Mashed Cauliflower Recipe: A Healthier Mashed Potatoes?
By Dr. Josh Axe
November 22, 2021
Whenever you're preparing a meal in which mashed potatoes would make a good pairing, consider making a healthier substitute instead: mashed cauliflower, or as I like to call them, mashed caul-tatoes!
Simply, it's mashed cooked cauliflower but when made with some ghee or butter, salt and pepper, and a little parsley? Yum! Then add some Multi Collagen Protein, Collagen Peptides or Bone Broth Protein for some added protein plus gut, skin and joint benefits.
This mashed cauliflower recipe has a great nutrient profile, too, with only 5 net carbs (8 grams of carbohydrates and 3 grams of fiber), 12 grams of performance fats and 8 grams of protein per serving. Plus one serving offers 100% Daily Value for vitamin C.
It'll be a hit at your table, trust me!
How to Make Mashed Cauliflower
This "cauliflower mashed potatoes" is one of the easier side dishes you'll ever make. First, take a medium-sized head of fresh cauliflower and slice it into florets while removing most of the core.
Place the florets in a steamer basket and steam for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, melt the ghee in a small pan over low heat. Use unsalted butter if you don't have ghee, but ghee will impart a better flavor.
Next, in a food processor or high-power blender, add the cauliflower, protein powder, ghee, salt and pepper. Process until smooth.
Serve immediately, topping with parsley.

Even if you employ a daily skincare routine, many of us get frustrated with the results.

With loads of serums, moisturizers and beauty routines (such as the new trend called skin cycling) available, it’s difficult to know what really hydrates skin versus what’s a waste of your money and time.
