Cheese Sauce - was additives and their benefits?

[Guest guest]

Almost every raw food cheese sauce I've seen contains nutritional yeast as an ingredient.This looks like a good one: http://happyfoody.com/2009/08/10/raw-cheddar-cheese-sauce/Here is the Google Search for "raw food cheese sauce" http://www.google.com/search?client=safari & rls=en & q=raw+food+cheese+sauce & ie=UTF-8 & oe=UTF-8I'm glad of this thread - now I'm inspired to go get some nutritional yeast and make cheese sauce - have been planning to anyway now that I'm making sweet cashew cream for my morning rice waffle, I'd planned on making a savory cashew cream with nutritional yeast.Can't wait to hear how makes hers...

Like , I LOVE nutritional yeast on my popcorn. I even find myself licking the bowl when the popcorn is gone, lol!, what is your nutritional cheese sauce recipe/method? I think I'm going to fall in love with it...FrannyOn Feb 17, 2011, at 9:09 AM, Berry wrote:

A common "side effect" of the Vitamix seems to be when you learn that there is a whole new world of nutritional goodies out there that most people have never heard of! The fun side of that is, that it often leads to other things, such as sprouting (my favorite hobby) gardening, and other cool things. I thought "chia" seeds were for chia pets. Who knew they were PACKED with nutrition, can be used in all sorts of things, and work wonders to thicken a smoothie in the Vitamix? I highly recommend that you experiment with various seeds, sprouts and other goodies. I have at least three trays of sprouts or micro greens on the go at any given time, and love to add them to smoothies. Seeds are great ground, or sprouted. Try some fenungreek seed-it is what curry powder is made with. Simple seed to sprout, nice additive to

soups and sauces. (Don't be surprised if you catch the "sprouting bug"!! Fun, inexpensive hobby! As for yeast, I suggest exploring nutritional yeast as opposed to brewer's yeast, which is a by product of the beer industry. Nutritional yeast makes a lovely dairy free "cheese" sauce, and blends up beautifully in the VM.From: Nadine <ncruzsaubert@...>Subject: additives and their benefits?

As I get more comfortable with the vitamix- I want to "do more." I am curious about learning how to incorporate simple additives like seeds, nutritional yeast, bee pollen, etc.. to boost up nutrition! maybe someone with more knowledge can start a file with all the benefits of the additives. For example- I did not know that something as simple as sesame seeds were packed with nutrients. I saw them at the produce market I go to and was curious, came home and googled and wow- gotta get some next time! I currently use flaxseed in almost anything I can- but thats about it. I know brewers yeast is good but I don't know how to use it...
