TESTIMONY OF THE DAY
30 Day Advanced Keto Plan: “Officially in the 120’s! Feel better than ever!” – Christie
30 Day Accelerated Meal Plan Testimony: “Maria, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I have been following you for about 6 months or so and I can honestly say that I am the HEALTHIEST and in THE BEST SHAPE I’ve EVER been! I’m down to the last 15 lbs and I am almost to goal! Your books and dietary packages was money well spent!
Today I passed a test. And I would NOT have been able to pass it without your help. My dad is an ultra marathoner–he’s incredibly passionate about running. He lives to run. He’s also not the healthiest. He’s eaten a high carb/high sugar diet all his life and it finally caught up with him. About a month ago, he had a heart attack (proof that diet is 80% and exercise is 20%). Of course, our well intentioned doctors have placed him on a low fat diet/high carb diet and have told him he may never run again, especially ultra marathons (his true passion). He’s devastated and I am trying to get him to follow your way of eating. Today, he was supposed to run a marathon. He signed up for it before he had his heart attack. He seemed very sad that he couldn’t run, so he asked me to run instead–THIS MORNING, as in RACE DAY MORNING! Now clearly, I’ve NEVER ran a marathon and I definitely would HAVE to train for it. So I ran a 10k for him instead and I finished with a 12:30 pace or so. I think I most certainly would have done better had I been better hydrated, but I FINISHED! I am NOT used to running 10Ks . I’ve always stuck to 5Ks but I was amazed by how good I felt and how well I did, especially for someone who DID NOT train or prepared ahead. I don’t think that this could have happened without being keto adapted.
So thank you from the bottom of my heart! You are an incredible inspiration to me and my husband. You’ve changed my life and I am forever in your debt.
Cheers!” – Andrea

ZUCCHINI TORTILLAS
One of my Facebook friends on Keto Adapted tagged me in this video on making Zucchini Tortillas and asked if I could “healthify” them. I absolutely fell in love with their idea for Zucchini Tortillas and quickly ran to the store for the ingredients that I would need. Sadly we no longer have a garden since most of our new house is all woods, plus I don’t know how we would have time since we prioritize answering questions and helping clients succeed. I love the idea of a garden, but I do not love weeding!
I also have many requests to make video recipes so Craig helped make this recipe into a video. I hope you enjoy it. PS-the video has music so if you are at work, turn the audio down:)
Here is a video of the process.
I tried the White On Rice blog’s recipe temperature of 450 degrees for 20 minutes and they came out burnt to a crisp. I went back to the store for more zucchini and tried 400 degrees for 20 minutes… still burnt.
Third time was the charm 375 degrees F and I baked them for 13 minutes. Perfecto!
Find this recipe in my new Quick & Easy Ketogenic Cooking Cookbook!
Thank you for your love and support!
This is so great and I have zucchini growing like mad in my garden and of course blossoms too, so I can try both! Thanks for the recipe!
These look AH-mazing, Maria! I think I might have to make my kiddo a breakfast burrito with them!! Yum!
Can you sub cheese with nutritional yeast for dairy free option or would it make it too high carb
That should work. 🙂
Are there any promo codes you are aware of for the Beauty Counter products? I would like to try the body lotion. Thanks!
Sorry, not that I know of right now. 🙂
Can I leave the cheese out?
No
If you want a garden without the weeding (which I also do not care for) get a few big washtubs from your hardware store and plant your vegetables in them. My zucchini is growing like crazy. I also planted cucumbers and peppers and various herbs the same way. A good way to have fresh vegetables without the weeds. To bad the heirloom tomato plants get way too large for this method.
Thank you for the tip!;)))
Is there a sub for coconut flour? 🙂 Almond meal?
You could try it. Here is a conversion: http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/chai-tea-glazed-twinkies-and-donuts/
Awesome Maria! You rock. Cannot wait to try these with my 3 zucchini. Also, if you’re ever in the market for a local, organically grown, family focused CSA let me know 🙂 They have a pick up location in Hudson. I have taken a ton of photos for them and could share a link with you so you could learn more about them. I know what you mean about the time with gardening.
