Low carb polenta

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats and is often more affordable.

cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free and adds a cheesy flavor.

broth

🥗Healthier: vegetable stock

💰Cheaper: water

Vegetable stock enhances flavor without animal products.

mushrooms

🥗Healthier: zucchini

💰Cheaper: canned mushrooms

Zucchini is lower in calories and can be more cost-effective.

In a saucepan add your butter, cream and chicken broth, bring to a low simmer.

Combine all dry ingredients in a bowl except for the cheese and scallions.

Once your liquid has reached a simmer whisk in your dry ingredients slowly in four sections.

Stir constantly for about 7 minutes until your polenta has started to thicken.

Next add your Parmesan cheese, continuing to whisk vigorously for about a minute.

Remove from the heat and whisk in the mozzarella cheese before garnishing with some sliced scallions.
