]]> You’ve seen it in vegan recipes everywhere, especially those trying to mimic a “cheesy” flavor. It looks like a yellow powdery substance, and it’s called nutritional yeast. Another common nickname for nutritional yeast is “nooch”. You might be wondering what the obsession with nutritional yeast is all about, as it doesn’t exactly sound appetizing. It looks like vegans add it to everything, but why? What even is nutritional yeast?

Nutritional yeast is essentially deactivated yeast. It has become so popular among vegans because it is a great source of vitamins and minerals, specifically vitamin B and iron. A full serving of nutritional yeast is about two tablespoons, so it’s easy to pack dishes with its nutritional benefits. It is also a great source of protein when you consume a full serving. 

Nutritional yeast is also a great addition to recipes because of its cheesy flavor. It can be mixed into a variety of dishes to create a vegan cheese alternative. Some popular recipes with nutritional yeast include “cheesy” tofu scramble, vegan mac and cheese, dips, and various sauces. It even looks like real cheese! Vegan gooey cheese is surprisingly easy to make with nutritional yeast, and there are countless recipes online.

]]> If you’ve followed a vegan diet for an extended period of time, you’ve more than likely been asked where you get your protein. In general, this question is well-meaning and comes from a place of curiosity, but it does highlight some major misconceptions surrounding nutrition and plant-based diets. Many of us actually eat more protein than we really need, and there are plenty of plant foods that contain enough protein to help us meet the recommended daily intake. Here are a few we especially love.

Tofu

With over 20 grams per ½ cup serving, tofu contains more protein than almost any other plant-based food. It’s made from soy and has a very mild taste that takes on the flavor of whatever it’s prepared with, so it’s incredibly versatile. We love it in Asian dishes and as a replacement for scrambled eggs. 

Beans

There are actually about 400 different varieties of beans in the world, though most grocery stores will only carry about 10-15. All beans contain some protein, though some of the best sources are fava beans, lentils, black beans and chickpeas. 

Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast is a deactivated yeast grown on molasses. It’s a great source of several vitamins and minerals, and it also contains about 8 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons. It has a cheese-like flavor and can be used as a seasoning on everything from pasta to popcorn to oven-roasted veggies.
