While the warmer months may be coming to a close (tear!) there are still those warm days in September when soup and hot food just doesn’t really fit the bill. Behold, these coconut mushroom salad rolls.
“Cooling herbs, such as cilantro and Thai basil, will decrease the heat we experience during these months,” explains Ayurvedic and healthy cooking expert Mikaela Reuben. Reuben is a rising (healthy) rock star chef, cooking for celebrity clients like Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, and traveling the world to whip up meals for the Red Hot Chili Peppers on tour and host wellness retreats.
“The coconut is a great source of healthy fat and fiber, which also has a balancing effect for this warmer season.
