Gluten-Free and Vegan Mac and Cheese


Even before I was vegan, I was never a big meat eater. But there is one animal product that I had a soft spot for - cheese! It was my favorite! Ooey, gooey, cheese! I used to add it to everything. But me and dairy don't really get along that well. Since I went vegan, I have been searching for the perfect cheese sauce recipe. I think I found it! This recipe is very low in fat and is super filling and nutritious! 

Ingredients-
1 can white kidney (cannellini) beans
1 to 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
a few baby carrots
1 tablespoon lemon juice
lemon pepper
garlic powder
rice milk (add as needed)
salt (to taste)
gluten-free noodles of your choice (I used Heartland Gluten Free Fusilli)


First, you will want to cook your noodles according to the instructions on the package. While the noodles are cooking, add everything to the blender. Blend until smooth. (This part is very important) Drain your pasta and pour sauce over it.


 
Serve! This recipe is super delicious and nutritious. Hope you enjoy! :)

Easy and Healthy Vegan Ice Cream

This recipe is one of my favorites! It's super easy and versatile. You can flavor it however you want. I made mine vanilla, but you can add peppermint extract and vegan chocolate chips to make a really great mint chocolate chip ice cream! It also makes a amazing chocolate ice cream. :)

Ingredients- 
2 frozen bananas
5 soaked dates 
Vanilla 
Vegan milk of your choice 

Add everything to the blender. 
Blend until smooth. Mine got a little melty, so I popped it in the freezer and stirred it every so often. Once it reaches the desired consistency, scoop the ice cream out and serve! This recipe is very low in fat and has no refined sugar. And most importantly, it tastes amazing! 

I topped mine with chopped dates. You can add whatever you want.
