can make your
own oatmeal just cook the
00:17:21.47\00:17:23.64
oats properly and take, what?
00:17:23.67\00:17:25.07
One cup, instead of the
cashews, you'd put that.
00:17:25.11\00:17:27.74
Cashews are
loaded with magnesium,
00:17:27.78\00:17:29.81
so a person who has
high blood pressure,
00:17:29.84\00:17:31.58
it helps as a result to
start to relax the muscles
00:17:31.61\00:17:34.92
and arteries so they
have a gradual decrease
00:17:34.95\00:17:37.39
in their blood
pressure, slowly but surely,
00:17:37.42\00:17:39.25
but let your doctor
know what you are doing.
00:17:39.29\00:17:40.82
I remember one time
when, one young lady,
00:17:40.86\00:17:42.96
she said, "It doesn't work
00:17:42.99\00:17:44.33
for my blood
pressure." I said, "Why not?"
00:17:44.36\00:17:45.69
She said, "My blood
pressure has been going up."
00:17:45.73\00:17:47.63
I said, "Why is that."
She said, "I don't know."
00:17:47.66\00:17:49.63
I asked her, "How long
have you been doing it?"
00:17:49.66\00:17:51.60
She said, "Well,
this is my second day."
00:17:51.63\00:17:53.44
I said, "Okay, very good."
00:17:53.47\00:17:57.51
I said, "How long have you
had this blood pressure for?"
00:17:57.54\00:18:00.21
She said, "20
years." I was like, "Oh my!"
00:18:00.24\00:18:01.84
At least give it
a little extra time.
00:18:02.81\00:18:04.61
The body wants to
know if you're tricking it
00:18:04.65\00:18:06.01
with a new diet or
something of that nature.
00:18:06.05\00:18:08.18
So I said, "If you don't mind,
00:18:08.22\00:18:09.55
let's go a little
prophetic on this..."
00:18:09.58\00:18:11.09
Every day in the Bible it
was significant of what? A year!
00:18:11.12\00:18:16.69
So I told her, "If you
had the problem for 20 years,
00:18:16.73\00:18:18.73
follow the plan for 20 days."
And you know what happened?
00:18:18.76\00:18:21.73
After 11 days, her
blood pressure came down;
00:18:21.76\00:18:25.37
she called the doctor, told him.
00:18:25.40\00:18:27.07
He told her to hold off,
cut the medication in half,
00:18:27.10\00:18:30.21
and she followed doctor's
instructions and now, today,
00:18:30.24\00:18:32.87
she is not
taking any medication,
00:18:32.91\00:18:34.41
according to the
doctor, and as a result,
00:18:34.44\00:18:36.78
no high blood pressure.
00:18:36.81\00:18:38.15
So simple things that you
can do that will bring healing
00:18:38.18\00:18:41.28
to God's people and if a
person is dealing with like
00:18:41.32\00:18:44.92
let's say,
cholesterol, almonds is good
00:18:44.95\00:18:47.22
to lower the cholesterol.
00:18:47.26\00:18:48.59
So what kind of nut
milk will we make here?
00:18:48.62\00:18:50.53
We'll make almond nut or banana
00:18:50.56\00:18:54.30
almond milk or
something like that.
00:18:54.33\00:18:56.23
Apricots is good for the
skin, so instead of banana,
00:18:56.26\00:18:58.83
you can put apricots in that.
00:18:58.87\00:19:00.50
And blueberries
are good for the eyes.
00:19:00.54\00:19:02.40
Have you ever
heard of blueberry milk?
00:19:02.44\00:19:04.01
Me neither, but hey,
maybe you could try it.
00:19:04.04\00:19:06.17
It's just something
new that came up today,
00:19:06.21\00:19:07.68
but it's not a secret,
you can go ahead and use
00:19:07.71\00:19:10.08
that and share it
with your friends.
00:19:10.11\00:19:11.45
And so the nut milks
are the easiest thing to do,
00:19:11.48\00:19:14.38
and if they have an
allergy, you can use the rice,
00:19:14.42\00:19:16.15
cooked rice or oats as well.
00:19:16.18\00:19:18.62
But we can't only have
that milk there for breakfast.
00:19:18.65\00:19:21.42
We need something to go
along with that - a nice cereal.
00:19:21.46\00:19:23.99
So our next recipe
is one of my favorites.
00:19:24.03\00:19:26.33
It's called "crispy
golden granola crunch."
00:19:26.36\00:19:29.26
And here it is...
00:19:29.30\00:19:30.70
The dry ingredients that
you will have is as follows:
00:19:30.73\00:19:33.23
Now for the wet
ingredients, all you need is:
00:19:55.96\00:19:57.59
Sea salt preferably.
