I really wanted to hear what your Dad had to say. I am not sure why there is such a rush? Lovely to see the family. 🙏🏼💕

That was so nice!!! Love to see the Esselstyn family having breakfast! But please don't interrupt the good doctor when he speaks,,,,we don't want to miss a single word he says! Love you all! ❤❤

My favorite part of this video is Dr. Esselstyn, showing how he makes his breakfast. He's such a doll! And he kept on with his beautiful message of education, from a scientific perspective, to us. Love you, Dr. Esselstyn!

Jane, Don’t let the negative comments get you down! Even though the videos must be a lot of work for you, PLEASE keep them coming. Your attitude toward healthy eating is giving many of us the motivation we need to stay on the WFPB track. Your and Ann’s enthusiasm for healthy eating is contagious. My heart melted when your Mom looked at your Dad. LOVE was written all over her face!

I came to this family via the one and only Dr. Esselstyn. When he speaks, I don't even blink. As much as I loved this video, I wish Dr. Esselstyn would have been able to enlighten us uninterrupted. I also would have loved to hear the daughter share how she prepared her oats. No matter - great energy - I just assume the family is used to "Essie" (as I heard Jane say) hence, the rushing. lol. . . more cameos from Dr. E please - Love y'all!

I felt bad that the older gentleman was interrupted, otherwise I liked your family video

I really enjoyed seeing the Esselstyn family breakfast. I wish Jane would have allowed her dad to finish speaking before asking her daughter to come show us her oats. I love hearing Dr. Esselstyn speak, especially when he is telling us why/how to eat. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year to all the Esselstyn family!

Why is Jane always in such a hurry. I loved seeing her dad and getting the real scoop on oatmeal. Relax, teach, and inspire in a calm manner!

Dr. E walks in and just takes control! I love it! He’s an awesome dude! One of my heroes!

Dr Esselstyn is not a man who demands he's listened to. The lively women in this family are hilarious but they bounce off the stable energy of the quiet, authoritative father. I love this family and would gladly listen to the doctor all day long.

Aww! I love to see the Great Dr surprise us. he’s such a celebrity! You guys are so lucky to have him. Daughters shouldn’t talk over their Moms or Dads, just saying. Thanks you guys!

I love the chaos of this video. Isn’t that how family should be? You guys are so awesome

Caldwell Esselstyn is a rockstar who should have a Nobel Prize.

Would liked of heard the dr speak respect your parents he is mostly the reason people are watching❤

I am so thankful for my well mannered children!

Let the doctor E be himself.. you just showed that you guys don't appreciate his old-school ways of doing things.. he's lovely and adorable to say the least.. I don't always ask people to respect the elderly people.. but these are hidden gems

Loved seeing Dr. E on! Wished he hadn't been interrupted, talked over & pushed aside. Were you under a time constraint? We aren't!! Let it rip!

I love this video! We got to watch a real family interact with each other. Dr. Esselstyn may be a god to us, but at home he is just one of the family they are free to talk over. "A prophet is without honor in his own country." I have oatmeal every morning. I put 1/2 rolled oats in a thermos and then add 1 cup of boiling water from the tea kettle. It's done it about 20 minutes, by then I have taken a shower and gotten dress. I always add 1/2 a banana, and two 1/2 cups of fruit.

I don't understand the criticism. I love the way you interact with your family, and this video is perfect. ❤️ It was a joy to watch.

I make baked oats once or twice a week. 4 cups rolled oats, 2.5 cups unsweetened applesauce, 2 cups riced cauliflower, 2.5 cups plant milk, 3 cups frozen berries, 3 Tbsp. ground flax meal, 3 Tbsp. cinnamon, 2 tsp. vanilla, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional). Mix it all together, pour into a 9 x 13 baking pan and bake at 400F for 40-50 minutes. Stores well in the fridge, and is just as delicious cold as it is hot.

Jane, honey you are being very rude. We Love to hear ALL of your family speak as you are all inspirational. Keep up the good work-All of you.

I couldn't hear your daughter either. How about allowing your father to finish demonstrating his breakfast before asking your daughter to show hers? I love the information presented in these videos, but I feel Jane tends to talk over people (usually Anne or in this case Dr Esselstyn). Why not let them finish talking then continue with whatever information you want to provide? I hope this criticism comes across as constructive and not as negative. I do enjoy the information provided by the Esselstyn family.

