THE BEST Vegan, Oil-Free, Low-Fat Cheese Sauce JUST GOT BETTER! / Plant-Based Diet

[@SolutionsWithin]

Looks good! Subbed. How much potato flakes did you put in it? I notice u didn’t show it in the video or say it. Can’t wait to try it!

[@scwheeler24]

Whaaaat? Well I’m late to the party on that PB2 cashew. It is on my grocery list

[@scrane5500]

Love this as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the BLV and estrogen in dairy. Thanks for sharing

[@valeriesorensen981]

I have been vegan almost 20 years....how do I not know about the cashew powder? Never too old to learn new things- thank you!

[@stephanies9986]

Just here to say I went to purchase the cashew powder on amazon, and it recommended the potato flakes as the first “frequently bought together” item 😁 sounds like a winning recipe! Can’t wait to try!!

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Oh that’s awesome! Yay! Hope you enjoy.

[@meman6964]

Seeing your little helper on the counter makes me smile. Miss having little people around

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Awwww she was so determined to make that cheese sauce ❤️

[@ggcruise]

TIA!!! This is SOOO good!!!!! I just made my first batch today. I cannot believe how good it is. No, it doesn't taste like (greasy, gloopy) melted cheddar, but that is a good thing. It DOES very closely resemble Kraft mac n cheese cheese sauce, only better!! I could go on and on about how delicious and umami and "light" this tastes!! It is going over gently boiled potato half moon slices tonight for a faux gratin potato dish!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@SolutionsWithin]

Omg Kraft dinner cheese!?!! Biggest thing I’ve missed as a vegan for 10 years. Will try this!!

[@justjan2576]

What was the quantity for the potato flakes please? Looks great!

[@lorie_g]

I have said it before, but worth sayin' again, "You're a genius!" This is exciting.

[@lakebabrooklyn714]

Thank you ! This taste incredible! I added roasted red peppers & a lil liquid smoke. I got the idea from Jill Mckeevers channel from her cheese recipe & for me this was perfect & the most cheese like sauce yet ! ☺️❤️

[@goaldigger1]

I had recently purchased your new 10 min or Less recipes and sauces books and thought potato flakes was a game changer but pairing with the cashew powder is brilliant. I am struggling lately to stay compliant with eating whole plant based (I'm always vegan but if work is kicking my butt as it is now, I need simple recipes or it's back to process vegan eats). Thank you for making this less complicated than it needs to be!

[@kristinlong9604]

You could turn the dry ingredients into a cheese sauce dry mix! I would totally buy that! You could come out with your own boxed Mac n cheese! 😱

[@pmgandco6322]

Dillon at Well Your World has an awesome cheese sauce powder mix. It’s great.

[@MelMeltalks31]

THAT WOULD BE AMAZINF

[@Jenekks]

@@pmgandco6322 I remembered that I happen to have that Cheese sauce powder by Dillon in my pantry and realized it's essentially the same ingredients except for the miso, broth and cashew, it makes the sauce very easy to make using that mix. I can adjust the salt and make it lower sodium by using water instead of broth and reducing the miso.

[@hortensejones4050]

Thank you! I need low sodium too

[@scwheeler24]

Excellent idea

[@blondebeauty995]

Just ordered PB2 and can’t wait to try this!

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Woohoo

[@ds7807]

Just tried the PB2 Cashew Powder in this recipe and it is OUTSTANDING! I have not tried the one with whole cashews but this on is impressive. I am new to WFPB and this is a HUGE help. Love your channel and blog. ❤️

[@HealthyVeganMama]

So happy you enjoyed it! Woohoo!

[@susanbriggs862]

How much of dry potato powder? Looks amazing. I need to reduce my fat intake even lower because of LPa levels.

[@elizabethalderman3495]

Ok Tia I just made your original cashew cheese sauce. Made a few substitutions but the base is your recipe. So...Omg. I will never go back to eating real cheese. The consistency is perfect. The flavor even better. Made nachos. Yum! I'm eating mostly vegan foods now. It was hard to stop eating. I made 1 b4 that I hated so I gave yours a try. So thrilled that I did. Total game changer for me. Thanks 🤤

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Woohoo! So so happy you enjoyed it!

[@lisabracken273]

Omg!! Yay, no more grinding cashews, i buying some now

[@krawlb4walking802]

I love that you use a little helper in the kitchen❤️…what a great teaching method and great example. Also, thanks for the sauce idea.

[@Puggleatlaw]

Really appreciate the rice recipe as well. So many times I find I make up a batch of cheez sauce and it’s too much so I end up being very tempted to eat store bought tortilla chips with it. So defeating. I have to plan better so I have healthy recipes to incorporate the whole batch of sauce.

[@shirleygagne1674]

Any substitutes for nutritional yeast, which I do not care for?

[@cassieo.29]

Omg do you realize how much time this saves me?! So excited 😊

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Yay!! Enjoy

[@scwheeler24]

I listened through about 3 times did I miss it somewhere the amount of 🥔 flakes? If that was the same measure cup, it looked like 1/2 cup but couldn’t see if it was full.

[@blendedwithmadonnadevlin6520]

I've tried several other cheese sauce recipes and have been disappointed. This recipe however is fabulous! I questioned the smoked paprika but I think that's why I like this! So easy too!

[@tracypodaima3974]

Just made this....omitted the miso paste as I didn't have any and substituted oat meal for mashed potato flakes, again didn't have. Is really good but a bit thick which can be fixed. Thanks for sharing a great recipe.

[@tracihoward7751]

Yes!!! I made the switch when you showed the PB2 cashew powder a couple of weeks ago. However, I experimented with the amount until you landed this recipe. Thanks so much!

[@HealthyVeganMama]

No problem. Yeah I find the dual ratio works best (or a little less).

[@zoemoonwood3061]

I've been substituting the powder for a ages. Love it!

[@mandyc1280]

Well I am excited about this! Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know there was PB2 Cashew powder. Game changer!

[@HealthyVeganMama]

Excited to try this. Do people ever ask you what is your fat source? I'm being asked that almost as often a what's your protein source. It's really making me crazy. When I say nuts, seeds, avocado... I'm always told that's not enough, that I need olive oil. Wait, what?

No I’ve never gotten that one. Seems pretty obvious to me, but people these days 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂 I get it.

Tidbit; I just learned that chickpeas have 14-17% of calories from fat. Of course, Oats have 14%.
