LOW CALORIE DENSITY FOODS // What I Eat in a Day 🌱 Part 5

Welcome to another of your favorite videos from me: Low Calorie Density What I Eat in a Day. This is part 5, I also talk healthy habits in addition to low calorie density foods for weight loss and overall health. Recipes are below. Happy eating!! Thank you for watching.
🌱Pancakes
1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2 & 1/2 tbsp water
1 tbsp maple syrup 1 ripe banana 1 cup plant milk
1 cup oat flour (grind 1 cup oatmeal)1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
desired fresh fruit for filling (I used sliced banana)
non stick electric griddle or large non stick pan
If using an electric griddle, preheat it to 400 ̊F (205 ̊C).
In a small bowl add the ground flaxseed & water to make a "flax egg" & let sit for 5 minutes.
Add the flax egg, maple syrup, banana, almond milk, oat flour, baking soda, vanilla, salt, & cinnamon to high speed blender & blend on high for 1 minute.
Pour batter by the 1/4 cup full on to the griddle/pan & heat 1 & 1/2 - 2 minutes per side. If adding fruit place before you flip to the second side.
Allow to cool just a touch before serving, garnish with desired amount of Blueberry Syrup.
🌱Blueberry Syrup
2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup freshly squeezed orange juice
2 tsp arrowroot powder
1 tbsp water
Place the berries and ¼ cup juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until bubbling. Slightly smash some of the blueberries with the back of a fork. Let cool slightly.
In a small bowl, whisk together the arrowroot powder and water. Add the blueberry mixture. Let cool until slightly thickened and serve over pancakes. Stores well in a glass container with a lid in the fridge for 3 to 5 days.
🌱Corn Chowder
1 small sweet onion (chopped)
6 cloves garlic (chopped)
6-7 cups vegetable broth
2 cups frozen corn
2 large potatoes (peeled & chopped)
1/2 red bell pepper (stem and seeds removed, chopped)
1 tsp thyme
1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
1/3 cup almond flour
1/3 cup water
salt & pepper to taste
In a large soup pot add onion and garlic and 2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer for 10 minutes until onions are translucent.
Add corn, potatoes, and 4 more cups of broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until potatoes are tender.
Transfer half of soup to a blender, and blend until smooth. Return to the pot.
Add the extra cup of broth if desired for your preferred consistency. Add the bell pepper, parsley, thyme, and simmer 10 minutes.
During this time make the almond cream. Put the water and the almond flour in the blender and blend until smooth. Transfer the almond cream to the soup pot. Salt and pepper to taste, then turn off and cover until ready to serve.

Thanks so much Vegan Michele 😊🙏🏾💚. Your videos truly help me stay focused on being a vegan for healthier life and weight loss. Thanks 😊.

[@veganmichele]

I’m so glad! Thank you for your kind comment and I wish you all the best!

[@mirnasnewlife4108]

"We need water, we need vegetables and lots greens, and clean kitchen" Love this advice Michele!🤗❤🙏 Unfortunately, my family isn't vegan and I'm a recovering food addict, so my journey has been full of ups and downs, but nonetheless I've manage to lose 17 lbs, got rid of pain on both of my knees and constipation!😊 Thank you SO much for all your informative and inspirational videos!🤗🙏😘🌹🍍🍐🍠

[@veganmichele]

That is wonderful news for you! No matter who we are, there’s always obstacle that will present themselves on our way to our goal. Staying motivated and having your strong “why” always at the front of your mind, you will succeed. Fall down, and just keep getting back up❤️

OH my gosh!!! That soup looks amazing!!! I cannot imaging eating that much yet I can eat a lot of food but don't lose weight and I feel miserable so often and then I'm hungry or bored.... sometimes it's feeling of what if I don't eat... I can't imagine eating thAt much and then lose weight. I'm trying to figure out where to start out then understand I just have to get a few thing made up to start new habits and recipes. I am going to have to have a husband cupboard and a ME cupboard. lol..... your babies are adorable. Thank you Michele.

[@veganmichele]

It can feel overwhelming initially but just go one meal at a time, one day at a time and plan ahead to help yourself succeed.

I am so happy! I just watched one of your videos from 6 months ago (it was so fantastic-my first one💕) but the background music was a bit distracting.

Yay!🏆 Thank you for helping me learn more about this lifestyle. Can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos and learn. You are inspiring!💐

[@marciadidier1056]

I loved your video! My 2 yo granddaughter lives with us and sometimes I have to take my Vitamix outside to run it if she’s sleeping ... I thought I was the only person on the planet that did that! Lol!

[@veganmichele]

Hi Marcia, that’s funny. Anything to not wake them😂💚 thanks for watching.

[@Discovering.jess.]

Do you have a greenhouse tour video? I would love to see! We are building our garden up and working on a shed conversion into a greenhouse:)❤

[@veganmichele]

Hey Jessica, yes I do. It’s here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJ2ymXhpa7NnmqM 😊

[@lady4real206]

Hello. Thanks for the information and the great recipes. What can I use for the Blueberry sauce if I do not have arrowroot powder? Looks sooooo good!

[@veganmichele]

Hey, thanks so much for watching. You could sub just a regular all purpose flour, tapioca starch, or corn starch. Enjoy!

[@minasellami9429]

You crack me up.

[@veganmichele]

Haha thanks!

[@natalieayala2008]

Ooh I want to try the whole lemon for lemon water. But i think it wud b so yummy to sneak in 1/4 tsp turmeric powder for anti-inflammatory yummyness.

[@veganmichele]

Yes absolutely great choice!

