Safe Mac n Cheese Low carb Version

190 g cauliflower (~44 cal, 8 g net carbs)

½ cup milk (~74 cal, 6 g net carbs) – you can use unsweetened almond milk to reduce carbs further (~1–2 g net carbs)

2 tbsp nutritional yeast flakes (~22 cal, 2 g net carbs)

¼ tsp garlic powder (~0.5 g net carbs)

¾ tsp onion powder (~1 g net carbs)

¼ tsp Dijon mustard (~0.3 g net carbs)

½ tsp salt

Optional: ⅛ tsp xanthan gum or ½ tsp glucomannan powder for thickening (0 g carbs)

Fresh chives and cracked black pepper to taste

Steam the cauliflower until soft and “noodly.”
In a small saucepan, combine the milk, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, and salt.
Heat over medium, whisking until warm. If using xanthan gum or glucomannan, sprinkle it in slowly while whisking—it will thicken quickly.
Mix the steamed cauliflower into the sauce. Blend lightly with a fork or immersion blender if you want it smoother.
Top with fresh chives and cracked black pepper.
