How to make Vegan Mac and Cheese in a Vitamix Blender | Recipe Video

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.

Boil 600 grams of potato for a few minutes to make it easier to digest; set aside while still warm.

In a Vitamix blender, add 1/4 onion, 1 garlic clove (skin on), 1 carrot (with end left on), 1/3 cup nutritional yeast, 1/4 cup raw cashews, 1 stock cube, and 200 ml water.

Blend the mixture for about 2 minutes using manual settings until smooth and creamy; if the potato is cool, blend for 4-5 minutes to heat it up.

Check the consistency and temperature; the mixture should be steamy and have a beautiful color.

Serve the cashew cheese sauce with raw zucchini macaroni and vegan coconut bacon.
