No one knows better than I how challenging it can be to find the right recipes to help you stabilize on Phase 3. I also love good food and exotic flavors and spices. This Lime Cilantro Cabbage Rice Phase 3 is one more inspiration from my travels over the last few years.
My recent honeymoon to Costa Rica and week long cruise to the Caribbean got my taste buds pumped up and inspired for the flavors of the tropics. I adore tropical flavors like lime and coconut. The flavors of tangy lime and creamy coconut sauce with a hint of ginger pair beautifully combined with the crisp taste of fresh cilantro.
Serve Lime Cilantro Cabbage Rice Phase 3 as a delicious phase 3 approved side dish or top with your favorite P3 entrees and recipes. Try it with chicken, shrimp or my Chimichurri Steak Recipe Phase 3. It’s absolutely delicious and will help keep you stabilizing through HCG Phase 3 and maintaining your weight.
