40g protein and 18g fiber. Tis the season! So ready!
Loving this complete blood sugar-friendly meal right now. Super similar to the sweet potato pro bowl but I added riced cauli for more volume without more starch. Kinda like oatmeal but oats + pumpkin or any carb/starch isn’t the best for my blood sugar when I test with my CGM. So I created this feel good recipe to have on repeat and reach those healthy goals all at once.
INGREDIENTS
-
1 - 1 1/2 c frozen riced cauli
-
3/4 c canned pumpkin purée (1/2 c works if needing to have less carbs in your health journey)

1-1 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice

1 T ground flaxseed or psyllium husk powder or whole flakes

-
1/2 T pumpkin seeds
-

When you say to add extra protein powder to get up to 30g….do you mean 30g of protein or are you referring to the amount of protein powder? For example, if a scoop of protein powder is 25g by weight, but is 20g of protein…would I add 5g more of protein powder? Or would I add another 1/2 scoop to get up to 30g protein?

I’m not referring to weight in grams but gram of protein so the last part you said ha
Hi there, looking forward to trying this. Thinking I might leave out the riced cauliflower and not replacing it with anything. Do you have any thoughts on this?
Thank you! :)

It’ll work. Search on my site 🔎for the sweet potato Protein bowl. There’s no cauli and similar. You can use pumpkin
I use the Chronometer app to track my foods. Is there a way to include a QR code of the recipe that I can scan to have ingredients populate for the meal?

I’m not sure honestly. But this is a recipe I created years ago so it’s probably on my fitness pal.
Could I sub something for the cauliflower rice? I can’t do cauliflower with IBS.

Grated or riced zucchini works well too!
My body doesn’t like cauliflower. 😂 Any suggestions on how to modify this recipe without cauliflower rice?

Zucchini works great! Grated or riced. Trying a digestive enzyme before eating cauli may help too!
