{Keto, Paleo, CleanKeto, Whole30, Detox}
Quick and easy and oh-so-tasty, egg roll bowl is bound to become a new favorite. This tastes just like an egg roll, but without any of the bad-for-you stuff (yes, wheat flour wraps deep fried in nasty vegetable oils, I’m looking at you).
And it’s topped with a scrumptious sesame sauce that also works well on lots of other foods, like salads, fish, baked chicken, and so much more!
This recipe is Whole30, low carb, and Paleo-friendly (ie. CleanKeto), and is also on-plan when you’re doing my 10-Day Detox.
