Daiya Deluxe Mac & Cheeze was first launched in 2015 and since then the plant-based movement has only continued to grow, and now the brand is expanding its varieties with pour-and-stir sauce pouches and gluten-free pasta. Alongside classic White Cheddar, Cheddar and Alfredo options, plant-based eaters of all ages can appreciate gourmet flavors like Meatless Bac'n & Cheddar Style, Four Cheeze Style with Herbs and the all-new Cheddar Jalapeño Style for those who love a hint of heat.
These fresh and vibrant options are as convenient as ever to make and the dairy-free meals are positioned as "appetizing alternatives to the 'tried and true' that you grew up with."
To elevate these boxed meals, the brand recommends recipes like Mac & Cheeze with Roasted Butternut Squash & Kale or Mac n' Cheese Pizza.
