Equipment

  • NOW Nutritional Yeast Flakes,10-Ounce
  • Vitamix Explorian Blender, Professional-Grade, 64 oz. Low-Profile Container, Black (Renewed)

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup arrowroot powder or tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons dehydrated onion
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 12 ounce jar roasted red peppers
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke
  • 4 cups warm water

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients into a high-speed blender. I've found that one like a Vitamix or Blendtec work the best because you're able to create enough speed and friction to actually warm up the cheese sauce.
  • Blend on high for 5 minutes or until thickened to your liking. Listen to your blender while it's working. If the motor starts to make a deeper sound like it's having to work harder, the cheese is getting thicker and it's time to check it.
  • Serve however you'd like - with chips, on burritos, over nachos, etc.
