COCONUT VINEGAR
What is coconut vinegar you may ask when you see this recipe? Well, Coconut vinegar exceeds all other vinegars in amino acids, vitamins and mineral content. Don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like coconut! Here are some reasons why I love it!
1. It is also a FOS (a prebiotic that promotes digestive health).
2. The sap used to make coconut vinegar comes from coconut trees grown in volcanic soil rich with minerals. No need to worry about your potassium if you don’t eat potatoes or bananas (because they are too high in sugar/starch), coconut vinegar has 192mg per tablespoon!!! The sap also contains large amounts of phosphorus, potassium, iron, magnesium, sulfur, boron, zinc, manganese and copper.
3. Coconut sap has all 9 essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. It also contains 8 nonessential amino acids. Proteins are part of every living cell in your body, it forms hemoglobin, which carries oxygen and antibodies, which boosts the immune system. Amino acids also repair tissue, serve as neurotransmitters, transmits messages within the brain, and some detoxify your body and boost metabolic functions.
4. It is low on the glycemic index, coming in at only 35 on the scale.
This natural vinegar is a great replacement for your recipes that call for other vinegar. I use it for Kai’s bone broth, soups, dips, salad dressings, marinades…you name it. Click HERE to find.

Instructions
CHICKEN KABOBS:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, vinegar, and lime juice. Season with chili powder, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in a shallow baking dish with the sauce, and stir to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 1 hour. Preheat the grill for medium-high heat. Thread chicken onto skewers, and discard marinade. Lightly oil the grill grate. Grill skewers for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the chicken juices run clear.
"RICE":
- To make the “rice,” cut the cauliflower into pieces and pulse in a food processor until small pieces of “rice.” TIP: You can also use the heart of the cauliflower for rice, or use for making “French Fries.” (TIP: can do this up to 2 days ahead of time and store in the fridge for easy lunch/dinner options). Stir fry the cauliflower “rice” in oil for about 3-5 minutes or until cauliflower pieces are done to the desired liking.

TESTIMONIES OF THE DAY
Phone Client Testimony (UPDATE FROM ROBERT: Click HERE to find his original testimony on how he does it with traveling 80% of the time): “Hi Maria, Just a quick note. When we started over a year and a half ago a good part of my goal was life insurance. As I crossed other milestones including not losing 20 lbs in 12 months, I just had my paramedical this am.
I don’t have the blood results back but blood pressure, pulse and weight were great. In fact I was 14 lbs UNDER the next weight class.
Once final confirmation and results of blood I’ll try to send you another. But after 20 months just wanted you to know we did it. Lost the weight, kept it off and have been a new normal for at least 16 months.
More to follow. All the best to you.” –Bob

So, this may be a dumb question, but in reading your recipe for the Cauli-Rice I see in the ingredients coconut oil or butter. However, I do not see either of those ingredients in the directions. In the directions, however, there is a crumbled bouillon cube that is not in the ingredient list. Can you please help a poor home cook? LOL 🙂
I fixed it above. 🙂
Why use a bouillon cube? And what kind…msg triggers migraines for me.
Sorry, that was a typo. I fixed it above. 🙂
What sort of grill do you use? I’m looking to buy one but I’m not sure what to go for. I’m steering clear of the George Foreman grills. I used to have one but everything was so dry!
