Vegan Mac & Cheese

We have been experimenting more with vegan cheese sauces. A lot of them have a cashew base but this one is a little different. We made this sweet potato “cheese” sauce in our Vitamix. It is a quick and easy recipe. The Vegan Mac & Cheese doesn’t even need to bake.

To make the vegan cheese sauce combine the following and blend until smooth:

• 2 cooked sweet potatoes (we trimmed the skin off ours and steamed in the instant pot but you can also bake or boil)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• juice of 1 lemon

Stir the sauce in with about 8 ounces (half a box) of cooked macaroni noodles and serve.
