Fish Tacos are one of my absolute favorite foods! So when I heard that fish was not part of the wfpb diet I struggled with the idea.
But then I found out that they made plant based fish. I thought I’d give it a try so I bought Gardein’s plant based fish. I had previously used it for a zucchini, carrot fish stir fry and it was really good!
Experts say to eat the rainbow meat meaning to eat a wide variety of colorful foods. You’ll have it nailed with this colorful vibrant dish that is pleasing to the eye and delicious!
The sweet tangy creamy taste of the cabbage slaw Is a joy to the palate and to the eyes with the vibrant purple of the cabbage and the mango hues of the fruit. Not to mention that its full of nutrients!
Purple cabbage is a colorful super food!
It’s full of phytochemicals, antioxidants, nutrients, vitamins, and minerals.
Some of its benefits include:
- May prevent premature aging
- anti-cancer benefits
- Boosts the immune system
- Good for skin and eyes
