SIZE 13SIZE 6 WHAT I EAT IN A DAY TO LOSE WEIGHT VEGETARIAN DETOX + HEALTHY MEAL IDEAS TASTEPINK

It's tastePINK. Welcome back to my channel and I have an exciting, "What I Eat in a Day" video and as per your requests, this is a vegetarian based meal plan, so we're consuming whole foods, trying to focus on less processed foods because I want to find a more natural approach to cleansing and detoxing the body. And I. Think this is a great way to reset, especially after the winter months, where you're a little less active, and you know, indulging in savory comfort foods is kind of commonplace.

So don't feel discouraged I want you to persevere on your weight loss journey and you know, refocus and this is the way. It's effective, it's gentle. And I'm also going to talk to you all about a detox tea. Now, you're like "Pink, a detox tea?" Yes, because this is a way to help optimize the cleansing process and I'm focusing on a gentle [you know] approach because I don't want to shock the colon.

And I'm going to show you guys ways to infuse the tea, with things like turmeric because of its endless anti-inflammatory properties which is great for the digestive tract and, you know, adding comfort during this process. So, I think you guys will definitely find this interesting. Be sure to subscribe, give this video a thumbs up and let's get into it. First thing in the morning, I like to hydrate because if I.

Don't I happen to feel particularly groggy and fatigued and believe it or not, that sense of dehydration can often cause one to overeat, so be sure to drink up. And as you all know, I am a tea fanatic, and as of late, I've been drinking the Teami Skinny Tea and this is a Yerba Mate based tea. It has caffeine so it's going to get you stimulated and revved up in the morning. It has a really smooth flavor.

I love to drink this prior to having my first meal in the morning. I thought it would be fun to give you guys some recommendations on how to infuse your tea and the first one is a tangelo turmeric mix. And the turmeric has an active ingredient called curcumin which has anti-inflammatory properties which is perfect for someone who may experience digestive discomfort especially during the cleansing detox process. I paired this with raw Himalayan honey and ground ginger to kind of compliment the savory flavor of turmeric.

And trust me, it's worth a try. The blood orange and lemon mix is going to be a flavor profile loved by many, it's definitely sweet and it's so good. This is like a perfect citrus blend. And for breakfast, I thought I'd have a chocolate banana smoothie with a base of chopped walnuts, gluten free oats and almond milk and you want to blend that these three ingredients together first.

And then I'm going to add in crunchy peanut butter to add texture along with all natural cocoa powder and one whole frozen banana This creates this super thick rich and creamy smoothie. It's perfect for in the morning it's like a treat. And for lunch, I wanted to have a chickpea sandwich with a base of chickpeas of course. I like to flavor my chickpeas with spices versus conventional salt and pepper and using [you know] sage, tomato paste a little bit of curry and even liquid aminos which is a soy sauce alternative, which I highly recommend.

I'm so glad I got into it. And of course, I have to add in some ground ginger. You can add your favorite vegetables of your choice, which ever you prefer is just fine. And you want to let this simmer down.

On some sprouted multigrain bread, I'm going to add some fresh spinach leaves and then just put the chickpeas right on top. It got a little messy, but I thought I should indulge and you can use a panini press or even toast it in a pan, but i'm just using my George Foreman grill because it creates nice pressed sandwich. It tastes so perfect with fresh sliced tomatoes. This is a great lunch.

For snack, I wanted to have some apple slices and mixed nut butter. The nut butter is not at all sweet so it compliments the gala apple just right. For dinner, I wanted to have a very filling kale and spinach deluxe salad. So, first I wanted to combine kale and fresh spinach.

And I'm using avocado oil to massage into these greens this definitely makes them so much more tender, especially the kale because it can be a little tough and bitter. And to make the salad dressing, I'm using liquid aminos along with a little bit of grapeseed oil, cilantro and fresh chopped garlic. And a little bit of pure maple syrup, with red onions and ground ginger. This is the best salad dressing I have made thus far.

Here, I'm going to add the chickpea kind of stew that we made from earlier and I'm just going to plate it right in the middle, along with some fresh avocado, tomatoes and green bell pepper slices. You can just use fresh squeezed lemon right on top and pour the salad dressing right down the middle and this is so tasty and I love this dinner because it's light, but it also has a lot of substance, which is perfect because tonight I'm going to do the cleansing portion of the detox and you want to have a very filling dinner, preferably before 7 PM. This nighttime cleanse is intense so I'm just going to have the Teami Colon tea and it's just one tea bag that's all you need and you want to let the tea steep for anywhere from two to three minutes. This is very potent.

