Health doesn't have to be boring and it certainly doesn't have to be tasteless! This Chinese Takeout Favorite is normally loaded with lots of toxic oils and sugar. Take a look at how I changed up this Friday Night Favorite!

You can have your Mongolian Beef and your abs too!

Health doesn’t have to be boring and it certainly doesn’t have to be tasteless!

I LOVE and I mean I LURRRVVVVV the challenge of taking a traditionally nutrient deficient recipe like Mongolian Beef and Broccoli and making it something that will make my brain and body feel GOOOODDDDDD!!!

This Chinese Takeout Favorite is normally loaded with lots of toxic oils and sugar. So I simply used a pure Avocado Oil, Swerve (a sugar alternative), skipped unnecessary starchy carbs and added extra protein by using collagen as a coating for my broccoli and a thickener for my Sauce!

Take a look at how these changes amped up the nutritional profile of this Friday Night Favorite!
