In this video I show you how to make two yummy plant based cheese sauces. One is a low fat sauce made with only a little bit of cashews and the other is competely nut free and fat free. I lost 40 lbs in 11 months when I switched to a high starch, low fat plant based diet. I read the book "The Starch Solution" by Dr. John Mcdougall and it has forever changed my life. Not only did I lose 40 lbs but I also got rid of cystic acne, bad blood pressure, prediabetes, and bad cholesterol. I also had many female health issues going on that completely reversed after eating this way. Im sharing my journey and how I did it.

1 tsp onion pwdr
2 tsp garlic pwdr
2 tsp salt
squeeze of 1/4 lemon

I just made my second batch of this. I used cashews the first time, and I used beans in the second batch. This is amazing both ways! I always find a way to make things easier as I'm not an enthusiastic cook. This recipe works great using canned diced potatoes and canned carrots. No peeling/cooking potatoes. Easy and delicious! I only have a Nutribullet, but I just blended half at a time and then combined it in a jar. Soooo good! Thanks!
I have a nutribullet also and can't wait to try both recipes!
Kiki adding 2 tsp of smoked paprika to your cheese gives another version I’m sure you will love too ! Thx for all you do !
YALL! You gotta try this! I was skeptical for several weeks because I’ve tried a lot of potato carrot cheeses and they sucked. I finally made the fat free one and added white beans instead of cashews and OMGGGG. Y’all this is BEYOND DELICIOUS! I even had my family try it so I could prove I’m not crazy and they legit thought it was cheese! Thank you KIKI! This is a major WIN!! 🤩🙌🏽🤩
What type of white bean?
@@SusanChung01 , I don't know what kind of bean she used, but I used canned Great Northern beans, and it was wonderful.
@@SusanChung01probably cannelini or great northern
So freaking good!! Thank you, Kiki!! ❤
Just made this recipe for the 1,000th time…and it’s still my favorite ❤️
I just made the cheese sauce and had it over brown rice, lentils, broccoli, and asparagus. It's kind of a miracle.
I bet you'll never touch 'Cheeze Whiz' again
Wow
I think it tastes like chicken gravy! It's amazing!
You are FAR from lazy, or unprofessional.... You are inspiring, amazing, healthy and an incredible cook! Thank you!!!! (please be kind to yourself, you deserve it!!!!)
I have tried sooo many vegan cheese sauces and I ended up throwing them all out. They were gross! I just made your fat free version without the beans and girl, you have just won me over! Even my 4 and 8 year olds couldn’t tell it wasn’t real cheese sauce! I’ve been vegan since March and have been missing cheese so much. Thank you so much for sharing!
Leandra Baker yay!!! I’m soooo glad you liked it!! We eat so much of this stuff on everything! Enjoy!!
I am about to make it now!! So excited. Rewatching this video to get the recipe.
I'm so glad, because I made two versions from Well your World and I had to throw them out, they were so gross. Can't wait to try this one!
I just made your cheese sauce and we really like it. I tried other people’s recipes and they tasted bad. I am so happy to find your blog. I mixed up everything for the meatballs but forgot to sauté the mushrooms and onions. Anyway I’m going to try making them tomorrow. I hope they will be ok. I’ll try next time the correct way. Thanks for the recipes.
I make mine with hummus. So good!
OMG! I just made this for the first time (the version with cashews) and it's absolutely delicious!! I love this better than the cheese sauce recipes that use only cashews. I added just a pinch more salt and a pinch of cayenne and wow!! I'm blown away. Even my boyfriend who's totally not vegan loves it, too. Thank you! This is priceless, really!
Finally tried it tonight. The cashew version. I love!! I smothered my hashbrowns and broccoli and voila! So delicious!
You guys, I have tried every cheese sauce out there, I swear. After trying well your world's cheese sauce, I almost gave up. This one is a winner! I tried the one with cashews. The only change I made was I added 1/2 a juiced lemon instead of 1/4, because I like it a little tangier, like a sharp cheddar. Yummy!! I can finally stop looking for cheese sauces.
