Sharing is caring!

This cilantro lime cauliflower rice recipe will easily become a staple to your weekly meals at home. I am someone who is obsessed with Chipotle’s Cilantro Lime Rice and when I am eating paleo or Whole 30, I truly miss it.

I was thrilled when Chipotle started offering their lifestyle bowls and gave options for Whole 30, keto, paleo, vegan and vegetarian.

At home, I do like to recreate my favorite bowls with my easy cilantro lime cauliflower rice recipe. It not only is super easy and delicious, it is also great to meal prep with and have for the next couple days as side dishes.

One of the keys to making this cilantro cauliflower rice flavorful is by adding a Whole 30 compliant bone broth to the dish. Not only does it add flavor to the dish, it also adds the health benefits of bone broth to it.

Health Benefits of Cauliflower

Cauliflower is a nutrient-dense vegetable that offers many health benefits. It is low in calories, high in fiber, and a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, vitamin K, and folate.

Cauliflower also contains antioxidants, which can help protect the body against damage from free radicals. Additionally, research suggests that cauliflower may have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce the risk of certain diseases, such as heart disease and cancer.

Furthermore, cauliflower is also a good source of choline, a nutrient that plays a critical role in brain development, memory, and muscle control.

Eating cauliflower can also aid in weight loss as it is low in calories and high in fiber. Overall, cauliflower is a healthy and versatile vegetable that can be incorporated into many different dishes and is a great addition to a healthy diet.

What is Whole 30?

The Whole30 program is a 30-day dietary plan that is focused on eliminating certain foods from your diet and promoting whole, nutrient-dense foods.

The program was created by Melissa and Dallas Hartwig in 2009 and is based on the idea that certain foods can cause inflammation and other health issues, and that eliminating them for a period of time can help improve overall health.

During the Whole30 program, participants are encouraged to eliminate all grains, legumes, dairy, sugar, and processed foods from their diet.

Additionally, alcohol, carrageenan, MSG, and sulfites are also not allowed. Instead, the program promotes a diet that is rich in vegetables, fruits, meats, and healthy fats. The idea behind this is that by eliminating these foods for 30 days, it will be possible to identify any food sensitivities or intolerances, and to promote a diet that is based on whole, nutrient-dense foods.

The Whole30 program also includes a focus on mindful eating, encouraging participants to pay attention to how their body feels after eating certain foods and to make a conscious effort to eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full.

The program also encourages people to cook their own food and to avoid eating out as much as possible.

Overall, the Whole30 program is a 30-day dietary plan that is designed to promote whole, nutrient-dense foods, and to eliminate certain foods that may be causing inflammation and other health issues. While the program can be challenging, many people have reported positive results including weight loss, improved digestion, better sleep and more energy.

However, it is important to note that the Whole30 program is not a long-term solution and should be followed under the guidance of a healthcare professional. You can learn more about the Whole 30 Program here.
