This Vegan “Cheesy” Veggie Buddha Bowl Will up Your Dinner Game

If you haven’t joined the nutritional yeast trend, you should hop on it now. As a newbie pescetarian I started looking into nutritional yeast and found that it is high in protein and fiber, contains vitamin B-12 and most importantly tastes like CHEESE.

The best way to use nutritional yeast is in this “cheesy” sauce by fromscratchclub. I like to pair this sauce up with my favorite Buddha Bowl recipe for a filling, “cheesy” and vegan-friendly meal.
