INGREDIENTS
2 cups cauliflower florets (200g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (56g)
1/2 cup nonfat cottage cheese (113g)
1/4 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (60g)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes, then drain well.
In a blender or food processor, combine the steamed cauliflower, nonfat cottage cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, and garlic powder. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and black pepper according to taste.
Pour the blended mixture into an oven-safe baking dish and sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve hot and enjoy this protein-packed, comforting twist on mac and cheese.
