Coconut Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is a delish and healthy, low-carb option for rice lovers. I love this version infusing coconut flavors into it. Carbohydrates elicit the biggest insulin response, increasing your blood glucose levels. Increased blood glucose levels can eventually lead to insulin resistance when eating starchy carbohydrates chronically. Once insulin is produced by your pancreas, it sets off to manage the incoming glucose (sugar) by directing it to your cells and other parts of your body. The issue is when your cells are stuffed and can’t use anymore insulin it’s sent back into the bloodstream and eventually stored as fat. There’s no reason to continue eating rice if you have an insulin problem when you can eat delicious cauliflower rice.
