If you don’t use Nutritional Yeast/ Nooch, you have to start!
Not only does this superfood give your food a cheesy taste. It is also loaded with vitamins, contains protein & is low in calories.

I add nooch to soups & sauces as well as sprinkle it directly on cooked veggies & popcorn. You can buy it in bulk containers at stores like Whole Foods. You can also buy it on Amazon. I usually buy Bragg’s.
Okay so this post contains a simple, 2 minute Vegan BEAN Cheese Sauce. Tomorrow I will post a VEGGIE Cheese Sauce that will feature a pretty killer Vegan Mac n Cheese recipe.
Read til the bottom of the post as I will share the flatbread I made with my leftover sauce as well!

Here is a super simple, quick, easy, healthy & yummy dinner to make with your leftover cheese sauce.
I love Flatout flatbreads. Most of their flats have a good amount of fiber & protein. They are great topped with vegan pizza ingredients, hummus & veggies, etc & then grilled or baked.
For this recipe I used their multi-grain Flatout. I also like their protein flat as well.
