Key Ingredients

Let’s chat about some of the key players in today’s recipe!

Sweet Potatoes

Of course we have sweet potatoes, packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber and well… they just taste GREAT!

Wasabi Cashew Sour Cream

We’re also using a Wasabi Cashew Sour Cream sauce that’s AMAZING and is a great dairy-free alternative to traditional sour cream.

Black Beans

We also have black beans which are loaded with protein, B vitamins and more… fiber.

Veggies!

Topped with veggies, chives and did I mention wasabi cashew sour cream?!

Thrive Algae Oil

I’m also using Thrive Culinary Algae Oil in today’s recipe which I’ve used in prior recipes, just as these Spicy Mushroom Fajitas. You may already be familiar with and a fan of Algae oil. However, if this is the first time you’re hearing about it, let me introduce you! Thrive Algae oil is the first-ever algae oil on the market. Algae oil has many health benefits, including being high in monounsaturated fat, yet is also sustainable with a lower carbon and water footprint than nearly all other cooking oils!! Lastly, if you’re wondering about the taste, it has a light and delicate flavor which makes it easy to incorporate into your recipes right away! Pretty much the summary is that algae oil is great for both cold and hot recipes and is full of health benefits!
