Ok Ok….Embarrassed to ask as I am a veteran smoothie maker. What is nutritional yeast? Anxious to try this with my Wild Side. Thanks.
It’s like a powder that you can buy at health-food stores. It’s used in a lot of vegan recipes and has kind of a cheesy, nutty flavor.
Thank you so much LinzA for your knowledge. I’ll find it!
Be sure to get nutritional yeast; not brewer’s or baking. And I prefer the flakes; seem to measure more accurately to recipes and easy to work with. Great on buttered popcorn with chili powder and salt.
This is amazing! My girlfriend and I got the recipe email & tried it the same night! We did the high speed for 180 seconds. I am excited to try it on soup twice to see if the consistency changes. It would be great for broccoli as well, nutritional yeast is my fav! Thanks for the yummy recipe!
