These Vegan Parmesan recipes are game changer if you don’t eat dairy! It’s even so good that those who love cheese will want to dig in! Both recipes, the cashew and the brazil nut Parmesans, are 4 ingredients and a 3 minute prep time each, so there is no excuse not to give it a try.

It’s a perfect topping for pasta, pizza, sandwiches, salads, popcorn and any recipe that calls for Parmesan cheese.

Nutritional yeast (available in our boutique) has been a pantry staple in our home for years since going mostly dairy free. It has a nutty and savory taste that goes well with sea salt and EVOO. Nutritional Yeast is an inactive yeast so it doesn’t grow like baking yeast and has no leavening ability. It contains B-vitamins, folic acid, zinc, and protein (8 grams of protein in 1 ½ tbsp!). This powerhouse is low fat, gluten-free (check specific brands), and contains no added sugars or preservatives. Most brands contain B12, a natural energy enhancer and a producer of DNA and red blood cells in the body. Vitamin B12 is absent from plant foods and is found mainly in animal or dairy products and fortified cereals, making it harder for vegans/vegetarians specifically to ensure proper levels. This is a great way to get your B vitamins!

We use it all the time when cooking for our kids food too! They call it “yellow cheese.”
