Delicious, healthy Beauty Detox food can and often should be super easy. Who has time to make complicated recipes every night? I know I don’t. When I have a dinner party, sure I make some fancier things. But week to week, I’m making meals like this which I can make in just a few minutes. What helps is having leftover brown rice in the fridge, that you can make when you have time, and save extra for the next day.
So I’m excited to introduce you to yet another super easy recipe…my Sauteed Herb Mushrooms ‘n Kale over Sprouted Brown Rice Recipe. It’s full of beauty nutrients, protein, minerals, and more. I can’t wait for you to try it for yourself. xo
Let’s find out more about…
The Humble Forest Veggie…Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a symbol of longevity in Asia because of their health-promoting properties. When I was traveling in Japan, Korea and China I loved all the mushies I found everywhere. Thy are a great source of veggie protein, and can be worked into your diet to help make meals more hearty and give them more oomph.
Mushrooms are pretty unique, in that they are actually a fungus—a special type of living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds. They may be considered a humble fungus, but all-around, they are surprisingly nutritious and retain many of their nutrients even when cooked, so they have great nutrition cooked or raw.
They are low in calories and contain antioxidants, including ergothioneine 5, which protects cells—fights against oxidative damage, slows aging, and protects your health, as they provide plenty of protein! To read more about mushrooms, click here.
Nutrient-Rich Kale
One of my favorite beauty greens is kale. It reminds me of the dark, hard greens I would see one of my favorite animals- the mighty gorilla- eating in the Rwandan jungles.
This hearty leaf provides a substantial mix of chlorophyll (a major blood builder), protein-building amino acids, enzymes, minerals, and antioxidants. It’s now being recognized as providing comprehensive support for the body’s detoxification system, which is a major topic in all my Beauty Detox books.

Packed with these amazing veggies and poured over sprouted brown rice, which is a great gluten-free grain, this is a yummy and hearty meal.
Prepare all ingredients. Cooking brown rice in veggie broth adds some flavor, which is something you can try here in this recipe and whenever you feel like it :).
Meanwhile, heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook for a few minutes (remember garlic and onions are always optional).
Then add the mushrooms and continue to saute until mushrooms release their juices and begin to soften, about 5 more minutes.
Stir in the tamari to make a gravy-like consistency.
Add thyme and season to taste.
Add in kale and let wilt.
Serve over germinated brown rice or combine with rice and wrap in lettuce or collards for a delicious wrap.

I LOVE the above photo of you and Lil Bub 🙂 Gosh, he’s grown soo much…
I have a quick question for you, I don’t have access to kale in my area (I’m still residing in the Middle East) and am wondering if I can substitute frozen spinach for the kale in your yummy looking sauteed herb mushroom recipe. Thanks again for all that you do and have a wonderful day.
This recipe looks absolutely gorgeous. I am on day 16 of a 31 day vegetable juice and smoothie detox. I have marked this page for one of my first transition meals back to solid food. Counting down to February now. Looking forward to it already 🙂
Sounds amazing Mary and thanks for bookmarking my recipe. Let me know what you think when you do give it a try. Sending lots of love and support on your detox journey! 😉
I’ve never been a big fan of mushrooms, but this recipe is absolutely delicious!
I love this recipe. I added more kale and used 1 1/2 tablespoon of tamari. This recipe is a great make ahead recipe for all those that have busy lives. I can appreciate the ease of the recipe and the ingredients.
Love it!
I am so happy you love it! :)xx
Yum! This was so tasty. I didn’t need to add much salt at all because the garlic and tamari were so flavorful.
Thanks so much Carmen. So happy you enjoyed it. Sending you lots of love! 😉
