Weight Watchers Creamy Mushroom Cauliflower Risotto

Updated with WW Personal Points on 11/16/21

Want another way to use 0 SmartPoint Riced Cauliflower?  Try this Weight Watchers Creamy Mushroom Cauliflower Risotto.

This healthy risotto recipe came about one night when I was out of my 0 SmartPoint Freezer Friendly Slow Cooker Italian Meat Gravy.  And, I wasn’t in the mood to enjoy my usual zoodles without this meaty 0 SmartPoint sauce. So I got creative with my almost-full quart of fresh riced cauliflower and this beauty was born.

Usually risotto is laden with heavy cream, butter, and loads of cheese. But this Weight Watchers Creamy Mushroom Cauliflower Risotto recipe is just as creamy and indulgently delicious without all the extra fat. It’s also much healthier and super low in SmartPoints. Yay!