New subbie here, I feel bad for Dr. E being interrupted. But I know he loves you so much. Just don't rush. We can spare a long time watching your family in the kitchen

Family chaos at its royal finest - awesome family xxx

I literally LOVE that family. They are a real, funny, healthy and loving people. Thank you for all your work. 💓

I know this is an older video, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and wanted to share the way my daughter has oats for LUNCH everyday. Since she has severe food allergies, I created a "protein cookie" for her school lunch... which consists of pureed veggies (typically beets and carrots and sweet potatoes), pureed mixed beans, oats and a few dairy-free chocolate chips to "sweeten" the deal!

A glimpse into Esselstyn family morning! Love the organic feel of this video. People shouldn’t be so critical, their video their way! Lovely.

The legend showed up! 👍

Enjoyed the real part of a family and all the messy dynamics that come with it. It is real life family not actors, even though we may be uncomfortable with it. This is not a 1950s leave it to beaver perspective they are giving us. How wonderful that they have the courage to show it like it is. The strength of the message here is there are all different ways to buy into the challenge of getting healthy and no matter the ph.D, medical degree age or experience, we all can meet the challenge from our own perspective and personal style. Keep at it Jane and Ann. You are refreshingly real.

I love how positive people were in offering their constructive criticism. I enjoy these videos but had to cut it off because I was so put off by the interrupting, talking over and trying to cram everyone in at the same time. I wanted to hear Dr. Esselstyn and Jane's daughter...I could do neither. May you all have a happy, healthy 2019.

I cook my steal cut oats for about 15 minutes. My husband thought undercooking them would make me sick. So I'm so glad to hear Ann cooks hers less too! I'm going to make him watch this when he gets home!

Shredded wheat, rolled oats, grapenuts, flaxseed, berries, banana and unsweetened soymilk, which I got from Dr. Esselstyn's original book has been my staple breakfast for over 10 years now. I love it. I go to bed at night excited for when I wake up and can have my breakfast. It is by far my favorite meal of the day. Thank you for all you do and all the information you have shared with the world. As far as the other comment below this one. Do not change a thing. You are a family being a family. Showing how close of a family you are. Keep up the great videos.

Let the Dr speak 😍

I loved this video on so many levels!!!! So much to unpack (had to watch twice). THANK YOU!!!!! LEFT TO SOAK OVERNIGHT : 600g home made soya milk 100g oats 30g ground nuts 30g freshly ground flax (in coffee bean grinder) 150g frozen berries and a sprinkling of dried ginger, *turmeric* and cinnamon MORNING : All the above into the microwave for six minutes (until the oats rise) 3-4 items of fresh fruit: banana, orange, apple, pear, peach, kiwi, etc. chopped and added. I know it's a bit of a big breakfast, but I love it!!!! Best meal of the day.

I vote for Essy's breakfast. That looks yummy with the berries. I sometimes make steel cut oats in my Instant Pot with apples and cinnamon and ground flaxseed and plant milk.

Dr.Esselstyn is my kind of man...act as you are...and offcourse the rest of the family is also wonderful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Big smile seeing Dr Esselstyn:)

Brilliant channel. Dr Esselstyn is my hero.

what an amazing family it would be so awesome to have anyone to share a plant-based meal with - southern US goals. I might have to start my own plant-based eatery that would be much fun to be had.

Because Dr. Esselstyn is the expert here, I'd much rather listen to his advise! Obviously "Daddy" has been taught good manners, but it appears no one else has been told it's rude to interrupt people when they are speaking. Thank you for the advice about eating oats - raw.

Folks I think that this is their family dynamic. No one was fazed by the way Jane behaved. It seems like the family is quite comfortable with it.

Love seeing all of you. Great to see your dad join in on the fun!

What a joy to see your parents together with you.

Wow! Lots of good prep ideas! TFS!

I LOVE this family, but when Dr. Esselstyn comes in with his gentle good nature and starts talking - about the most complex stuff on the planet, he does it in such a nice way that makes me just want to listen to him talk about endothelial cells all day long. He's like a hug in a big navy sweater! I might have to secretly adopt this family!!! Very encouraging and doable recipes and methods- keep it up everyone!

Love seeing you all be natural and go about your business making breakfast. Hard to do with a limited amount of time. Loved it!

Loved the info, that you kept it real, no second take, go with your hands. It's your family!

I put my oats as oat flour into muffins. Last night, I made corn butter (the recipe from Forks and Knives website). And I had some corn pulp left over which I didn't want to waste. Put that with some butternut squash puree and some raisins. Eating the oat and corn muffins this morning topped with my corn butter. So tasty and filling!

