🐔 Chicken Breast
Lean, high-quality protein that’s rich in B vitamins (especially niacin and B6), chicken breast helps support muscle repair, metabolism, and immune function. Its low fat content makes it a perfect pairing for rich marinades and healthy fats like coconut oil.
🥥 Coconut Oil
Coconut oil provides quick-burning MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides) that help fuel the body with energy—perfect for low-carb eaters relying on fat for fuel. It also has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties that support gut and immune health.
🧅 Onion
Onions are a low-carb aromatic powerhouse. Rich in quercetin and sulfur compounds, they support liver detox, circulation, and offer natural anti-inflammatory effects—especially when cooked gently in healthy fats.
🧄 Garlic
A primal staple, garlic is loaded with allicin, a potent compound known for its immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory, and heart-protective effects. It also adds serious depth to jerk seasoning.
🥥 Coconut Milk
Coconut milk brings healthy fats and a creamy texture to the rice without dairy. It’s rich in lauric acid, which supports immune function, and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Light coconut milk gives you all the benefits with fewer calories, if needed.
🍋 Lime (Juice & Zest)
Lime is loaded with vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids that support skin, immunity, and liver health. It adds brightness to the dish and balances the rich and spicy flavors perfectly.
🥦 Cauliflower Rice
Cauliflower is one of the most nutrient-dense, low-carb veggies around. It’s high in vitamin C, vitamin K, choline, and glucosinolates—all of which support detox, inflammation control, and brain health. As a rice replacement, it keeps things light and primal.
🌿 Coriander (Cilantro)
Fresh coriander adds a refreshing herbal lift. It’s known to support heavy metal detoxification, promote digestive ease, and boost natural detox processes.
