>> you're a vegan guru now. i went vegan about two years ago, and i messed myself up in an uncountable number of ways. so, what's your advice for beginners? >> well, definitely transition. for a lot of people this is a totally radical change, so start to implement more vegan meals into your life every day, every week, every month, and over time you'll crowd out those nonvegan foods. >> i found eating oreos and white bread wasn't good. speaking of how to diversify one's diet, you've got three superfoods you want to tell us about. what are they? >> yeah, so first off, of course, our sweet potatoes, my favorite food. sweet potatoes are a wonderful source of vitamin a, vitamin c and a great anti-inflammatory but, of course, they're also full of fiber and so many things you can do with them. second is walnuts. i think walnuts are kind of overlooked for their versatility. they are a super great source of

omega fatty acids, but you use them in everything from savory preparations or sweet or snack on them and lastly are lentils. you should be eating lots of lentils. they are a great source of vegan protein and fiber, and they're just an all around again very versatile food. >> all right. these look great. i don't know that i know how to cook any of this stuff but glad to know these ingredients are available. >> it's outside of your rice and kale -- >> can you just take a bite out of a sweet potato? anyway. jenne, awesome account. we'll all be following you. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> all right. you did take me to a vegan restaurant once and i enjoyed it. >> right. >> so it's more just getting the ideas and how to expand that diet. so very helpful information. coming up here, get ready to dance because shaggy is performing for us, and you won't want to miss that. ♪ ♪ it wasn't me on that. ♪ n that.
