"If you're using a recipe that says a tablespoon of parsley, FORGET It, take a whole bunch, use it all" ! These ladies are so rock n roll, love em ❤️😍

When I make a soup or stew I’ll first fill my bowl with greens and then fill bowl with the hot soup or stew and let the heat wilt it while I eat it.

You should always wash greens before cooking or eating raw, even the organic greens. :-)

oh my GOSH how has KZfaq just NOW tossed me this gem!?! I've been part of the Plantstrong fam for so many years and LOVE these two! I'm a wfpb chef and medical nutrition specialist and live by the teachings of this RN and her MD dad and this is the most fun, educational and adorable cooking show ever! Thank you so much ladies!

I wish I was friends with these wonderful ladies!! I need people like this in my life.

I'm so grateful that I learned to make savory oatmeal with Anne Esselstyn. I've had oatmeal with kale almost every morning since I learned that recipe. I had a small heart attack almost 10 years ago. I found Whole Foods Plant-based eating about 2.5 years ago. Since then, I've lost over 75 lbs., and the doctor has taken me off all heart medications. Greens, greens, greens... and they MUST be anointed with a good quality balsamic vinegar. :-) Thank you so much Esselstyn family!

I’m crying thinking about how much greens I need to eat. I will get there.

Jane, your mom made me laugh so much. She's a trip. Love her!

I love these ladies. Dr. and son may be the famous ones, but these extraordinary ladies show us to have fun with and eat healthy food. 💖😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Where has this channel been all my life?! Love these ladies!

I agree with Ann, the broccoli stem, for me, is the best part of the veg.

I love your kitchen! It’s filled from top to bottom with healthy beautiful things- along with great natural light from those windows! So many cooking videos look like no one has ever stepped into the kitchen they use. What a shame. The kitchen is the center of a happy healthy home! (And thanks for the tips for getting more greens into our days - they are as beautiful as they are healthy!

YAY for greens! YAY for Dr. Esselstyn! Ate oats AND barley for breakfast today...! Ate greens for lunch and dinner! Thank you! I feel great at 62...no meds...no sick days in over 14 years!

Almost any greens are great steamed with turmeric and ginger. Take turmeric and ginger roots and shave thin slices off them with a peeler (or just chop up finely with a sharp knife) then sprinkle through the greens in the steamer. When they are cooked add a little soy sauce and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Mmmm! If you don’t have fresh ginger and turmeric roots you could make a dressing with ground ginger, ground turmeric, cider vinegar, tahini and some crushed garlic. Greens taste great tossed in that after they come out of the steamer because it is all the same flavours.

I just found this channel, and I'm soo grateful 😊 you both make me feel calm and okay about getting older and getting healthier. Everything's gunna be okay!

I absolutely love this video and feel grateful for finding your channel this morning!!! You all are so real, nothing fancy, just common sense, a real house, real cooking utensils, real women (my age, thank you!) and you really inspire me to buy even more greens and eat them all day long! Thank you, ladies!!!

My favorite part is when Ann found the stems Jane hid under the Napa cabbage, chopped them up and tossed them in the salad, lmao

I actually really enjoyed watching you cook because there were so many gems that I needed, I toss the stems of broccoli not knowing I should be eating it, Handfuls is a good form of measure, eating beet greens (they usually get tossed), rotation on all greens and not fixating on one. I need more like this to teach me true plant based cooking and eating. Cant wait to go back and watch old videos to learn more

HERE is the list of greens that she said that was on her dad's t-shirt, bok choy, swiss chard, kale , collard greens, turnip greens , mustard greens, beet greens, napa cabbage, brussel sprouts, broccoli, califlower (which to me is not a green) , cilantro, parsley , spinach, arugula , AND asparagus hahaha..

one of my favorite breakfasts is sprouted bread toasted, a thin layer of miso, red pepper hummus, some avocado, sauerkraut & tomato, topped with arugula

"My Mom taught me how to strip" LOL!!! That's the kind of stripping I think I would be good at! Thank you both for sharing your wisdom and humor!

