Coconut Cauliflower Mash

If you like mashed potatoes but worry about the high-carb content, worry no longer. Mashed cauliflower tastes just like mashed potato but has far fewer calories and packs a bigger nutrient punch. In this recipe, I’ve included a crunchy twist to mashed potatoes by adding cashews.

Ingredients
Cauliflower, (rough chopped) 3 cups
Cashews (crushed) ¼ cup
Coconut milk ¼ cup
Salt 1 pinch
Pepper 1 pinch
Cinnamon 1 pinch

Instructions
Add all the ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. 
Reduce heat to low and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Simmer for 15 minutes and then remove from heat. 
Purée in a blender or food processor until smooth. 
Add 1 tablespoon of water at a time if necessary to get the mixture moving. 
Serves 1 large or 2 small.

Variations and Options
For additional flavoring, try adding your favorite herbs to the mash. Paprika, safflower, or coriander are awesome spices to try in this recipe. If you don’t have a food processor, you can mash with a fork.
