Creamy Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a comforting twist on classic mac 'n cheese using tender cauliflower florets in place of pasta. This dish features a rich, creamy cheddar sauce enhanced with a touch of Greek yogurt and a boost of protein from unflavored whey, delivering a hearty yet lighter meal perfect for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
300g Cauliflower
2 oz Sharp Cheddar, grated
1/2 cup Unsweetened Almond Milk
1/4 cup Non-Fat Greek Yogurt
1 scoop Unflavored Whey Protein Powder
1 tbsp Butter
1 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F for a slight roast if desired, or prepare a pot for stovetop steaming.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam or roast until tender (about 10-15 minutes).
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, then stir in the garlic powder and toast briefly.
Reduce heat and mix in the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and whey protein powder until fully blended.
Add the cheddar cheese gradually, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine the cooked cauliflower with the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated.
For an optional crispy finish, transfer the mixture to a baking dish, sprinkle additional cheddar on top, and broil for 3-5 minutes until golden.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed, creamy twist on mac 'n cheese!
