WFPB Nacho Cheese
At the beginning of our WFPB journey we started trying different cheese recipes. Many out there are cashew based, and are tasty, but also heavy on calories and fat, and let’s face it, sometimes we want to smother everything we eat in cheesy goodness. The fat and calories can add up, especially when our goal is weight loss.
That’s when I tried our first potato and carrot based cheese sauce. And it was closer to the real thing. I tweaked that original recipe and came up with this ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS Oil Free WFPB Cheese Sauce.
Not only do I make this once a week for my husband and I, but I’m slowly replacing my kids Mac N Cheese packet crap sauce with this sauce. So far, they haven’t noticed! I also make this almost every time I go to our local monthly WFPB Potlucks because it’s always a HUGE hit.
We love to put it on veggies, use as salad dressing, add to tacos and wraps, put on baked potatoes, fries, and even chili!
This is my popular video showing how to make it.
