You have to try this Healthy Turmeric Cauliflower Rice! Have you heard about the benefits of turmeric? Turmeric is anti-inflammatory, can increase antioxidants, and lowers your risk for heart disease to name a few.
Cauliflower rice can be a great alternative for those trying to eat a low-carb diet. It’s very low in calories as well. I don’t even really like cauliflower, but I do enjoy cauliflower rice. It’s super easy to make too. So is this healthy recipe.
This recipe is vegan, gluten free and paleo approved. You can turn it into a main dish by adding some vegetables and your favorite protein. I think carrots and peppers would go really well with the flavors. For protein, I would suggest chickpeas or tofu if you eat soy. It’s very versatile!
We filmed a short video for this recipe. You can view it below.
