Creamy five minute cauliflower mac and cheese is you (and your kids) new favorite dinner recipe! Packed with veggies, nutrients and flavor, this upgraded macaroni and cheese is sure to satisfy your comfort food cravings! This blog post was created in partnership with Luvo, but all opinions are my own!
Y’all have heard me say it over and over again, but I absolutely LOVE frozen food.
They’re packed with the same (if not more) nutrients than fresh veggies/fruits and super convenient. You can read more about the benefits of frozen foods in this post: 15 Clever Ways to Eat Healthy on a Budget.
Michael and I are always working late and running around like crazy people, so we’ve loved finding new foods and brands to try that offer frozen meals.
Some of our favorite go-to frozen foods consist of: frozen fruits, veggies, black bean burgers, turkey burgers, smoothies, chicken curries and cauli rice.
A lot of people think since I’m a food blogger, all we do is sit around and eat glamorous meals… WRONG.
When you cook all day for work, you really don’t feel like cooking when it comes dinner time!
ENTER: LUVO MEALS & THIS CREAMY FIVE MINUTE CAULIFLOWER MAC + CHEESE
Since you all know i’m SUPER into modifying recipes (see: 7 Ways to Step Up Your Banana Bread, How to Eat Healthy at Any Restaurant, My Top Nutrition Tips blog post, + recipes like this, this + this) this meal was no different. I took this five minute cauliflower mac and cheese from Luvo and simply threw in a little extra love to doctor it up… and trick michael into thinking I slaved away in the kitchen all day 😉
The result…. the creamiest mac and cheese EVER. Plus it was jam-packed with nutrients so it was definitely a win-win.
PEEP THE NUTRITION FACTS:
[ Good Source of Fiber | Low Sugar | High Protein | Gluten Free | Nut Free | Vegetarian ]
& when you add in the spinach, nooch + pepper you get an additional 6 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber + tons of vitamins!
If you follow me on instagram.. you may have already seen this post where I share a rough version of how I made this recipe.
I wanted to a do a full break-down for you all since it was such a popular post + I got lots of DMs on how to make it!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- Luvo’s Frozen Cauliflower Mac & Cheese
- Spinach
- Red Bell Pepper (You can also add roasted red peppers like these which are SO GOOD)
- Cooking Oil of Choice (I used EVOO)
- Coconut Milk
- Nutritional Yeast – (Read about all of the Benefits of Nutritional Yeast)
- EBTB Seasoning Optional
andddd that’s it!
OH & YOU’LL ALSO NEED
- Skillet
- Microwave
literally who doesn’t have a skillet and a microwave..? HA.
I was so impressed with how the mac and cheese came out before adding anything that I seriously debated spending time sauteeing the veggies. If you have some roasted bell peppers, those would be super delicious to add, too!
Maybe it’s just me, but I feel so much better when I can spot some veggies in my meal. So I went for it.
You better believe this recipe is going to be on repeat in the Moye house (apartment)! Recipe dEATs below!
