A nut free, vegan queso! Most vegan queso recipes use cashews or almonds which are great options but for a queso lover like me, the cost adds up quickly. Plus I know there are nut free people who can’t have them at all! So this recipe is for you guys and the people like me who just like saving money (because then you can spend more at Target! haha). This recipe is also paleo and gluten free. Hope you enjoy!

Orange or red bell pepper- diced
Full fat coconut milk
Nutritional yeast

Recipe Tips:
I think having a blender that works really well is key to giving this recipe the best texture! I have a Vitamix and couldn’t recommend them more. I use it daily for smoothies, sauces, ice cream, dressings, soups, and more! No chunks in food and you can’t beat the warranty they have! Definitely a splurge item but probably my favorite kitchen gadget.
