Jess, you take the lead here because you're the fit guy.
Well, also you know, as a former athlete I'm always on
kinda the edge, I'm reading a lot, I know there's always
new foods, there's new workouts.
What are some things that people in 2020 should be
looking at when it comes to some of these
new trends potentially?
Such a great question and I think it's so frustrating
'cuz there's so much health and wellness information
and you never know what's really gonna work
but we're gonna to start with this Chicory Coffee.
Wow.
Chicory Coffee is really interesting.
It comes from the Chicory plant and what happens is
you take the root of the plant, you grind it, you roast it,
you brew it, just like you would a regular cup of coffee.
My dad's from Lousinana, like down south.
He might know about that.
It's really popular.
He might know about this.
Have you guys ever tried this?
No.
You've never tried it, so, it tastes great
but this is a total try.
I want this on your list for 2020.
So do this, is there caffeine in it?
Do this.
There's no caffeine.
Does it help you wake up?
There's no caffeine.
There's no caffeine in Chicory Coffee?
There's no caffeine and for a lot of people its a good way
to come off of caffeine but here's what it does have,
it has anti-inflammatory polyphenols.
Well, all right I need that, I always puffy head,
I drink a lot of red wine and so do you (mumbles).
It does help your liver, by the way, so you can follow
that with maybe a cup of the Chicory Coffee.
And it also helps protect against inflammation.
And it has a taste that has the bitterness that you
get from coffee.
What do you think?
I could do this.
You could do this?
I mean, it doesn't taste like coffee but
it's really pleasant.
Also, it's 40% inulin and inulin, if you don't know what
that is, is plant based starch so it really helps
your digestion, helps your metabolism.
Okay
And the gut we know is the foundation of health.
Okay, so that is a try.
That's a try, super easy to make, roast just about
a tablespoon, just like you would coffee.
Mix it with some Almond Milk.
Oh, the same measurements.
Equal parts, you got it.
Like you would normally, okay.
Beautiful
Next...
And no caffeine, if you're concerned about that.
No caffeine. - Great.
We've got plant based fish here.
Now on the heels of the plant based burger.
Wait, wait, wait, back up.
No, no, check please.
Plant based fish.
Yes, you got it.
So, there's no fish in the fish?
So, there's no fish in the fish.
I heard of impossible burgers.
You guys heard of the impossible burgers?
Of course.
I love the impossible burger.
I do too, sometimes I can't even tell.
Is this sort of like impossible fish?
It is. It's sort of impossible.
You've know 2019 was year of the impossible burger, right?
Right.
It's everywhere, lots of great plant based options.
This is plant based fish, what do you guys think?
This is a toss or a try?
I'm like a cat.
I'm going to say toss.
What do you say, Rachel? Toss or try?
I'm eating it already, I'm trying.
Oh my gosh. Okay.
Well this is a toss, let me tell you why.
Okay.
Because the plant based fish,
Exhibit A here.
Plant based fish has a lot of processed ingredients.
It has potato starch, modified soy protein, it does have...
I was gonna say, it doesn't taste
like fish to me, it tastes like a soggy tot.
A soggy potato tot.
Well, that's one way of describing it but it also has
beans and legumes, but at the end of the day we want
to lower how much processed foods we are getting in, right?
Right, right, right.
That's really the goal there.
I'm gonna get excited now because I see ice cream
in front of us.
Well, ice cream is always a good treat for everyone.
Absolutely.
But oat milk ice cream, have you tried that?
I've love oat milk in coffee, in Macha.
So I love oat milk.
So, oat milk is really tasty, has a lot of great
fat in it.
My friend gave me an iced coffee with oat milk,
I was surprised at how much I liked it actually.
It's actually pretty good.
So now there is a whole slew of oat milk derivatives
right on the heels of the oat milk craze,
ice cream is one of them.
Now, toss or try?
Well, I'm going to wait for the answer this time.
I'm gonna guess...
You're on a roll
Non-dairy, I'm gonna say try 'em, this is gonna be good.
So this is actually a toss
Really? Wow.
And the reason is because they had to make up
for the taste with a ton of sugar.
Awww. Yeah.
And we're already a really over sugared culture, right?
We should be counting our sugar grams,
aware of how much sugar in and so for that reason,
it's a toss.
Bye, bye!
But oatmeal is still healthy and oat milk is still healthy.
Oh, I missed.
Here's a glass of oat milk for you, Rachel.
But oat milk is still so easy to make.
You just soak the oats anywhere from 30 minutes,
up to 12 hours and then you can flavor it however you want.
So, here we have some cinnamon.
Some people will put some nutmeg in it or vanilla and
this is actually a healthy treat, so.
Cinnamon, nutmeg?
And this can be your healthy treat
Festive.
Or just straight up.
Cheers. Yeah.
So, this is one to try for 2020.
Great. It's great.
It's fine.
Do you like it?
It tastes like whole milk.
Good. Do like it?
Yeah, love it.
Great.
