Vegan High Protein Lettuce Taco Boats 🌮 - Food Photography

Morning everyone! Today’s recipe is being posted a bit earlier than usual, because I’ve decided to start getting my recipes out earlier in the day so I have more time to work/get things done later in the day. Shifting my schedule around bare with me 😅

This delicious recipe is something I enjoy, but do not eat often, lettuce tacos! I usually eat these without cooking anything and just use raw nuts as the base for meat (which turns out to be a recipe much higher in fat... no bueno!), however I decided to switch it up and these were so delicious! 

These are perfect for summer dinners because the lettuce is so refreshing and crunchy, with the raw veggies, avocado cream & taco sauce it’s just YUM all day long. 🙌🏼

I hope you all enjoyed Independence Day, and celebrated with a vegan meal! I was considering going all out and making black bean burgers, but it was hot, and I wanted something refreshing. That recipe will have to wait for another day!
