Are you looking for a creative way to eat more vegetables or are you looking for a way to use up that cauliflower in your crisper drawer? Healthy Low Calorie Cauliflower Mash is your solution to eating more veggies. As a bonus this recipe has a kick of protein from the cottage cheese. The fiber from the cauliflower, the protein from the cottage cheese, and the fat from the parmesan cheese, means eating this dish will help to make you feel full and satisfied. Cauliflower is also an excellent source of antioxidants which reduce inflammation in your body.

Bonus Alert: This is a one-pot dish! Easy-peasy-one-two-cheesy.

*I love using this Kyocera Ceramic Knife to easily cut the head of cauliflower into florets. Using an immersion blender is amazing because you can blend everything in the pot you just made the cauliflower mash in. It results in way less dishes and the immersion blender is extremely easy to clean.
