    Macaroni was fine but the sauce was really weird. Won’t make again.

    I couldn’t find nutritional yeast, so I used regular cheese… still turned out great!

      Cheese?! But that’s not vegan, lol! Glad it turned out okay, though!

    Not a fan. The cashews are too much for me.

    Didn’t really have a cheesy flavor. Maybe I messed it up?

      I thought it was okay, but it didn’t taste like real mac and cheese to me. Just too different!!

    Who knew cashews could make cheese?! Mind blown!

    This is not mac and cheese!!! You can’t fool me, man.

      Nah man, this ain’t real mac and cheese. Where’s the cheese? You can’t just swap stuff out and call it the same thing.

    2. 4 stars
      It’s definitely a different take on mac and cheese, but I think it’s still worth trying! It’s vegan after all!
