PGX Breakfast Taco Recipes

PGX (PolyGlycopleX) is a patented complex super fibre made up of 100% natural, highly viscous polysaccharides. When taken with meals, PGX expands in the stomach over a 30-minute (or longer) time frame. This process creates a feeling of fullness (satiety) by absorbing water and filling the stomach while slowing digestion. This keeps blood sugar from rising too high after meals thereby curbing the body’s hunger cravings throughout the day.

Calories: 200 (per serving)
Makes 8 servings

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Add mango, pomegranate, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice to a medium bowl; stir until just combined. Cover and place in fridge until tacos are ready to serve.

Once lentils are cooked, drain out excess water from pot and remove from heat.
3. While lentils are cooking, make the tomatillo sauce. Remove husks from tomatillos and rinse them under warm water; cut in half and place cut side down on a foil-lined pan along with garlic, jalapeno halves and poblano pepper. Place under the broiler for 5-8 minutes or until the skin of the tomatillos and peppers are dark golden brown and somewhat blackened. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
4. Once cooled enough to handle, peel the blackened skin from poblano pepper and discard. Remove the roasted garlic cloves from their skin and add to a blender along with the rest of the poblano pepper (stem and skin removed), tomatillos and jalapeno halves. Add in cilantro and lime juice; blend for 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
5. Stir in 1 cup of tomatillo sauce into cooked lentils.
6. Sprinkle PGX Granules, salt and pepper to taste, and mix until well combined.
