Directions
Step 1
Begin by placing the cauliflower rice into a medium saucepan.
Step 2
Add the unsweetened almond milk to the pan with the cauliflower rice.
Step 3
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Add the vanilla extract, sweetener of your choice, pinch of salt, and cinnamon to the porridge, stirring thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
