The Best Vegan Cheese Wiz

Have you ever thought about making “cheese” with carrots? Well, neither have I. Until now… This is The Best Vegan Cheese Wiz. It is by far my favorite. I know I say that about all the vegan cheeses I make but I’m for real serious about this one. When I first made it I could not believe how much it actually tasted like the real thing. But better in my opinion. When you change your eating habits to a more healthier style your tastebuds also change and get use to the newer things. For example, I use to put 3 sweet n’ lows in my coffee. I haven’t used sweet n’ low for years and if I had it now I would for sure think it’s way to sweet and fake tasting. Yuck! So something that you would eat all the time like cheddar or american cheese, when you change over to a more plant based diet or just to healthier foods in general, those things you once loved taste different to you and chances are you won’t like the way it tastes. (Except chocolate. Take that away from me and I would crumble to the ground and cry out WHY!)

This isn’t just made with carrots, it’s also made with potatoes. Yup, just regular potatoes! Honestly, I would have never even thought of putting the two together. Usually potatoes are baked, boiled, turned into mash or french fries Yum. But a cheese wiz!?. Come on! Like where has this been all my life! GeeezI adapted this recipe from Veggie On A Penny who adapted it from Vegan Yumminess. When I read how she made this I was like Whoa. My mouth literally watered and I kind of licked my computer screen. Hey it happens all the time on occasion. #hungrymommyproblems. I thought to myself…No freakin’ way that looks way to good to be a vegan cheese. We all know that vegan cheese can be bleh sometimes (a lot).

Now growing up on meats and dairy like me I’ve tasted every kind of cheese out there. Sometimes I miss it. You’re talking 20 plus something years of eating those kinds of foods. But now that I know how to make healthier alternatives like this, while saving the planet, animals and my sanity I think it’s a win win! Oh by the way regular dairy cheese is addicting. That is no joke. You can literally be addicted to cheese because of the Casein in it. It has an opiod affect. So when people eat cheese they usually have a feeling of euphoria just the same as a person addicted to pain meds. Who wants that problem right!?

When you talk to non vegans or even vegetarians that are dairy free for the most part, cheese was the hardest thing to “give up”. It was for me too. I wasn’t born into a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle so to make that transition was hard. Mentally I was like oh hell no I don’t want cheese but my physical part, the part that was addicted was like Um yea where my cheese at.

If you’re transitioning or have been plant based your whole life either way you will enjoy this. The consistency is O my G incredible. Like cheese fries from the boardwalk that’s how good it is.Are you having a complete inappropriate eye drool? Do it up. What I love even more about this is you can change up the spices. You can make it spicy, or garlicy or anything you want!

You must be thinking ok how hard is this to make because I ain’t got the time Jenn to be all up in the kitchen churning some carrots and potatoes all day just for some cheese. Ok well I hate to disappoint you but it takes like 5 minutes…whomp whom whomp. hahaha

I tease I tease! How awesome is that. You can make this in just a couple of minutes and have it to snack on for a few days. I had to had to had to go with wedged fries. I was feeling all “Under the Boardwalk, Down by the Sun, Under the Boardwalk, We’ll be having some fun, Under the Boardwalk…Boardwalk.” 

I also went with straight up raw broccoli. Another green fave of mine. Cheese, potatoes, carrots and fries oh my! Go get your healthy on with this snackalicious, good for you Wiz of all things Cheese!
