Kraft Mac & Cheese Vegan:

To kick off this vegan mac and cheese list, we are starting with the brand most people should be familiar with - Kraft.

Kraft Mac & Cheese is a well-recognised brand, and thankfully they now offer a vegan version of their popular mac and cheese range. This alternative features a dairy-free cheese sauce, allowing those following a vegan lifestyle to enjoy the familiar and savoury taste of Kraft Mac & Cheese. To prepare, users typically add plant-based milk and vegan margarine or oil for richness. Equally exciting is the Kraft Mac & Cheese Vegan is also gluten free.

The beauty about the Kraft Mac & Cheese Vegan is that it is highly accessible at most major supermarkets in Australia.
