You can do this easily by combining cauliflower florets with butter and salt in a food processor – working in small batches is best so as not to overwhelm the machine!

Chicken Thighs
Chicken is an excellent source of protein, helping keep you feeling satisfied throughout your day. Plus, its fattier texture helps you remain in ketosis longer! For this dish we used boneless skinless chicken thighs marinated with non-dairy yogurt, lemon zest, garlic powder and other flavors for maximum flavor – ideal for any mealtime!
For an extra spicy kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper to the marinade. Or you could experiment with different flavors by including sugar-free BBQ sauce or switching out garlic powder for onion powder or smoked paprika instead – either way this dish is straightforward and will surely impress any dinner guests!
Start by mixing together olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, red wine vinegar and Italian seasoning for the marinade. Next add in chicken thighs seasoned on both sides with salt and pepper before tossing with the marinade and covering it in plastic wrap for at least two hours in the refrigerator or overnight if possible.
Once the chicken has been marinated, prepare your grill over medium-high heat. Place the chicken onto it, cook for five minutes before flipping it, and repeat this process until its internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
Add chicken with steamed vegetables as an ideal meal prep option and store for four days in the fridge – a tasty breakfast, lunch or dinner option!
