Looking for a low carb healthy side dish / give it a whirl!

[Switchfit]

I know one of the toughest things to do when getting into a healthy way of eating/living is finding side dishes
that are tasty and help keep us feeling full.

One of my favorites is a chickpea mash potatoes.

Basically straight forward and very easy to prepare, takes minutes, is easy, simple and easy to modify.

Step 1
-1 can chickpeas, boil for a few minutes to soften, once strained put aside in a bowl
Step 2
-chop a few cloves of garlic
-1/2 red onion chopped
*fry for a couple minutes to veggies, and put aside
Step 3
Add ingredients to a blender and blend to a nice, smooth texture adding almond milk to smooth, and sea salt and pepper to taste..

I like to chop cilantro and top with the mash when serving.

Enjoy, any modifications and changes are welcome, please share if you do!

Cauliflower mash

-take a full cauliflower, break it up and rinse in the sink
-drain and i use paper towels to get rid excess water
-fry cauliflower to soften, and add 3 cloves of grated garlic, red onion, salt and pepper to taste
-remove after a couple minutes and add to blender and add almond milk and blend

From the explanation, it looks very easy to make the chickpea mash potatoes or should I say that you were very simple and descriptive very well. I’m going to give it a shot maybe during mid week and I will give you a feedback here. If I can upload the video, I’ll too.

It looks like I have what I’m going to make this night once I’m back from work. Meals with low carb  is always more healthy to eat often. I know that I’m very well going to enjoy this once I’m done making it.
