My favorite breakfast, which I have every single morning, is - 1 Dr Preager's California vegan burger, 1 Dave's Killer Bread hamburger bun, slice of onion, slice of tomato, dill pickles & French's mustard. .Since 2010 I have lost 155 lbs. The bulk of it came off, 85 lbs, in the last 13 months. I have been Starch Solution for the last 8 years. On August 28, 2023 I watched a video from Joey Troxel of Plant Based Dads and he described me - plant based but very little weight loss. From that day through today I have kept track of my calories using the Chronometer app. I follow the Starch Solution totally and I figured out my BMI which is really low. Based on that figure I allow myself 1300 to 1400 calories a day and I have a walking goal of 7500 steps a day. I turned 80 on this past November 3rd.
@@sisterdi64 Amazing! 80 years old! And still willing to figure out how to eat healthy. I think that is worth celebrating. And that sandwich sounds delicious! Especially with the pickles and mustard. Yum!!
I love to make herbal tea to use as the water for my oatmeal. I add fruit (mixed berries, apples, banana, or other), some zucchini, and shredded carrots. I also add flax/chia mix, hemp seeds, a chopped nut seed mix, and pumpkin pie/apple pie spice mix. I've never thought of putting lentils in the oats. I'll definitely have to try it. Your oatmeal looked really good. Thank you for sharing.
Hi thanks for you and so many other channels like yours I know try different ways to eat oats. I just had my oats with lentils. Yummy😋 I am not plant based but enjoy eating variety of foods especially different ways with veggies.
@@leciablackmon3817 That’s great! My goal is to influence anyone who wants to add more plant-based foods to their lifestyle. Variety is the key!! So glad you said hello!
Great video, Ellen. Thanks for your recipe and the details in your video. I’d like to see your granola and yogurt recipes too. I also eat oatmeal every day, with 1/2 cup of oats, 1 cup of soy milk, 1/2 serving of protein powder and some frozen blueberries. I’ve added riced cauliflower too, but haven’t been able to get it at Costco lately. Yours looks good with all of your additions!
Hey Colleen, welcome! The granola and yogurt recipes are forthcoming. I have an entire calendar planned for recipe sharing here on TH-cam. The good thing about frozen riced cauliflower is that it is available at most grocery stores. Worse comes to worse, you can always grate/rice it yourself by putting raw cauliflower through a food processor or blender, and then freezing it. I appreciate your feedback and look forward to hearing from you again! 🍃
Would love to see the granola recipe! Also, do you rice your own cauliflower, I noticed yours was in a container. I love my oatmeal right now with zucchini, carrots, cauliflower, and apples…yummy!!! Thanks for the video, Ellen, I love your passion for plant-based living💚🥦🥰
Thank you for the suggestion. I will do a granola recipe video and you will be blown away by how whpbno friendly it is! I know I was!!! And I don't rice my cauliflower. I buy it frozen from Whole Foods. I've tried different stores and I like theirs the best. Thank you for your inspiration, Shauna!!!
Also, the bag that the Whole Foods frozen riced cauliflower comes in is very hard to pour out of so I put it in an easy to access plastic container and stick it in the freezer.
@@ellenshealthykitchen I need help with sauces that are fast and easy. Thank you so much! Oh also a savory oat version still incorporating the frozen cauliflower, zucchini, red lentils but minus the banana and fruit. It triggers indulgence all day for me
I'm so happy for this channel :) thank you thank you. Love your top! Where did you find? also the step-by-step is so great. Love your black lentil label. Where did you find this? love seeing all the amounts too. Thank you Ellen
The sweatshirt was bought at a local store about a year ago. I love it too! Glad you like the step by step. The lentil label is one of those write on chalk labels I got on amazon. It's kinda fun to use them but tbh I now just use green painter's tape, LOL!
Hey good morning Cindy! It is my go-to oatmeal brekkie. And it is so filling and satisfying. It covers all the bases for me. Are you an oatmeal person?
Yes Kelly! I will be doing so. It's in my list of upcoming videos. Thank you for your interest. I'm a granola geek! My recipe is low fat and delicious!
@@katydunn6064 it’s coming!!!! I’ll also be sharing it first in my email newsletter. Let me know if you want the link to subscribe. It’s also in the show notes of this video. The granola is INSANELY delish!
New to your channel. I can not eat any fruits except apple......due to allergies. I have a lot of allergies to spices also. Makes eating plant based really hard. No soy either.
Welcome. So glad you're here. You have your work cut out for you, considering your allergies. Apples are certainly a good thing to be able to eat AND there are so many different ways to prepare them. Do you prefer them cooked or raw? And what about spices? Which ones can you eat safely?
@@ellenshealthykitchen I can have garlic, onion, dill, parsley.........no chili powder, no hot peppers, no cinnamon, cumin, nutmeg, cilantro, Nutritional Yeast, no soy, no BBQ, no mustard, no hot sauce, no nuts, no berries, no citrus, no watermelon, no lemons..........and more
@ That is a long list. And a challenging one. I wish you the very best luck navigating that. I know that celiac opened my eyes to a world of possibilities. But it took awhile for me to stop feeling like I was missing out. Eventually I got to a place where I realized that there were still things that I could eat, as long as they didn’t include gluten. What is your best recommendation for others going through what you’re going through and how to survive?
@@leahhoward7375 It’s coming for sure. I can’t wait to share it. I’ll also be sharing it in my email newsletter. You can subscribe through the link in the show notes of this video. If you need the link, let me know!
I'm so pleased to know you are using your fruit, even if it is mushy. I am a big proponent of not wasting food, so I also try and use everything in my fridge. Yay for you!
@ Don’t ya just want to shout it to the world?!? No more deprivation! No more counting and weighing and measuring!!!! So glad you stopped by!! Plz stay in touch!
@@suzannehanna9582you go!!!! Keep doing it. And I agree. Wish I’d started much earlier. But here we are and I’m not looking back! I adore this way of eating!!!
The other ingredients including the lentils, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini and all the fruit and flaxmeal does the trick for me. When I made the same combo with 1/2 c oats, I would always get too uncomfortably full so I backed it to 1/4 c oats. But everyone is different. My sister makes the same recipe but she uses 1/2 c oats and adjusts the other ingredients accordingly. Like I say, you do you bc nobody else knows your body better than you!
I will not eat oatmeal cooked in a pot. The texture does not work for me. I will eat it toasted in granola and othe applications, just no like porridge.
I would not do that. This is a breakfast I have been eating every day for the last six years and I love it! I appreciate that you have a different point of view, that’s what makes the world go round.

