Why This Recipe Works
High fiber + low carb = the ultimate combo for fat loss and steady energy. Fiber slows digestion, so you stay full longer.
Low carb means no insulin roller coaster. Together, they keep hunger at bay while fueling your body efficiently. Plus, this recipe packs flavor—because life’s too short for bland food.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cauliflower rice (low carb, high fiber base)
- 1/2 avocado (healthy fats + fiber)
- 1/2 cup black beans (fiber powerhouse, but measure—carbs add up)
- 1 cup spinach (iron, fiber, and zero guilt)
- 2 tbsp olive oil (healthy fats for satiety)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder (flavor bomb)
- Salt and pepper (because seasoning is non-negotiable)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Sauté the cauliflower rice in olive oil over medium heat for 3–4 minutes until tender.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted—about 1 minute.
No one likes soggy greens.
- Toss in black beans and garlic powder. Stir for another 2 minutes.
- Slice the avocado and place it on top. Smash it gently if you’re into that.
- Season with salt and pepper.
Taste. Adjust. Repeat.
Storage Instructions
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Reheat in a pan (microwaving turns it into mush). Avocado browns fast—add it fresh when serving. Pro tip: Meal prep the base and add avocado last-minute.
Benefits of This Recipe
Keeps you full: Fiber + healthy fats = no 3 PM snack attacks. Balances blood sugar: No spikes, no crashes, just steady energy. Supports gut health: Fiber feeds good bacteria—your gut will thank you. Easy to customize: Swap ingredients based on what’s in your fridge.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Overdoing beans: They’re high fiber but also higher carb.
Stick to 1/2 cup.
- Skipping fat: Low carb doesn’t mean no fat. Olive oil and avocado are your friends.
- Underseasoning: Spices make everything better. Don’t be shy.
Alternatives
No cauliflower rice?
Try shredded zucchini. Hate black beans? Lentils work (but watch portions). Vegan?
Skip the cheese (wait, there wasn’t any—good job reading the recipe).
FAQs
Can I freeze this?
Technically yes, but the texture gets weird. Fresh is best. FYI, avocado does NOT freeze well.
Is this keto-friendly?
Close, but beans push the carb count up.
For strict keto, swap beans for extra avocado or nuts.
How do I make it spicier?
Add chili flakes or hot sauce. IMO, everything’s better with heat.
Can I use frozen spinach?
Yes, but thaw and drain it first. No one wants a watery mess.

High fiber, low carb foods don’t have to be boring or restrictive.
This recipe proves it. It’s simple, flexible, and actually tastes good—unlike most “diet” food. Make it.
Eat it. Enjoy it. And watch those cravings disappear.
