Do you need a tasty dinner recipe that the whole family will enjoy? This veggie stir fry is one of my favorites. I love how easy it is to make, even on a busy weeknight. Plus, it’s got lots of veggies making it easy to get in your veggies for the day. I double it so I can have leftovers the next day because in my opinion, leftovers make the world go round and one less meal I have to cook!
This Veggie Stir Fry is a healthier version on takeout that’s loaded with flavor.
If you’re checking out the ingredients and wondering what Coconut Aminos is, it’s a healthier alternative to soy sauce.
Soy sauce is highly processed and contains MSG. And it contains phytoestrogens that are estrogen mimickers in the body. For women, this can increase our estrogen which increases the chances of PCOS, breast cancer, cervical cancer, and other hormone imbalances. You can find Coconut Aminos almost anywhere now and it’s most likely located in your grocery stores health food section. If you live by a Trader Joe’s, they have the best price.
I hope you love this Veggie Stir Fry as much as we do. I love creating simple, easy, and delicious recipes the whole family will love.