I just made this. It’s………incredible!!!! Really delicious, made Mac and cheese for the family tonight with it and there were no complaints and empty plates!!
Just made this cheese sauce with the cashews and it is unbelievable! I couldn’t believe that only 1/2 cup of cashews and these veggies along with nutritional yeast could really taste like cheese. This is a game changer! Also I got a full quart jar plus almost a full pint jar so this s a great way to stretch the fat.
Omg! I just made this tonight (also subbed the cashews for half a block of firm tofu)...literally perfection. Thank you so much for this recipe.
What a great idea(adding tofu)! I'm gonna try two batches...one with tofu, one with beans!
the strainer may not be "professional" but is GENIUS!
For keto folks concerned about gaining weight by eating carbs, I lost 40 lbs in 5 months by eating WFPB and I’m 66 years of age. Just be sure to do half plate philosophy! If I can do it anyone can. Good luck.
I am gonna try this. I have tried to go the starch solution route and have not been able to stick to it because I am addicted to cheese. Meat is not that hard for me to give up and I love vegetables of all kinds! Now I don't have to join Weight Watchers again to lose the last 10 lbs. Love your videos . You are inspirational and you don't judge people. Mark my words, your channel will be HUGE one day💕I am 56 years old and you are gonna be a big help to me!
Lee Hood thank you so much! And I was soooo addicted to cheese and so was my family and this cheese was what helped us get through!! The cashews make it so delicious and creamy
try popcorn with nutritional yeast/paprika/onion /garlic powders, oregano etc, an excellent way to drop a few
This sauce is amazing! I subbed hemp hearts because I was out of cashews and it worked beautifully. I’ve made it with beans too...good no matter what! Definitely creamier with the nuts/seeds. Even my 9 year old who hates vegan cheese liked it! She was licking the spatula...hands down, best cheeze sauce recipe! Thank you Kiki!!!!!
Trying this tomorrow. Wow, I was nervous about this vegan transition, but Kiki, you got me all inspired. I'm excited.
Omg . ive been doing keto for almost a year (on a date) and I have lost 56 lbs, but...i just can't do the meat thing to well . I'm really nervous about eating carbs. I think ive been programmed lol. I'm going to start on July 1st. I will let you know how it goes. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thelma, how is it going?! Girl if you started, awesome! How are you feeling? If not, you totally have this!! Just get the nutritional yeast and some cabbage.
Congrats on making the transition. It really does get easier as time goes on and your find new favorites! Enjoy!
Thelma Bolden I did the same thing with keto. However, my doctor told me I had to switch give cholesterol was high 400. What you thinking of taking for b12?
I just made this!! It is SO good! By far the BEST vegan cheese sauce I’ve ever had! Would also be easy to make it a spicy cheese sauce! Thank you so much for sharing this! Such a game changer... seriously!
My husband had his gallbladder removed and can’t process fat the way he used to anymore so we’ve been finding fat free recipes! I recently stumbled upon your channel and it’s been so amazing! I’ve been binge watching all your videos haha! I made this sauce tonight (the fat free version) and it’s delicious! My husband is a fan too! Thank you!!!
I love how real you are! haha. I am a mama too, and vegan for 17 years, trying to be way more lean now and eat less processed vegan fatty stuff. keep glowing mama!
I just made this cheese sauce! I love it and wanted to say thank you! I'm thrilled and literally just said to my husband--"Are you as excited as I am?" I'm just thinking of all the possibilities. Thanks again!
Just made the fat free, bean free version and oh my it's delicious!
Scot Girl woohoo!! I seriously can’t live without cheese sauce!
I just made the fat free cheese sauce!!! It really was so easy to make! I steamed the potatoes and carrots separately in the Instant Pot. It was absolutely delicious!! This is a game changer! Thank you so much, Kiki! Love your recipes and your channel, so amazing!! Thank you!
I have tried and tried different cheese sauces, with no success, until I found your recipe. Success!!! Absolutely delicious!
