Other foods mentioned such as chia, lentils, blueberries, and cinnamon offer fiber, protein, and polyphenols that may help lower blood sugar more quickly and naturally.

Creamy Cashew Mac & Cheese (Double Batch – Perfect for Meal Prep!) 😋

Plant-based, fiber-packed, and ridiculously delicious. This cashew mac & cheese is a staple in our house—comfort food with a boost of nutrition!

How I Make It Efficiently:

1️⃣ Boil the pasta water—while waiting, chop the broccoli and blend remaining ingredients to make the sauce.
2️⃣ Blanch the broccoli the easy way: I place the chopped broccoli in a medium pot in the sink, then rest a strainer on top.
3️⃣ Once the pasta is done, strain it over the broccoli. The boiling water shocks it perfectly in just a few minutes. Then, I strain the broccoli and add it to the pasta.
4️⃣ Mix in the sauce, and it’s ready to go!

Ingredients:
• 2 packs (32 oz) pasta of your choice
• 1 bag fresh broccoli, chopped 🥦
• 3 cups cashews
• 2 fresh lemons, squeezed 🍋
• 3 cloves garlic 🧄
• ½ tsp turmeric
• ¼ tsp cayenne (adjust to taste!)
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• ½ tsp salt 🧂
• 1 tsp chili powder 🌶️
• Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 ½ cups water 💧

Easy to sneak in whole wheat pasta here… Once covered in sauce, you shouldn’t get any protesters! 😏

This is always a crowd pleaser! So good, so simple. Let me know if you try it!
