Vegan Cheesy Nachos
POV: You finally found a creamy and cheesy snack recipe that's dairy-free!
Hey, #BestNic!
Have you ever been in a situation where you didn't have many options and had to reluctantly do something that wasn't really comfortable for you? No, no. This isn't about arranged marriages, okay? 🤭
We're talking about you who might currently feel like you don't have many food choices because you've chosen to follow a healthy diet, whether it's due to allergies, being vegan, vegetarian, or because of your 2024 resolution to start loving yourself inside and out recklessly (thumbs up for you!👍)
Relatable? I got you, #BestNic! Don't be sad, because Nonanic will always be here to accompany you on that journey and provide inspiration for healthy food choices that you never thought could be so delicious.
Yes, like this one recipe. A healthy snack recipe with a cheesy taste that's MSG-free, dairy-free, and plant-based,
VEGAN CHEESY NACHOS
A healthy snack suitable for lactose intolerant individuals as well as vegan and vegetarian friends. In addition, this recipe is more digestive-friendly because the cashews used have been activated beforehand.
So, does anyone still remember why cashews need to be activated before use? Comment down below!
In my opinion, this recipe is the true definition that healthy doesn't have to be bland. 🥳
Indeed, having choices sometimes brings peace of mind. But, if you're the one eventually being chosen, don't settle for it, #BestNic! That's a red flag right there.

Bukan, bukan. Ini tuh bukan lagi ngomongin perjodohan paksa kok. 🤭
Ini ngomongin kamu yang mungkin saat ini ngerasa ga punya banyak pilihan makanan karena kamu memilih untuk menjalani diet sehat, baik itu karena memiliki riwayat alergi, vegan, vegetarian, atau karena resolusi 2024 yang ingin mulai mencintai diri sendiri luar dan dalam secara ugal-ugalan (thumbs up for you!👍)

VEGAN CHEESY NACHOS
Cemilan sehat yang cocok untuk lactose intolerant maupun teman-teman vegan dan vegetarian. Selain itu, resep ini lebih ramah cerna karena kacang mede yang dipakai telah diaktivasi sebelumnya.
Hayo, ada yang masih ingat kenapa kacang itu harus diaktivasi terlebih dahulu sebelum digunakan? Komen dibawah kalo tau, ya!
Menurutku sih resep ini adalah definisi sebenar-benarnya bahwa yang sehat itu gak harus hambar 🥳
Memang ya, punya pilihan itu kadang-kadang bikin tenang. Tapi, kalo kamu yang akhirnya dijadikan pilihan, jangan mau ya, #BestNic! Itu sih red flag namanya. 😌
