Vegan (soy Free) Mac & Cheese

Hi,

I'm looking for a vegan mac & cheese recipe. Does anyone have a cheese sauce that is soy and dairy free. I have a child who loves mac and cheese and it was easy to make when she could still eat diary and soy. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

No ideas exactly. My ds also loves pesto pasta, which you could make at home without the cheese. Nutritious, tasty, and a similar texture.

I'm not sure exactly the comparison, but you might check out a raw foods cookbook. There are "cheese-like" substitutes made with nuts (no soy/dairy) that might work. I don't know that they'd cook well, and you might want to serve it over a "raw pasta" (thinnly sliced raw zucchini, or the like), but it might be an option.

Thanks for the ideas. I've got squash growing in my garden which would work great. I've also made pesto without the cheese so this would be a great option. Much healthier than the traditional! :lol:

I would look for some Rice or Almond Cheese then mix it, melted, with Vance's Dari-Free beverage which is not sweet like Rice Dream or Almond Milk. Then I'd use my favorite pasta...Tinkyada, which is a lot of other people's fav on this board too.

You may want to try different rice or nut based cheeses.....not all of them are good tasting. It's been so long since I've bought any that I'm sorry I can recommend a brand.

That chreese stuff is nasty. Don't recommend it! Blech! If you do try it - don't expect it so taste *anything* like cheese.

That is funny! I haven't tried it but I can only imagine! :P I'll be sure and check out the rice cheese. We just found out the our child is senstitive to almonds. ;) I made a recipe from the Gluten Free Pantry webiste today for potato and cauliflower soup. I pureed the cauliflower instead of the potatos and it was really creamy. I used the Vance's DairyFree and it worked. I thought that might be good with pasta, minus the potatoes. I think I've seem that some store bought mac and cheese use tumeric for the color! I'll post the recipe when I figure a good one out.... :lol:

Thanks!

almost all rice/nut/soy based cheese have casein in them. the only truely dairy free cheese I know of are the Follow your Heart one (soy based) and Chreese.

Tiffany-

What you mentioned is amazing to me--but I've found it to be true. In my search for diary free cheese, most of the soy and nut and rice cheeses I've found have casein added back into them. And if someone isn't going diary free, I can't imagine why they want to eat nut or soy cheese ! I always just popped a lactaid pill. ;) The one cheese I've found, gluten-free/cf is this vegan cheese from soyco/galaxy foods. Haven't tasted it yet though... I've had to special order it!

Thanks ladies, I had wondered about the Rice Chesse I looked at! Developing a casein free cheese would be an awesome idea. :)

Yeepie Sunni, this is very helpful. :) Thanks for the link to your recipes, what a treat. I had no ideas that nutritional yeast could be eating by those with candida. I had just always passed it by at the health food stores. :rolleyes:

Here is some information on the Nutritional Yeast from the RedStarYeast site:

It mentions that it is safe for Candida sufferers. Nutritional Yeast is used in a lot of vegetarian recipes, especially cheese. Unfortunately, I am allergic to yeast which means I can't have any form of it. This is bad since I am also allergic to milk and soy. But, I have made one of the faux cheese sauce recipes without any yeast/milk/soy by adding Fleischmann's margarine + tapioca/cornstarch + mustard and spices. It seemed to work pretty well baked on a faux pizza! (It looked and tasted like pizza but without any gluten, yeast, milk, eggs or soy)

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By asaT · Posted

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Insomnia help

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