[@ritarallo1323]

Hiii Michelle, I love your videos, how do you keeps greens fresh and storage

[@veganmichele]

Thank you Rita! I definitely eat them quickly and that helps lol but I also keep the leafy greens and herbs in glass jars filled with water in the fridge.

[@veganmichele]

Also, here is one of my videos on how to keep greens fresh longer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6uxi2ShoLt8adk

[@luluandmeow]

Lemon wears down the tooth enamel and is not recommended by dentists

[@christinahamilton5587]

Would you be willing to share your vegan caesar and tahini dressings? I would love to prep those in advance.

[@veganmichele]

Of course😊 You can find the vegan Caesar here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYTNgHx4hdmgrpI And the other here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYXHooCLhMd-qpY

[@mandllathrop5197]

Looks delicious! How do you eyeball your pounds of greens? So a 3lb bag of broccoli could be polished off in just a couple days? Do you have some tricks

[@mandllathrop5197]

I’ve heard great things about increasing your greens! I love hearing it with such conviction!! I just got a microwave steamer & it is making life so much easier!!!!

[@veganmichele]

Hey, thank you for watching. Yeah increasing greens has so many wonderful benefit for weight loss and beyond. I normally get it in with a low glycemic green juice or smoothie packed with greens like kale, spinach, Swiss chard, dandelion greens, and 2 very large salads per day. Microgreens in my smoothie and salad too. Just how I get it in, but try getting in a combo of raw and cooked greens through out the day and some at every meal.

[@lameshahale2990]

I have a nut allergy & can’t use the almond flour to thicken the corn chowder. What would you suggest that I replace it with? New Subbie Here 🥰🥰🥰

[@veganmichele]

Hey LaMesha (love your name btw) you could use a coconut milk if you are not allergic to that, or just completely omit the almond flour. It’s will still taste great and creamy once you blend up 1/2 the soup.

[@FoodandWorkout]

sup WOMAN im here again ,need that breakfast in my life but lol sorry i dont it breakfast i would just drink protein shake then ready to go for hoem work out

[@sarahbreton1866]

I love the Tru Earth detergent strips too. I'm getting perfectly clean clothes and I don't have to carry heavy detergent bottles. Less waste helps to save the planet ❤️

[@veggietrish]

Is that the corn chowder from the forks over knives website? That an amazing recipe

[@veganmichele]

Hey, I don’t know that recipe. Is it similar?

[@veggietrish]

@@veganmichele it's exact. I just went and checked lol only difference is corn and potato measurements.

[@veggietrish]

@@veganmichele definitely why it made me think of that one.

[@veganmichele]

Oh my gosh that’s crazy! I actually adapted it from a recipe my mom used to make with heavy cream, and bacon. Lol. I guess there’s only so many combinations out there haha! Well it’s a great recipe then, and glad it’s in line with forks over knives. 😀

[@veggietrish]

@@veganmichele must be a typical old timey style recipe. It's definitely delicious 😂

[@ClaudeS39]

Boy she talks so fast! Feels like I’m at an auction 😆 but great recipes 👍🏻

[@veganmichele]

Haha, so sorry. I try to slow down, but I do talk fast I guess as I’ve heard this before😊

[@haleigh8887]

Omg it looks so good 5 seconds in xD. Yep you gotta have a blender lol. I don't like meats right now I haven't started my vegan diet but I think I like veggies more than meat. #SaveTheAnimals

[@veganmichele]

Thank you! Slow and steady wins the race, a bit more plants every day and you are doing great.

[@janesmith3747]

Do you have any tips for someone who lives with other people who eat junk food? I want to clean it all out of my pantry but others in my home don't feel the same. 😬😓

[@veganmichele]

Hi Jane, maybe it’s possible to have a specific cabinet that is solely yours. It takes a lot of self-discipline and knowing your “why” for wanting to switch up your diet. But if you keep that “why” reason at the forefront of your mind and you carve out a place in your kitchen that is solely for you, it’s a good start. Good luck!

[@venuscruz6075]

Lemons and blueberries I am allergic to ........plus many other foods.

[@veganmichele]

I’m sorry to hear that.

[@_pronounced_]

Why I always hear of you want to know I leave the link in a description-box than there is no link .....

[@veganmichele]

There are many links in the description box, what specifically are you looking for?

[@Bonnie-fs1jv]

Flour is not good for weight loss😊

[@siasia3376]

You seem pretty out of touch w the average working person. Most of us are out of the house 10 hours a day working. We don't have time to make lemonade, green juice and pancakes, and that's just your morning. And, just put everything in your vitamin... Ummm, I doubt the majority of people watching have a $500 blender. If you can't relate, you come off as a snob.

[@veganmichele]

Wow. I work full time from home AND take care of my kids full time. But health is a huge priority for me. These are meal suggestions, you don’t have to follow it exactly. You can take what sounds good and make one meal in your day or prep things ahead to be able to have your healthy items ready to suit your schedule. I bought the vitamix in 2009, and at the time it was an investment for me. But I use it every single day in some capacity so I know it has been returned a few times over. It’s tough to make assumptions and not not my reality. I want to create videos that are aesthetically appealing as well as to help motivate people want to cook and eat more healthfully, and to assume that I cannot relate couldn’t be further from the truth.

[@annaversace6308]

Wow who got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. No need to be so rude, Michele is trying to make a living just like you. I've never heard Michele say we have to buy any of her products by force, it's your choice. Let's build each other up not tear each other down. In fact I find Michele very down to earth, I've followed others and she's one of the most casual, go with the flow people.

[@veganmichele]

Thanks Anna🥰 I agree, we should absolutely build each other up. Everyone has challenges, but if we want something to work there’s always a way to make it work in our lives. 💚