It's going to cleanse you, you're going to feel light in the morning. If you'd like to learn more about this cleansing detox tea be sure to check out Teamiblends.Com and if you're interested, you can use my discount code "TPINK."

Oven Baked Crispy Potato Wedges with Tandoori Masala RubVeganVegetarian Recipe

Inspired by my mums sumptuous baked tandoori
potatoes, my version is a little different with a crispy outer layer contrasting
with a soft moist centre. We are using red potatoes in this recipe.
White baking potatoes are also a good choice. Since we are leaving the skin on, Kevins
washing and brushing all the dirt away. Then proceed to cutting them into wedges.

Once cut, we are first going to steam the
potato wedges for about 7 minutes. While the potatoes are steaming, set the oven
at 200 degrees Celsius or 400 degrees Fahrenheit to preheat. We want the potatoes to be less than half
cooked. But the main reason for steaming first is that it creates a starchy film on the surface
of the potatoes.

This starchy film is what makes the outer layer extra crispy. Also the
spices will adhere much better. Transfer the potatoes into a large mixing
bowl. We are using our own blend of tandoori masala which we showed you in our previous video.

Sprinkle one to two tablespoons of tandoori masala. Squeeze about a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. We are adding a drizzle of olive oil
for the taste but this is not necessary. So, you can leave it out if you want to.

Since the potatoes are still quite hot, Kevins
mixing them with a spoon to evenly distribute the seasonings. Then place on the baking tray
lined with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. After 15 minutes, remove from the oven
and turn the potatoes over so that they become evenly crispy on all sides. You can also sprinkle some salt at this stage
and bake for another 5 minutes.

Remove from the oven and serve warm with your
favourite dipping sauce. We are serving these with a refreshing cucumber avocado lime dip.
You can find the printable recipe for this dip as well as the potato wedges on our website.
The link is in the description below. If youve enjoyed this recipe, dont forget
to like this video. By the way whats your favourite way of eating potatoes? Let us know
in the comments.

See you soon. Bye.

One Bowl Vanilla Chocolate Chip Steamed Mug CakeVeganVegetarian Recipe

Hi everyone, todays recipe is a simple
vegan vanilla chocolate chip cake in a mug. No microwave or oven is needed as this cake
is steamed and it results in a moist, fluffy and spongy texture. Before starting to mix the ingredients, set
a steamer or pot with a steamer rack to heat on medium-high temperature. Make sure you have enough water in the pot
to allow for 25 minutes of steaming at medium-high heat.

Ill be mixing all the ingredients in a
separate bowl. You may mix them into the mug itself if you
wish to save washing up an extra bowl afterward. But I like to lightly grease the mug so that
the cake can be easily removed or detached from it. White spelt flour is what I am using in this
recipe.

You may also use all-purpose flour, whole
wheat or whole spelt flour. You may need an extra teaspoon of non-dairy
milk if using whole flours. The recipe is a simple dry and wet mix method. That is mix all the dry ingredients together
(except the chocolate chips) then add all the wet ingredients.

Apart from the flour, the dry ingredients
consist of corn starch, baking powder, a pinch of salt and vanilla powder. You may also use vanilla extract added to
the wet ingredients. After mixing all the dry ingredients together,
make a well in the centre and start to add the wet ingredients. The oil lends a lot of moisture and softness
to this cake.

Omitting it will yield a drier cake with a
slightly rubbery texture. So, I cannot vouch for the same moist tender
texture if you decide to leave out or substitute the oil with apple sauce. You may use any non-dairy milk of your choice. I am using homemade coconut milk for which
we have another video where weve demonstrated how to make it.

Check the description below the video for
the link. Maple syrup is my preferred sweetener in this
recipe. If you want to use granular or soft sugar
instead, add it into the wet ingredients. Mix it well with the wet ingredients first
in the centre.

Then mix with the dry ingredients to make
a rather thick batter. Check our website for the printable recipe
which includes the liquid adjustments if using granular or soft sugar. Add in the chocolate chips and mix. You may omit the chocolate if you prefer or
substitute with dried fruits like raisins.

