I love stuffed mushrooms! They are delicious little bundles of flavor and the perfect appetizer. These Keto Stuffed Mushrooms are a great way to have a delectable and healthy snack to serve. If you are vegan or vegetarian, the cheese and sausage can easily be switched out for plant based alternatives like Daiya and Gardein.
The Power of Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a great powerhouse food. They are fat-free, low-sodium, low-calorie, and cholesterol-free. They’re also packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Nutritional benefits vary depending on the type of mushroom, but overall are full of the following beneficial ingredients. They are a great source of antioxidants which help with boosting the immune system and protect from aging. Mushrooms are rich in the antioxidant called selenium – and are the best source of this mineral in the produce aisle. B Vitamins – perfect for heart health, digestion, skin, and more – are also abundant in mushrooms. They also have copper and potassium, which are more minerals that your body needs to function properly. Read more about mushroom health benefits here. Those are just some of the wonderful benefits you get when you have mushrooms in your regular diet. I hope you enjoy this recipe, as it is good for you and very very yummy!
