A Healthy Hack for Boxed Mac n Cheese

  • Author: Homemaker's Habitat

Description

Two super sneaky EASY ways to boost the nutrition in your kid’s favorite boxed Mac and Cheese!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Box of Macaroni and Cheese (I recommend Annie’s Organic Bernie’s Farm Whole Grain Variety)
  • 1 cup frozen riced cauliflower
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 12 tablespoons of milk, as needed

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan set over high heat.
  2. When water boils, add macaroni noodles and cauliflower. Cook according to package directions and drain noodles in a mesh colander (so the cauliflower doesn’t drain away).
  3. Pour cheese sauce into saucepan. Add Greek yogurt and 1 tablespoon of milk and stir until the mixture is a smooth, saucy consistency. If too thick, add more milk.
  4. Add pasta back into pot and stir until cheese is evenly distributed. Serve immediately.
