Nutritional yeast.??

A friend of ours who I helped lose a bunch of weight last year was telling me about this and asked if I ever used it. She's been using it as a "cheese seasoning" to help add flavor and protein.
We mixed 4 table spoon with a cup of fat free cottage cheese and a tablespoon of taco seasoning and it makes a spicy cheese sauce thats just protein. I ate it with raw broccoli and was pretty impressed , it would make a great low calorie snack , it's loaded with vitamin and mineral as well.

Might me a good option for those looking to add some flavor to veggies or something

It’s a good seasoning for me, use it all the time.

Sprinkle it on your popcorn, it’s the best.

I used to use it a bunch when I ate mostly vegetarian for a period time. Its supposed to have good vitamin Bs in it.

It imparts a ‘umami’ taste (the fifth flavor) and a cheesy flavor too but I don’t get it that part.

My wife uses it in her vegan version of Avgolemono soup and also her tofu scramble.

My fave is with popcorn. Unbeatable.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely try it out.

When my step-daughter was young we called it nutritional cheese and put in in the parmesan cheese container and she never batted an eye at it in place of parmesan on spaghetti or other stuff.
