Mashed Cauliflower?



Recommended Posts

I've been reading about this and it actually sounds like a nice healthy substitute for mashed potatoes. Anyone tried this? Do u need a machine that whips it? Or how do you prepare them? I love cauliflower in all forms just never tried them this way!

We're having it for dinner tonight! Cook with leeks, add a little cream (substitute half and half). I use a Braun hand mixer. Through a little nutmeg. Yummy!

1 Medium head caulifl ower, cut into florets

2.5oz Light cream cheese (An alternative option is using low fat smooth ricotta cheese)

1 Clove garlic, crushed

Salt and pepper to taste

Chives, chopped

Steam cauliflower until tender.

Place in a blender or food processor with the cream

cheese, garlic and salt and pepper.

Process until smooth.

Garnish with chopped chives and cracked pepper.

If the mixture is too thick, try adding a small amount of salt reduced stock while blending.

This is a recipe I used to use on another weightloss program many years ago.

I don't know if you are "on" Pinterest but I found a recipe for Twice Baked Cauliflower and it was amazing. It was very light and oh so flavorful. PInterest has many cauliflower recipes that I want to try since bread has become a definate no-go for me. These recipes include cauliflower Pizza Crust, bread sticks, roasted cauliflower, etc...

I was just wondering about that! I bought some yesterday but was worried about the gas.

I usually roast it on broil in the oil then add olive oil and salt. So yummy? But I'm going to try the mashed potato version. Sounds great!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
