Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower is naturally low in calories and the perfect rice at dinner time. 

Vegetables were one of the things I never ate enough of growing up. I never appreciated it as much as I do now because I wasn’t armed with the correct nutritional information. Now I understand a little bit about how my body functions I am aware that I cannot eat carbs at night time. Especially bread, rice, and potatoes. That was a massive problem for me and up until now it still is. 

The only difference is, is that I know how to trick myself into wolfing down my dinner with rice made from cauliflower. 

Did you know: Cauliflower is naturally high in vitamin C. Even I was surprised. Its talent is that 1 raw cup contains only 25 calories. So in the case of eating a vegetable (not potato) curry for example. You can have 1 whole cup of cauliflower rice and as much curry as you want because vegetables are considered free food.
