Healthy Vegan Nut & Oil-Free Nacho Cheese Sauce

This Healthy Vegan Nut & Oil-Free Nacho Cheese Sauce is from sweet potatoes, believe it or not. Of course, some condiments as well were used, but the smooth creamy consistency is thanks to the humble sweet potato.
Who doesn’t like nacho cheese sauce? Well, I do. But finding a decent vegan-friendly alternative at the store is difficult. Mainly because they either contain nuts or are just too unhealthy. Loaded with too much sugar, salt, and other nasty stuff.

So, I made a vegan version myself, that’s completely nut-free and so much healthier.

You can use this vegan nacho cheese sauce for whatever you fancy. I just like to dip in it with some vegan pringles…weird, maybe, I know.

Anyway, I hope you make this recipe and enjoy it as much as I do.

Notes

I made my batch very thick. If you'd like yours thinner, just add water or unflavored non-dairy milk until desired consistency is reached.

Store the leftovers in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3 days!
