Summary

Welcome to PLANTSTRONG Snackables, a bite-sized podcast where host, Rip Esselstyn dishws on all things plants!

Today's guest is Ami Mackey, longtime PLANTSTRONG Team Member, Rescue10x Coach, and Curator of Creative Content.

As a health coach, Ami has heard every reason and excuse for not being able to sustain a plantstrong lifestyle: it’s too expensive, it’s too complicated, you can’t cook, you don’t like to follow recipes, you don’t have the time.

Today's episode outlines a lifestyle habit that is faster than a drive-through and, without a doubt, the easiest (and tastiest) way to eat and live PLANTSTRONG.

What is this magic bullet? BOWL BUILDING! If you've ever been to a salad bar, Chipotle, or even Subway, you already know the premise. Gather all of your favorite beans, grains, and greens, toss them in a bowl, add your favorite sparks, and enjoy your favorite meal - no measuring, no recipes, and no hassle. In no time, you'll have a gigantic bowl of your own creative PLANTSTRONG concoctions!

0:00.0	Hello, Plant Strong Gang. I hope everybody's doing really well. I want to welcome you to
0:09.1	another episode of Snackables where we chew on all things related to food and specifically
0:16.9	usually plant-based food. I've got a special guest for us today. Actually, as many of you
0:22.5	probably are aware, the last snackables that I did with Jess, Jessica Heggardy, Jess was about
0:30.2	nine months pregnant and she was ready to give birth and Jess gave birth just about a week and a
0:36.3	half ago. A little baby girl named Ellie, Ellie Heggardy and Jess and her husband Evan and Ellie
0:45.8	are at home doing fantastically well and we wish them well over the next couple of months that
0:52.8	Jess will be away. But in the interim, I want to introduce you all and many of you know of Amy Mackey,
0:58.9	but Amy has been an integral part of the engine to slash plant-strong team for G's Amy. I would say
1:08.0	it's probably eight and a half, nine years, right? Yep, nine years. Yeah, nine years. And Amy and I,
1:13.7	we first met, so we started throwing these farms to fork events in 2012 and the first one we did
1:23.2	was here in Austin, Texas. It was on Boggy Creek Farm, which is this really cool organic farm. And
1:31.5	we had about, gosh, we probably had 500 participants and Amy was one of the participants. You came with
1:37.3	your husband, Bill, right? And what inspired you to come to that event? You know, we had been on the
1:45.2	engine to plan since January of that year and the event was in March and I wanted to learn more
1:51.2	about it and I was in Kansas City at the time and so I thought it would be a great opportunity to come
1:56.0	to Austin where my husband and I had our honeymoon. We had been there before anyway and loved it. It
2:00.0	would be a great place to sit and learn. And the Boggy Creek Farm was amazing. So drove down for the
2:05.6	weekend event and got to meet you and the whole assistant clan and the folks at Boggy Creek Farm.
2:11.7	It was a life-changing experience. Yeah, it was a really fun one. And then afterwards, I think what
2:19.3	happened is we had a free community that people could join and you join that. And if I remember
2:25.5	correctly, you were such a fantastic advocate of the lifestyle. You were so supportive of everybody
