Mushroom Leek Stir Fry

Mushroom Leek Stir Fry: A healthy alternative for your thyroid food diet.

L10302201-1024x576

A fast, super easy recipe, one of my total favorites. High in protein, so if you need to reduce your carbohydrate intake, this is a good source of healthy protein.

You know I love mushrooms for their taste and medicinal properties; they have cancer-preventing abilities, sugar-lowering, cholesterol-lowering, anti-viral properties and the ability to absorb heavy metals. Asians cook mushrooms as a strengthening tonic for recovering patients. This will make a great healthy alternative for your thyroid food diet.

  3. Tamari is different to soy, as in it’s made the same way as soy sauce except it isn’t fermented with wheat

    • Hi and thank you so much for your comment. Yes, Tamari is slightly different (not using wheat during processing) and great for those who are gluten free but want to use soy sauce! ~HB Team
