Vegan macaroni and cheese with broccoli is a rich and creamy bowl of comfort food. My family calls it Mac and Trees!

My kidloves mac and cheese, but the boxed macs (vegan or not) arent exactly health food. Theyre high in salt and usually have zero vegetables. This vegan macaroni and cheese with broccoli is my home-spun version thats a lot healthierand almost as easy to throw together. Just make the blender sauce while the macaroni cooks, then toss it all together at the end.

This sauce is quick and easy in a high speed blender, but you can make it in a regular blender. In this video, I use my Nutribullet, but Ive made this sauce many times in my now-broken 2006 Magic Bullet. It takes longer, but its totally doable. Just dont give up! Keep scraping down the sides and blending more until you reach a smooth, creamy consistency. A lump-free sauce is key to making your Mac and Treessuper delicious, so its worth the extra time!
