SHHHHH- It’s a Secret!
Don’t freak out, okay? Promise? This candy has a sneaky ingredient and we’re ready to bet ya that no one will know! Our secret: riced cauliflower. It blends in perfectly with unsweetened coconut shreds for a taste and texture quite close to the real thing. The key is using FROZEN and defrosted riced cauliflower (which ends up soft and without the sulfer-y smell and taste of fresh). Betcha never thought you’d say cauliflower candy, huh?!
Start wowing your family (and tricking your kids) with just a few easy ingredients and a spare 10-minutes. Keep these on-hand for sweet cravings during any phase of the 131 Method. One of the best ways we teach about better health is through whole, natural foods. Cauliflower, along with all cruciferous vegetables, boost your health on a cellular level. Aside from helping kick cancer and reduce inflammation, these super-foods fight free radicals and detoxify the body. Sugar and traditional treats do the exact opposite. But, we also believe in moderation. That’s why we believe in makeovers, like this Cauliflower Candy recipe.
