How to Make the Ideal Protein Approved Christmas Cauliflower Mash
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower, cut into florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup Ideal Protein chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup Ideal Protein vegetable chili mix
- 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or other approved milk substitute)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped chives for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender. You can do this by placing them in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 10-15 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave them with a little water in a covered microwave-safe dish for 5-7 minutes.
- While the cauliflower is cooking, heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, sautéed garlic, Ideal Protein chicken or vegetable broth, Ideal Protein vegetable chili mix, unsweetened almond milk, salt, and pepper.
- Blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor a couple of times to ensure even blending.
- Taste the cauliflower mash and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Transfer the cauliflower mash to a serving dish. If desired, garnish with chopped chives for a pop of color and extra flavor.
- Serve the Ideal Protein approved Christmas cauliflower mash as a healthy and delicious side dish to complement your holiday meal at Revivify Lean Clinic.
This cauliflower mash is a fantastic alternative to traditional mashed potatoes. It’s creamy, flavorful, and suitable for your Ideal Protein program, allowing you to enjoy the holiday festivities while staying on track with your health and wellness goals.