Poor Daddy. He was talking and everybody were talking at the same time. What a lovely family

Love the family mish mash!

It is such a TREAT to see the whole family getting their breakfast together! I love the doc. He's always great to watch, but my favorite is Jane as she is always keeping track of everything going on, trying to juggle her attention between who needs what, and who's standing where, to make sure we get the best result as viewers. Love your efforts Jane! What I personally do for my oats, is I pour hot water from the kettle over 1 cup of oats (enough to cover and go about 1/2 inch above the oat line), then I shower, and when I'm ready, they're ready and have absorbed almost all the water. I eyeball some cold oat milk over them, and add whatever fruit I want/have. I LOVE oats with (Ontario) peaches in the summer! Mmmmm!

These videos are terrific. This is what I had for breakfast this morning: The night before, place 1/2 cup organic steel cut oats in a small saucepan, pour in 1 cup water and stir, soak overnight. Next morning drain, cover with water, and simmer until thickened. Place half of the cooked oatmeal in a bowl with 1 ripe banana, mashed, 1 t. pure maple syrup, few chopped walnuts, and generous sprinkle of cinnamon. Save the other half of the cooked oatmeal for tomorrow's breakfast.

Fun video but why not let one person finish before the next one starts!

Very enlightening to see the different ways oats are consumed by each and I found the family just being family -don’t let the mind tell you otherwise -and this family is wonderful from where I sat. I find Jane striking and beautiful so don’t notice any what others are sharing here- appreciate all the family does and their willingness to share as they do 🙏🏻

Dr. Ess!!!!!! Love this man for breaking down the endothelial system--it helps me make good choices when buying groceries. To Dr. Ess, wholehearted thanks.

Good Morning & thanks for showing the different ways you each prepare & enjoy oats for breakfast…or any other time of day…as your ever soothing, calming & darling father pointed out❣️

I'm following Dr. Esselstyn's diet & loving my oats in the morning. Love the whole family.

Love this family especially Dr E. and his wife!

Loved that you demonstrated everyone’s individual tastes with oats. That’s real life!! 💕happy 2019!!

It's obvious how much you love and respect your family. One slightly bumbly video trying to herd the crew for a social media video does not merit the comments here about disrespect. Loved seeing you all together. I think you're great and your family dynamic is endearing. Love to see the banter between you and your Mom.

I'm with Brian. That's how I do it as well.

What delightful family breakfast tradition. Not surprising that how fit they all are.

We make steel cut oats in an Instant pot. Hardly takes any time at all. We refrigerate what is not eaten for breakfast. We don't use sugar at all. We put raisins with a little soy milk on the oats. Great healthy breakfast.

I met Rip at Whole Foods in Cranston and the knowledge he shared changed my life! It’s so nice seeing the family all on board! What a blessing you all are!

I really don’t understand why these ladies interrupt each other all the time and even when Dr. Esselstyn is on. We do enjoy hearing from him. I do love the channel. Courtesy listens when someone talks.

He is my hero. After my heart attack, at 55, I followed his device to the letter. Hopefully this will prevent me from ever having that problem again. I actually eat a similar breakfast from before my vegan days.

Love your videos, Jane and Ann! It’s great to see the family as you are. You have helped Murray and me and many of our Kamloops plant-based friends. Thank you for all your good work!

Rolled oats have already been steamed, so that’s why it’s easy to just soak and eat. I like the energy of everyone talking and interrupting.

Dr. E needs his own show. 🤣

Essy steals the show!!! So wonderful to see him with the fam. 😁

oh wow great to see the family ...Happy New Year!!!

I am someone who is trying to follow Dr. Esselstyn's guidelines perfectly so I really wanted to hear how this meal will help you maintain your weight. Very interesting to me!

cooked oats with banana, cinnamon, ground flax, maple syrup, and soy milk. So good!

I love this video because this is a real family setting with interruptions and all. Just like any family. It’s more relatable and I’m glad it’s not pre-rehearsed as to make it a more “perfect family” setting. I love the Esselstyn family too, they’re soooo cute. ❤️

The head honcho!!!!! Love seeing everyone together!

