Garlic Mashed “Potatoes”

Dr. Trevor Cates
Mashed potatoes are a delicious addition to the traditional holiday menu. Still, they cause a spike in blood sugar, followed by a crash, and contribute to the dreaded Thanksgiving Food Coma. This creamy mashed garlic cauliflower recipe is utterly delicious (and if you can believe it) and better than mashed potatoes!
