Mashed Cauliflower (yum yum YUM!)

I had been planning on making this for a few weeks and finally got around to trying it out, and boy am I glad I did!! It was simple, healthy, and surprisingly mashed potato like. I found that after it cooled a bit (about ten minutes) the texture was closer to mashed potatoes and a definite keeper of a recipe, especially considering the nutritional information.
I began by pulling apart the cauliflower and steaming it for ~13 minutes. Once cooked, I put the cauliflower in the Vitamix and added the garlic, almond milk, salt, and pepper. I blended on level 6/7 for about a minute using the tamper to combine all of the ingredients then put in a plastic container as I plan to use this for lunches this week (although I keep going back for a another 'taste', so time will tell how much I have left for lunches!
