UPDATE! So a week and some days later, we’re having leftovers from this recipe. Two things: One of the great things about vegan food is that it doesn’t spoil as quickly, which puts more dollars in your pocket! Second, we tried a dollop of Hampton Creek Chipotle mayo in it, and wow! It adds a pretty yummy kick to it! Try any vegan flavored mayo to vary it up, if you ended up with a lot of sauce, like we did!

We were so excited to tell you about this recipe, we completely forgot to yell “VEGANIZE IT!” But that’s okay! Because this delicious mac n’ cheese substitute is its OWN unique dish! We all know how terrible dairy is for our health, the animals and the planet, so we challenge you to start making some substitutions! We KNOW it’s addicting (literally). We were there too. So watch on to learn more about why and how you can weaning off cheese. Aside from one of the little plastic tabs breaking off our Nutribullet container, this recipe went swell! ;D Hey, if we can do it, YOU can!

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups cashew milk
1 mashed sweet potato
10 oz of unsalted macadamia nuts (soaked overnight and drained)
4 tbs grapeseed oil
4 tbs nutritional yeast
4 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp of:
mustard powder
turmeric
paprika
onion powder
cayenne pepper
crushed round crackers (We used these: https://www.backtonaturefoods.com/what-we-make/crackers/classic-round/)

1) Blend until creamy: macadamia nuts, sweet potato, nutritional yeast and cashew milk.
2) Heat the grapeseed oil and garlic on med-high heat until fragrant.
3) Pour in the macadamia cream blend and stir.
4) Add all the spices and salt and pepper to taste.
5) You may add a little water to thin the cream, if needed.
6) Simmer on low for 3-5 minutes.
7) Dress your pasta and top with the crushed crackers and a pepper to taste.

Addendum: Also, something I (Ana) should’ve expanded on in the video is that the cholesterol number we should be looking at is the LDL cholesterol, not TOTAL cholesterol. The higher your HDL, the better, and that too can contribute to a higher total cholesterol number. In my specific case, my LDL was higher than my HDL, so no bueno!

Also, it IS possible to be genetically predisposed to higher than average cholesterol levels. This means your body produces a little more cholesterol than most, but if you drop meat and dairy, you WILL see a drop. Start there!
