QUICK EASY VEGAN MAC AND CHEESE MAC
However, this healthy vegan mac and cheese is dairy-free, vegan, gluten-free (depending on what pasta you use), paleo (if you use zoodles instead of pasta for a paleo mac and cheese), and filled with healthy fats! And all without compromising on flavor or texture.īelieve me, I know it’s hard to give up cheese.
Traditionally, this dish is served with tons of cheese, butter, and milk. Well, this starch is what gives the dairy-free mac and cheese sauce the same, stretchy, ‘ooey-gooey’ quality of a regular cheesy sauce- like magic! I know you’re probably wondering what makes this ingredient so special. Meanwhile, the combination of cashews, nutritional yeast, and lemon juice adds that hint of cheesiness to the sauce, but without any dairy.Īnd then there is the star of this vegan sauce recipe, tapioca flour. This cashew cheese sauce is creamy from the blended nuts and packed with hidden veggies that add flavor and texture to the dish. Plus, with a special combination of ingredients, this vegan mac n cheese manages to mimic the stretchy quality of a dairy cheese sauce, while providing a ‘cheesy’ flavor too. However, I think that’s okay – if anything, I like that vegan versions often manage to taste delicious but be far healthier. Obviously, if we compare a vegan and non-vegan version of a mac and cheese side by side, they won’t taste the same. This recipe remains one of my top favorites, though. In fact, I have a bit of a soft spot for saucy pasta dishes- like this Vegan Alfredo Sauce, Roasted Red Pepper Pasta, or Garlic Butter Pasta. This dish is everything that I want in a creamy pasta dish – smooth, rich, moreish, and yet still surprisingly nutritious. That means that you certainly won’t stop me from eating a creamy, ‘cheesy,’ yet dairy-free mac and cheese!