Lightly grease the mug. Then pour in the batter. Do not fill the mug more than half-way as
the cake will rise twice the volume of the batter. The recipe yields a fairly generous portion;
you may want to divide the batter into smaller cups or ramekins if you want smaller cakes.

Here, I have doubled the recipe to make two
large mug cakes. Once the water is steaming, quickly place
in the mugs and cover immediately to avoid losing any heat and steam in the pot. Steam for 25 minutes. Do not uncover the pot during this time or
the cake may not rise very well.

Test if the cake is done by inserting a skewer
or toothpick in the middle. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. Turn off the heat and allow to cool uncovered
in the steamer for about 10 minutes. Then remove and let cool at room temperature.

The cake can be enjoyed warm or cooled in
the mug itself or demoulded. Even just digging your spoon into this pillowy
moist fluffy cake is cause for excitement, let alone the melt-in-the-mouth smoothness. I hope youll give this recipe a try. Dont forget to send us a snapshot and tag
us on social media if you do.

These are the little things that we look forward
to and they always make our day. The full printable recipe can be found on
our website. Check the description for the link. If youve enjoyed this video, please like

Non-Vegans Try Vegan Desserts

- Are you vegan? Good. (Classical music) - I don't think I've ever touched a single vegan food in my life, except like by accident. - I usually do like vegan food. - I'm skeptical of these vegan desserts.

- This is the vegan glazed doughnut, but I hear the word doughnut, and I'm on board. - It looks like a regular doughnut. - It doesn't smell like a doughnut. It smells like a lemon square.

- Oh, this is good. - That's terrible. - This kinda tastes
like fruit loops to me. - If I was having this and
you told me it was vegan, I would not believe it.

- Yes for the vegan doughnut. I'm liking it. - Tofu vegan cheesecake? (Disgusted noise) - It's more wiggly than
regular cheesecake. - It does not smell
like cheesecake at all.

- Mmm. - No. - It's really gritty. - The texture's awful.

- Or like soaked, mushy bread. - I could not describe to
you what this taste is, I can just tell you that
it's working for me. - It's like eating a giant tofu with a lotta sugar in it. - Why call it cheesecake if it's not gonna taste like cheesecake? - The more that I have
it, the more I like it.

- Vegan snickerdoodle. I'm feeling good about
these snickerdoodles. - These are so soft. - They look like rocks.

- All vegan desserts look like dirt. - Oh yeah. - It tastes gingery. - These win.

- It's mushy. It's just
not working for me. - Cookies should crumble and I can mold this into any shape I want. - Vegan cherry ice cream.

It looks like a regular
piece of ice cream, except it's really hard. - There are little pieces
of chocolate in it. - Smells like ice cream. - It's really good.

- That sucks. - That's super fruity. - It tastes kinda like cherry
flavored Bubblicious gum. - Knowing that it's vegan, it tastes fresher.

- Here's the thing, I would probably eat any
dessert no matter what. - Raw vegan brownie. Looks like a brownie with seeds in it. - It looks like a granola bar.

- Nothing about this
screams brownie to me. - That's delicious. - I don't like it. - It's definitely chocolatey.

- It tastes exactly like a Cliff bar. - Mushy texture seems to be a running theme through vegan desserts. - I would eat it again. - I wish vegan foods
would just stop trying to imitate non vegan foods.

Just be yourself. Be whatever it is that you are. (Classical music).

NEW Breakfast Lunch and Dinner Under $2! Easy Vegan Recipes! - Mind Over Munch

This grande chai tea latte from Starbucks
can cost up to 6 dollars! Now, dont get me wrong, I love a good chai
tea latte, but did you know there are some people in
the world are living on $1.90 Or less PER DAY? Which the World Bank defines as extreme poverty. What can you do to help? Hey my munchies! Im Alyssia if youre new, and I really
appreciate you coming by the channel, especially today, because we have a very special
episode. The American Foundation for Children with
AIDS has asked me to participate in their #PassMyPlate campaign. This event brings awareness to the hunger
epidemic in Africa and the extreme poverty line, which is defined as living on $1.90 Or less
per day by the World Bank.

