Looking for new ways to sneak veggies into your meals? Or maybe you’re hoping to lower your carb intake but are missing some of those high-carb foods. We love using cauliflower as a low-carb substitute for starchy, high-carb foods like potatoes and rice.
Try this Cauli Mash to replace traditional mashed potatoes that are usually loaded with cream and butter. It’s a great option for those of you trying to lose weight because you can still enjoy the kinds of foods you love and crave while still losing weight. You may never eat mashed potatoes again!
Here’s what you’ll need:
1 medium head cauliflower
3 green onions
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup vegetable broth
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup plain non-fat Greek yogurt
Directions:
- Steam cauliflower with garlic, onions, and vegetable broth in a covered microwave safe bowl for 8-10 minutes, or until soft
- Add remaining seasoning and yogurt
- Blend in food processor or blender until smooth
