Vegan Mac And Cheese Recipe (that is actually healthy!)

cashews

🥗Healthier: silken tofu

💰Cheaper: sunflower seeds

Silken tofu provides creaminess with lower fat.

nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: parmesan cheese

Parmesan cheese adds flavor but is not vegan.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is a more budget-friendly cooking oil.

breadcrumbs

🥗Healthier: ground oats

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Crushed crackers provide a similar texture for topping.

Soak cashews in water for a while.

Boil potato and carrot until tender; drain and set aside.

In a blender, combine soaked cashews, boiled potato, boiled carrot, sea salt, water, plant-based milk, vegetable broth, onion, garlic, nutritional yeast, and tapioca flour; blend until smooth.

Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.

Combine the pasta with the blended cheese sauce in a large mixing bowl; stir until well coated.