For that reason, I took the challenge of creating
a menu of a days worth of healthy meals that must fit within the $1.90 Budget. Just so you know, I did not include items
like spices and olive oil in my prices, because those are items that work out to being
almost nothing, since you use so little and you dont need
to buy them every week anyway. Also, this menu happens to be plant-based,
so I hope you all enjoy! Lets get to it! Im starting off with some homemade bread. This recipe is SO easy and super affordable.

Combine whole wheat flour, salt, and yeast
in a bowl. Whisk that together. Most vegans consider yeast to be plant-based, its technically in the fungi kingdom and
sort of like a mushroom. Then add in water and mix into a dough,
which will be sticky but dont worry about it.

Cover it with plastic wrap and leave it out
at a warm room temperature for 12 to 18 hours. Yes, the time means you do have to plan a
little or mix it together the day before, but its SO easy that I will take it. When you come back to the dough, it will have expanded and the surface will be dotted with bubbles. Place it on a floured work surface and fold
it over itself just a few times.

Cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for
about 15 minutes. Then we can flour a cotton towel, form the
dough into a ball, and place it seam-side down on the towel. Sprinkle some additional flour on top, cover
with another towel, and let it sit in a warm place for another 2 hours to rise. When you come back, it will be about double
the size, and when you poke it and the dough does not
spring back, its ready! Ive preheated my oven with a cast iron
pan inside (you could use ceramic, enamel or Pyrex, too) and Im going to simply slide my hand under
the towel, turn the dough over into the pot seam-side up, and shake it out to evenly distribute.

Then we bake! Take the lid off after about 30 minutes and
let it finish off until its beautifully browned. This bread is SO tasty, you wont believe its only 3 simple ingredients,
and it doesnt even require kneading! This bread also works out to about $0.07 Per
slice, which will work great for our challenge today, but for breakfast Im also going to make
a spread for my bread: DIY peanut butter. Again, it couldnt be easier. Add peanuts to a food processor with salt
and cinnamon.

Let it rip! You could use any spices you prefer, or none
at all! Just peanuts will work. You could also add sweeteners like honey,
but Im keeping this clean and cheap. Your food processor will go through a few
stages, including a dough ball, but once that breaks it will be super smooth
and ready to enjoy! Such a great way to enjoy cheap nut butter and yes, you can do this with any nut youd
like! So for breakfast, Ive got a slice of my
homemade bread, with some of that DIY peanut butter and a banana! Breakfast comes out to $0.40 For the serving,
leaving me some room for my other meals. For lunch, Im making a soup with some affordable
ingredients: potato and zucchini! Potatoes are pretty much always an affordable
go-to, and zucchini are a seasonal ingredient right
now, which makes them cheap, too! To add a ton of flavor to this soup, Im
going to roast the veggies first.

I add the zucchini to one pan, with some olive
oil, salt & pepper, tossing to coat, and I do the same with the potatoes. I throw both pans in the oven together making
life easy. Once theyre roasted, they smell delicious
and were ready to make the soup. Add olive oil to a pot and saut some garlic
until fragrant.

Then we can add those roasted vegetables, along with broth, milk and water. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat and allow
to simmer for about 20 minutes. Then we can blend it all up! I used a high-powered blender, but a food
processor or immersion blender will work fine. I like this soup SUPER smooth and creamy, but you could of course leave it chunky if
you prefer, and season to taste if you dont have enough
salt from the roasting.

You could also make this soup with the potatoes
and zucchini raw, but roasting them adds SO much flavor, it
really tastes like a roasted soup! These thicker soups also really fill me up, which is important when were limited with
our budget and quantity of food. For lunch Im also making a bruschetta. Brusketta? Im not even going to pretend I know how
to pronounce it. Whatever, its a tomato salad.

I combine chopped Roma tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh basil, salt & pep, and olive oil, tossing to combine. So fresh and SO much flavor! But a brusKETTA wouldnt be complete without
a vessel, and for that Im toasting up a slice of
my homemade bread from earlier. Im also rubbing a garlic clove on that
slice of toasted bread before topping it off, because weve got to make the most of every
ingredient for flavor with this budget! And lunch is complete! So fresh, filling, flavorful, and would you believe the entire meal only set me back $0.81? Healthy can totally be affordable! Lets see what we can do with our remaining
budget for dinner. Im starting off making some lentil patties.

