Cheesy Quinoa Bowl

There isn’t anything much better than a delicious creamy cheesy sauce if you ask me, and you don’t have to look any further for that than to one of my favorite brands, @wayfare_foods! I absolutely love their jalapeno cheddar nacho cheese sauce so when they asked if I’d make a recipe with it, I said yes faster than you can say ‘cheese!’.

Eating healthy, whole, plant-based foods is just so much more fun when you have delicious sauces and spreads to join them, and WayFare is in the business of doing just that. You can still enjoy creamy comfort foods without compromising on nutrition, texture or taste. Their non-dairy products bake, cook, feel, and taste just like dairy but without all the yucky stuff. In fact, they’re free of the top 10 allergens so you can enjoy @wayfare_foods guilt-free!

It’s also a great way to get your family to eat more veggies because who doesn’t want seconds of nacho cheese?! So slather it on and enjoy this recipe. To health, vitality, and joy.