Thanks sweetie;)))
I just made these. Delicious. I had some organic arugula that I wanted to use up so I added it in. I made a dipping/spreading sauce of sour cream, avocado, lime, smoked paprika, cumin, and turmeric. Can’t wait for my husband to come home from work to sample them!
I’m hungry now! Fillings sound awesome!
I had to write that down. Sounds delicious 🙂
Maybe these would work done in a waffle iron or on a GF griddle??
Good idea….;))))
Another idea for an effortless garden. Get the book “Straw Bale Gardens.” Wow! Soooo easy and practically effortless to grow just about anything but corn in straw bales. Did strawberries in 2 bales this year. Will be doing more things in straw bales next year. You could have a garden on pavement! Love gardening this way.
Thanks SO much;)
Great job, Team Emmerich, for the video – fun to watch & listen to
Thanks Donna!
What can i substitute for the cheese? What happens if I leave it out?
Sorry. Cheese is the binder. You could try these: http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/gluten-free-tortillas/
Has anyone tried making these like pancakes? It is summer and the oven does not sound like a great idea.
I haven’t but that’s a good idea!
Wow is this right 59 grams of carbs?
Only the store bought ones. Not mine!;)))
59 grams of carbs really
Only the unhealthy versions. Not mine! ;)))
Love the video Maria!! These look so good, going to try them with the squash I just bought at the Farmer’s market.
Awesome!
So great having the video. It’s super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to do that.
Wish I lived closer that we could trade my produce for your services!
Can’t wait to try them. Zucchini is plentiful this year. Love your video. I like your taco seasoning container. The things we pick up on. I’ve got to get one. Thanks Maria!!!
Thanks!
Love the video and the music. Do these keep in the refrigerator or freezer? Do you actually use them like a tortilla? My husband has a garden and thinking these might be better than zucchini bread. 🙂
Thanks! Maria
The Zucchini Tortillas were sooooo good! I didn’t miss the shell/tortilla. Wonderful flavor!!! Thanks Maria!
Thank you!!!
Wow.
Mixed up the ingredients (used manchego/pepper jack cheese) and *spread the whole mixture* flat onto parchment paper on a baking sheet. Baked at 375 til Brown (took a while) . . . cut it into ‘chips’ (the bottom was slightly soft) but it was Amazing. Hubby/Kids tried it . . . Delicious. :))
Thanks so much. You are One Creative Lady!!!
Thanks!
My tortillas were kind of soft on the bottom and broke when we bent them. Any ideas what we did wrong? Otherwise they tasted great.
Your coconut flour must have absorbed more moisture (some brands do that). I would add a bit more moisture next time. 🙂
I want to make this but the link to the healthified taco seasoning doesn’t work 🙁
It is here: http://mariamindbodyhealth.com/taco-seasoning/
IU fixed it above. Thanks!
Just made these! Omigosh! So good! The taco seasoning put it over the top! I made mine thinner than yours, so couldn’t pick up my tacos, with the standard ground beef, tomato, salsa, cheese and lettuce fillings, but had to eat them with a fork. I, also, had to cook them for 20 minutes. Probably an altitude thing since I live at a mile high. Thanks so much, Maria! Love these!
Thank you!!!
I love this recipe!!! I probably would not have made them had I not seen your video. Excellent job! I would have thought it was too much work to try etc etc yadda yaddda yadda. You made it look so easy and it is super simple!!!! I am making a second batch today. I’ll be adding a couple of little extras in half the batch to see how it tastes. Thank you so much. PS I used them as bread for a sandwich…Excellent!!!
Thank you!
How long do they last for?
4 days in fridge.
Second time I’ve made these and my husband said yum after every bite!
That warms my heart😍😍😍
What type cheeses would you suggest using for the best results?
Hi Maria, I’ve tried to make these twice, and both times the tortillas are sticking to the parchment paper so badly that I have to throw out the batch. I don’t have spray coconut oil, so I used regular coconut oil and REALLY greased the paper. Any idea what might be going on and how I can get better results? Excited to try these!
Bummer! How disappointing. I would try dusting the coconut oil with powdered Parmesan or coconut flour. Also try small eggs instead of large ones. Could be too much liquid from eggs.
Hope that helps!
Maria, could I adjust the amount of egg to help bind these. I am allergic to dairy products. Thanks.
That might work. 🙂
