Living beyond Breast Cancer Awareness month means making better, more wholesome foods, choices for breakfast, dinner and lunch. Snacking between meals will make each recipe more satisfying and focused on flavor and taste.

As we begin our bigger meal option like lunch and dinner not super hungry, we will make healthier choices in ingredients we cook with or buy healthier foods from the the menu.

How do you make a Portobello Mushroom Burger a HEALTHY Option?

First off, opt in for grilling and steaming, avoiding the carcinoges formed during the frying process. Try not to grill portobello mushroom “to death.” Rather allow each mushroom cap to soften under the marinade during grilling.

Or, for a richer flavor, stir in any high-quality or homemade mayonnaise or creme fraiche instead of the yogurt. However, for my healthier version I do use a nonfat probiotic-rich greek yogurt. Our gut needs gut-friendly bacteria to digest well and power up our immune system.

If you are cooking with more plant-based ingredients, mushrooms are the power houses hosting Vitamin B2 known as Riboflavin. This vitamin is responsible for breaking up sugar for fuel. And who wouldn’t like to burn sugar for energy? I do!

How do you cook a HEALTHY Version of a Portobello Mushroom Burger?

Add vegetables that are rich in phytonutrients to your healthier version of a Portobello Mushroom Burger sandwich! You can even leave out bread completely and use lettuce leaves instead.

I really appreciate a good sauce with many foods. This recipe has a unique mix of roasted red bell peppers and yogurt. If you for some reason do not want to use this spread sauce, then choose your own.

For a richer flavor, stir in any high-quality or homemade mayonnaise or creme fraiche instead of the yogurt. You can flavor any mayo or creme fraiche base with your choice of brain healthy foods.
