My favorite part of leading the 30-Day Vegan Challenge is hearing people’s success stories every week. My second favorite thing is making the cooking videos! I love being in front of the camera. I guess that’s why went to college for acting, and received a BFA instead of something more…normal. Ha! But look at me now. I’m using my skills to make super fun videos to share my super tasty delights!
This video for Tempeh Tacos was created for the last 30-Day Vegan Challenge, but I want to share it with you so you can see how cool the program’s content is. Every week during the challenge, participants receive 2 cooking videos. That’s on top of the virtual kitchen tour and bonus videos. If you’re a visual person like me, this is totally for you!
I want to share this video and recipe in particular because it is:
1. Delicious
2. Easy to make
3. Nutritious (high in protein, fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and healthy fat!)
4. So pretty
5. Fun!

It’s a perfect “intro to vegan” meal. The marinated tempeh is tender, juicy and flavorful, while the tortilla and fillings add a familiar charm.
In the 30-Day Vegan Challenge I’ll be sharing a lot of recipes like this. Recipes that are delicious, filling, easy to make and super healthy. Oh, and balanced nutritionally.
Watch the video, give the recipe a try and join me for the next 30-Day Vegan Challenge (starting January 1st).
