For those looking to enjoy their favorite comfort food, but also pack more veggies into their diet, Ark Foods Cauli Mac is the perfect solution. Now available at Whole Foods, the tasty meal is not only on the healthy side, but also highly convenient for time-pressed consumers.
Ark Foods Cauli Mac is a plant-based pasta dish made from fresh cauliflower florets and a vegan cheddar cheese made from cashews. According to the brand, the cashews give the cheese an "impossibly rich and creamy" texture "with a hint of smokiness."
However, the best part is that the whole meal is microwavable and comes together in just one minute. As a result, it's the perfect single-serve meal for anyone following a plant-based diet who may not have time to cook.