I make Ginger's magic cheeze sauce. Boil a head of cauliflower, 1/2 an onion, 1-2 cloves garlic, a carrot, a pinch of Italian herbs, and a dash of red pepper flakes. Puree with 1 T lemon juice and 1/4 c nutritional yeast. It's great on nearly any dinner bowl and such an easy way to get in the greens.

I'm stuffing my home-made burritos with dark leafy greens and eating a salad a day. Plus a breakfast smoothy...

Whenever you steam, save and drink the steam water for a healthy mineral pick-me-up (use pure water of course).

Sulforaphane! Always chop your kale at least 45 minutes before steaming or cooking it! Love these ideas.

Watching these two interact is my favorite 😂

You know you’re hardcore vegan when your mouth is watering when watching a video about greens. Well done ladies!

i can't believe i'm the first comment in 4 years to notice these two young ladies and their vibrant cheeky beautiful tandem; what a team; now i know the secret behind the good doctors smile from ear to ear; he landed on his feet when he found Anne. Beautiful; coming to you from down under, 100 % LOVE your work ladies. hope i can look that great at 90. only another 20 years to go; hope to see you guys at a party on the other side one day and chat about all the blessings

I'm a huge fan of using raw collard greens (with the middle vein shaved close to the leaf) as wraps. I just julienne carrots, beets, green onions, beans, peppers and avocado/hummus and wrap it all up like a burrito. delicious

I wish there was a "love" button for this video! Brilliant!

I love to steam my de-stemmed kale. 2 min tops. Midway at 1 min, I stir to make sure it steams evenly. Then I put the warm kale in a bowl and top with a drizzle of a high quality balsamic vinegar (no caramel color).

There are lots of desserts you can make with steamed cauliflower, from chocolate parfait to frozen cake , it’s my favourite way of sneaking them in 😉

Arugula is the best, my absolute favorite. It really has a nice kick to it. It also has insanely high levels of nitrates, much higher than beets.

Yep! Working on PPN restaurant campaign with iHop regional manager for savory oatmeal bowls with steamed veggies, salsa, etc.

I streamed this a month ago on my television and couldn't remember the title of the video, butI had to comment.i see it is truly a family affair so awesome, just got my engine 2 rescue diet book, by Rip. Been transitioning to plant based since 12/18/2019 and have lost 12 pounds basically standing still. I am really enjoying learning from all of you!Thank you! - Hope

I've been seriously thinking about eating Plant foods, especially after 2 Hernia surgeries that almost killed me. After watching these 2 lovely sweet fun Ladies, I am convinced..

Oh, my! I am so glad I stumbled upon these ladies! They are fantastic! And I love your dad, I actually understood his scientific explaination of why to eat those greens.

Cauliflower bechamel in lasagne! Break up a whole head of cauliflower and boil in a few cups of water then, when it's soft, blend it with a quarter cup of the water, quarter cup of plant milk and half teaspoon of nutmeg. Use as the white layers in lasagne. Delicious.

Good afternoon l eat green vegetables every day to keep me healthy and exercise and drink lots of water. You guys keep up the great work.

I eat savory oats every single day. I add mushrooms, usually any greens i have in the frig, and nutritional yeast. Thank you so much Ann!

I love Ann’s anti-waste attitude! 👍 I need to start putting greens in my oat groats in the morning.

Steam the greens, then drink the "green tea", don't throw it away, it tastes great and is loaded with vitamins, it can also be used in broths and soups

I love the way you ladies present such enthusiasm and simplicity in promoting healthy eating.

I never thought of adding kale to my morning oatmeal! And I grew bags of it over the summer that are all in the freezer, thank you very much!

I put oat milk in the blender with two handfuls of spinach or whatever green I have on hand. Add Tumeric, pepper and cinnamon then pour over my oatmeal. I also LOVE beets. I slice them very thin and air fry them. They are crispy like chips and have a natural salty sweet taste.

Romaine is good to roll various foods in for hand held munch! Have also seen people taken bottom part that was broken off, put in water and grow more romaine in their apts! Thank you so very much for the help I really can use it.

