Easy vegan mac and cheezy

It’s creamy, golden, and rich enough to make you forget the boxed stuff existed.

This mac gets its richness from blended cashews, its depth from nutritional yeast, and that classic melty pull from vegan cheddar.

It’s gooey, it’s comforting, and yes, people will ask for the recipe.

Avocado and banana cream

Cool down with the easiest dessert of the summer. Ripe bananas, creamy avocado, and rich cocoa blend into a smooth, chocolatey base. Scoop into glasses, chill, and top with fresh berries and nuts for a festive 4th of July finish.

The secret behind the cheeze? It’s nooch.

Nooch—or nutritional yeast—is the reason your mac tastes so cheesy without the dairy.

It’s savory, nutty, and surprisingly versatile.
