What’s a lighter alternative to mashed potatoes?
Mashed sides, but lighter:
Replace mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower, mashed sweet potatoes, or pureed butternut squash. These alternatives provide a similar texture with fewer carbs and more nutrients. Mashed cauliflower has become a popular low-carb side in the USA, offering a creamy, savory dish with a fraction of the calories. Sweet potatoes add fiber and vitamin A, making them a nutritious choice.
