My favorite super fast “fried rice”

This meal is just perfection in my book. It's a way lower carb, way higher veggie version of fried rice with tons of yummy protein and it's so fast and so yummy.I just get this amazing cauliflower fried rice at Trader Joe's, some extra cauliflower rice, broccoli, chicken an egg and coconut aminos (tastes like soy sauce but with health benefits). The chicken is the "hardest" part....but not if you use leftovers from grilling or baking, or, in a pinch, a rotisserie chicken from sprouts (super clean) does the trick.








What you need:

  • 1 tsp coconut or avocado oil
  • Cauliflower Fried Rice
  • Cauliflower Rice
  • Broccoli (I'm lazy...or efficient...and get the steam in the bag kind)
  • 1 tsp coconut aminos
  • 1/4 cup chicken
  • 1 egg


What you do:

  1. Heat oil in a skillet
  2. Add all ingredients except egg and sautee until heated through
  3. Push your "fried rice" to the side of the skillet and scramble the egg on the other side
  4. Mix everything together 
  5. EAT IT!