Hi I love all your videos please keep them coming! I made that cheese and it’s delicious. We are very healthy and now with oil free cooking even more healthy. Congratulations on your weight loss successes. We also make our children eat what we eat and they are so much better now . I love your no nonsense attitude your kindness . Thank you 😊
I watch with my children one of your video a night so they see there are other families eating like us 😅.
wiolagiegiel awww yay!! Thank you so much for your kind words!! It’s so great that your kids are getting such a healthy start in life!!
Wiolagiegiel, did you have to buy very expensive pots and pans when making the switch? If so, what’s a good brand that is working for you? My food seems to stick A LOT without oil. My stainless steel pans are about five years old seems to be in good condition, but I wonder if they just look good.
🤤this sauce is the only reason I can absolutely do this starch solution lifestyle . Thank you 🙃🙂
Omg. You're a wizard! I made the fat free version but with garbanzo beans instead of white beans and HOLY SMOKES. It BLEW. MY. MIND. how much this tastes like real queso!!! This is one of the best vegan recipes I have come across in terms of accurately getting the taste of a non vegan food once you make it vegan. It's crazy that it's so simple and cheap too. I am definitely saving this recipe to impress my family with how GOOD vegan food can be!!!!!
I tried this and it was awesome. I actually thought I made too much until I tried it on my potatoes and vegetables.....yum
The fat free one is litterally like 30 calories per 100 gr. Good job this just saved my diet for my next bodybuilding show :)
Okay, so went to the grocery store and bought the items needed. So, I was very skeptical when I proceeded to make the cheese sauce. One eye closed, one eye opened, following the recipe. I used 2 cups of water to begin and the consistency was to my preference. I poured into jars and then tasted, OMG, OMG, LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing, still on the fence about the new way of eating.
c Milam Did you make the nut version or fat free version? Just curious since I too am thinking os switching diets🤔
Made the nut version. It does have a note of garlic, so if you don’t care for garlic just leave out a smidgeon, also didn’t have fresh lemon, used 1 tsp. of lemon juice. So, not to waste in case you don’t like try making half the recipe; but do follow her recipe to the letter otherwise.
My two cents. I was VERY skeptical, I have tried potato cheese sauce recipes and they were gooey and just awful. This recipe is the best thing since sliced bread!!!!! Wow Wow Wow, thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe. I made the fat free version without the beans. I didn't have garlic powder, and it still tastes amazing. Love and Light.
just made it today!!!! and it tastes just like real nacho cheese!!! 10/10 and it's so CREAMY!!! * O *
I found you a month ago and love your channel. I went whole food plant based a month and a half ago and have lost 14 .5 lbs. I binged watched all your videos and look forward to your new ones. I just made your fat free cheese sauce using the beans and it’s really good! Next time I’ll try it without the beans to see if I like it better. I haven’t had cheese for so long and this sauce hits the spot😊
Kiki I made the no fat version, love it.. and used it as the base for broccoli cheese soup. I boiled broccoli in a little water and added the cheese sauce to it to my desired thickness and it was so good. A cup at Panera is 14 grams of fat and this version is 0 fat. I can eat as much as I want as often as I want. Thank you!!!
From Canada, thanks for including fat-free recipe for the cheese sauce. So many people on You Tube are using vegan butter and vegan cheese. They really are high in fat processed foods. Maybe vegan cheese and butter are ok for a treat now and then but I stay away from them.
Great job on the recipe and vid. I am a subscriber!
Hey! I'm from Canada too!
When I seen the ingredients in this sauce I knew I had to make this ASAP and when I did I fell in love instantly, no cap. 💯
I finally got around to making the cheese sauce. I wanted to wait until I reach a certain weight loss goal before I added nuts!!! Omg.. this is the best oil free vegan cheese sauce hands down!!! I only added 2 cups of water and it is perfect!!!
I love this. I mixed some with salsa and used it as natch dip. It was the best I have ever had. 💚
What is natch? Nacho is spelled n-a-c-h-o.
