21 Day Fix Broccoli Mac & Cheese (AKA the perfect Mac & Cheese)

This 21 Day Fix Broccoli Mac & Cheese is healthy, loaded with veggie goodness, super-creamy, cheesy and filling, and dare I say it? It’s the Perfect Mac & Cheese!This 21 Day Fix mac and cheese is healthy, loaded with veggie goodness, super-creamy, cheesy and filling, and dare I say it? The Perfect Mac & Cheese!

So… do you love me yet? 🙂

Well, wait until you try this Mac & Cheese. This is the stuff that dreams are made of. No, seriously. I’ve had this dream. You know, the one where I unlock the secret to the perfect Mac & Cheese. Cheesy, creamy, velvety Mac & Cheese. I’m not even talking about the perfect healthy Mac & Cheese. I’m talking I’m never making another Mac & Cheese recipe again ever.

First, I’d like to have a moment of silence for all of the mac & cheese recipes that I’ve made over the years in search of that “perfect” one…

Ok, now… There was the one with the roux – actually many variations of the one with the roux (which all came out slightly grainy). There was the one with the velveeta (a flavor that I liked as a child, but as a grown-up, just tastes super-fake). There was the one with the cream cheese (which tasted kind of weird). That one that used the eggs (the eggs separated as they cooked and it was… gross). Oh, and the one that I tried out on the same day that I made this one that had blended cottage cheese in it (not bad, but definitely not perfect either). This is just an off-the-top-of-my-head account, I’m certain there have been many more. Like many of you, I’ve been looking for the perfect mac for a long, long time.

I had been thinking about working on a 21 Day Fix Mac & Cheese for a little while now, but lately I’ve seen a ton of people in search of one so I set out to make it happen. I’m here for ya, peeps! I had two ideas to test out. One that included blended cottage cheese and greek yogurt – cottage cheese is cheese after all and I’ve had yogurt in Mac & Cheese before and I really liked it, so I was pretty sure that it was going to be my winner. The other was to make a sauce that had a cauliflower puree base. I have to tell you, I was skeptical about this one, but after using cauliflower puree in my freaking fantastic Individual Potato Gratins I wanted to give it a shot. I added some chopped cooked broccoli to both of them to get some veggies in and bulk them up a bit.

This 21 Day Fix mac and cheese is healthy, loaded with veggie goodness, super-creamy, cheesy and filling, and dare I say it? The Perfect Mac & Cheese!

So my daughter and I set to work, made and ate them side by side and I have to say, there was a clear winner. The one with the cottage cheese was really good. We both liked it. It was cheesy and tasty, but it had nothing on the cauliflower version. NUH-THING. One bite of it and we both looked at each other like “are you freaking kidding me?!” It’s all about the texture, people! That velvety smooth cauliflower puree really adds something special to this 21 Day Fix Broccoli Mac & Cheese. It just feels and tastes cheesier. My kids couldn’t get enough of this one – and let me tell you, my youngest is pretty hard to please! I have a feeling we’re going to be making this a lot.

Ok, so, we’ve already made this a lot 🙂

Here’s how to make it!

Enjoy <3

21 Day Fix Broccoli Mac & Cheese

21 Day Fix Broccoli Mac & Cheese
Author: Stephanie
Yield: 8 servings
21 Day Fix Broccoli Mac & Cheese
Print

Ingredients

    For the mac & cheese:
  • 6 cups cooked whole wheat elbow macaroni (about 3 cups dry)
  • 4 cups frozen broccoli florets, cooked and chopped smaller if they're in large pieces (a 16 oz bag ought'a do ya)
  • 1 1/3 cup shredded Monterey jack cheese
  • 1 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/8 - 1/4 tsp salt
    For the cauliflower puree:
  • 4 cups roughly chopped fresh or frozen cauliflower
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth (1 1/4 cups for Instant Pot)

Instructions

    Instant Pot Directions:
  1. Note: you can either cook your broccoli in the microwave or in your Instant Pot ( in a steamer basket with a cup of water underneath, manual, zero minutes) beforehand.
  2. To your Instant Pot liner add you dry pasta and 3 1/2 cups water. Place a steamer basket on top of everything and put 16 oz (or 4 cups) of cauliflower in the steamer basket. Put lid on and cook on manual for 3 minutes with a quick release afterwards.
  3. Remove the cauliflower and put it in a blender with 1 1/4 cups broth and puree.
  4. Return the cauliflower mixture to the pot, stir in the cheeses, salt and pepper. Check seasonings and then stir in the cooked broccoli florets and serve!
    Stove Top Directions:
  1. Heat a pot of water on the stove to boiling. Lightly salt, then cook your pasta.
  2. While your pasta is cooking, steam your cauliflower - I have a steamer basket that I put over a pot of water on the stove, but you could also put the cauliflower in a microwave safe lidded container (I use a glass one if I'm doing this), put a few tbs of water in the bottom, cover and cook in the microwave for 5-7 minutes or so. Once that's done, put it in a blender with the 1/2 cup of chicken broth and blend until it's very smooth. Should only take a minute or two.
  3. Once you've drained your pasta, put it back in the pot it just cooked in on the LOWEST heat setting, add the cauliflower puree, the cheeses, the broccoli and 1/8 tsp salt and stir until everything is heated through and the cheeses have melted. Taste it, if you feel like it needs that extra 1/8 tsp of salt then add it in and serve!

