I love fried rice…I mean who doesn’t right? But regular fried rice is definitely not the most healthy meal. One of my favorite things to do is take one of my favorite less healthy meals, and change it up to create a healthier version that still tastes amazing. This fried rice is so simple to make, and super affordable. Depending on what types of fresh ingredients you use this meal can easily cost under $10 and make lunches or dinners for 4 days! Who said eating healthy had to be expensive? To make the cauliflower rice you can either buy a whole head of cauliflower and then use a food processor or blender to chop it up finely into rice. Another option is Trader Joes actually sells cauliflower rice already chopped up so if you are short on time you can opt for that. You can also use either chicken, beef, or turkey mince – or add tofu for a vegetarian option. Give this recipe a try and let me know what you think!
