Keto Rice

keto rice

Keto rice is my go-to substitute side dish for any meal in place of;

  • Rice
  • Potatoes
  • ‘Bowl’ meals (in place of the wheat or corn tortillas)
  • ‘Chinese/Japanese’ inspired dishes

It can be used in combination with;

  • Taco or burrito mix
  • Stir fry chicken/beef
  • Steamed seafood & veggie

The possibilities are truly endless. The great thing is you can customize as you wish by adding or removing any items.  For example, I like cabbage better than brussel sprouts.

In order for my keto rice to have detox benefits, all ingredients must be organic or ‘toxin free’.

Luckily, most of these fresh, whole food ingredients have a detoxing effect on the body reducing the body’s toxic burden that interferes with optimal health.
