Recipes for Nutritional Yeast - Besides on Popcorn!
You may have heard of nutritional yeast flakes before, and there’s good reason, especially if you’re a vegan!
Nutritional Yeast is an incredible product that has a slight cheesy taste, but it is also packed full of nutrients, including all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein like those found in animal products. Nutritional Yeast also contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B3, potassium, calcium, iron and vitamin B12 - it’s honestly a nutrient powerhouse!
While it may be a nutrient powerhouse, you may be wondering “How to use nutritional yeast flakes?”, whether that is cooking or just using nutritional yeast as a salad topper.
Below you will find new ways on how to use nutritional yeast in cooking and not in the typical fashion of sprinkling it over your salads or popcorn.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS - USE IT AS A TOPPER:
If the above recipes for nutritional yeast seem a bit above your cooking skills, simply adding nutritional yeast as a topper to many recipes is a great way for you to add a great nutritional boost if you’re a vegan looking to add some more protein, calcium or B12 into their diet - 1 mere tbsp of nutritional yeast provides three times the daily requirement for B12 in adults!
Pictured above are even more recipes for nutritional yeast that you can attempt to make yourself, but if you already have a recipe of your own in mind that could use a little cheesy, savoury topping then go ahead and sprinkle some nutritional yeast on top - it’s by far one of the most popular nutritional yeast usage out there!
Nutritional yeast can really be added to so many meals that you probably already make, so adding in an extra cheesy nutritional boost isn’t going to hurt and is definitely recommended if you are vegan or looking to explore a vegan diet.
Pasta with nutritional yeast is always a winner, including this Lentil Spaghetti Bolonaise recipe.
Alternatively sprinkle some on top of your mushroom risotto dish or how about on some meaty tempeh balls?
Whatever nutritional yeast usage you opt for, just making this ingredient a key component of your diet is an important one and honestly shouldn’t be overlooked.