Sounds like a perfect meal to me! I so appreciate your stopping by and sharing your meal with us. Keep up the great work!

@@janetpenney8397 That is spectacular! It is my supreme hope to help others feel the food freedom that I do.
Love the Party in a Bowl idea🥳
@@dianedecker8219 HAHA. It is definitely a party in a bowl! Lots going on and lots of yummy tastes to enjoy.
I would love to see how to make the soy yogurt! Thank you
@@sheilam283 Keep your eyes peeled. I’m making it this weekend and will post a video next week.

@@ellenshealthykitchen Nice, I like that much better than the bags and you can use a measuring scoop too!!
@starchyshauna Yes it works much better. Some of the bags are really hard to stick a spoon or scoop into.
@starchyshauna yes some of the freezer bags are hard to get a spoon or scoop in or out of.
Great job! I never would’ve thought to put all of that in oatmeal but it sounds like a great way to add flavor and nutrients.

That very ripe banana raises your blood sugar more than the maple syrup
@@brendawood6712 Thank you for your comment.
That breakfast keeps you full for 5 hrs? Are you and your husband very physically active? I can't normally go that long on 1/4 c oats.

@@ellenshealthykitchen Thank you. It looks delicious with all the other add ins.
Have you tried this recipe with steel cut oats?
Not yet! But I’ll put it on my “to try” list.
I will not eat oatmeal cooked in a pot. The texture does not work for me. I will eat it toasted in granola and othe applications, just no like porridge.
@@marciedge4938 Have you tried steel cut oats? Different texture. You might like them better.
I do not like oatmeal or other grains.
I hear you. What are some grains you like?
White rice
@ have you ever had rice pudding for breakfast? You could really zhoosh it up with all the extra add ins that I put in my oatmeal.
I've never had rice pudding i need to give it a try when I find a recipe
Might as well throw in the garbage can.
I would not do that. This is a breakfast I have been eating every day for the last six years and I love it! I appreciate that you have a different point of view, that’s what makes the world go round.
