    5-Ingredient Vegan White Queso

    5-Ingredient Vegan White Queso. Dairy-Free. Queso Dip. So simple and seriously delicious. Made in a blender with ingredients you probaby have on hand! Perfect for tacos, fajitas or game day. #vegan #white #queso #dip #cheese

    It’s actually magic that this is made out of all vegan ingredients. Like how…?!

    I’ve tried to make vegan cheese sauce out of vegetables (this recipe) and while I love it, nothing beats this 5-Ingredient Vegan White Queso. When you want the real deal, look no further because this is it.

    There are different types of cheesy vegan goodness like a healthy mac and cheese sauce (made out of veggies), dippable nacho cheese and this dreamy white queso. All are wondrously delicious and now I have all 3 here on the blog! I feel complete. Also quick side note, this white sauce would be an amazing swap in my vegan mexican seven-layer dip. Just sayin’, and now dreaming about it.

    5-Ingredient Vegan White Queso. Dairy-Free. Queso Dip. So simple and seriously delicious. Made in a blender with ingredients you probaby have on hand! Perfect for tacos, fajitas or game day. #vegan #white #queso #dip #cheese

    Here are the five ingredient’s you’ll need: (well actually six but not counting water ha).

    • cashews
    • small can of diced green chiles
    • nutritional yeast
    • lemon (or apple cider vinegar)
    • sea salt
    • water

    Blend all ingredients in a small blender until creamy (like a Nutribullet) and serve. Ready in 5 minutes. It literally couldn’t be easier. I’m trying to make my recipes as easy as possible because life is crazy town, you know?? I’ll admit some of my recipes can be more labor-intensive (although worth it) but all recipes from here on out are about ease, accessibility and plant-based deliciousness. That’s all we have time for!

    Serve it over roasted or steamed veggies. Use it on nachos or dip tortilla chips/pretzels in it. Serve it over fajitas (like this Sheet Pan Fajita recipe!) or veggie tacos. There are so many ways to devour this vegan white cheese sauce and I can’t wait to incorporate it into more recipes on here!!

        I also meant to add that I used half cashews and half raw sunflower seeds because that is what I had on hand, it turned out perfect.

      After you soak the cashews in hot water and drain them, do you also add 1/2 cup water to the mixture?

        Tried this tonight with the sheet pan fajitas. Really yummy! One question though, mine turned out looking light green instead of white. Tasted great, but I would love to have the white queso look. Any ideas or suggestions?

      I put sriracha in mine instead of chilis and I’m obsessed! Makes a good amount too!

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- breakfast tacos with pastured eggs
- collagen king coffee ☁️ 
- leftover homemade chicken fried rice 
- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪 
- always sipping on @gerolsteiner_usa 💧

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
