When I decided to stop eating dairy, Mac and Cheese was one of the foods I missed the most. I mean honestly, who doesn’t love a warm bowl of creamy, cheesy, satisfying, mac and cheese? I searched the internet to try and find an alternative that omitted dairy. Unfortunately, most of them contained cashews (I’m allergic). As my search continued, I found lots of recipes that looked good, but contained an ingredient or two that I didn’t want to include. Finally, I decided to create my own recipe!
Creamy Vegan Mac And Cheese
My ideal mac and cheese had to be: Apex launcher pro license key crack.
- Dairy Free
- Nut free
- Gluten Free
- Sugar free
- Fat free
I have been wanting to make Fat Free Vegan’s Easy Macaroni and Cheeze for a long time. I finally got to the bulk store and remembered to buy nutritional yeast.I have been looking forward to trying nutritional yeast ever since I heard about its’ nutritional benefits and cheese and nutty-like taste! I grew up eating mac & cheese. I pretty much lived off of it! During prep, I have to get creative with my macros. Unfortunately, Vegan Mac & Cheese recipes are usually very high in fat and lacking in protein so I decided to make a macro-friendly version. For this recipe, you will need high-protein bean, lentil, or chickpea pasta. I personally like to use the Trader Joes red lentil pasta. Thanks for leaving a comment! They really mean a lot to me!!Remember you can follow me on Instagram at Instagram.com/Plantifulkiki for more food a.
WOW… I’ve got a lot of requirements!!!
After a few tweaks, I finally created a sauce that I am not only satisfied with, but that I have been putting on EVERYTHING. Business objects user manual.

Notes
This sauce is creamy, cheesy, and delicious. I will admit, it doesn’t taste like mac and cheese that comes from a box, but it absolutely satisfies the craving and tastes great!
My “aunt in law” has been making some of my recipes with her son, and I realized that this recipe is totally kid friendly! I think it would be fun for a child to chop all of the ingredients, and watch the sauce turn color as it blends!
