Side Dish: Coconut Cauliflower Mash

Miss mash potatoes?
Give this cauliflower mash a try; tastes just like mashed potatoes.
Here is a cool twist on the mash.

3 cups cauliflower
1/4 cup cashews crushed up
1/4 cup coconut milk
Pinch of
salt, pepper, cinnamon

BOOSTER = add some protein on the side to help balance out this meal :-)

- add all ingredients into a pot and bring to boil.
- reduce the heat and simmer for 12-15min
- drain and save a little of the water, you might need it for later when mixing it up
- Get out the boat motor and blend up (oh fancy word "Puree" untill smooth)
Calories = Large / Small (serves 1 large and 2 small)
