Packed with wonderful flavors and tons of vitamins and minerals, this warm, comforting casserole is an simple to make, weeknight meal.

This Broccoli and Rice Casserole from Lauren Kelly Nutrition is packed with vitamins and minerals and is vegan, gluten free and dairy free!

So, how many of you that made resolutions are still following through with them?

I know it’s only January 11, but many people have already stopped by now!

I personally don’t believe in making resolutions because many people feel overwhelmed and give up, which in turn makes them feeling bad once again.  I like making both short and long term goals each year instead.  I make them realistic and attainable. For example, instead of saying “I want to lose 30 lbs” I say “I want to eat more vegetables each day”.  My goals are more specific  and realistic.

Many of you would like to eat healthier in the new year and that’s where I come in.  I love sharing easy, healthy, delicious recipes with you and I feel so lucky that you are all here.

This casserole is one of those easy one dish meals that you can keep reheating and eat it for a few days! That is HUGE for a busy mom like me…

This velvety smooth casserole is made without those processed creamy soups that are loaded with preservatives and sodium. Trust me guys, you will not miss it one bit.  This is way healthier and made with all whole ingredients. So for all of you that made goals or resolutions to eat more whole foods, this one is for you!

So that’s it, this isn’t fancy and it doesn’t use any crazy ingredients.  If you don’t have almond flour and you don’t need it to be gluten-free, you can simply use any flour you’d like.

    I saw this on Instagram and I got excited! This looks SO good! And I agree about realistic resolutions. Saying your going to lose a certain amount in a month is setting yourself up for failure! I’m trying to workout 3-4 days a week and have greens with every meal!

    Do you think this could be made using a bag of frozen riced cauliflower? Would you heat the cauliflower first or add it frozen to the casserole?

      Hi Katie! Yes I am sure you can use frozen rice cauliflower. Just defrost it and follow the instructions. I hope you love it!

    So hearty & tasty!! Broccoli & rice are my favorite together. Cauliflower rice has been my go-to lately, for a healthier option.
