Make anti-inflammatory tacos with my vegan white “fish” taco recipe using the magical exotic fruit, soursop or atemoya!  

My Personal Relationship with Food as Medicine 

When my mom was first diagnosed with cancer many years ago, we immediately turned to food as medicine.  

I was amazed to learn how many foods could not only feed inflammation and cancer but there were many foods that helped to fight cancer cells and lower inflammation in the body.

When I became completely plant based years ago, my mom also said she wished there a vegan fish recipe that could mimic the taste and texture of a white fish, like some of out favorite fish tacos growing up in Southern California.  

For a while, I didn’t think it could be done, especially with a whole food ingredient.  

Then I came across Soursop and was BLOWN away by how I could transform it and it’s INCREDIBLE health benefits!!

Aside from their health benefits they are one of the most incredible substitutes for fish in the taste and texture!  It’s truly amazing and I’m so excited for you to try this recipe!

A Life Changing Vegan Fish Taco Recipe

Soursop, also known as graviola or guanabana, is an exotic fruit that’s gaining popularity for its unique taste and impressive health benefits.  Which happens to transform when cooked and with the right marinade.

This tropical fruit not only offers a delightful combination of flavors but also boasts numerous health advantages, making it a fantastic addition to your diet.
