Cauliflower "Fried Rice"

Cauliflower is such a versatile vegetable. Who knew you could make pizza crust, mashed "potatoes", alfredo sauce or even cheesy "breadstick" dippers? Well, we have come up with another way to use that cauliflower - make it into a clean version of your hibachi favorite, fried rice! There's no need to add the extra carbs if you don't have to - here's the recipe!

Cauliflower "Fried Rice"

Ingredients:

• 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
• 2 TBSP coconut oil
• 1 small sweet onion, diced
• 1.5 c zucchini, diced
• 1 c mushrooms, diced
• 2 c carrots, shredded
• (OPTIONAL) 1 whole egg, scrambled
• 2 TBSP coconut aminos

Directions:

1. Place cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until you create cauliflower "snow" or it begins to look like rice.

2. Heat coconut oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.

3. Add diced onion and cook until onions become clear, stirring often - approximately 6-7 minutes.

4. Combine zucchini and mushrooms in pot with onions and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

5. Add carrots to pan and saute for 2 minutes.

6. OPTIONAL: Add scrambled egg and stir to combine.

7. Combine cauliflower "snow" with mixture in pan and continue to heat for 1 minute. 

8. Add coconut aminos, stirring thoroughly to combine.

Cinnamon Vanilla Sweet Potato Bites

This is another one of our favorite sweet potato recipes!  It's similar to our Sweet-Sweet Potato Cubes but the vanilla adds a little something extra to make these even better!

Ingredients:

• 2 Sweet Potatoes
• 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil, melted
• 1 Tbsp Pure Vanilla Extract (avoid HFCS)
• Cinnamon, to taste
• Truvia (optional), to taste

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Wash and chop sweet potatoes into bite-sized pieces.
3. Place sweet potato cubes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
4. Sprinkle remaining ingredients over sweet potatoes.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes.
6. Take out and flip or shake potatoes and bake for another 15-20 minutes.

He and She Tip: You could also whisk together all wet ingredients before adding them to the sweet potatoes.

Enjoy!

A common question we get is, "What are some good snacks to keep around?".  The list below are items we always have on hand!  You might run out of prepped food, you might not feel like cooking, or you might be on-the-go!  This list gives you quick and easy snack ideas for those times!

We are often asked about our favorite protein bars and shakes.  You can read more on Clean Protein Powders here for whey and here for vegan.  As far as protein bars go, many are just disguised candy bars (you can read more about that in our supplements post) so we either make our own (you can view those recipes here) or reach for a Quest bar.

Happy Snacking!