Beautiful Family

Hi lovely folks! I am so grateful for you ladies...you certainly don't have to generously share your recipes and time with us your fans...I'm thankful you do. May I ask do you have any Dutch oven recipes, suggestions and/or advice? I adore my Dutch oven but have not been able to find many plant based recipes to incorporate into my favorite way of cooking. If you need a challenge girls...here ya go! ♡

They turned me on to non-cooked oats. I’m loving oat groats soaked in water for 12-16 hours, then drained. I keep the soaked oat groats in the fridge, and microwave for a minute in the morning, add blueberries and ground chia seeds, maybe some maple syrup. Yum!

What a blessing it was to see you ladies with Dr Esselstyn together!!! Thank you for sharing your family and all the wonderful ways to eat our oats!!!

I love oatmeal....I eat it every day! yummm I will take a picture tomorrow. thank you!

Love this family!! and I love my morning oats. I soak 1 cup of steal cut oats overnight. Next morning I drain them and place in a pot with 3 cups of liquid, ( usually 2cups of water and 1 cup of some nut or oat milk, or even light coconut milk.) I cook them for 15 min. Pour some in a bowl and pack the rest in a container. Each morning I scoop some into a pot, add a liitle more plant milk and warm it up. This amount lasts me 4 days. I add tons of mixed berries, turmeric, pepper, cinnamon, flax seed, and a few nuts. YUM!!!

aww Dr Esselystyn is so cute...lovely family

I understand the comment, but I think the beauty of her videos is the typical chaos of your average family crowding around the kitchen in the morning or throughout the day. I like that the videos aren't stuffy in some high end kitchen. This is just a lovely average family being real. Jane doesn't mean any harm by it. I think they all actually forget that they are on camera. Honestly, people, the world would be a lot better place if people did not criticize every little thing that other people do or say. If you don't like the home style casual nature of the video...move along. If you like it then continue watching. My message to Jane...continue to be yourself. It's obvious that you adore your Mom and Dad. Besides, I'm sure you had to be a take charge person to be a good nurse. That's coming to you from a pharmacist. Always enjoy your content. Keep up the great work....I love the work your Dad has done throughout the years. Wonderful physician and a great man.

I agree with the comments below and have said it before... Jane, we love you... but let other's speak!!! I would much rather watch a longer video than see you interrupt your Mom all the time and now to interrupt your Dad?!?!?!!? Please either let them speak or do your own thing without them. Happy New Year!

😍I love mine with one date cooking in with the oats &water on the stove top ..then top it with a little vegan dark chocolate chips,one banana sliced,some blueberries ,cinnamon and coconut/almond milk😋👍🏻So good!❤🍜

This is absolutely precious! Hands in the oat jar like the rest of us - what a hoot! Jane, I usually have leftovers for breakfast as well. I don’t like eating just oats so use other recipes that contain oats.

Brilliant video Jane, I love the chaos and the way you try to get everyone their slot although I agree a longer video would be fine so we can listen to everyone speak.

Loved Ann's version and made some on Monday! Savory steelcut oats with mushrooms and kale ROCK!

I love to listen to Mr. Esselstyn rambling about health.

I think this was just beautiful! Thank you for sharing!!

Great ideas! Loved seeing the family! Thank you!

I just found your channel and subscribed. I just love your family interactions! Looking forward to watching more of your videos! TY!

Fun to have whole family. Thank you for sharing your breakfasts!

By coincidence, I was eating my overnight oats while watching this. 1/3 cup rolled oats 1 tsp chia seeds 1/4 cup milk 1/4 cup water 2 tbsn Greek yoghurt 1/2 tsp vanilla extract 2 tspn maple syrup Add fruit of choice - diced strawberries, blueberries, grated apple & cinnamon). Place all in a jar, top with lid and shake well. Leave over night then enjoy topped withmore of the fruit. 😋😋😋

You guys are so fun to watch!

I use the rice cooker every morning for steel cut oats works like a charm. I use boiling water. Then I decided to add a tablespoon of regular oats for more texture. Now I am experimenting with adding oat groats Probably will start with them and add other two types half way through cooking time. Then I top it all with a mixture of frozen berries ,flax seed and chia seed. Fresh grated turmeric and a pinch of black pepper Delicious!!

Fun video! Great to see the family together!

This is too much fun! I love seeing all of you together OMG...it's just like breakfast with a family that actually talks and is active and there's several things going on at once.

I love how UNproduced this is! I feel like I dropped by your house and I'm on the other side of the kitchen bar watching you guys trying to explain your breakfasts.

I loved this. I’m going to be honest, I’m not used to plant perfect so I don’t know if this is allowed. But I sometimes like to add a small amount of peanut butter to my oats and use frozen berries. Seriously, it’s like pb&j oats!
