Surprised it's not here yet, but look into nutritional yeast. One serving is like 1g fat, 5g carbs (but 4 are fiber) and 9g protein
I bought a big shaker can for a reasonable price when I was trying to make a ground beef style tofu preparation. That recipe didn't work out for me, but I'd been meaning to use it. I know people make a vegan mac and cheese with it, and that causes some polarizing opinions lol. Are there like specific recipes for it or would I just add it in to things I'm trying to change the macros of?
Use it in virtually any savory dish! If something could be made with stock or cheese, you can safely and deliciously add nooch.
Here is a very good savory seasoning blend for veggies. popcorn, etc. that has a sort of BBQ'y flavor. All ingredients are optional, esp. those in parentheses.
* substitute for salt
You can dust this over baked/roasted/grilled veggies, or add to sautees for soups or any other application!
Thanks it's fun to have roll-your-own seasoning blends, I'll play with this. I often default to seasoned salt on things this looks like a way to add a lot more flavor with the same amount of saltiness. When the other poster said add it to savory dishes my mind immediately went to adding nooch to mashed potatoes and gravy.
Those are great applications!
Anything where you want cheese-ish flavor. You can make a good sauce base with raw cashews (boil for five minutes), paprika, nutritional yeast, onion powder, and garlic powder. Good macros, and you can dump that on the cooked pasta of your choice and have baked mac and cheese inside a half hour..
Thank you I'll start trying to incorporate it into things and thanks for the cashew sauce recipe.