I love arugula salad with lemon juice. Nutritional yeast olive oil and sprinkle of salt

These two are a hoot! Thanks so much for this fun reminder to get our assortment of greens 🥬❤️✨

My favorite breakfast is toasted whole wheat bread spread with roasted sweet potato (from my weekly batch-bake) and a big handful of whatever greens I have handy. I spice it up with various seasoning blends and sometimes a little sriracha or vegan kimchi. Great start to the day.

I'm an acid queen like Ann. That description of a kale-lemon-hummus sandwich made me crazy. Can't WAIT to try it. And I'm already bookmarking all the vinegars at The Olive Tap, thanks to Ann. 🥰

Boy do we need this channel.... We all need a good kick up the bum when it comes to buying / eating MORE GREENS !!!!!! Thank you I'll definitely be back☝️. Lovely women homely.

Great video! I make collard greens. Strip them, dice the stems then water saute with onion, garlic , and jalapeno. Finish with a little vinegar😃

Hi! Love your videos! I take the stripped kale stems and dehydrate them...pulverize once dry and throw it into whatever needs a vitamin greens boost! The sky is the limit!

I just love these two...so natural and lots of fun to watch.

Hi Ladies, I am 77 years young senior lady. ( TEXAS ) I am using your recipes. I found you both thru Chef AJ youtube shows. I am switiching to plant based. FYi i am Italian, but I am determined. Thank you. So Much. GOD Bless.

I wish they had explained WHY greens are so good for the heart. Great video..

Watercress are powerhouse greens!

I am also an acid queen....lol...enjoy all the various infused balsamics, lemon juice, lime, vinegars, etc. on my greens. Even love the old fashioned pepper sauce from the south, vinegar with peppers soaked in it...yummy! Due to health issues I have almost no stomach left, and cannot fit very large amts. of food into my body at a time. So, in order to eat plant based, I eat 5-6 small meals a day. And I do eat 2# greens a day. I also eat my daily oats...lol..( which I cook an entire weeks worth of oats in my pressure cooker on prep day ) .But on my prep day each week, I take some onion, sometimes some liquid smoke, depending on what I am making, or some smoked paprika. water saute the onions in this to give the greens a smoke flavor, then I put in a can of beans, type depending on what green I am cooking, then add a 1# bag of frozen greens, or fresh. Simmer until greens are tender, and divide it up into two servings. I make enough of this for two servings every day, and put into my fridge. I know not everyone thinks smoothies are good for you, but for me, it helps me get enough veggies, etc. down. I take two fruit servings, frozen, ( one serving is a frozen bananna ) 1/2# of supergreens I buy and actually just put the whole bag into freezer, and add just a bit of water, and make myself a frozen smoothie. I have a large thermos, and I sip on this throughout the morning. Then I prep 7- 1# bowls of salad greens, put a paper towel on top of the salad, put lid on and put into fridge upside down, the paper towel controlls the moisture, and the salad stays fresh for a week. I also make a salad bar in bottom of my fridge, and make marinagted veggies, beans, sliced beets, onions, carrotts, whatever looked good at grocery store, Put these into square shaped bowls, and inside one of those flatter TOTES containers like you get at walmart or target. I leave the lids off ( onions or other strong smelling veggies will need their own individual lids as well ) and put a pair of tongs on the box, put a lint free kitchen towel over the top, and put the big totes lid on top. It fits on the bottom shelf of my fridge. Every day, I take out my daily salad bowl, and my salad bar. I have a big wooden bowl, I put into the wooden bowl my daily 1# salad greens, and just pick and choose from my salad bar what I want inside. I then have a mezzalune knife, and I make a large chopped salad in the wooden bowl, using the mezalune knife that fits the round shape of the wooden bowl. Chopping the salad is tasty, and gets the volume down so I can handle it. Usually in divided servings with lunch and dinner. I eat other things, but this is how I get in my daily greens, and with my 12 hour work days, I just really depend on having the prep day each week. without the prep day, I find myself slipping and not doing well on my program. So for me it is essential.

Please do a storage video of all these beautiful greens 🥬 I am learning and need help keeping all of this fresh.

These women are so positive!!

Beautiful :) One tip for cooked spinach, or other greens, is instead of pressing it in a colander to drain it, press it in a potato ricer. The spinach remains intact but the water disappears quickly. It's perfect for casseroles or other dishes when you don't want excess moisture.

