No-Cook Vegan Tacos (21 Day Fix Approved!)

Recently, I watched the documentary What the Health... and it freaked me the F OUT. 

Yes I'm aware that the information in that documentary is pretty skewed and one-sided, however you can't deny the fact that plant-based foods are healthier for you than animal-products.  Since we watched the documentary we've started to cut back on eating meat and dairy in our family but I decided to take it a step further this week by challenging myself to a 5-day vegan meal plan. I'm not giving up meat, eggs, seafood, or dairy but I do want to cut back on my consumption of these products. 

So, when the time came to plan my meal plan for the week I pulled up the 21 Day Fix vegan eating plan (you can find this in the Program Materials under 21 Day Fix in Beachbody on Demand).  I knew I needed a well-balanced eating plan that would keep me fueled with the right balance of food that would optimize my workouts and my weight loss goals.  I am so thankful that Beachbody has this vegan meal plan option available.  Knowing exactly what and how much to eat (without counting calories) makes this so much easier and enjoyable. 

My goal was to eat delicious yet simple meals that wouldn't take much time to prep/cook.  I hit the jackpot with these delicious vegan tacos!  These are made with just 5 simple ingredients and there is NO COOKING REQUIRED! I'm definitely going to be keeping these on frequent rotation in my meal plans. 

INGREDIENTS

2 corn tortillas

3/4 cup refried beans (I used Amy's Organic)

3/4 cup of shredded cabbage mix (coleslaw mix)

1/4 cup pico de gallo

1 100-calorie packet of guacamole

DIRECTIONS

If you prefer to eat this warm, warm up the tortillas and beans in the microwave first. 

To assemble layer half of the beans, cabbage, pico de gallo and guacamole on each of the tortillas.

That's it! This probably will take you longer to eat than it will to prep! If you want to add anything additional you could try some of the "free" food options such as cilantro and/or hot sauce. 

21 Day Fix vegan container count:  1 yellow (B), 1 red, 1 green, 1 blue

My Miracle Morning Routine for a Healthy Happy Life

Alarm goes off.  Your brain is filled with FML thoughts as you hit the snooze.   

Alarm goes off again.  You still have the FML thoughts and hit snooze just one more time.

Alarm goes off for the third time.  You peel yourself out of bed feeling a little zombie like as you go through the motions of your morning routine.

You're running late because you hit snooze so you're stressed out and also feeling pretty grumpy. 

Can you relate to this scenario?  If so, you better keep reading my friend! 

The scenario above was a typical day in my life BEFORE I found the Miracle Morning book (by Hal Elrod).  I heard about the book and often saw it as a recommended read for me in Amazon and Audible, but I avoided reading it for a while because... I thought it sounded kind of dumb and that I didn't need to improve my routine.  I was already exercising in the morning before work so I felt that I had a good thing going.  WRONG!

To make a long story short, I eventually read the book and LOVED it.  It took me reading it 3 times before I finally was able to open my mind enough to do all 6 of the SAVERS.  After much trial and error I found a routine that really worked for me.  I've been able to stay consistent with this routine for over 6 months now and it has helped me to improve my mindset, motivation, stress level, and fitness. It has helped me to consistently get "me time" every day, which has without a doubt had a tremendous positive impact on my personal, family and work life. 

I made a short video discussing my Miracle Morning routine, and I've included the exact apps that I use and strategy for planning my morning.  Also, I have included links to all of the apps in the notes in the video.  Watch it here:   

This routine can be done in as little as 30 minutes if needed, but I usually dedicate at least an hour to it.  I have found success by staying CONSISTENT with my routine.  Even if the length of the routine may vary day to day, I make sure to do all of the six "SAVERS" at least 5-6 days a week.  

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any tips to get started with your morning routine.  And if you found this helpful, I would just love it if you would give my video a like (thumbs up!) because that will help make it visible to more people who can benefit from it!
