Most people assume that acai bowls are healthy and nutritious. Little shops have popped up everywhere touting acai as an antioxidant-rich superfood. Acai bowls are colorful, cold, creamy, sorbet-like and usually brimming with “healthy” toppings. Are they healthy though? Are acai bowls good for weight loss?

I love Mexican food but going out for it usually means eating way more than I plan. This delicious and extremely easy recipe satisfies my craving and checks all of the macro boxes. We have had this casserole every week for well over a year. I thought it was time to share the goodness.
Ingredients 1 lb. 99% lean ground turkey 1 16 oz. can black refried beans 3 Tbsp taco seasoning ½ cup salsa ½ cup reduced fat Mexican cheese blend Directions
Makes 4 total servings. 1 serving=268 Calories 35.4 Protein 18.3 Carbohydrates 5.3 Fat You can make so many substitutions for this casserole. Ground beef instead of turkey. Refried pinto beans. Any variation of taco seasoning. Absolutely any salsa will work. I used green chile salsa this past week because that’s what I had in the fridge. Any kind of cheese. It all works! Just remember that it will change the macro/calorie count. It also works great as a dip and leftovers are awesome. A small side salad is a nice touch and makes this a well-balanced meal. I usually have half of an avocado on my serving with ONE serving of tortilla chips. You don’t have to quit eating what you like, you just usually need to eat less. ![]() |
