PreparationNuts can be soaked together. After 2 hours drain nuts. Blend in a food processor (not blender) for about 20-30 seconds to get the nuts chopped well. Add the rest of the meat ingredients and blend, scrapping down the edges of the bowl a few times to incorporate all the ingredients. Blend until your preferred level of chunkiness. I like my meat crumbly and not a smooth paste (see photo). Season with salt if needed.
Pile the meat into the lettuce leaf with toppings and enjoy!

Whatever you do, make a commitment and stick with it! We’re going to do this together as a community to see the positive effects it will have on our health, overall fitness, energy levels, and physique.

Below is a shopping list for you to take with you to the supermarket this weekend. You do not need to buy everything, just buy what you like under each category. I will have the full meal plan with recipes up before Monday. Here it is! Remember, no meat, poultry, eggs, fish, dairy, or honey. And as Nicky Holender says, “EMBRACE THE VEGETABLES!”

Seeds & Grains:
