A Vegan Mac and Cheese Powder To Make Life a Bit Easier

This Vegan Mac and Cheese Instant Powder rivals your childhood favorite boxed brand. It is free of any additives and preservatives and packed with nutrition. Pour this cheesy powder mix on pasta for a quick, comforting meal in under 10 minutes. Make only the cheese sauce and it becomes a creamy queso. Use it to make vegetables more tempting or make loaded nachos, fajitas, or tacos.  Guest chef of the day, Susan Pratt joins us in the kitchen to show us how to make this super simple and totally kid-friendly meal.

TEACHING ALL THINGS PLANT-BASED

Susan is a self-made businesswoman set on teaching people the health benefits and joy that comes from vegan/plant-based nutrition and cooking.  Her approachable style resonates with home cooks, taking the fear out of new recipes and ingredients.  Susan believes that sharing her love of plant-based food can inspire people to consider changes in their own life, benefiting their family’s health, slowing climate change, and ending animal cruelty.

Susan’s greatest joy is cooking. Her extensive travels have inspired her recipes, as has her home in North Vancouver, B.C. Canada, where she has her own garden and forages in the nearby forest for ingredients. Her philosophy is that we are all connected. Her deep love of animals and her daughter, Carrington, reminds her of this interconnectedness every day. Carrington is the best inspiration for her plant-based life.  Susan and her husband have raised their daughter vegan from birth, and she is a thriving 3-year-old.

Kids Love This Vegan Mac and Cheese, And The Powder Makes It So Easy!

Susan has an arsenal of recipes that she can refer to when she needs something quick to feed Carrington, her toddler, but this Vegan Instant Macaroni and Cheese Powder is by far her family favorite.  Anyone that has a toddler will know that they can go from not hungry at all to completely starving in zero-point one seconds. Thank goodness that this recipe takes no time at all to make.

Susan suggests making a large batch of the Powder. You can store it in the cupboard for whenever the munchies hit.

Not only is it fantastic on pasta but you can try it on potatoes and veggies as well. Simply heat the plant milk and vegan butter in a saucepan, pour in the cheese powder, and cook.
