What PD-Ed Students Are Cooking This Week

Mar 25, 2024 11:00 pm | Julie Marie

Boring diet food is the number one reason people struggle to lose weight and often stop short of reaching their goals. I am an excitement seeker who became twice my size because I sought fun and excitement at every meal. I have mindlessly maintained my slimmest self for years while enjoying unforgettable meals with Protective Diet. I focus on making meals exciting following a low fat, oil and sugar free, plant-based Protective Diet. Before I understood food’s connection to real health and vitality I used unhealthy, processed, high fat foods in indulgent dinners as my daily “reward.” Trying to suppress the desire for exciting meals is impossible long term and leaves us feeling deprived and miserable. Everyone I meet who struggles with excess body fat enjoys eating great food as much as I do. A dull diet is just not sustainable for most people. Thrilling weight loss and the healthy outcome of dietary diligence are not enough to keep one eating boring diet plates in a world focused on indulgent food. On a Protective Diet we prepare slimmed-down, innovative recipes that satisfy fun food memories without sabotaging our health and fitness goals. Concession Stand Nachos are a family-friendly fast meal that makes eating protectively joyously sustainable.

The world's healthiest and silkiest oil free, nut free, plant-based cheeze recipe is here—AND it’s ready in only three minutes! Low-calorie pourable, or dippable, vegan cheeze sauce is a slim-down staple on a low fat, plant-based diet. This no cook, easy blend remake of the cheeze sauce I once thought was the Ultimate Cheeze Sauce makes broccoli disappear and cheeze fries a “fast food” you can feel good about. The smooth-as-silk texture makes this cheeze perfect for Queso Con Carne, Loaded Nachos, or dressing up broccoli for a baked potato. It is my passion to create recipes for the Protective Diet community that excite and make this lifestyle sustainable. Recipes that combine health promoting ingredients and innovative time saving techniques to produce creamy and silky sauces, dips, and dressings without incorporating typical WFPB high-fat ingredients. When I first adopted a vegan diet, nuts, avocado, flax seed, and oil worked their way into every meal I made. These high-fat ingredients inhibited my blood flow and increased my caloric consumption. My struggle with inflammatory disease and tight pants continued with over 100 more pounds to shed. However, after eliminating these weight loss inhibiting ingredients entirely I also eliminated food guilt and food restrictions. What I gained was freedom—no more limits on how much cheeze I could enjoy on my nachos, potatoes, pasta, sandwiches, and veggies. Managing consumption moderation of high fat, plant-based ingredients long term is not achievable or enjoyable for most of us, so I created satisfying substitutes that made my 150-pound weight loss a sustainable sure thing.

Warm up with microbiome boosting resistant starch seasoned with protective warming spices. This modern day Shepard's Pie satisfies winter appetites and sticks to our lean plant-based ribs. This health-promoting version of a classic recipe includes a shortcut Pot-to-Plate version and a fun twist on the traditional oven baked casserole. Fill your Instant Pot with protective pantry staples creating an unforgettable meal that your resident microbes, friends, and family will repeatedly request. Inviting new friends to dine with us is as essential to our wellness as the variety of fiber and spices we consume in a meal. The diversity of friends, plant ingredients, and natural environments we experience increases our health span. Health span is the years we are healthy and living independently of medical care. Protective Diet provides education with The Microbiome Population Project to support our health span by encouraging the incorporation of daily microbe collection, population, and protection.

A vibrant celebration of seasonal crunch that promises to invigorate your taste buds and nourish your body from the inside out. Embrace the natural rhythm of the seasons as you indulge in a kaleidoscope of protective plant fibers and colorful polyphenols all expertly combined with protection in mind. Winter Slaw is more than just a salad – it's a culinary masterpiece meticulously crafted from the finest seasonal ingredients. Picture crisp freshly shredded veggies tossed in a mood-boosting dressing that captures the essence of citrus season. This is no ordinary salad; it's a symphony of bright flavors and textures that will transform pantry-friendly Instant Pot Dried Beans and Brown Rice into gourmet burrito bowls or wrap them up in warm 12-inch flour tortillas for a handheld delight. Integrating exciting recipes such as the Protective Winter Slaw into your diet brings a multitude of benefits making adherence to a Protective Diet not just easy but also enjoyable. This approach champions the diversity of plant-based eating, especially through the incorporation of seasonal produce which naturally varies our consumption of protective plant fibers and colorful polyphenols. Recent research highlights the significant role that a varied fiber-rich diet plays in sustaining a healthy gut microbiome. Our gut microbes thrive on the fiber we consume and ferment it into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) that have numerous health benefits, including reducing inflammation and enhancing gut health. Moreover, the process of anticipating and preparing these nutritious meals stimulates the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. This means that the very act of chopping and preparing the vibrant veggies for the Winter Slaw can elevate your mood making the meal preparation an integral part of the dietary experience. The Protective Winter Slaw, with its emphasis on seasonal ingredients, ensures a rotation of diverse nutrients and fibers fostering a rich microbial diversity in the gut. This is crucial for maintaining a robust immune system, improving digestion, and potentially enhancing mood regulation. The pairing of the slaw with staple dishes like Instant Pot Dried Beans & Brown Rice provides a balanced meal that is not only nutritious but also deeply satisfying. This satisfaction is not just from the flavors and textures but also from the knowledge that the meal supports overall health. Moreover, the addition of Protective Plant-Based Yogurt and protective ferments introduces probiotics which further enhance gut health by contributing beneficial bacteria to the microbiome. The contrast of raw salad crunch with warm beans and rice creates a dining experience that satisfies the body's need for warmth and comfort during colder months while still delivering a potent nutrient profile. This holistic approach to meal planning that emphasizes the joy of preparation with the health benefits of a diverse, plant-based diet makes following a Protective Diet a sustainable and enjoyable lifestyle choice. Protective Diet underscores the importance of not just what we eat but how we prepare and engage with our food; integrating the principles of nutrition, psychology, and culinary arts into a comprehensive model for healthy living.

Elevate your grain bowl or burrito night with this Mexican inspired Instant Pot recipe. It is quick to assemble with pantry-handy organic dried beans and brown rice making it perfect for those hustle-filled days. Packed with resistant starch and a variety of plant fibers, IP Dried Beans and Rice isn't just a treat for your taste buds, but is a boost for your microbiome, too. These elements feed your gut's beneficial bacteria producing SCFAs like butyrate to combat inflammation and disease. On a Protective Diet the recipes guide you to enhance meals with colorful high-fiber garnishes rich in prebiotics, probiotics, and polyphenols. These not only elevate the flavor profile, but also bolster gut health and immunity. This Beans and Rice recipe is more than a meal, it's a comprehensive feast for your microbiome promising a healthier, happier you with every bite. When our beneficial microbes are well-fed they release hormones that help regulate our feelings of fullness and satisfaction, naturally reduce cravings and caloric consumption, and contribute to a sense of calm and relaxation.
