Hey Chicks,
Thanksgiving is around the corner and we want to make sure you have some healthy but super delicious options for a “Chick Approved” holiday!
Mashed potatoes are so last season! And being high in simple carbs, they don’t do much of anything for your body but add an extra layer to your hips and put you into a sugar induced sleep coma. Try this tasty mash treat that still gives you the creamy comfort of mashed potatoes but with more nutrients, less calories and healthy fats!
Cauliflower and Roasted Parsnip Mash
This mash is creamy thanks to the coconut milk, and dreamy thanks to the parsnips.
- 4-6 skinny parsnips
- Medium sized head of cauliflower
- 4 tablespoons of coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil
Peel and cut parsnips into small strips. Toss in olive oil. Lay on a baking sheet and roast at 400°F for 20 minutes.
Cut cauliflower into florets and steam until tender.
Combine parsnips, cauliflower, and coconut milk in a food processor and blend until smooth. You can add more or less coconut milk until you achieve your desired consistency.
Don’t like coconut milk? Use almond milk!
Don’t like parsnips? Sub for turnip, butternut squash sweet potatoes or even 1/2 cauliflower & 1/2 potato if you MUST have the taters…but make sure to keep the cauliflower!
Try this delicious side dish this Thanksgiving Day…your peeps will love it!
Happy Thanksgiving!
