Wash and cut the broccoli into small florets. Peel and cube the Yukon Gold potatoes into small, even pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and potatoes to the pot and cook until both are tender, about 12-15 minutes.
While the vegetables are cooking, peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
Drain the broccoli and potatoes in a colander, then return them to the pot and leave it on low heat to remove excess moisture.
Add the minced garlic, low-fat Greek yogurt, and unsweetened almond milk to the pot.
Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the broccoli and potatoes together until you achieve a creamy, smooth consistency.
Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Chop the fresh parsley and gently fold it into the mash.
Serve the low-fat creamy broccoli mash hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
