I been doin' fast food for so long,
but there's a other side to this.
The plant-based side.
(lighthearted guitar music)
We're talking about plant-based living.
We're talking about eating more consciously.
For us, and for the environment.
Today we're here to challenge Daym
to go five days fully plant-based.
The word diet already just makes me nervous.
How are you?
I'm looking forward to meeting him,
getting things going with him.
So Daym, honestly speaking, how do you feel?
I remember when I was in my teens,
and I was in my early twenties,
and I could be on the basketball court, Marco.
I could run up and down that court all day long.
But let me go ahead and run up about two flights of stairs.
I'm sittin' there stoppin', holdin' on.
Every single time we eat, we're either fueling disease,
or feeding our health.
The choice is ours.
With the GreenPrint, you're gonna get better sleep,
clearer mind, more energy.
We're gonna get you to eat plant-based,
for five days straight.
Uh, does anything have flavor with this?
Crunchy water, red ring of death,
all of a sudden, the things that have been my kryptonite
for years, I have to sit there and try to embrace.
It's gonna be a whole entire week
of this plant-based action.
I'ma give it a try.
But before I even get started,
I gotta do the weigh-in.
382.4.
I think we should take a quick peek at your kitchen,
just to make sure
we don't have any potential obstacles there.
I have a kitchen fulla obstacles.
Oh!
Oh my.
Are you kidding me?
Now let me show you
what you're really gonna be eating this week.
(suspenseful music)
Vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, beans, greens.
Me here and my man Marco,
we're on two different sides of this spectrum right here.
I'm doin' all that luscious, lovely,
beautiful, blissful food.
The stuff that dreams are made of.
And over here on Marco's dark side of plant-based lifestyle,
of you know, lettuce, and diet water.
And the food that you get to smell
but you don't really taste.
A little summer squash, little minced garlic,
some chopped up tomatoes, we've got some kalamata olives,
we've got our pasta.
You wanted flavor, right?
I wanted flavor.
All right, we'll bring your flavor.
Ooh.
It looks very colorful, if nothin' else.
(upbeat rock music)
So all plant-based, and it only took about 15 minutes
for us to make this dish.
(music comes to a halt)
Tell me, what do you think?
It's not bad at all.
These next five days are gonna be challenging for him,
but there's no doubt in my mind
that Daym is absolutely gonna rock this.
It's gonna be like bein' reborn in the food game.
I'm ready for that.
All right, so this is day one
of me tryin' Marco's GreenPrint.
I'm gonna go ahead and give this spinach cream pasta a try.
(blender whirring)
I'm gonna go ahead and pour in our sauce.
Marco, don't think I stopped here.
You said, "Daym, I wanna see more water, less soda."
Here's your water.
(upbeat bass music)
It still taste like pasta at the end of the day,
however pasta on the opposite side of the happy pasta land
that I come from.
This is, it's just more earthy.
Still decent.
Lentil and bean chili soup.
I can't lie to y'all.
I don't even like avocados, and I got a whole bunch of 'em
sittin' up over here.
(upbeat bass music)
How y'all doin'?
I gotta ask, how do y'all do it?
I do not know.
Looks like my ma about to send me to my room without dinner,
or somethin'.
I'm gonna be hungry all night.
This is day three.
I'm wantin' to slide over to a vegan spot
in Middletown, Connecticut, Grown.
I mean we got chickpeas goin' on,
we have vegan mayo that's happenin' here.
I'm likin' the crunch from that toasted bread action.
I can say that this sandwich isn't half bad.
I'll be sharing some delicious strawberry action
with my little one up over here.
Strawberry cheers.
Boop.
Eh, it's a little sweet potato.
We have black beans, we have the kale,
we have the sweet potato.
(upbeat electronic music)
It's actually good.
Another win for the GreenPrint.
And boom, chickpea, avocado, tomato,
a little slice of pickle there.
(upbeat rock music)
It's crunchy.
It's uh,
I'm not a big fan of tomatoes.
The pickle is actually workin',
I'm loving the pickle.
The pickle has bite.
I mean that was perfect.
The bread, perfect.
Chickpea was just okay.
Day five, I made it for a whole entire week.
People, I have to say, just give it a try.
If you do nothin' else, you may turn up your face
the same way I turned up my face when I knew
I actually had to do it.
Just give somethin' a try.
You might find some recipes that you like.
Somethin' that works for you.
It's your main man Daym Drops.
Of course, with my little one over here.
Kay, what up, though?
Here we go.
(audience cheering and clapping)
