The nuts are essential to this recipe so, unfortunately, there aren’t any substitutes. You can check out our Amazing Vegan Cheese Sauce which doesn’t have nuts: http://www.blendtec.com/rec… However, it will be difficult to find any "cheese" recipes without sodium.
We’re thrilled you enjoyed this recipe as much as we do! Thanks for letting us know. :)
Are you allowed seeds? Maybe raw, unsalted sunflower seeds could be a possible sub? My husband has food allergies including nuts, so I use sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds as a sub a lot. It definitely has a very different flavor than nuts, so that’s important to consider.
I did not realize that different brands had different flavor profiles. So far I have only tried one and it’s ok, but not something I’m crazy about (yet). Thanks for the info!
Good point to mention avoiding different kids of active yeasts. That could get real bad, real fast!