I combine cooked red lentilsalways a great
affordable ingredient, especially when bought in bulkalong with
cooked and mashed sweet potato, rolled oats, garlic powder, onion powder,
cumin, and salt & pep. Mix it all together, and then I used an ice
cream scoop to portion each patty. I add the scoops to a sheet pan lined with
parchment, and then flatten them down slightly with my
hand into a patty shape. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes, until theyre just beginning to brown on
top.

I cant believe how much flavor these have,
and this yields a hefty serving: 5 patties per person! I would not complain about that. Alongside these patties, Im roasting up
some vegetables. Two of the most affordable are carrots and
green beans. So Ive added those to a pan with olive
oil, salt & pep, tossing to coat.

I roast them until theyre cooked through, softened and beginning to brown on top,
and Ive got delicious roasted veggies! What a dinner! Healthy, tasty, great textures, and affordable only 0.68 Per serving! That brings our total to $1.89 For the day. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself! Truthfully, a lot of people think healthy
is expensive, and it doesnt have to be, but the sad part of this whole experience
is $1.90, Even if it is enough to create a menu, it isnt enough to really have well rounded
nutrition regularly. So while I am so excited to share these recipes
and the #PassMyPlate campaign with you, and to bring awareness to the American Foundation
for Children with AIDS, I must encourage you to consider your nutrition,
overall caloric intake, and macro and micronutrients if you choose
to try out the challenge for yourself. I will put all of the links in the description
box below to the campaign and organization, and in September, they will be hosting the
actual #PassMyPlate event, where you can join the fight and participate
by attempting to eat for a week using this budget, and help the organization by donating whatever
else you would have spent on groceries for the week.

Really, every little bit helps, so if this
tugs at you at all and you feel inspired to give, I know that they are grateful for anything,
and I am grateful, and, most importantly, the kids and families
in Africa who will be benefiting are grateful. If you liked this special episode, I also participated in this campaign last
year, so you can check out that video for another budget menu, and if you found the video helpful, I hope
youll share it to bring even more awareness to the organization and campaign to others. Plus, youre sharing some nifty affordable
and healthy recipes, too. I appreciate you all so so much for your support
of the channel, and of the organizations that I choose to support here.

I will see you next week, and remember, its all a matter of Mind Over Munch..

Meat Lovers Try Vegan Diets For A Week

- Jazz and I are looking at the email of the things we can't eat. Can't eat eggs. - Oh, fuck. (Bright music) - I really like any type of food except for like really,
really vegetable-heavy foods.

- I'm not used to looking at labels. I wanna get a lot of knowledge
into what goes into foods and I think hopefully my
diet's better after this, and hopefully I learn
how to cook something. - I just went on this journey of having healthy relationships with
myself, food and exercise, and I'm just excited to
start something new and do it in a healthy, positive mental space. - We're going on our
first grocery mission.

I don't know what to look for. Maybe we'll just go to
what we normally get and then look for options. We've made it to the fruit section which we can guarantee is vegan. - I found some meatless meats.

I'm here for sausage! Not in my sexual life, just in this life. - [Lindsay] We're going
for the safe options. - Safe option. Probably not that healthy
but spaghetti's good.

- I feel like I'm trying
things that I've always wanted to try but now trying
stuff I have a reason to. - I'm actually excited. I got a lot (chuckles). I don't know if I can
even eat all of these.

I probably will because
I'm gonna be hungry. - Alright, let's try this vegan sausage. I put some mustard on
it - that's vegan too. Consistency, a little
questionable, but taste? Very good! Oh my god, that actually
kinda tastes like sausage.

- [Jazzmyne] We have
a little meeting today and here's all the food that I can't eat. - Alright so we had catered lunch today and there was tons of sandwiches all of which had meat except one, and it has tofu. I do not like tofu but I
am sticking it out today. - Oh! - Me and my friend were
talking and she's vegan.

She was saying how she gets
annoyed when people do this shit because he will starve and
just don't end up eating because they can't eat anything. And so I've really been
making it a priority to make sure I'm not starving and I'm not. I feel very full and I'm eating vegetables and I'm eating fruits and I feel good. (She laughs) - So today I realized that
not all vegan food is healthy.

I know that's kind of dumb to realize. I snacked a lot. I had Oreos. I had chips.

