Rubio’s Adds Cauliflower Rice
With health benefits, fewer calories and carbs compared to rice, Cauli Rice, is available for an additional $2 as a substitute for rice in any of Rubio’s bowls and burritos. It can also be ordered as a side with any entrée or kids meal.
“Rubio’s guests are incredibly food savvy and appreciate being able to order meals customized to their wellness goals,” said Rubio’s Co-Founder Ralph Rubio. “When Cauli Rice is substituted in place of rice in our California Bowl, the Cauli Rice is just 130 calories with 7 net carbs per serving. It’s an easy swap that tastes delicious with great health benefits.”

Cauli rice is a functional and nutrient-dense food that contains antioxidants, such as Vitamin A and C, fiber, potassium, and calcium.
