Vegan Keto Harissa Mushroom Tacos


I've always heard that Keto and Vegan don't mix, so over the next few months I am going to be searching the web for some bad ass Vegan, Keto friendly recipes to see if this is something I could add into my everyday life. 

I found this one over at Healthy Nibbles and Bits. They have a lot of good recipes over there, check them out! Also, I will definitely be having these again. Two thumbs up AND they made it to the meal plan! 


Ingredients: 

Portobello Mushrooms
  • 1 pound portobello mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup spicy harissa, or use a mild harissa 
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil, divided 
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 collard green leaves
Guacamole 
  • 2 medium ripe avocados
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped tomatoes 
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped red onion (I left this out)
  • 1 1/2 to 2 Tablespoons lemon or lime juice 
  • pinch of salt 
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped cilantro 
Optional Toppings
  • chopped tomatoes
  • cilantro
  • vegan sour cream 




Directions:
  1. Remove the stem of the portobellos and rinse, pat dry.
  2. Mix harissa, 1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil, cumin, and onion powder in a bowl. Brush each mushroom with the harissa mixture making sure to cover the edges of the mushroom as well. Let mushroom marinate for 15 minutes. 
  3. While the mushrooms are marinating, prepare the guacamole. Halve and pit the avocados and scoop out the flesh. Mash avocados and mix in chopped tomatoes, red onion, lemon or lime juice, salt, and cilantro. Set aside. 
  4. Rinse collard greens and remove the stems, set aside. 
  5. When the mushrooms are done marinating, heat 1 1/2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Place the mushrooms in the pan and cook for 3 minutes. Flip over and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Both sides should be browned. 
  6. Turn off the heat and let the mushrooms rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing. 
  7. Take a collard green leaf and fill it with a few slices of portobello. Add guacamole, chopped tomatoes, vegan sour cream, and cilantro to taste. 
  8. Enjoy!!

Recipe Thursday: Fall Detox Vegetable Soup

Image
I am a Boston girl born and raised but honestly I am cold more often than not. For that reason as soon as summer ends I start to get sad and panic about how I am going to keep myself warm all winter. One way that works for me is to make a lot of warm soups so that I can warm myself up from the inside out!  When I posted the choices for this week's Recipe Thursday , the concern over the word "detox" was thoroughly entertaining. Trust me, I get it. In the past, the word detox meant spending an entire day in the....well you get the point. As I came to learn more about nutrition I began to understand that "detox" does not mean that you will not be able to leave your house for days, all it means is that you are cleansing your body of toxins in a healthy way.  I kid, I kid...my point is that the Fall Vegetable Detox Soup was the winner this week and eating it does not mean that you will have to cancel your plans for the day. I found this soup reci

What a Day of Meals Looks Like on the 3-Day Refresh.

Image
The 3-Day Refresh Cleanse came out last week, and I am sure you are all wondering what a day of meals would look like if you were to do this cleanse. I have decided to put this post together so that I can simply show you how the cleanse will go day by day.  Day 1-  (Upon waking drink 8-10 oz. of filtered water.) Breakfast(within 1 hour of waking): Shakeology blended in 1 1/4 cups filtered water. Plus 1 serving from the fruit list. I chose half of a banana and actually added it into my shake. I added ice, and cinnamon which is on the guilt-free flavorings list that they provide us. I made it the same way all 3 days. Optional: Morning Tea (at least one hour after breakfast) 1 cup unsweetened herbal or green tea. (stevia sweetener allowed) I chose not to do this because I was fine drinking my water.  Mid-Morning(at least 1 hour after morning tea): Fiber Sweep (digestive health drink) mixed in 1 cup filtered water. The first day I did not add enough
