Friday Favorites: Is Vegan Food Always Healthy?
"Is Vegan Food Always Healthy?" In my video on flexitarians,
I talk about how the benefits of eating a plant-based diet
are not all-or-nothing. Simple advice to increase
the consumption of plant-derived foods with
parallel reductions in the consumption of foods from
animal sources was found to confer a survival advantage,”
a live-longer advantage. They call it a pro-vegetarian eating
pattern, just moving in that direction, as a more gradual, gentle
doable approach. If you’re dealing with a serious
disease, though, like diabetes, avoiding some problem foods
completely may be easier than attempting to moderate their intake. It’s like clinicians would never tell
alcoholics to simply cut down on alcohol. Avoiding alcohol entirely
is a more effective and, ironically, easier for a problem drinker. Paradoxically, asking patients
to make a large change may be more effective than
making a slow transition. Diet studies show that recommending
more significant changes increases the changes that
patients actually accomplish. It may help to replace the common
advice, ‘all things in moderation’ with ‘big changes beget big results.’ Success breeds success.
After a few days or weeks of
major dietary changes, patients are more likely
to see improvements in weight and blood sugar levels— improvements that
reinforce the dietary changes. Furthermore, they may enjoy other health
benefits of plant-based eating. that may give them further motivation. Those who choose to eat plant-based
for their health say it’s mostly for general wellness and disease
prevention, or to improve their energy levels or immune function. They felt it gave them a sense
of control over their health, helps you feel better emotionally,
improves your overall health, and makes you feel better.
Most felt it was very important for
maintaining their health and well-being. For the minority that used it
for a specific health problem, it was mostly for high cholesterol
or weight loss, followed by high blood pressure
and diabetes, with most reporting they felt it helped a great deal. But others choose plant-based diets
for other reasons like animal welfare or global warming, and it looks
like they’re more likely to be eating things like vegan doughnuts,
sugary and fatty foods, compared to those eating
plant-based because of religious or health reasons. I mean the veganist vegan could bake
a cake using soda instead of eggs, with frosting, covered in marshmallow
fluff and chocolate syrup, topped with Oreos, with a side of Doritos
dipped in, vegan bacon grease.

But fruit for dessert… in the form of
Pop Tarts and Krispy Kreme pies. This, is a vegan meal. Yes, plant-based diets have
been recommended to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. However, not all plant foods
are necessarily beneficial. Like in that pro-vegetarian scoring
system you got points for eating potato chips and French fries,
just because they were technically plant-based, but Harvard researchers
wanted to examine the association of not only an overall plant-based diet,
but both healthy and unhealthy versions. So, they created the same kind
of pro-vegetarian scoring system weighted towards any sort
of plant-based foods, and against animal foods and then also
created a healthful plant-based diet index, where at least some whole
plant foods took precedence and Coca-Cola was no longer
considered a plant. Then lastly, they created an
unhealthful plant-based diet index by assigning positive scores
to processed plant-based junk, and negative scoring healthier
foods and animal foods.
And then they found that a more
plant-based diet in general was good for reducing diabetes risk, but eating
especially healthy plant-based foods did better, nearly cutting risk in half, while those eating more
unhealthy plant foods did worse. Now, but is that because they
were also eating more animal foods? People often eat burgers with their fries; so, they separated out the
effects of healthy plant foods, less healthy plant foods,
and animal foods.
And healthy plant foods were
protectively associated, animal foods were
detrimentally associated, and less healthy plant foods were more
neutral when it came to diabetes risk. Here’s what the graph looks like:
higher diabetes risk with more and more animal foods, no protection
whatsoever with junky plant foods, and lower and lower diabetes risk
associated with more and more healthy whole plant foods in the diet. So, they conclude that yes, plant-
based diets are associated with substantially lower risk of
developing type 2 diabetes, but it may not be enough to just
lower the intake of animal foods, but also less healthy plant foods as well..

▶️ QUINOA AND CHICKPEA RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
1 cup / 190g Quinoa (soaked for about 30 minutes/strained)
3 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 cups / 275g Onion
200g / 1 cup Carrots
1+1/2 Tbsp / 19 to 20g Garlic – finely chopped
1 Tsp Turmeric
1+1/2 Tsp Ground Coriander
1 Tsp Ground Cumin
1/4 Tsp Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
1/2 cup / 125ml Passata or Tomato Puree
1 cup / 200g Tomatoes – chopped
Salt to taste
200g / 6 to 7 cups Spinach
2 cups / 1 Can COOKED Chickpeas (liquid drained)
350ml / 1+1/2 cup Vegetable Broth / Stock
Ground Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 teaspoon)
Drizzle of Olive Oil (OPTIONAL) – I have added 1 Teaspoon of organic cold pressed olive oil
▶️ METHOD:
Start by thoroughly washing the quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for about 30 minutes. Once the quinoa is soaked drain the water and let it sit in a strainer. Also, drain 2 cups of home cooked chickpeas or 1 can of cooked chickpeas and allow it sit in the strainer to drain any excess water.
To a heated pan add the olive oil, onion, carrots and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Adding salt to the onions and carrots will release it’s moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it. Fry the onion on medium to medium-high heat until it’s golden brown. You will notice the quantity of the carrots and onions have shrunk in half. Add the chopped garlic and fry for about 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add the spices (Turmeric, Ground Coriander, Ground Cumin, Cayenne Pepper) and fry for a few seconds. Then add the tomato puree or passata, chopped tomatoes, salt to taste and fry for about 3 minutes or until the tomatoes break down completely and form a thick paste.
Add the chopped spinach. Mix well until it wilted, It will take about a minute or so. Then add the soaked quinoa, COOKED chickpeas, vegetable broth/stock and mix well. Bring it to a vigorous boil. Then cover the lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook on low heat for about 20 to 25 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the pan. Increase the heat to medium or medium-high flame and fry for about 2 to 3 minutes to cook out the excess moisture. Turn off the stove. Add freshly ground black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Mix well. Serve hot.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give a cleaner taste to the quinoa
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Adding salt to onions and carrots will release it’s moisture and will help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
???? Sometimes one batch of quinoa can be more dry than the other, SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY

QUINOA And LENTILS Recipe | HIGH PROTEIN Vegetarian And Vegan Meal Ideas
QUINOA And LENTILS Recipe | HIGH PROTEIN Vegetarian And Vegan Meal Ideas
???? Quinoa and Lentils Recipe | High Protein Vegetarian and Vegan Meal Ideas
???? Let me know if you enjoyed my vegan quinoa and lentil recipe
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings)
???? To cook the green lentils:
1/2 Cup / 100g GREEN Lentils (Washed/Soaked for 8 to 10 hours or overnight)
1 Teaspoon Salt (I have added pink Himalayan salt)
2 Cups / 475ml Water
???? To Marinate the cooked green lentils:
1+1/2 Tablespoon Lemon juice OR TO TASTE
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil (I have added organic cold pressed olive oil)
???? To cook Quinoa:
1 Cup / 190g Quinoa (Washed/Soaked for 30 minutes)
2 to 3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Cup / 135g Onion
1+1/2 Cup / 200g Carrots (2 medium size carrots)
1 Tablespoon Garlic – finely chopped
3 Tablespoon Tomato paste OR TO TASTE
1+1/2 Teaspoon Paprika (NOT SMOKED)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (optional)
Salt to taste (I added total 1+1/4 Teaspoon of pink Himalayan salt)
1+1/2 Cup / 350ml Vegetable Broth (LOW SODIUM)
???? To Garnish:
1/2 Cup / 65g Red Onion – chopped
1/2 Cup / 25g Parsley – chopped
1/4 Cup / 5g Mint OR TO TASTE – chopped
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper or to taste
▶️ METHOD:
Wash & soak 1/2 cup of green lentils for 8 to 10 hours or overnight. Once the lentils are soaked, drain the water and rinse it. Transfer the lentils to a pot. Add salt and water. Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a vigorous boil. Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for about 4 minutes or until lentils are cooked but still holds its shape. WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS. Right away strain the cooked lentils. Let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water and allow it to cool down. Once lentils have cooled, add lemon juice, olive oil and mix well. Allow the lentils to marinate while we continue with the rest of the cooking.
✅ ????Cooking time of the lentils depends on it’s quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the others and may require longer cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY.
Thoroughly wash 1 cup of quinoa until the water runs clear and then soak in water for 30 minutes. ✅ ????After 30 minutes drain the water from quinoa and let it sit in the strainer to get rid of any excess water.
To a heated WIDE PAN, add olive oil, chopped onion, carrots, 1/4 tsp salt and fry on medium to medium-high heat until it’s slightly browned (about 5 to 6 minutes). ADDING SALT TO ONION/CARROTS RELEASES IT’S MOISTURE AND HELPS IT COOK FASTER, SO PLEASE DON’T SKIP IT. Add the garlic and fry on medium heat for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
✅ ????REDUCE THE HEAT TO LOW BEFORE ADDING THE SPICES AND TOMATO PASTE TO PREVENT IT FROM BURNING.
Add the tomato paste, paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper and fry on low heat for only 1 to 2 minutes (no longer than that), just to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Add the quinoa, salt, vegetable broth. Turn up the heat and bring to a VIGOROUS BOIL. Then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa is cooked.
✅ ????DO NOT LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME OF QUINOA ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. DO CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if still not cooked then cook for longer. It took me 20 minutes on my stove.
Once the quinoa is cooked, uncover the lid and turn off stove. Add the cooked lentils, ground black pepper, red onions, parsley, mint & mix well. Cover the lid and allow it to rest for 3 to 4 minutes for the flavours to blend.
Serve hot with a side of green salad. Perfect for meal prep / meal planning as it stores well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
???? Thoroughly wash the quinoa a few times until the water runs clear, this will get rid of any impurities/gunk/bitterness and will give quinoa a clean taste
???? Every stove is different SO ADJUST THE HEAT AND COOKING TIME AS REQUIRED
???? Cooking time of lentils depends on it’s quality. One batch of lentils maybe drier than the other and may require longer cooking time, SO ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
???? DON’T LET THE QUINOA GET MUSHY. ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDING TO THE HEAT OF YOUR STOVE. CHECK IN 15 MINUTES, if its still not cooked, then cook for longer
