Mac and cheese is one of the most delicious dishes ever and I honestly can’t get enough of it. The original is made with super lots of processed cheese and when you eat it, it feels like you have a rock in your book. At least that is my experience after eating large amounts of cheese. In the vegan area there is once the variant with potatoes and carrots, which are mixed together withcashews to a creamy sauce. Alternatively, there is already a pretty great variation on my blog with pumpkin puree. But if there is no time at all and you want to bring something warm and filling to the table super fast? Then I have the ultimate solution for you. An instant mac and cheese mix that will have you whipping up a delicious vegan recipe in no time!

Before we get to the ingredients, I’d like to briefly tell you about something completely different. My brother came to me with a very interesting question and that was whether vegan nutrition also has disadvantages. I then had to think really long and the first thing that came to my mind was the vegan fast food diet. As with any diet, it’s always a matter of food choices. Do I opt for whole, natural products or do I start the morning with vegan cookies made with extract flour? Then I thought about it further, looking for additional drawbacks. Basically, there are a few things you should know, starting with B12 through omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. However, these are also facts that play a role in any diet.

Question: What potential disadvantages do you see with a vegan diet? Feel free to comment further below, I look forward to your feedback.

For our healthy instant mix today, we need cashews, nutritional yeast, flour, starch, garlic granules, mustard seeds, coconut blossom sugar, paprika powder, salt and bell pepper. This all goes together in the blender and is ground to a fine powder. When it’s time, cook the pasta and in the meantime prepare the sauce. A little plant milk, instant mac and cheese powder and you’re good to go.

TIP: I like to buy cashews in bulk in organic quality. Buying in bulk saves money and packaging waste. I always transfer some of it to a sealable container and store the rest in a cool, dark room.

The mac and cheese can now be refined to your liking. Here comes the list of my favorite add ons:

  • Stewed onions (Cut 1 red onion into rings & roast in a little oil and 1 tsp coconut blossom sugar).
  • Coconut bacon
  • Braised mushrooms (preferably deglazed with tamari)
  • Chili or chili powder (if it may be spicier)
  • Miso
  • Lemon juice
  • Spring onion rings
  • Fresh parsley

So much for the refinements, let’s move on to a few more tips to make sure the preparation goes well:

  • It is important that the mac and cheese powder is as fine as possible. Blend until all the coarse nut pieces are nice and fine and almost pulverized. I like to use my MagiMix here because it has a consistent rotation.
  • Just before preparing, I put the instant mix in a high-powered blender along with the plant milk. This makes the liquid even finer and the final result even creamier.