00:20:07.80\00:20:09.50
Now don't play
around with this recipe.
00:20:09.54\00:20:11.24
This recipe is
dangerously good for you.
00:20:11.27\00:20:14.04
Why? Because it has so
much vitamins and minerals
00:20:14.08\00:20:19.05
and so much fiber
that it will keep things
00:20:19.08\00:20:21.48
moving along quite rapidly.
00:20:21.52\00:20:23.79
What we're going to do...
00:20:23.82\00:20:25.15
if you notice, it calls for
whole grain oats and quick oats,
00:20:25.19\00:20:30.26
or just rolled
oats and quick oats.
00:20:30.29\00:20:32.03
We like to mix it up a
little bit because if you just
00:20:32.06\00:20:34.20
have the regular rolled
oats, it will just be, you know,
00:20:34.23\00:20:38.27
just like rolled oats again,
but if you add a little bit
00:20:38.30\00:20:40.80
of quick oats to it, it
helps to give little clusters
00:20:40.84\00:20:44.37
and items of that nature so
you have nice crispy clusters.
00:20:44.41\00:20:48.01
Now for me, I don't like
dishes, so I like to try to do
00:20:48.04\00:20:50.88
everything in what
I'm cooking at once,
00:20:50.91\00:20:52.85
so I'm just going to pour
that into the same baking dish
00:20:52.88\00:20:55.98
that I'm going to
use for this recipe.
00:20:56.02\00:20:59.75
So I pour the oats
there, I have the mixed nuts,
00:20:59.79\00:21:02.96
I have some sliced
almonds, I have pecans.
00:21:02.99\00:21:06.16
You choose your favorite.
00:21:06.19\00:21:07.60
Whichever one works
best for you is fine.
00:21:07.63\00:21:10.97
So we have that there,
we're going to mix that
00:21:11.00\00:21:13.84
up nicely, then we're going
to add some of the coconut,
00:21:13.87\00:21:18.57
the shredded coconut,
preferably unsweetened.
00:21:18.61\00:21:21.68
Coconut is amazing, it's
excellent for the muscles,
00:21:21.71\00:21:25.05
and for the bones.
00:21:25.08\00:21:27.22
It's good for people dealing
with back problems as well.
00:21:27.25\00:21:30.72
And, it is very nourishing!
00:21:30.75\00:21:32.99
A lot of people still think
that coconut has cholesterol.
00:21:33.02\00:21:35.76
I don't know how
because it doesn't.
00:21:35.79\00:21:38.13
It has zero cholesterol; it
does have quite a bit of fat
00:21:38.16\00:21:41.53
which is actually helpful.
00:21:41.56\00:21:43.16
A lot of times, we go
on this no-fat diet craze
00:21:43.20\00:21:46.17
and stuff like that when
actually your body needs some
00:21:46.20\00:21:48.54
fat, but the fat that it's
going to get is the good fat,
00:21:48.57\00:21:51.17
the ones from the
nuts, as you see that we
00:21:51.21\00:21:52.71
just used here - the
one from the coconut,
00:21:52.74\00:21:55.04
and items of that nature.
00:21:55.08\00:21:56.81
So you mix those items
up properly and also the
00:21:56.85\00:22:00.28
whole grain flour,
this is going to add that
00:22:00.32\00:22:02.62
lightness to it
because you know, most granolas
00:22:02.65\00:22:05.65
that you'll find is very
heavy, and it's a heavy hitter
00:22:05.69\00:22:10.09
so it's actually good,
but this flour here will make
00:22:10.13\00:22:12.69
it nice and light for
you so you'll enjoy it.
00:22:12.73\00:22:15.23
So we'll just mix those items
up there and we're going to get
00:22:15.26\00:22:20.37
to the wet
ingredients right now.
00:22:20.40\00:22:22.30
Now I know a lot of people
are saying, "Well, salt is not
00:22:22.34\00:22:24.97
a wet ingredient -
it's a dry ingredient.
00:22:25.01\00:22:28.61
Why did we put the salt
into the wet ingredients?
00:22:28.64\00:22:31.05
A little rule of thumb anytime
you're making these recipes...
00:22:31.08\00:22:33.82
If I were to take this sea salt
and add it to this mixture here,
00:22:33.85\00:22:38.62
it probably wouldn't mix
properly, so a little rule of
00:22:38.65\00:22:41.12
thumb is always take
small, dry ingredients
00:22:41.16\00:22:44.39
such as the salt here
and put them into larger wet
00:22:44.43\00:22:48.06
ingredients so when
you mix them all up,
00:22:48.10\00:22:50.63
it gets proper distribution.
