Eating healthy is a lot less fun than stuffing your face with whatever the hell you want.

But if you're looking for a sneaky way to cut carbs and add more veggies to your diet without giving up your favorite foods, you came to the right place.

I'm about to let you in on a little food secret that has seriously changed my life: riced cauliflower.

Lately, riced cauliflower has been gaining a lot of attention, and now it's practically flying off the shelves of food stores like Trader Joe's. It's not hard to see why people are going batshit crazy over these little chopped-up bits of cauliflower.

This healthy ingredient has a mild taste and soaks up whatever flavors you season it with, so the possibilities of what you can make with this stuff are pretty much endless.

Since I'm always on low-carb diets, I'm pretty obsessed with riced cauliflower, and I low-key put this shit in everything I eat.

You can use this glorious ingredient to make everything from a simple bowl of low-carb rice to veggie packed "oatmeal", guiltless sushi, Paleo desserts and everything in between.

Plus, riced cauliflower can even be used to swap out the unhealthy refined carbs in things like bread, pizza crust, tater tots and taco tortillas.

So yeah, riced cauliflower will basically change your whole outlook on eating healthy. You're welcome.
