INGREDIENTS
2.5 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 250g)
0.5 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (approx. 120g)
0.5 cup lowfat cottage cheese (approx. 113g)
1 ounce shredded sharp cheddar cheese (approx. 28g)
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
While the cauliflower is steaming, in a bowl combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, lowfat cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.
Lightly mash the steamed cauliflower with a fork or blend it slightly for a smoother texture, leaving some florets intact for bite.
Mix the mashed cauliflower into the cheese and yogurt blend, and then gently fold in the shredded sharp cheddar.
Transfer the mixture to an ovenproof dish and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the top is slightly bubbly and the cheese has melted.
Remove from oven, let cool slightly, and enjoy your protein-packed, comforting cauliflower mac.