Hi! I tried the oil free cheese sauce and me and my family just loved it! So delicious and easy to make, a new favorite for sure.
Greetings from Sweden Scandinavia 🇸🇪❤️
Wow. I mean, just, wow! This sauce is a gamechanger and would make any food more delicious. I'm actually quite shocked that it worked and how tasty it is! You could switch flavours around with this so readily, too. Thank you!!!!❤
Just made this tonight, such a great guilt-free cheesy sauce. I added about double nutritional yeast for some added cheesiness and it was delicious! Thank you so much for sharing; I love your channel!!
This sauce is a total game changer, I just ate a small amount like soup 😂😂 sooo good!!
OMG!!! I just made this Kiki and I absolutely LOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEE it! Hands down best cheese sauce recipe! Thank you so much xx
Making this today and can't wait!!
Can't wait to try both versions! You deserve so many more subscribers!
Scot Girl What an amazing compliment! Thank you so much!
share, share, share
Does anyone know how long this last in the fridge??
I know I'm late to the party but I JUST made this cheese sauce and I have to say WOW! So. good! Thank you for this!
Currently obsessed! Thank you for sharing
OMG vegan cheese sauce I'm not allergic to! I could actually make this! I can't eat nuts or white beans, and this is the first recipe I've ever found that I can make! Thank you!! I think I'll surprise my family with this tonight! ^_^
Edit: It turned out great! My first try was too runny, but my wife loved it so much she ate it as a soup. I used red potatoes because that's all I had on hand, and the recipe didn't need more than 1/2 cup water, but honestly it was still a little too runny. I think red potatoes just have enough water as-is to work by themselves. Another bonus: The red potato skins looked like bacon bits in the cheese! We put them on tofu tacos this evening and they were delicious! My family is in heaven! Thank you!!
@mOL3ify
happy for you too!!!
my son ( 27 now )
has a life threatening allergy to ANY nuts, even if the residue gets on his skin he’ll break out in huge welts and eyes swollen shut lips swollen and ER if no Benadryl or EPIPEN..
glad to know this amazing recipe!
Best of health
God bless and take care 🌱
Just made the fat-free sauce - it's amazing! So good and cheesy, hard to believe it's all veggies and spices! 🤩
Omg!! I just made this! Followed your recipe exactly and I am sooo impressed and excited!! I made the one with cashews! Thank you!
Yum! I can't wait to try it!
I can’t wait to try this!! Thank you.
This sauce is delicious! I am so happy to finde your channel! We are the family of 5 (3 kids) and just starten our full-vegan journey. With your recepies is soooo much easier! I learn a lot from you, Sister! ♥️
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Greetings from Germany!
We love this video! We love your recipes! Would love to share this video on our healthy-oriented channel, but this one has no Creative Commons for reuse, unlike many others of yours. We are asking for permission. BTW we are two 80-year-old vegans and feel better than ever! Thanks so much.
This is the most incredible and better than any I have made! I did use the cashews and nutr yeast! ❤️ so good! I have 2 1/2 bottles left!
Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!
I love your videos and how structured you present everything, and even with alternatives! And you don't make it too complicated! Perfect! :)
I just made the cashew version (plus I added 1T of organic taco seasoning) and it was FANTASTIC! I’ve been looking for a good alternative to cheese sauce for awhile and I think I’ve tried them all. The one with oatmeal tastes, well, like oatmeal, with the consistency of glue. The one where you cook onions and garlic in broth first, is too much work. The all-cashew kind, too high fat. The one with russet potatoes, too grainy. This one is just perfect! I’ve been meaning to make it ever since I found your channel through the eat-your-veg challenge last month, but didn’t get around to it until today, and now I get it. It’s definitely a game changer! Thank you! 🥰
Fantastic!!!... I will so try this!! Thank you!
I love this recipe, especially over your cheese chili fries. Thank you for posting it in the description
I JUST MADE THIS AND IT’S AWESOME! Yes I’M SHOUTING! KIKI, YOU TOTALLY ROCK! 🙏🙌👍😘
I made this along with your southwest egg rolls for dinner and it was a hit with my family. Thanks for the amazing recipes! You are so fun to watch.