00:22:50.67\00:22:52.07
So when you put it in
here, you mix it properly
00:22:52.10\00:22:54.24
because if you only put
it in the dry ingredients
00:22:54.27\00:22:56.14
and you don't mix it properly,
one morning you're going to be
00:22:56.17\00:22:58.07
eating your nice
crispy, golden granola,
00:22:58.11\00:23:00.21
and you're just going
to get a salty bite...
00:23:00.24\00:23:01.68
You're going to say,
"Man, where did that come from?"
00:23:01.71\00:23:03.14
And it's because it
probably didn't mix properly.
00:23:03.18\00:23:05.25
So you want to put it in
the other wet ingredients
00:23:05.28\00:23:07.35
and let that
dissolve a little bit there.
00:23:07.38\00:23:09.28
We are also adding
that salt because of flavor,
00:23:09.32\00:23:12.05
and also works as a
nice preservative even though
00:23:12.09\00:23:15.96
this doesn't have a problem.
00:23:15.99\00:23:18.06
Now we're also adding 1/4
cup of blackstrap molasses.
00:23:18.09\00:23:24.73
Now can somebody tell me
why in the world are we adding
00:23:24.77\00:23:27.47
erhhh nasty,
blackstrap molasses to granola?
00:23:27.50\00:23:31.34
Well this blackstrap molasses
is loaded - I mean overloaded,
00:23:31.37\00:23:36.85
like overbooked with
calcium, calcium and magnesium.
00:23:36.88\00:23:41.65
So it's actually good for you.
00:23:41.68\00:23:43.55
So as-a-matter-of-fact, in
our program, we don't promote
00:23:43.59\00:23:45.95
the use of supplements
and different items like that,
00:23:45.99\00:23:47.86
we just try to choose the
food that has the vitamins
00:23:47.89\00:23:50.86
and minerals that we need and
then we'll just eat those foods,
00:23:50.89\00:23:53.60
as simple as that!
00:23:53.63\00:23:54.96
And so that's why we added
the blackstrap molasses to that.
00:23:55.00\00:23:59.30
And so a lot of people enjoy
that and with so much calcium
00:23:59.33\00:24:02.20
you can imagine what that
does for a person dealing with
00:24:02.24\00:24:04.67
osteoporosis and
items of that nature.
00:24:04.71\00:24:09.08
So then we're going to
add the honey to this as well.
00:24:09.11\00:24:12.58
Now I know it looks
like a lot of honey,
00:24:12.61\00:24:15.35
but man, don't worry
about it, you're not eating this
00:24:15.38\00:24:18.25
whole cereal at one time.
00:24:18.29\00:24:20.46
As-a-matter-of-fact, if
you're by yourself, this cereal
00:24:20.49\00:24:22.79
like myself, it lasts
for a month sometimes and so
00:24:22.82\00:24:26.33
don't worry about the
honey that's being added,
00:24:26.36\00:24:29.26
but if you are diabetic and
you want to watch out for the
00:24:29.30\00:24:32.00
sugar that is
being used... no problem,
00:24:32.03\00:24:34.04
just cut back on that.
00:24:34.07\00:24:35.40
A lot of people use what
is known as "agave nectar"
00:24:35.44\00:24:38.11
and different items which does
not increase the sugar too much.
00:24:38.14\00:24:43.98
So you just mix
those up properly.
00:24:44.01\00:24:45.75
If it's warm,
that will work too.
00:24:45.78\00:24:47.35
And then you take that
wet ingredient and add it
00:24:47.38\00:24:51.35
now to your dry ingredients.
00:24:51.39\00:24:53.49
All right, so you see
that there we have the honey,
00:24:53.52\00:24:57.49
we have the molasses, the
little pinch of salt there.
00:24:57.53\00:25:01.13
And you just mix this all up.
00:25:01.16\00:25:05.20
And you know why I'm not
too concerned about the honey
00:25:05.23\00:25:08.00
and the molasses and
stuff... is because if you ever
00:25:08.04\00:25:11.47
looked at how much sugar
these cereals that we buy
00:25:11.51\00:25:14.98
from the store
have, you will be shocked!
00:25:15.01\00:25:17.11
As-a-matter-of-fact,
there are so many
00:25:17.15\00:25:18.48
ways that they put it in...
00:25:18.51\00:25:19.85
They put it in as regular
sugar, then they put it in as
00:25:19.88\00:25:22.25
corn syrup, then they
put it in as high fructose,
00:25:22.28\00:25:25.09
and you're like, "Man, how
many times are you going to
00:25:25.12\00:25:26.96
add sugar to this cereal?"