There was a lot of things
you can eat when you're vegan and not all of them are great for you so I think from now on I
kinda need to watch myself, make sure I'm just
getting nutrients I need. - So it's about 2:30 AM. Usually right now, I would make
an egg sandwich with cheese but I can't because I can't have eggs. So my lunch today is sausageless
sausage and broccoli.

- I'm at the mall and I keep smelling Wetzel's freaking Pretzels
and I can't eat it and it's killing me. - We are on our way to go
to an all-vegan restaurant! - [Girls] Whoo! - We're here. We're looking at the menus. The best part of this is that we can just choose whatever's on this menu.

- All vegan. - All vegan. - So after being vegan for a week, I've realized that it's
truly fucking amazing. The meatless meat options,
it still made me feel like I was eating meat but
I felt better about it, honestly because I knew
I wasn't eating animals.

- I think it really just
opened my eyes to the fact that I just need to start reading
my labels of the things I eat because honestly, the things
that even are good to eat, that don't have vegan
stuff in it, I'm like, oh my God, they have this
amount of sugar and other things that I should be looking
at and paying attention to. - I'm really glad I did this challenge and from now on I can
definitely see myself exploring a lot more options on food. - So yes, I will be
continuing some vegan habits but also yes, I am
driving to Korean barbecue at this very moment. (Crowd chatter) - I just ate an egg.

I just ate a fucking egg! (Soft music).

Low Carb Bento Boxes! Healthy Keto Recipes! - Mind Over Munch

Hey munchies! Welcome if youre new, Im Alyssia, and Im so happy to have you here. A lot of you have wanted more keto and low
carb recipes, and a lot of you want more bento box recipes,
so were putting that together and you are getting both right now. These are 3 keto bento boxes, theyve got low carb recipes but you dont
have to be on a low carb lifestyle to enjoy them. The first box is a vegetarian box.

Im starting with a veggie-packed egg salad! I separate the yolks and whites of boiled
eggs, and add the yolks, mash, and then add some homemade mayo which I showed in my keto meal prep vid as
well as on my Insta story a few times. Then add mustard and mix. Then I can add my chopped boiled whites, red
bell pepper, broccoli rice, mushrooms, chopped celery, and salt & pep and mix! Season to taste. Egg salad is a great low carb addition to
any meal or even as a snack.

I love eggs paired with avocado, so next is
a simple avocado tomato salad! I combine halved heirloom tomatoes, with avocado
cubes, lime juice and salt. Thats it! Of course for prepping purposes, I recommend
adding the avocado the morning youre going to eat this or
even at the time of eating. The creamy avocado with the sweet and tangy
tomatoes are SO delicious, yet so simple. How about somebacon?? Wait, vegetarian BACON!? Were doin it! Vegans and vegetarians can do low carb with
soy but go for a fermented soy product like tempeh
for added health benefits.

In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce or coconut
aminos, hot sauce, and some liquid smoke. Now, this is NOT optional if you want to have that bacon-y flavor, but
it is still tasty without it, it just wont taste as much like bacon! Add cumin and salt & pep. Slice your tempeh super thin, and add the
tempeh to the saucy mixture and soak for just a few minutes. Heat some oil in a pan and add the tempeh
strips, cooking 1-2 minutes on each side over high
heat, until crisp and browned! Transfer to a paper towel to cool, and then
add salt if needed.

Cut into bacon bits! This is great as is, but why not add it to
that avocado tomato salad or the egg salad!? So, remember, all of these recipes are lower
in carbohydrates, but they wont necessarily get you into
ketosis, and its your responsibility to do research
before beginning a ketogenic diet to make sure you know how it works. I do have a keto 101 video if you want to
check it out In the next compartment I have a peach Say what?!? I know, not generally a fruit in the low carb
community, but did you know that 1 small peach or a half
of a larger one has only about 4 grams of net carbs? Some people totally have the carb tolerance
for that and will remain in ketosis! Its nice to switch it up. Last but not least, coconut chips! I add them to a tray and toast them in the
oven for just a few quick minutes, They will brown quickly! They become a delicious and naturally sweet
treat, no sugar or sweetener needed! Who knew a vegetarian low carb box could be
so fun!? Remember, I am just using this bento box for
presentation purposes you can of course store your meals however
you want. The next box is a clean low carb box.

