Cauliflower & Hemp Seed Breakfast Bowl

Sunday mornings are my favorite mornings. One word defines this for me, GRITS. Grits, eggs, bacon with pancakes is one of favorite go-to breakfast.

Unfortunately, 1/4 c dried grits has over 23g carbs. How did I continue enjoying Sunday morning breakfasts?

With a little bit of thinking, inspirations, and experiments I've created these lower carb version of grits that I know you will love!

Saphia’s Tips:

  • Do not over cook the cauliflower or your grits will be smushy
  • For a thicker texture, you can also add 2 tbsp of heavy cream (they have dairy-free heavy cream as well)
