This Coconut and Lime Cauliflower Fried Rice is perfect for these hot summer days with its mix of lime and coconut. Its light and healthy and is the perfect side dish that compliments any protein with out having that guilt of feeling stuffed!

My absolute favorite thing about this dish is how it uses cauliflower instead of rice. If you haven’t done this before, I highly suggest you give it a try. Cauliflower is lighter on the carbohydrates than rice, absorbs the flavor of almost anything you cook with it (in this case, creamy coconut milk, zesty lime juice, and fresh cilantro), and it a great way to get those veggies in! It might sound strange, but once you process the budget-friendly veggie into to small pieces, it really does look like rice! And take it from me the Brazilian rice lover!

This “fried rice” recipe makes a large batch (8 servings) and extras store well in the fridge. So, if you’re not serving a crowd, wrap up any leftovers and enjoy them during the week. Serve the rice as a side with protein, or mix it up with some other veggies to make it into a stir fry!

When you take a step out of your comfort zone, you never know what you can acheive!

This past week I attended my first ever Beachbody Coach Summit! I was over whelmed with excitement. I had the privilege of listening to other coaches share their stories and tips, workout with 24, 000 other coaches and celebrity trainers as well as be recognized on stage for our teams success!

I walked across stage in the Bridgestone Arena in front of 24,000 other coaches in Nashville, Tennessee. I have to be honest when i say I was totally nervous. Im just a regular  girl just like anyone else that wanted to lose weight and feel better. Never in million years did I think I would be recognized for the success of our team! A lot of people might think that Im lucky or just know a lot of people but the truth is, I'm just a normal girl like anyone else! All I did is make a decision and go for it!
