Hello! Do you need to watch your carbs, or are curious about the magic of cauliflower? Read further! I had to watch my carbs when I had gestational diabetes with two out of my three pregnancies. I was so confused when they told me to eat 30 g or less of carbs at each meal – I always thought it was the sugar count that mattered. Sugars matter, especially refined sugars, but I was surprised to see how my blood sugar levels were affected by carbohydrates, even when the sugar count was low.
Nowadays, my blood sugar levels are pretty good, but my PCP still says it’s good to keep the carbs low, especially those derived from refined sugars. Rice is such a staple, and that’s one area that I’ve targeted. Have you tried cauliflower rice? It’s been fabulous! Check it out – here below is an option that our family (including our three daughters) has loved!
The nutritional content is great… DVs: 25% Vitamin A, 60% Vitamin C, 20% Vitamin K, 10% Folic Acid.
I also substitute cauliflower pizza dough crust when able. A lot of pizza places have that option now – amazing!!
Cauliflower is also high in WATER content! It’s so important to have water rich foods, especially in the summer months.
I can’t believe that cauliflower has only recently become a staple food for me – and I hope you consider it if you’re looking to reduce your carbs in popular dishes, or just looking for a change! Vegetables are always a good thing in my opinion!
