Your search for more nutritious, sustainable and flavorful meals led you to The Blend. Great choice! But now you’re wondering, “What’s the right ratio of mushrooms to meat?” The truth is, there’s more than one way to blend. In fact, you can adjust the ratio to whatever consistency suits your mood. Maybe you want to load up on mushrooms and maximize that undeniably earthy flavor or maybe you’d prefer to let the meat take center stage. Either way, blending finely chopped mushrooms with your ground meat will reduce calories, fat and sodium while adding important nutrients like potassium and vitamin D.
