Pineapple Cashew Cauliflower Rice with Coconut Milk

Skip the carbs with this super yummy and totally easy Pineapple Cashew Cauliflower Rice with Coconut Milk.

Back in the beginning of the year I was completely obsessed with riced cauliflower. I guess you could say I went through a period of no carbs, or low carbs, and cauliflower rice of all varieties was my favorite.

I made several different kinds of cauliflower rice, but this Pineapple Cashew Cauliflower Rice with Coconut Milk was probably one of my favorites.

So easy and tasty, it’s simple enough to make any day of the week, but complex enough in flavor and texture that you could enjoy it alone as a meal or as side. One of my favorite easy dinners is actually this with either leftover shredded chicken or simple sautéed shrimp.

Plus, if you have a kiddo that loves rice, this is a GREAT way to sneak some extra veggies into their diet 🙂

I can’t speak from experience. My child has only just recently started eating rice and it has to be of the Spanish variety. I guess I know what I will be making later this week…

I strongly recommend adding a good handful of cashews in with the pineapple and coconut cauliflower rice, however, I have since tried it with macadamia nuts and it is SO GOOD! But, I have just learned how much I love macadamia nuts, so currently they are making their way into anything and everything.
