Breakfast Cauliflower Fried Rice
Classic dinner fried rice gets a remix in this Whole 30, macro-friendly breakfast version of the popular Asian dish. Rather than regular rice, we used cauliflower rice. It’s just as tasty and packed with nutrients! And instead of scrambling eggs into the mixture, a couple fried eggs make this cauliflower fried rice even more breakfast-based. It can easily be enjoyed at any time, though. Packed with fresh chopped vegetables and tons of flavor, this Breakfast Cauliflower Fried Rice is a great way to start the day on the right note.