I'm like you Ann. Eat every part of the plant you can!! 😁

Often for breakfast I’ll fold some chopped greens into scrambled eggs, or microwave greens briefly & layer eggs & avocado slices onto them. A favorite recipe of my mother’s was to slice cucumbers super thin & soak in VERY salty water. Once the cukes are wilted, rinse off salt, drain, & serve with a little tarragon vinegar sprinkled over. This slides down easily even if you thought you were full!

I just love you girls. You are a blessing to me. And Dr. Esselstyn you rock too!

The stalk is my favorite part of broccoli!

This is one of the most helpful videos I have seen on the how-to's of plant based eating. I have struggled and struggled to get enough greens every day. I am working to become a healthy plant based eater--after years of undereating vegetables and after years of almost no greens. Now I feel I have practical ways to incorporate the greens. But one thing...could you make a Greens, Greens, Greens! followup video with more ways to incorporate the greens on a daily basis (and sometimes to sneak them in)--and perhaps after that-- two or three more videos on exactly the same topic (actually as many videos as you want on the same topic). I say this because getting enough greens is clearly so critical, as Dr. Esselstyn emphasizes. It is so easy to be a vegan and sadly-- very unhealthy. Thank you again for this video--and for all your other wonderful videos!

I love you two! You make me think of when I'm with my Sisters!! We all talk at the same time and finish each other's sentences!! GOD bless

When ann started getting mad about the broccoli stem, I started laughing. I do the same exact thing I just chop a little smaller so it still gets tender. Love it!

Broccoli stems are fantastic treats for my dogs too, they love them!

This was such a fun video. I learned a lot! It is tough to cover all the info needed - but I'd suggest some mention of washing up all those leaves. There can be dirt/grit that needs to be removed and managing the washing part is probably a video all in itself. It just comes down to a good routine.

Such an enjoyable video! I eat greens once a day, but as a thin guy in his twenties slowly gaining some weight, I really don't think I could eat this much greens and still have enough space in my stomach to fill it up with enough calories!

It's a tremendous feeling when you begin to see the HUGE positive outcomes of improving your diet. There are just so many. These ladies look great and have lots of energy. This is how we are meant to be. After you implement better ways of eating, your palate will also change for the better. Your cravings will decrease. In fact for me, I can no longer eat junk like doritoes, tuna fish from a can, any of that processed crap that I grew up on!

I make a big chopped green salad with all types of greens and with watercress and a bean-based dressing with tomato just before eating. At least 6 cups of salad every day.

I love the passion you both have for eating greens 🥬 Greens are a wonderful food.

Love when mom Ann bosses or corrects daughterJane . So endearing.

I only recently started adding stalks from broccoli and stems from greens to my cooked or raw greens. But I wasn’t wasting them. I saved them along with other veggie scraps and onion/garlic skins for homemade veggie broth. Now I’ll use only half in the broth and add the rest to my main dish! Thanks!

I'm with Ann on the parsley...stems and all! Buy all colors of cauliflower and mix them together after prepping them. Enjoy raw throughout the week. ❤

OMG - did she just drain the pot liqueur?!? That's the best part of stewed greens!

i love the two of you running back and forth with the fork!! you two ladies are WONDERFUL!!

Ladies thank you so very much for my new oatmeal breakfast of 1 cup rolled oatmeal, and now I add a handful of chopped kale to my soy milk, 1 tblspn ground flaxseed, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/2 cup blueberries and sprinkled with Ceylon cinnamon 😋😋😋😋😋 My breakfast will never be the same😋😋😋let me reiterate my thanks to you, your lovely Mom and your dad Dr. Esselstyn for my new breakfast😄

AWESOME video, I've been growing so much Arugula, I put it in my salad, and, it's like a tonic for my tummy, no more heart burn, or nasty burp ups! thank you so much for sharing!

I sprout a lot. One of my favorites is pea sprouts and beet sprouts. I was surprised that you did not add hand fulls to the salad.

I'm so delighted to see this video on greens. I am up to eating my greens four times a day left overs make for the six times a day.

