NUTRITIONIST SHARON BROWN IS
READY TO PREP SOME NATURALLY
GREEN RECIPES FOR US.
AND SHE SAYS THEY CAN BE BONE
HEALTHY BOTH HEALTHY AND
FESTIVE, BONE HEALTHY AS WELL.
SHARON.
>> HI.
GOOD MORNING .
THANKS FOR HAVING ME.
YEAH.
SO YOU HAVE SOME DIE FREE IDEAS
FOR GETTING MORE GREEN INTO OUR
DIETS ESPECIALLY FOR ST.
PATTY'S DAY.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
AND IT'S A GREAT REMINDER ST.
PATRICK'S DAY TOO HOW IMPORTANT
COLOR IS WHEN YOU ARE
APPROACHING YOUR FOOD.
I ALWAYS SAY EAT THROUGH THE
RAINBOW.
SO WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON
GREEN FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
BUT THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THAT
YOU CAN DO TO REALLY UPGRADE
ALL OF YOUR MEALS BY THE
INGREDIENTS THAT YOU CHOOSE.
>> SO I TOOK FAISAL AND I MADE
A BASIL PESTO.
NOW WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT THIS
BASIL PESTO IS I'VE ADDED BONE
BROTH INTO AND I'VE DONE THAT
WITH ALL OF MY RECIPES AND I'M
GOING TO TALK TO YOU A LITTLE
BIT LATER ABOUT WHY THAT'S SO
IMPORTANT.
I'VE ALSO DONE.
I'M SORRY.
GO AHEAD.
NO, NO.
>> OKAY.
GO AHEAD AND TELL US.
>> I MEAN I KNOW I WANT TO HEAR
MORE ABOUT THE BONE BUT I WANT
TO SEE SOME OF THESE RECIPES
YOU'RE MAKING.
>> YES.
SO WE'VE ALSO DONE THE SAME
THING WITH THE CHIMI TURY.
SO I'VE TAKEN CILANTRO, GREEN
CILANTRO.
I'VE MADE IT TO MUTURI SAUCE.
AND WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH THESE
SOURCES IT REALLY IS A
MEASURABLE SO THINK ABOUT ANY
PROTEIN WHETHER IT BE BEEF OR
PORK LAMB.
I'VE TAKEN FISH TODAY AND YOU
CAN TAKE A PLAIN PIECE OF FISH
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT BECOMES
THIS GORGEOUS GORMANDALE THAT
YOU WOULD NEED TO IN A
RESTAURANT SIMPLY BY CREATING A
SAUCE.
THAT'S THAT'S NOT ONLY GOOD FOR
YOU BUT GREEN FOR ST. PATRICK'S
DAY.
>> WOW.
VERY GOOD.
SO HOW IS IT THAT YOU'RE
INFUSING THE BONE BROTH INTO
THESE RECIPES?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW ANY RECIPE THAT CALLS
FOR LIQUID YOU CAN USE BONE
BROTH.
SO THINK ABOUT LIKE WHEN YOU'RE
MAKING
IN
IN PLACE
IN PLACE OF THE LIQUID AT THE BONE BROTH. WE EVEN DO IT IN WAFFLES WHICH
I KNOW SOUNDS CRAZY.
>> YOU WANT YOU WON'T TASTE THE
BONE BROTH BUT WHAT IT DOES IS
IT ADDS PROTEIN, COLLAGEN AND
AMINO ACIDS.
BONE BROTH IS SO GOOD FOR THE
GUT UP TO EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT
OF YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM RESIDES
IN YOUR GUT.
SO WHEN YOU SNAKE BONE BROTH
INTO ALL OF YOUR FOODS YOU ARE
SUPPORTING YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM.
SO WE'VE TAKEN THAT IDEA AND
WE'VE DONE THE SAME THING WITH
MANY OF US KNOW STUFFED
CABBAGES.
AND I DONE VERY REALLY QUITE
SIMPLE.
I'VE TAKEN GROUND BEEF,
POTATOES AND CARROTS AND SOME
ONIONS AND THEN I SAUTEED AND
SIMMER DOWN IN BONE BROTH AND
THEN ALL YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS
FILL YOUR CABBAGE LEAVES.
AND I THINK THIS IS ACTUALLY
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN DO WITH
YOUR CHILDREN AS WELL.
THEY'D LOVE TO PARTICIPATE IN
COOKING AT HOME.
AND WHEN YOU DO THAT THEY ARE
MORE APT TO EAT THESE.
>> SO YOU SIMPLY ROLL THESE UP
AND YOU PLACE THEM INTO THE PAN
LIKE I'VE DONE.
I WENT AHEAD AND PREMADE MANY
OF THESE.
AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO ADD
YOUR BONE BROTH INTO THE DISH
AND JUST COVER THEM AND THEN
YOU'RE GOING TO COOK THIS FOR
ABOUT HALF AN HOUR UNTIL ALL
OF THE BONE BROTH IS ABSORBED.
>> AND NOW YOU HAVE THIS SUPER
FOOD BECAUSE YOU'VE ADDED THE
BONE BROTH.
