A cruciferous vegetable that we trick ourselves into thinking is a starch? Wahoo!
Mashed cauliflower has come a looooong way since the early ’00s Sugar Busters Diet.
This cauliflower mash is as good as full-fat mashed potatoes, but here’s why it’s a suppertime side dish gamechanger as far as healthful benefits:
Greek yogurt is the “sour cream” that adds a little protein and probiotics for gut health with other nutrients.
The buttery taste is avocado oil—and that’s a guilt-free good fat!
Cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower help support detoxification pathways to the liver! Plus there’s skin-loving Vitamin C and may be a cancer preventer.
There’s still cheese! Parmesan is a good source of Calcium and other vitamins such as B12.
And you know what pairs beautifully with salty Parm, right?
Napa Cabernet. Perfection.
Cheers!
