Cauliflower mac and cheese is one of my all-time favorites!  What sets this recipe apart from all the other Keto Cauliflower mac and cheese recipes? It has powdered cheese that will take you right back to how mac and cheese tasted when you were a kid, but healthier! I use Hoosier Farm Cheddar Cheese Powder, it is the closest match to that original cheese powder you knew as a kid.

The health benefits of cauliflower may include a reduced risk of cancer, heart and brain disorders, relief from indigestion, supporting liver health, increased iron absorption, and weight loss. This superfood may also help boost eye health, maintain hormonal balance, and can prevent diabetes, colitis, respiratory papillomatosis, hypertension, and the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation. It’s known to be packed with nutrients and antioxidant power which can help in strengthening the immune system, maintaining bone and cellular health, electrolyte balance, and optimum cholesterol levels.

Additionally, it’s weight loss-friendly and incredibly easy to add to your diet.
