5:2 DIET CAULIFLOWER/BROCCOLI CHEESE BAKE - vegan

I cannot believe just how easy and tasty this was - why have I not made it before?

I made this for a  non-fasting day (NFD) - but it turns out to have very few calories at all, so it's perfect for either a FD or a NFD!

Cauliflower and broccoli cheese bake 

(Serves 2)

Half a head of cauliflower, in florets - 90

Couple of florets of broccoli - 31

100g onion, chopped - 31

100g celery, chopped - 8

Cheese sauce:

2 dessertspoons Free and Easy cheese sauce powder 78 cals

2 dessertspoon nooch - 40

1 teaspoon bouillon powder - 12

1 teaspoon curry powder – 5

1 teaspoon garlic powder – 5

100g soy cream - 190

200g water

Method:

Divide the cauli and broccoli into florets and lightly simmer in a little water, along with the onion and celery.

Meanwhile make the cheese sauce:

Mix the dry ingredients in a small saucepan, then add the water and soya cream. Place over a little heat and stir continuously until the mixture thickens.

Place the tender vegetables in a shallow baking dish and cover with the cheese sauce.

Bake at 200C for 20-25 minutes.

Total calories 524 - so 262 cals per portion

I had this with 85g of homemade bread - 215 calories, so the total is still under 500 calories. If I was to have this on a FD I would have it with a small baked potato - 100g would be 72 cals.
