Quick Grain-Free Lunch Bowls 🥗🍅🥑
Our Grain-Free Lunch Bowls packed with tasty cauliflower “rice” makes for a really delicious, satisfying, and SUPER quick meal to eat immediately; but they’re also one of our favorites for meal prep!
You can use pre-cut cauliflower rice to make this even quicker! This can be found just about everywhere these days. Often in the deli area as a “freshly chopped” version or in the freezer section at the grocery store.
My 2 favorites are Trader Joe’s brand and the big frozen bags found at Costco.
To Make Your Own Cauliflower “Rice”:
Place cauliflower florets into a food processor and lightly pulse just until broken into rice-sized pieces. Do not over-pulse, or you’ll just have mush.
Sometimes I’ll add an extra egg to the bowl to increase the protein in this recipe. Depending on who the bowl is for, and their daily needs.
Shrimp is an AWESOME addition too if you’re looking to create a protein-packed meal. Simply stir fry your shrimp along with the cauliflower rice.
➡️ Here’s how to make perfect boiled eggs.
