PROCESSING THE TESTS WILL HAVE
TO WAIT.

THINKING ABOUT CHANGING YOUR
EATING HABITS MICHAEL VEGAN AND
CHEF PERSONALITY WILL CHANGE
YOUR MIND ABOUT A A VEGAN DIET.
Kelly: GOOD MORNING,
DALLIS.
Reporter: GOOD MORNING.
KRISTINE AND KELLY.
I TOOK THESE OUT OF THE OVEN.
TODAY IS SWEET POTATO DAY.

THANKSGIVING HERE AT THE DOWN TO
EARTH HONOLULU COMMUNITY ROOM.
HERE WITH US IS MICHAEL MIKE THE VEGAN.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
*THOSE ARE THE JAPANESE SWEET
POTATOES.

THEY ARE MY FAVORITE FOOD.

MINUTES OR SO, DEPEN ON YOUR --
DEPENDING ON YOUR OVEN.
SUPER GOOD.
I DIDN'T COOK THEM FOR THEIR
LOOKS.

HEALTHY TOO.
PERFECT FOR AN AFTERNOON SNACK.

MAKING A SWEET POTATO SMOOTHIE
SLASH
SMOOTHIE/ACAI BOWL.
THEY HELP YOU CAN DIABETES
AND HEART DISEASE.
AND JUST MAKING SURE IT'S LOW
SATURATED FAT, HEALTHY PLANT
BASED MEAL.
WE'RE GOING TO DEASHING THIS OUT --
DECK THIS OUT AND GIVE IT A TRY.
ING.
WE WERE BLENDING DURING
COMMERCIAL BREAK.
IT LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT.
TONIGHT'S CONVERSATION AT THE
ALA~WAI GOLF COURSE AT 7:00 IS
DEBUNKING SOME LAST VEGAN MYTHS.
IT COULD BE PRICEY BUT THERE ARE
WAYS TO COMBAT THAT.
ANOTHER CONCERN IS SOMETIMES
LACK OF PROTEIN.
I'M LATINO, BUT THERE ARE
ALTERNATIVES.
WHAT ARE SOME DIFFERENT ROUTES
TO GET YOUR PROTEIN?
A LOT OF PLANTS DO HAVE
PROTEINS.
AND THEY HAVE ENOUGH SO YOU CAN
EASILY MEET YOUR NEEDS.
PROTEIN LEVELS OF VEGANS ARE A
LITTLE HIGHER.
INTO BURRITOS.
AND THIS HAS A REASONABLE
AMOUNT OF PROTEIN.
BUT I LIKE BEANS AND TO EVEN
GRAINS WITH HIGHER LEVEL
PROTEIN.
AND THAT WAY YOU CAN BE STRONG.
ONLY MALE WEIGHT LIFTER, HE'S
VEGAN.
YOU CAN DO IT.
IF YOU WANT A BOWL.
REPORTER YOU