I made it today and I absolutely loved it!!!! Thank you :)
Can't wait to try this!!!!
Wow this cheese sauce is legit amazing. Even my carnivore husband loves it! Thank you so very very much for posting this. I was too intimidated to try making my own vegan cheese until I watched your video. 💕
Best Vegan Cheese sauces I've found!!! Even my husband is crazy about them. Thank you for sharing♡♡♡
BEYOND excited to try this 💯
Just FINALLY made it! Yum!!!
Kiki, I love your channel and you! 💕 You are so down to earth and relatable, which is rare to find with lifestyle UA-camrs, and SO appreciated! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with this lifestyle. I have been binging your videos ever since I found you. I love the simplicity in your meals. You are wonderful!!! 💜💜💜
Seriously this cheese sauce is soooo good that I grabbed a spoon and you can imagine what happened from there. LOL. TY Kiki for sharing your recipes. I have 3 boys and there is no way to transition them off of cheese without this cheese sauce!!! You're the best!!!! xoxo
Thank you! This worked out perfectly.
So excited for this recipe!!
This sauce!!!!, omgeee I made it last night and It is amazing!! We are hooked! Thank you so much for this!
Thank you ❤....Girl I'm loving it. I made your second version of the cheese sauce and it's awesome. This will definitely be my go-to sauce.
This looks absolutely delicious! I’ve been missing cheese sauce ❤️
Thank You so much! I can wait to make it!
Just tried the one with cashews and it’s so good and my new go-to recipe! Thank you for sharing!
Wow......this cheese sauce is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing. I just made both of them and they are truly delicious. The cashew option does win over the 2, but as I'm trying to lose weight, I will be good on the fat free version as it is still really yummy. My family is going to love having this with their dinner tonight. Thank you too for all your inspiration, it's so encouraging and I love that your meal options are family orientated and relate to foods that we are all used to having grown up with. So good to know that we are eating healthy on the WFPB way of life and with a cheese sauce like this, it feels like a decadent splurge.
Just made this....delicious!! Thank you!
Devine! Thank you for sharing!
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing so much, I've learned so much from you in the past few weeks & my 4 year old loves the vids about what your kids eat. She helped me make the pancakes yesterday & devoured them & I made this cheese sauce today & we all devoured it. It was so delicious:-) thank you
OMG I just made your low fat cheese sauce and it is DELICIOUS! Thank you for this great video :0)
Love your videoes!!!! Thanks for all you do!!
Looks delish Kiki. Thank you for sharing. Will be giving these a go in the coming days. Can't believe I haven't come across your channel before. A new Subscriber for sure.
Thank you for not being "professional". I have never thought of doing this, and it is GENIUS!
Wow! This is sooooooo delicious! I could eat this as cheese soup! I've been wanting to make it for a while & today was the day. Addicting!
Kiki thank you for being so real like that
Love this!
Hey Kiki! Next time you make a batch, try it with 1-2 tsp of marmite!!! Makes it taste like sharp cheese, so good with mac!!!
What is marmite? Thanks
Maybe leave out the salt and replace with Marmite? Sounds yummy!
Ahhh I've just found you and I'm so glad. Your information is amazing. Thank you 🙏following you on Instagram also. I'm vegetarian but trying to find more ways and ideas of becoming vegan. You are great!!!!!!!!
I’m doing this tomorrow so excited 😆
This stuff is amazing! I'm hooked. Thank you.
Seriously the best cheese sauce! I used the low fat one and it’s amazing. 🥰🥰

Hi! Yes I can do that!! It’s sooo simple and I have to make more so....I will do that this week!
Wow!! I just made this for the first time and it was so so good! I added the cashews since you convinced me it is just a little in each serving. I am going to put this on everything!
OMG This is a game changer!! WOW Thank You! Thank You!
Made the cheese sauce recipe tonight and absolutely loved it!
