This recipe is so versatile and can be made drippier for nachos by adding additional water or dairy-free milk into the blender. Mix some salsa in to make a vegan queso!
This cheese worked perfectly with my jalapeño popper recipe!
What is nutritional yeast:
Nutritional yeast is a common ingredient in vegan foods because of its nutty, cheesy flavor! Not only is it a delicious cheese alternative but its also packed with nutrients like Vitamin B. Its also a complete protein which means it contains all 9 essential amino acids! This makes this ingredient perfect for vegans and vegetarians. Its also delicious and nutritious for anyone to eat!
