Cheesy Dairy-Free Macaroni

Daiya's 'Cheezy Mac' is an Alternative to Comforting Dairy Foods

In order to replicate the comforts of macaroni and cheese in a dairy-free way, Daiya introduced three types of 'Cheezy Mac.'

The vegan mac and cheese products consist of gluten-free brown rice pasta noodles that have been covered with dairy-free cheese. In addition to providing a comforting way to enjoy the familiar flavors of traditional cheese varieties, the meals are rich in calcium and B12, which is ideal for those who follow diets that avoid animal and animal products.

Unlike many boxes of macaroni and cheese currently on the market, the Deluxe Cheddar, Deluxe Alfredoo and White Cheddar styles of Cheezy Mac contains a sauce rather than a fine powder for easy mixing with the noodles.
