I’ve always loved eating nori rolls but traditional nori rolls use rice, which can elevate your insulin levels and put your body into fat making mode. But you can use a combination of cauliflower, almonds, tamari and lemon to make a sticky rice substitute that tastes great, without the hormonal problems that can lead to weight gain.

Nori sheets are loading with trace minerals and make a great wrap. When you combine the cauliflower rice with veggies, avocados and a good protein source you’ve got a really great meal.

In this video you’ll see I made some with avocado, cucumber, sprouts and tuna and a vegan option that substituted tuna with tempeh. Tempeh is fermented soy and although soy isn’t normally good for you, when it’s fermented it can actually be quite good for you because it becomes a probiotic food that provides beneficial bacteria for your digestive system and is also high in Omega-3 fatty acids.

But you can use any fillings you like. Pretty much anything you would put in a sandwich or wrap you can put in cauli-nori rolls. Once you’ve chosen your fillings you can serve them with a little wasabi and ginger ( try to chose a healthy variety that does not have any artificial flavors, colorings or preservatives) and a nice green salad. It’s a real simple recipe that anyone in your family can enjoy!

As you already know here at The Gabriel Method we like to take a mind-body approach to weight loss, which means that we try and address the real issues that may be holding you back from losing weight and keeping it off.

One of the things we like to focus on is nutrition, that’s not to say that we take a restrictive diet approach but instead we focus on adding the right kind of nutrients that your body can digest and assimilate.

Simply put, the more nourished you are, the less hungry you will feel and the easier it will be for your body to burn fat.

With that in mind, I’d like to introduce you to one my favorite fat burning breakfast recipes:

Blueberry Chia Pancakes

This is a great recipe to curb those mid-morning junk food cravings and help keep your blood sugar stable while nourishing your body.

“Most people might say, “Pancakes? You can’t have pancakes and lose weight.” That’s true usually, if it’s a typical pancake made with wheat or flour, but this pancake is made with chia bran.”

Chia bran is a great alternative to baking flour. Chia bran is not ground chia seeds but actually what is left after you cold press chia seeds to extract the oil. It doesn’t contain any starchy carbs or sugars, and it’s highly nutritious. Chia bran is an ideal flour substitute because it’s naturally gluten-free, high in protein, calcium and fiber and a great way to give any meal a healthy nutritious boost. Best of all it tastes great too!

Chia bran can be hard to find in stores but many online retailers sell it, so do a search online for chia bran and see what comes up in your area.

In the video you’ll see that I add greens by making a super simple Green smoothie made up of coconut water, spinach and mango. This green smoothie plus my blueberry chia pancakes make a it a super Gabriel Method Friendly combination and is an incredibly satisfying breakfast meal that will keep you going throughout your day.
