How do I make cauliflower tacos?
For any ground beef based dish you can sub ground Cauliflower. And the heavier the spice, the easier it is to buy the illusion. So tacos are Perfect! I use a food processor to chop the cauliflower. I tried my Vitamix first. And while a great versatile tool for a ton of different projects...Cauliflower tacos are not one of its strengths. Any way to save time I chop the Cauliflower into "burger" with the food processor. But if you don't have a food processor, you can use a knife. It is just going to take a little more time. Then put it in a deep frying pan with a small amount of coconut oil and taco seasoning. Taste as you go, and cook it to your desired temperature. I find to feel the most like "real" tacos its best to use crunchy shells. And here is a great healthier way to make crunchy taco shells then either buying or deep frying them.
Why should I juice, or smoothies?
For me the answer is easy. My diet must improve. I eat way too much bread, meat, cheese, and sugary treats. And not near enough veggies, or fruit. When you drink a nice green juice or smoothie you get all those vitamins and nutrients from what is more veggies then I used to get in a week for one quick drink. Plus because it is liquid, your body does not have to do any work to absorb it. Just a ton of killer stuff straight into your body! So you get awesome absorption of a lot more veg than usual, plus because it is a drink. it is a lot faster, and easier than actually physically chewing, and eating says 3 leaves of swiss chard, some romaine, 4 huge fists full of spinach, 3 stalks of celery, 4 carrots, and some assorted berries. And if you don't like the taste, its over fast. SO you can suck it up.
Why should I consider going vegan?
The quick easy answer is it is really good for you. All the cool kids are doing it! The way we produce and consume meat right now is unsafe, unsanitary, inhumane, is killing the planet, and its just plain gross. And apparently, it helps if you are trying to be the greatest quarterback of all time!
Can I get enough protein without meat?
Legumes (such as peas and lentils) and beans offer a flavorful, inexpensive, and protein-rich alternative to meat. When people think protein, they often think of main dishes. But you can get most of your daily protein needs from side dishes by using beans, legumes, and grains (and even greens, as mentioned above!). Whip up a batch or two of hummus every week, or try black bean burgers. Quinoa, a gluten-free grain loaded with fiber and about six grams of protein per serving. or try a vegan protein powder for smoothies!. There are many dairy-free protein powders made from hemp, brown rice, and pea protein. And have you tried the Beyond Burger? IT IS AWESOME!! 20G of protein per serving vegan with no soy, no gluten, and non-GMO. Just sayin...
