This one is for all my meat lovers who are making the courageous decision to forego meat for 10 days to do the Bellacor Clean & Lean Detox. I was intrigued when one such carnivorous friend told me her husband came up with a vegan, detox friendly recipe that satisfied her meat craving, so I had to give it a shot. And I must say, it did not disappoint! So if you want to spice up your vegetables with a new, savory flavor that's also good for your body, I suggest you try this one out!