A lot of people think low carb or keto means
a ton of dairy, but it doesnt have to! These are all dairy free! First up, Thai lettuce wraps! These are from my new Low Carb eBook, which
is filled with meal preppable low carb recipes. I also have a separate vegetarian meal prep
ebook too, over 35 recipes in each, and you can get any
eBook or package 10% off this week if you use the code KETO at checkout! All are available at mindovermunch.Com/ebooks. For the lettuce wraps, I whisk together peanut
butter, chicken or vegetable stock, soy sauce or coconut aminos, lemon juice,
sesame oil, chili paste, and a pinch of cayenne. In a saucepan over medium heat, I add ground
turkey and cook through.

Once its completely cooked, I add the sauce
mixture and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes, until the liquid is reduced
and the sauce has thickened. Then I can remove it from the heat and finish
it off with some cilantro and peanuts. I like to serve this in lettuce wraps, but
its delicious and perfectly acceptable to just go at it with a spoon! Time to get our veggies in! Next I have Brussels sprouts chips! Now, I am not a HUGE Brussels sprouts fan,
but I will not turn down a chip! I wont, its true! I wont turn down a chip. Start with the leaves of the Brussels sprouts,
and add them to a bowl with a drizzle of oil and salt.

Toss together and transfer to a baking rack
on a pan lined with foil and sprayed. Bake until crispy! BOOM! That is my kind of vegetable! A lot of people think low carb and keto has
to mean NO fruit, but it doesnt! Some people can tolerate more than others,
but it can still be incorporated if you want it. Raspberries and strawberries are 2 of the
fruits lowest in carbohydrates! The next compartment is filled with pecans
and macadamia nuts, 2 of the most easily accessible nuts, lowest
in net carbs. Finally, a sweet treat: no-bake coconut bars! Mix together coconut shreds, coconut oil,
a liquid sweetener of your choice I am using a clear fiber syrup but you can
use whatever you prefer vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.

Pour into a pan lined with foil and press
with damp hands. Freeze until firm, and then you can thaw slightly
and cut into bars. These are addicting so make sure you only
pack what you want to let yourself eat! The last box is pretty nifty, interactive and veggie-filled lets make healthy food fun! First weve got some buffalo chicken celery
boats. Start with cooked and shredded chicken.

Now remember, you dont need to use the breast
if you dont want because fat is NEEDED on a keto diet. Use whatever you have, but dont be afraid of legs or thighsplus
theyll take you to flavor town! Add buffalo wing sauce, green onions, and
salt & pep to taste. Mix together, and then add to your celery
sticks! Vegetable vessels make eating healthy much
more enticing, dont you think!? Thumbs up for creative ways to incorporate
vegetables! Yeah, you like that!? Well Ive got another veggie packing trick
for you: add them to your guac! I mash an avocado, and then add lime zest, lime juice, finely diced broccoli florets,
shallot, chives, and salt & pep. They add texture and flavor but avocado is
still your number 1! Hon, does this make me look fat?? Get even more veggies in by using them as
dippers! Radishes pair well in flavor, and they can
totally be used as a firm chip! The next compartment is actually a fruit in
disguise: olives! Olives are exceptionally low in carbohydrates
and are a source of healthy fat! A perfect keto snack.

Last but not least, were getting even more
veggies in with some VEGGIE-PACKED ENERGY BALLS! Whisk together coconut flour, sweetener of
choice, cinnamon, and salt. Add in some mashed sweet potato, vanilla extract,
and water. It should stick together when pressed. And then you can throw in some grated zucchini
and carrots.

Refrigerate the mixture for about 15 minutes
before rolling into balls. Think carrot cake, kicked up a notch! These are sure to satisfy that palate transition
were looking for after all of that savory goodness. And those are 3 keto friendly bento box ideas! Remember, I encourage you to get creativetake
these and make them your own! Take what you want, leave what you dont,
these are just here as healthy inspiration and can work into lifestyles that arent
low carb, too! I have an entire BIG BENTO eBook as well that
has all of my bento recipes from my bento series we did last year, and
that is available on mindovermunch.Com in addition to my new Meal Prep recipe eBooks. And, again, for that discount, you can use
the code KETO this week only.
