Kourtney Kardashian’s Healthy ‘Comfort Food Recipe’ Is So Good It’s Breaking The Internet
Not even Kourtney Kardashian, a self-professed lover of organic produce and crowned queen of the racy swimsuit, can resist indulging every now and then.
But instead of reaching for the choccie block or polishing off a bag of Smiths like the rest of us mere mortals, her cheat-meal of choice is totally guilt-free (coz, health.)
In a recent interview with PEOPLE, the mum-of-three shared her version of the humble comfort food classic, mac and cheese. And it turns out this recipe is so g-damn delish, her whole family are converted.

“Who doesn’t love mac ‘n’ cheese?!” she quipped.
“I use all organic ingredients, gluten-free noodles and non-dairy cheese whenever possible, as my kids and I aren’t eating gluten or dairy."
To change up the traditionally decadent recipe, Kourtney incorporates simple substitutes like nut milk and vegan cheeses. She also prefers to use turkey bacon (as it contains less fat and sodium than regular pork bacon) and opts for organic ingredients wherever possible.
“I bake this on the top rack of the oven so it gets crunchy on top,” she explained. “I love the mix of flavours and textures. YUMMMMMMY!”
She suggests to use the below as a base and add in veggies for extra freshness.
Brb, gotta go wipe the drool off our faces.