My grandmother (a 7th Day Adventist her whole life) would shred Napa cabbage and then cut up a fresh pineapple into small chunks. Combining the two was a nice cole slaw we loved. She had a creamy dressing she used with just enough pineapple juice to lightly cover the cabbage. She also taught me how to make a tortilla sandwich. You take a tortilla (whole wheat or flour) and line it with a few whole leaves of Romaine lettuce, then line the inside of the lettuce leaves with lots of your favorite seasoned grains, pile it on. These ladies like humus, you could also use seasoned rice, quinoa, or whatever you have or like. Then tightly roll the tortilla up sideways, to keep the Romaine leaves whole, tucking in the ends of the tortilla as you roll. Then cut the sandwich in half. We got these in our school lunch bags sometimes, with the tortilla sandwich wrapped in waxed paper. So good.

Well I’m sold on this idea you two ladies are the new golden girls I love your mom she so cute and running with the fork adorable green is the new fountain of youth keeps you healthy ❤️

I always have cooked greens in the fridge ready for whatever! I love a littler dab of hummus on top!! Maybe a little diced red onion too.

I like that Ann didn’t play dumb about the arugula/rocket. She is great, what an inspiration.

WFPB guru chefs.👍 my hero .

Beet greens have always been my favorite greens! 🌰🌱🌱🌱🌱

I finely grate cauliflower and put it liberally all over my green salads, It looks like rice, but has all the flavour and goodness you would expect and leaves more room on the plate for other delicious greens. If I use a sour lemon dressing, which I love, I will place a few small, sweet pineapple chunks in the salad, as well as some Japanese-style pickled ginger slices. These flavours burst in the mouth from time to time and make a lovely contrast to the sour of the dressing. I love these ladies. They inspire me every time I see them. Thank you.

I eat a mix of veggies with my oatmeal every morning. I love to eat it savory with a mix of chilies, garlic and ginger that is minced and stored in a jar with rice vinegar and water. I add a spoon of the mixture and some soy sauce and it’s delicious. Glad to see Ann eats greens with her oatmeal. I steam up zucchini, green beans, kale, red pepper and store it in the fridge to add to the oatmeal in the morning. Love morning veggies!

I was just diagnosed with T2D. I happened to find your video by mistake. I want to thank you for saving my life. I am plant based, loosing weight and all because of your inspirational videos.

Yet another fantastic video girls! Since I was not raised eating all these nutritious foods, I need all the education I can get on how the different types of greens look and how to prepare and cook them. Thanks for more tips on healthier eating! Thanks for all you do!

What fun, you two cooking together!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!

I have a stem problem but I have autism with tactile issues. I've recently turned vegan, but I'm also a celiac with lactose intolerance. Meat was tearing my stomach up and I hated eggs. So I went vegan. I've lost 30lbs in 2 months! I feel like I'm having to eat more than I ever did though to get in enough nutrients. Thank you for this video! I'm looking for more ways to fix my veggies! I love how vegetables are starting to taste better to me now and I actually crave them!

I fast 20 hours a day which means I eat only once a day. I break my fast at 5pm with a giant bowl of spinach leaves and slices of apple.its delicious. Then I eat a meal. I haven't been sick for years and have massive amounts energy.

Beet greens are delicious! And you are SO correct: cooked greens diminish to next to nothing--I found that out cooking for many, feeding just a few, oy. TY for including the "normally" (idiotically) discarded greens. 💓

Super inspiring ! I want to be plant based...raised with meat & potatoes ~ never had a salad until I was in my 20’s....so this is all new to me. You girls make it look fun...and you’re apparently healthy and have a ton of energy. I’m 71 years old so I’m going to be using your ideas. Grateful. ❤️

Love you two. Your mom is adorable! I want to eat more greens, just watching you two.

My daughters and I were making the Green Lightning bowl together, and laughing over being like Ann and Jane. My daughter got out her juicer and then her reamer (which I gave her..) . We laughed about how we do things differently and, just like you all, we comment on how each other does whatever it is. I do have one thought about the GL bowl. I added the pasta hot from cooking to the chopped kale, and it slightly softened and tenderized the kale. I added the tofu hot as well. It is a great recipe! I am addicted to it.