>> THAT'S A REALLY GOOD TIP.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TRY KIND
OF INFUSING THE BONE BROTH AND
KIND OF USING IT AS A
SUBSTITUTE FOR SOME OF THE
LIQUIDS THAT YOU WERE TALKING
ABOUT.
AND THAT RECIPE YOU JUST SHOWED
US WITH THE CABBAGE.
I MEAN SPEAKING OF GREEN,
PEOPLE NEED TO FIND WAYS TO GET
MORE GREEN INTO THEIR DIETS.
ANY OTHER WAYS THAT WE CAN DO
THAT?
>> IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
YOU KNOW, I KNOW A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE DOING IT THROUGH
SMOOTHIES WHICH IS GREAT.
SMOOTHIES ARE A GREAT WAY TO
GET YOUR GREENS IN.
BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I
TELL PEOPLE IS TO TRY TO GET AT
LEAST FORTIFIED VEGETABLES IN A
DAY.
AND ONE REALLY EASY WAY TO DO
THAT IS TO EAT SOUP FOR
BREAKFAST.
AND I KNOW IT SOUNDS KIND
OF ODD BUT IT'S A WONDERFUL
HABIT TO GET INTO BECAUSE YOU
CAN TAKE ALL OF YOUR GREENS
SAUTEED THEM AT A LIQUID LIKE
BONE BROTH.
AND NOW YOU'VE SET YOURSELF UP
FOR SUCCESS FOR THE ENTIRE DAY.
>> AND EARLIER YOU TALKED
ABOUT, YOU KNOW, HOW IMPORTANT
IT IS TO KIND OF EAT THE
RAINBOW AND YOU KNOW, LOOK THE
COLORS OF OUR FOODS.
AND TOMORROW OBVIOUSLY AT ST.
PATRICK'S DAY.
SO WE'RE DOING THE GREEN THEME.
BUT CAN YOU TALK ABOUT SOME
NUTRITIONAL VALUE THAT WE
REALLY GET FROM THE FOODS THAT
ARE ALREADY GREEN?
WE DON'T HAVE TO MAKE THEM
GREEN.
I MEAN THEY THEY ARE NATURALLY
GREEN AND THEY HAVE SOME
OF THIS IMPORTANT NUTRITIONAL
VALUE.
>> ABSOLUTE.
ONE OF THE MOST BENEFICIAL
THINGS ABOUT GREEN FOOD IS THAT
THEY ARE ANTIOXIDANTS.
WE ARE FLOODED WITH TOXINS ON A
DAILY BASIS AND WE NEED TO TRY
TO GET THOSE TOXINS OUT OF OUR
BODY.
WHEN YOU CONSUME GREEN FOODS
THAT ARE NATURALLY GROWN THEY
ARE ANTIOXIDANTS AND THEY HELP
SHUTTLE OUT TOXINS OUT OF YOUR
BODY.
CRUCIFEROUS GREEN VEGETABLES
LIKE BRUSSEL SPROUTS AMAZING
FOR YOUR LIVER, YOUR LIVER IS
OFTEN ALSO TAXED BECAUSE ALL
OF THE TOXINS YOU HAVE TO START
THINKING ABOUT YOUR FOOD
MEDICINE THEY HAVE A PURPOSE
AND THE PURPOSE IS TO NOURISH
YOUR BODY.
>> WELL YOU CAN TELL ME THAT
NOURISH MY BODY.
>> I'LL EAT MY GREENS BUT WITH
THE KIDS IT'S A DIFFERENT
STORY.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVORITE
GREENS TO GIVE TO KIDS?
YEAH.
>> HIDE IT IN EVERYTHING AND
YOU KNOW, BACK IN THE DAY BACK
IN MY DAY WE YOU KNOW, WE USED
TO SIT SERVE OUR CHILDREN A
PLATE OF PEACE.
YOU JUST HAVE TO GET CREATIVE.
AND SO ONE THINGS THAT I TELL
PEOPLE IS FOR INSTANCE, BRUSSEL
SPROUTS IF YOU ROAST BRUSSEL
SPROUTS AND YOU ADD A LITTLE
MAPLE SIRUP NOT TOO MUCH, IT
ACTUALLY BECOMES SWEET.
AND SO THE CHILDREN WILL START
TO HAVE THIS AFFINITY TOWARDS,
YOU KNOW, THE SWEETNESS AND YOU
CAN START TO TIE STRAIGHT THE
SWEETNESS OUT.
SO IT'S ALL ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
ROASTING THE VEGETABLES, GIVING
THEM TO CHILDREN IN A WAY THAT
YOU NORMALLY WOULDN'T DO AND
JUST MAKING THEM MORE
PALATABLE.
AND THEN OF COURSE SMOOTHIES.
>> CHILDREN LOVE SMOOTHIES.
AND THEN WE HAVE A BOAT ROCK
RECIPE ON OUR SITE THAT WE
ACTUALLY ADD BONE BROTH AND
SPINACH INTO WAFFLES.
I PROMISE YOU THEY WILL NEVER
WAS WAFFLES.
>> OH MY GOSH.
>> SO TOMORROW I'M GOING TO
GIVE THEM A PLATE OF GREENS FOR
ST. PATRICK'S DAY.
LET'S SEE HOW THEY REACT.
THESE ARE GREAT IDEAS.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