      Yep, the serving size for this is 1 1/4 cups, which you’ll then count as 1 1/2 yellows, 1 blue and 1/2 green 🙂

    This might be a stupid question, but I am new to the 21 day fix program. My question is, when you are making a recipie like this, how do you know how much of the containers to count it as? Any suggestions would be helpful. Some of it makes sense but not all of it.

      Congrats on starting the 21 Day Fix, Kathy! It’s not a stupid question, casseroles like this can be confusing. Basically you’re adding up the containers for each ingredient and then dividing by the number of servings. For example, this recipe calls for 6 cups of cooked pasta. 6 cups = 12 yellows. Since there are 8 servings, that equals out to 1 1/2 yellows per serving. I hope that makes sense. Then I would go on to the next ingredient, then the next, etc. – Btw, I figured out the measurements of the containers by pouring water into them and measuring the water. I’m not allowed to share this information, but it’s something that you can do at home.
      I use standard measurements on the blog so that anyone can use the recipes, and then figure out the container equivalents for us fixers. 🙂 If you’re still having questions about this, please feel free to message me (under “contact me” in the menu) and I’ll be happy to personally chat with you and help clarify this or any other questions you may have. Good luck!

    Run, don’t walk, to your kitchen and make this mac and cheese recipe right now! (I’m serious. Children and small animals will instinctively move out of the way when they see the look in your eyes.) As a brand newish Fixer involved in a lifelong love affair with a variety of fake cheeses (Cheetos, anyone?), I was doubtful that a recipe containing cauliflower puree could ever stand up to my beloved shells and cheese. Boy, was I wrong. This one is definitely going into the regular rotation!

    So, I made this last night. It was fine, but not as creamy as I wanted. No matter what I do, I simply can not get cauliflower puree to be smooth. I used my Ninja and then tried again with my immersion stick blender. The final product was still grainy. Any thoughts?

      Oh, bummer! Is it possible that the cauliflower didn’t cook long enough? It has to be super-soft, falling apart. I’ve had something similar happen to me when I was making mashed cauliflower… it came out kind of gritty and I figured out that that was why. I’m not using a high-powered blender or anything, just a regular Oster and as long as I cook the cauliflower long enough it always comes out really smooth. We’ve even used the mixture to make a cauliflower soup and it worked out really well. I hope that helps!

      Quinoa pasta is a much better alternative than whole wheat or whole grain the only problem is that fact it is a protein

      October 5, 2015 at 6:09 pm

      Hi Caitlyn! Yes, once the broccoli cooks down, you end up with around 4 cups veggies total (including the cauliflower puree, which is partially chicken broth), so when you divide that into 8 servings, it’s 1/2 green per serving. You may end up with a little less or a little more depending on how your veggies cook, but that was how it worked out for me both times that I tested and measured everything for this recipe.

      Hi CJ! I always have some of the cauliflower sauce leftover when I use four cups anyway, so I think three would be ok. You may have a little less sauce than normal, but it shouldn’t be a big deal. I would still make it (and wouldn’t bother picking up more cauliflower either) if it were me 🙂

    I am day 1 post-21 day fix challenge and was looking for a casserole-type thing to use up leftover turkey. This was perfect, plus I added some red pepper. I didn’t get what the purpose of the cauliflower puree was until I mixed it altogether and got it – a creamier texture without actual cream or more cheese. The boyfriend said it was GREAT (he had no idea I used the cauliflower puree).

    The only adjustments I made were I used about 1/3 of the cooked macaroni (seriously, six cups of mac is A TON) and divided cheese in two portions: 2 cups and then 2/3. After everything cooked up together in the stove top, I poured it into a casserole dish and cooked it at 355 for 15 minutes, topping it with the remaining 2/3 of cheese. It gave it a pretty good appearance that it was nothing but cheesy goodness!

    Next question… would cauliflower rice work in this recipe? The chopping and steaming was just kind of a drag to get that much out of it… I’ll do it! But I was just curious since I have some on hand!

    I do not have any chicken broth do you think it will work with just water to make the puree??

    WOW! I made this tonight for dinner. The cauliflower puree made this dish SO creamy. It was wonderful and my kids didn’t even notice it had cauliflower in it. I did add one teaspoon of dijon mustard and 2 gloves of minced garlic. I made this into a casserole by adding diced chicken and some diced tomato.. Really was a fantastic meal. Thank you. I have found so many wonderful recipes with cauliflower and am pleased every time.

      Yay!! I’m so glad your family enjoyed it and your additions sound delicious! Cauliflower is serious magic, isn’t it! I just used some to make hollandaise recently and it was amazing!

    A surprise hit for us! I have to say I was very skeptical about this recipe. I have a go-to mac and cheese recipe that is not 21 day fix friendly and involves a roux and a bunch of fancy cheeses. This one was better! Itwas delicious, filling, and my kids gobbled it up! Everyone (except me) had second helpings. My 9 year old declared this “better than the box”. Thanks for the recipe. I will definitely be making it again.

      Ah! This made my day! I don’t know if you read the post, but I felt the same way, I was so surprised at how much I loved this one 🙂 And “Better than the box” is SO freaking awesome coming from a kiddo!! Thank you so much for letting me know!
