This is my go-to comfort food in the Fall! It feels so naughty but it’s not. It is a must try this week!
They are “whipped potatoes” and no where in this recipe will you find potatoes! Instead we will be using cauliflower!
We choose this due to the many health benefits of cruciferous vegetables (phytonutrients and vitamin C). Choosing cauliflower over potatoes will keep your blood sugars regular and insulin levels normal. Aside from all these wonderful health benefits these are delicious! You will be addicted!
Ingredients:
- 1 large head cauliflower
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/3 cup fresh herbs (chives and basil both work particularly well)
- Sea Salt
- Fresh Ground Pepper
- ½ Cup Onion
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
Directions:
- 1. Chop cauliflower into smaller chunks – about bite-size pieces works well.
- 2. Peel garlic cloves and cut in half, lengthwise. Chop onion into slices.
- 3. Steam cauliflower, garlic and onion for 15 minutes, or until cauliflower and garlic are tender enough for a fork to easily pass through.
- 4. Combine steamed cauliflower, garlic, onion, olive oil, fresh herbs, pepper, and sea salt in a food processor and blend until everything comes together into a mashed potato-like consistency. I like mine whipped.
- Top with a little pepper for looks and enjoy your guilt free whipped potatoes.
Wow I love these! In fact, I made them for my whole family and they liked them as much a regular potatoes…. So needless to say, we have a new substitution in the Harris family. 🙂 I am so happy I am raising my daughters to be healthy, active girls! Have a great week, ~~HUGS~~ CHristina

Got introduced to mashed cauliflower about 6 months ago…if you haven’t tried this, stop what your’e doing and make it! A great way to get kids to eat their veggies in a wonderfully delicious disguise 🙂
Hi Lori!
So true! Enjoy!

Hi Amy, I have a quick question..could this be counted as our vegetable on the bikini program, for either meal 3 or 5??Thanks
Hey Bianca! Yes!! Is sure can for either.
Hope you are having a great day!
Ok thanks,,also one more ?…would we use the same portion size, so for meal 3, veg is 2 cups? or is the portion size different for these?? Thanks Amy:):)
Hey Bianca! PLease send your program questions to your coach email so I can get back to you! Have a great day!
my inner science geek can’t help but mention that cauliflower is a cruciferous veggie, not a coniferous one 😉
with that said, I will definitely be making up a batch of this! I love mashed potatoes, but I never eat them because they are so high in calories!
