diet food has a bad reputation for being
0:15
bland and boring but here's the thing i
0:19
never want you to feel deprived or bored
0:21
by the things you eat i just want you to
0:23
eat foods that help you live a long and
0:25
healthy life so today i want to share a
0:29
few delicious healthy ways to spice up
0:31
your favorite foods all of which are
0:34
easy flavorful and lectinike first is
0:37
one of my favorite condiments of all
0:39
time pesto if you're a regular follower
0:42
on my youtube channel or newsletter you
0:44
know i cook with a lot of pesto that's
0:47
because it's a great combination of the
0:49
healthiest foods on the planet garlic
0:52
basil pine nuts and of course olive oil
0:56
and it's not just a pasta sauce i've
0:59
mixed it with balsamic vinegar to make a
1:01
delicious salad dressing used it as a
1:03
marinade for veggies and seafood or on
1:06
its own as a dip i've even whisked it
1:08
into eggs to flavor an omelette or a
1:10
scramble now if you want to make it
1:13
yourself there's a video here on my
1:15
youtube page but if you don't have time
1:18
costco and even trader joe's both make
1:20
great pesto they're great for your
1:23
digestive health and high in prebiotic
1:25
fiber second garlic and onions they're
1:29
great for your digestive health and high
1:31
in prebiotic fiber and most of all
1:34
they're delicious nothing smells as
1:37
comforting as an onion cooking in olive
1:39
oil in fact my favorite way to start any
1:42
meal is cooking up some garlic and
1:44
onions in plenty of olive oil they're
1:47
flavorful and they're versatile if you
1:49
find a dish lacking a punch try thinly
1:52
sliced raw onions personally i love red
1:56
onions and if you're missing some
1:58
sweetness cook those down until they're
2:01
caramelized to bring out the natural
2:02
sugars up third we've got vinegar
2:06
especially balsamic vinegar vinegars and
2:09
other acidic foods are a great way to
2:11
trick your taste buds if you find
2:13
yourself craving salt and they're a
2:16
delicious way to brighten up any dish
2:18
especially vegetable dishes try roasted
2:21
broccoli with a drizzle of balsamic
2:23
vinegar or a sprinkle of red wine
2:25
vinegar over greens cooked with garlic
2:28
you can even use balsamic vinegar
2:30
drizzled over inseason fruit like
2:33
peaches or berries for a flavorful
2:35
dessert just remember treat fruit like
2:39
candy it's high in sugar next up
2:42
fermented vegetables like kimchi and
2:45
sauerkraut and pickled plant paradox
2:48
friendly veggies like asparagus how
2:51
about some fennel add kimchi to an
2:55
omelette to really spice things up
2:58
finally let's talk about hot sauce yes
3:02
it's made of peppers but that doesn't
3:04
mean it's loaded in lectins in fact most
3:08
high quality hot sauce is pretty
3:10
lectin-like so how does that work it's
3:13
the fermentation again it destroys the
3:15
lectins and peppers plus most sauces
3:19
have the skin and seeds of the peppers
3:21
removed before bottling so go ahead and
3:24
use your favorite hot sauce as much as
3:27
you'd like just make sure you pick a
3:29
brand that's low in sugar high in flavor
3:33
so that a little goes a long way and
3:36
remember bland boring food is never okay
