This one is not for the nutritional yeast haters out there, but if you love nutritional yeast like I do, this is a great way to drench your food in yummy sauce.
Ingredients*

- 2 oz plant-based milk 1/4 protein

- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
- Soak the cashews overnight in water in a lidded container. (Room temperature or refrigerated is fine, it doesn’t matter)
- In the morning, rinse and drain the cashews.

What brand of nutritional yeast do you use?
I use any brand, I can’t tell the difference. Sometimes bulk, sometimes braggs, sometimes Trader Joe’s.
Do you weigh it out as your protein or fat?
This is 1 serving and counts as 3/4 of a protein.
Do you weigh this out each time you eat it?
What do you mean?
