Mashed Potatoes Made Out Of Caiuliflower



Recommended Posts

Take a whole cauliflower head, steam it til it's mushy (20 min?). Put it in a blender, it will come out the consistency of mashed potatoes. Add salt, and I swear you can barely tell the difference between them and mashed potatoes! Helped me last night.

Oh, it's 14 cals per half cup of steamed cauliflower (not already mushed up). Keep putting half cups in until you reach your serving.

And I don't even like cauliflower. But you just can't tell the difference for the most part.

I have never eaten calliflower nor does it smell good, but this sounds good! Maybe some lowfat sour cream too! Isnt it one of the veggies that causes alot of gas?

I've never eaten cauliflower either but this DOES sound worth a try. I think I'll try steaming it in chicken broth and then adding some S&P and Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream and adds Protein. Thanks for this idea!

      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?
