Cauliflower Rice Curry with Sweet Potato
One of the biggest better nutrition mistakes is overdoing it on one nutrient – like carbs. Here cauliflower “rice” allows you to enjoy other carbs like hearty chickpeas and sweet potatoes in this better bowl. Another win? Cauliflower packs fiber, not carbs or calories, and is gluten-free, paleo, and vegan. This recipe delivers 11 grams of fiber which helps you on your way to meeting your daily needs, deliciously.

- Add sweet potato and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
- Stir in coconut milk, water, tomato paste, curry powder and ginger, and simmer on low heat until mixture thickens and potatoes soften.
