Find Out What A “Neat” Taco Is And Why You Will Want To Try It!
WALNUT TACOS. YES, IT’S A THING!
It’s time for some walnut tacos! In this episode of #LunchBreakLIVE, Rhio Rhio, a healthy living advocate, author, singer, Truganic farmer, activist, plant-based raw chef, and teacher, makes a living food dish called “neat tacos.” Live from the virtual Ellora Wellness kitchen with host, Vanessa Marsot, this meal is unique, rich, and healthy…..filled with all the flavor you expect in a taco!
CARNIVORES WILL LOVE THESE WALNUT TACOS
How much do vegans have to give up when they stop eating animals? Nothing! These “neat” walnut tacos will satisfy even the staunchest carnivores. Once you try them, you will certainly crave them in the future, with their rich walnut-based “meat,” and the addition of carrots to make them extra hearty and rich. They are not only filling, but also spicy, raw, and full of live nutrients that don’t get destroyed by cooking them.
Vegans have thousands of veggies and fruit, spices, and herbs to choose from, while carnivores eat the same half dozen animals over and over, so the variety is much greater as a vegan. Let’s check out what Rhio cooked up for us today using brilliant fruits and vegetables filled with health!
