Vegan Mac N Cheese

For some reason I bought silken tofu at whole foods the other day, despite never having eaten silken tofu. I thought maybe I could come up with a high protein dessert with it or something, but the idea for vegan mac n cheese struck me as I was plotting my girl dinner for the evening. I recently rediscovered nutritional yeast and have a new appreciation for the cheesiness of what at first looks like fish food (sorry).

I've been trying to eat more protein in general, incorporating a lot of greek yogurt, cottage cheese, whey protein, which are all wonderful sources of protein, however, my skin could benefit from less dairy. This vegan mac n cheese is dairy-free, high-protein, creamy, and (as with most of my recipes) gluten free.

Add in your favorite sauteed veggies for a well-rounded girl dinner.
