I help my clients regain their health by designing an overall wellness program, specific to their needs.
Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. I understand this, from personal experience, and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person.
My goal is to help you to eat WHOLE and THRIVE!
Vegan Mac and Cheeze
Ingredients
· 1 1/2 cups raw cashews
· 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
· ¾ cup water
· 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt
· 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
· 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
· 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or ½ clove garlic)
· 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
· 16 oz GF brown rice pasta (shape of choice) or bean pasta (Explore Cuisine and Tolerant brands are what I use)
Directions
· Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Be sure to add a tablespoon of salt to the cooking water, so the noodles will be well seasoned.
· While the pasta is cooking, combine the cashews, lemon juice, water, salt, nutritional yeast, chili powder, garlic, turmeric in a high-speed blender and blend until silky smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add another tablespoon or two of water and blend again.
· Once the pasta is tender, drain and return it to the pot. Stir in the cheese sauce and adjust any seasoning to taste. Serve warm, with any toppings or add-ins you like. I added steamed broccoli and mushrooms.
Notes
I will occasionally add a half teaspoon of Dijon mustard, for a tangier sauce!