00:25:26.99\00:25:28.32
But you know what, I
don't want to complain because
00:25:28.36\00:25:30.33
that's why I used to like
it and that's why we all love
00:25:30.36\00:25:32.39
these cereals that
we buy from the store.
00:25:32.43\00:25:34.00
But now, you don't have
to question that anymore
00:25:34.03\00:25:36.46
because you are
making the cereal yourself.
00:25:36.50\00:25:38.87
You remember how we
were talking about economy
00:25:38.90\00:25:41.44
where you can eat
more and pay less?
00:25:41.47\00:25:43.87
This is how you do
it, by making it yourself
00:25:43.91\00:25:46.71
and you don't have to
worry about the problems,
00:25:46.74\00:25:49.01
recession and stuff
will never affect you because
00:25:49.04\00:25:51.61
you did everything at home.
00:25:51.65\00:25:53.08
As-a-matter-of-fact, each
family that has applied these
00:25:53.11\00:25:56.15
simple principles of
cooking their own food,
00:25:56.18\00:25:58.89
making their own milks
and different items like that,
00:25:58.92\00:26:01.22
do you know, it has been
calculated that they will save
00:26:01.26\00:26:03.32
almost 4,500 U.S. dollars
a year just from doing it.
00:26:03.36\00:26:07.70
Who could use
about $4,500 in December?
00:26:07.73\00:26:10.47
I know y'all are
raising your hand.
00:26:10.50\00:26:11.83
Let me put 2 hands - I
could use about $4,500,
00:26:11.87\00:26:14.40
especially in December because
everybody wants something.
00:26:14.44\00:26:17.04
And you can do that just
by going ahead and starting
00:26:17.07\00:26:22.14
to make your own cereal.
00:26:22.18\00:26:23.71
Now this recipe, you
can mix it with your hand
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.98
and different items like
that or, as-a-matter-of-fact,
00:26:26.01\00:26:29.15
this is very good to
have the children make,
00:26:29.18\00:26:31.05
and they will make a
mess and don't spank them or
00:26:31.09\00:26:33.15
anything like that,
let them learn how to cook
00:26:33.19\00:26:35.29
now at a young
age... this is crucial,
00:26:35.32\00:26:38.16
so when they grow up,
they don't think that the
00:26:38.19\00:26:40.03
cereal - if you
ask some children,
00:26:40.06\00:26:41.46
"Where does cereal come
from," they'll say, "The box."
00:26:41.50\00:26:43.40
And this is not true...
now they will know cereal
00:26:43.43\00:26:46.17
came from my
kitchen, the V.I.P. room,
00:26:46.20\00:26:48.44
I made it myself, I know how
to do it and you will save them
00:26:48.47\00:26:51.57
a life of problems. Why?
00:26:51.61\00:26:52.94
Because you
taught them how to cook.
00:26:52.97\00:26:54.74
Let them make a mess,
let them have a good time,
00:26:54.78\00:26:57.05
and you will find that they
will actually be more eager to
00:26:57.08\00:26:59.85
eat this than if you
just made it yourself.
00:26:59.88\00:27:02.35
So go ahead and have a
good time with the kids.
00:27:02.38\00:27:04.49
What you do with this recipe now
00:27:04.52\00:27:06.45
is you take this and you
put this in the oven on low heat
00:27:06.49\00:27:09.99
at about 225 for about 2
hours because we want proper
00:27:10.03\00:27:14.10
cooking of those oats and
I know we don't have 2 hours,
00:27:14.13\00:27:18.23
we barely have 2 minutes
left, and so I went ahead and
00:27:18.27\00:27:22.30
prepared another batch
and let me get that for you
00:27:22.34\00:27:24.47
as we wrap up here.
00:27:24.51\00:27:26.37
And I just went ahead and
lined it up there with some nice
00:27:26.41\00:27:29.68
raspberries and we
know you will enjoy this.
00:27:29.71\00:27:33.82
This is the crispy,
golden granola that everybody
00:27:33.85\00:27:39.09
would enjoy - if you
want to add fruits to it,
00:27:39.12\00:27:40.92
you can go ahead...
just wait until you finish
00:27:40.96\00:27:43.16
before you add the fruits.
00:27:43.19\00:27:44.53
If you want to add raisins and
cranberries, you can do that,
00:27:44.56\00:27:48.43
just don't bake it
- wait until it's done
00:27:48.46\00:27:50.27
and then you can add that.
00:27:50.33\00:27:51.67
Go ahead and have it,
enjoy it, you will have a blast,
00:27:51.70\00:27:54.97
and let me know how it
works for you... go ahead!
00:27:55.00\00:27:58.47
