Going vegan does not mean you have to give up some of life’s little pleasures—like silky smooth, decadent, savory queso. Our friend Chef Amber from plant-forward healthy eating advocates The Naked Bite has come up with a good one. 

Your standard grocery store vegan cheese may be a divisive topic, but there’s nothing up for argument about the vegan queso Chef Amber has whipped up. Creamy JOI nutbase comes together with roasted red peppers (a sure-fire way to take any recipe up a notch) and rich spices to create a plant-based, gluten-free, vegan queso like no other. It’s hands down delicious, 100% whole-food, and entirely guilt free—not to mention a great addition to your next potluck, game day, girls’ night, or family dinner snack spread. Pro tip: it’s also great on tacos.

We suggest getting a second bag of tortilla chips—Vegan Queso made with JOI will go fast. Here’s the recipe:
