Smart Rice

3 Per Box

If you’re looking for a way to enjoy your favorite rice-based meals without all the extra calories and no carbohydrates, let me introduce you to my Smart Rice—a healthy, low-calorie alternative for rice lovers who are focused on weight management, gut health, or just lightening up their diet.

This rice substitute is made from the bulb of the Konjac plant, which grows in Asia, and it’s naturally gluten-free (though I always recommend checking labels carefully, as some products out there contain blends with grains). What I love about my Smart Rice is that it’s pure, packed with fiber, and incredibly low in calories.

On it’s own, it has a neutral flavor, so serve it with a flavorful sauce or use it in dishes like Jambalaya (recipe on my website), and you’ll hardly notice the difference from regular rice. The best part? Thanks to the high fiber content, it helps keep you fuller for longer, improves digestion, and supports your gut health.

Konjac is rich in glucomannan, a soluble fiber that’s been shown to help with weight loss, manage blood sugar, and lower cholesterol when included in your diet regularly. Many people also use it as part of a detox regimen because of its benefits for digestion and skin health.

I often jokingly describe it to my patients as “God’s gift to those who want to lose weight”—and I mean it! I include it in my diet regularly and now you can too. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
