Vegan Queso

This vegan queso is quick and easy to make and packed full of nutrition. Made with both steamed and fresh vegetables, it boasts a cheesy flavor without an ounce of cheese in sight! Additionally, the nutritional yeast provides vitamin B-12, which is important to supplement in a vegan diet. This queso is very versatile. We love to use it for dipping nachos or sliced veggies, pasta or pizza sauce, a layer in 7 layer dip, in a taco or quesadilla, or as a sauce for a nourish bowl.
