Nutritional yeast is one of the only non-animal sources of Vitamin B-12 (and it only takes 1/2 - 1 tbsp to get in your recommended daily dose)! Nutritional yeast is also an excellent source of iron, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, chromium, and other minerals as well as 18 amino acids, protein, folic acid, biotin, and other vitamins. OH, and it tastes DELICIOUS! For you non-dairy eaters who are missing that cheesy flavor, give this a whirl.
Check out these 5 ways to use nutritional yeast to upgrade your meals!
1. Sprinkle onto some plain popcorn for a cheesy touch.
2. Use in place of cheese on a home-made pizza (or on top of our Socca Pizza Bake from this week).
3. Saute' veggies and give a few shakes of nutritional yeast (especially on some of those less palatable greens!).
4. Use in place of bread crumbs on any recipe to cut out the gluten/carbs.
5. Mix in with your mashed potatoes (or our Buttery Mashed Cauliflower).
