This is another spin on my cauliflower no-oats porridge.  Honestly, don’t knock it till you’ve tried it — my family and taste-testers didn’t know it was cauliflower until I told them.  Sooooo good!!

In addition to being super tasty, this gut-healthy brekkie is packed with antioxidants, fibre, healthy fats, and protein for a complete and satisfying meal.

Cauliflower Power

Cauliflower is one of my favourite veggies.  It is incredibly versatile and rich in vitamins & minerals, fibre, and disease-fighting glucosinolates, phenols and other powerful phytochemicals.  

Cruciferous vegetables — a family that also includes broccoli, kale and brussel sprouts — have been getting a lot of attention of late.  Studies suggest that these nutritional powerhouses may have a role in preventing chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, Alzheimer's, and even certain cancers.

Golden Milk Cauli-Noats Recipe

Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 cup riced cauliflower

  • 1 can (1 1/2 cups) organic coconut milk (I like to use full-fat)

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened desiccated coconut

  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds or ground tiger nuts

  • 2 Tbsp Further Food collagen (omit for vegan)

  • 2 Tbsp Nuzest Clean Lean Smooth Vanilla or Just Natural protein powder

  • 1 Tbsp Plant Burst or Organika maca powder (optional)

  • 1/2 tsp Further Food Turmeric Tonic (or use 1/2 tsp ground turmeric plus 1/8 tsp cardamom plus 1/8 tsp black pepper)*

  • 1/2 tsp ground Ceylon cinnamon (optional)

  • 1/4 cup gluten-free flaxseed meal

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

  • Lakanto sugar-free monk fruit sweetener, pure stevia, raw honey (non-vegan) or maple syrup, adjusted to taste

  • optional toppings: berries, nuts or seeds, nut/seed butter, raw cacao nibs or diced cacao bar, granola, unsweetened toasted coconut flakes, bee pollen, maple syrup, nondairy milk, or toppings of choice

*Note: Black pepper enhances the bioavailability of curcumin, the active anti-inflammatory compound in turmeric.

Directions:

  1. Put a medium saucepan over medium heat.

  2. Add the cauliflower, coconut milk, desiccated coconut, and chia seeds or tiger nuts, and stir to combine.

  3. Bring to a gentle boil then reduce heat to low.

  4. Simmer for approximately 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. Add collagen, protein powder, maca, Turmeric Tonic, and flax.

  6. Continue cooking for another 5 minutes or until porridge reaches desired consistency, stirring occasionally. Add additional non-dairy milk if thinner consistency preferred.

  7. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Sweeten to taste.

Serve immediately with your favourite toppings or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold or reheat before serving.
