Looks tasty and sounds easy!😋 Have a great weekend!:) 

I need to try this. Can I use plan yogurt? 

Looks Great! 

Sure you can, abigail! I just use cashew yogurt to make the dish vegan 

I love cashew cheese. I have a recipe with just raw cashews water garlic lemon juice and it taste amazing! No nutritional yeast needed😊 

Suzrogo- I find the cheese recipes that use cashews, whether or not they include nutritional yeast, taste more like cheese than the ones that rely strictly on the yeast. I have a wonderful tofu and cashew ricotta from the Veganomicon cookbook that doesn't use yeast. My dairy-loving, omnivore husband approves of it 😋 Have you checked out the It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken website? 

Where do you get cashew yogurt? 

cindylynnwho -- I get the Forager brand, unsweetened. Where I live, both Albertson's and Natural Grocers carry it. I like it best out of the nondairy yogurts I've tried 

Good to know writingwyo I will look for it. Though we don’t have Albertsons anymore but do have health food stores  

Is natural grocers a specific store? Have not heard of it  

Yep, Natural Grocers is a specific store, but I'm guessing you could find it at any other health food store  

Ok thank you!  

Thank you for the cheez sauce recipe. Tried it. Yummy. 

Glad you liked it, kahlua! And NAVYWIFESKI -- didn't mean to miss you. Thanks for stopping by! 😁 

Anytime! I know we eat the same yogurt so I thought of you this morning. I added a level scoop of Orgain chocolate fudge protein powder with 2/3 cup of yogurt and then added 1/2 cup strawberries. Tasted just like chocolate cake batter!😋 I wondered how you would feel about the powder. I don’t use it often but it is good in yogurt and oatmeal. 

I know a lot of people use them, but I don't use protein powders. I'm not sold on the whole idea of a high protein diet, and I find I can get what I believe is enough from foods. A lot of people find protein keeps them feeling full longer, but I have better luck on that front with fiber than with protein. I do incorporate soy and seitan to keep my protein levels adequate. But if it works for you, more power to ya! 👍😃 

I didn’t think you were too fond of them. I am not into high protein either. I do good to get what I need. 😀 

If you're craving chocolate, try a banana, half an avocado, a couple of tablespoons of cocoa powder and your choice of milk in the blender sometime. Tastes like a chocolate shake 😋 

I will do that! I use oat milk.
