Do you love spicy stuffed peppers, but want to avoid all the fat in traditional stuffed peppers with meat and cheese? I have recently made the decision to try and modify most of my diet to be plant-based to see how it makes me feel and recover from my running workouts. I also found the research at nutritionfacts.org compelling as far as the health benefits, and it just so happens I have fun coming up with vegan / vegetarian recipes anyway!
I've lost six pounds passively with a plant-based diet over the last few months, and I was fit to begin with!
Frequently, I go to a local farmer's market stand down the road or order produce to be delivered. I always load up with lots of fruits and vegetables. The challenge then is to use all of it before it goes bad. This is a great weight loss technique too, by the way. I've lost six pounds passively over the last few months, and I was fit to begin with!
So yesterday for lunch, I came up with this very tasty, easy, plant-based, whole food, and at least partially locally sourced Vegan Mexican Spicy Stuffed Peppers. Enjoy, and let me know how it goes in the comments!
