It has been brought to our attention that rice milk, being naturally sweet and thin, is not a good choice for mac and cheese. Please do not make the same mistake we did. Only you can prevent unnecessarily sweet mac & cheese. Thank you.

Johnny Bawbag Can you present factual evidence to back that up? Ironic that someone calling plant cheeses 'unnatural' probably drinks the milk of another species - that tends to be filled with literal hormones, pus cells (because the teats of many dairy cows get infected due to the atrocious conditions), casomorphines and antibiotics. nutritionfacts.org/2011/09/08/how-much-pus-is-there-in-milk/ If you really cared about what was natural, you'd still be drinking your mother's milk from her teat, or better yet, you'd have allowed yourself to be weaned. Plant milks are usually made from two incrediants: Nuts (or grains in the case of rice) and water, blended together. No forced, artifical impregnation or kidnapping required, unlike what's done to procure a cow's breast milk.

Johnny Bawbag I guess I expected too much of you There are multiple dictionary definitions of the word (ex: the white juice of certain plants.) So using the SJW tactic of trying to pass off a single definition as the be all, end all has done nothing for your point.

Johnny Bawbag I'm not adding anything. Go to Google and type "Milk definition" then click 'translations and more definitions and then read the definitions. Should take less than ten minutes and a minimal amount of effort. SJWs are notorious for clinging to a single definition of a word and trying yo argue samantics such as when or how that word can be used. That is essentially what you did.

four years ago I used to only be able to find the frozen Amy’s mac & Chreeze and I didn't mind it. It definitely has a weird flavor to it though! Now I go to my neighborhood grocery store and I can find three different brands. I love that the world of vegan mac & cheese is growing.
Rice milk is naturally quite sweet, so maybe that’s why a lot of them tasted a little sweet :-)

Liz is right. The spongebob ones tasted way better. It's just science
CHAO is the King of vegan cheese. Anything made by field roast is fantastic
Daiya is actually really good if you add nutritional yeast, mustard, garlic powder and black pepper. Out of the box it’s a bit bland and tastes incomplete, but if you spruce it up it really sets it off.

True!! The only brand of vegan cheese where I live is Daiya, and while I don’t mind any of it plain I looove adding spices to the daiya mac and cheese whenever I eat it. I usually only eat it when that craving for mac and cheese hits though lmao
Didn't know Ed Sheehan was vegan. I'm really surprised.
I had four vegan boxed mac and cheese videos that I needed to watch today, but then I found this one. Thanks for an excellent video and for saving me so much time! I've also been meaning to say that the closing kitchen cleanup montage is always very soothing to me.
Right when I saw you had the Chao Mac and cheese I’m glad you guys also enjoyed it! It is SOOOO good especially when you add it instead of sour cream into a chili!
I really enjoy your videos, keep them coming guys!
Been looking forward to this video! ps liz you are SO GORGEOUS!!!
Am I the only person who actually likes Daiya? lol. I love it. Chao is my favorite, but I love a good daiya block.

Thank you for posting this. Great info.
Definetly would not have used rice milk... that honestly sounds terrible. It has like 15 grams of sugar per serving at least, even the unsweetened. Unsweetened coconut or soymilk is the way to go. Maybe even hemp
The music you played sounded very familiar to me so I had to check the info box to see if you tagged it and YUP its Aquarius! My fave song from Hair. Awesome video!
Everyone has such different taste buds. I'm obsessed with Amy's frozen mac&cheese I would eat it for every meal if I could
I've tried some of these, but I bet it is really interesting to taste and compare them like this.

I just love the name of your chanel :) so on point
Oh I have to find that Annie’s cheddar one now! I’ve only ever seen the sweet potato & pumpkin flavor (which is fine because I actually really love it). Great video as always guys!
I was just talking about vegan mac and cheese last night! I share I agree with you guys on so many of these: Annie's, Daiya and Amy's and I'm excited to try the rest! I love your videos

My love for Mac and cheese cannot be understated but I became lactose intolerant and then ended up going vegan anyways so I’ve been on the hunt for the best either homemade or store bought Mac and cheese. Mac and Chao is my saving grace. It’s the best one. So creamy and doesn’t taste like nooch or cashews.
I’m watching this as I eat my Daiya mac and cheese! 😂❤️

Whaaaaaat. Amy's is my favorite vegan mac & cheese! The Daiya alfredo is pretty good too if you mix in some veggies.
This video was perfectly produced. Thank you.
That Annie’s pumpkin sweet potatoe one is sooooo good! If you’re expecting cheese it’s meh but it’s so good for its own thing.
I love Daiya. Over the weekend I made vegan jackfruit enchiladas with shredded Daiya cheddar and mozarella and non-vegans thought the enchiladas were made with meat and dairy cheese. I'm also a fan of Amy's rice mac n cheeze. :)

I really like Chao slices, so I'm excited to try their mac now!
It's so crazy how many vegan channels have such drastically different opinions on the same product. Totally agree with you guys the most. Keep doing you
Honestly tho thanks for doing this so now I don’t have to stress over trying to find the vegan Mac from the Annie’s brand. I was obsessed wanting to try it but now I can save my money!

Harley Carter I think it’s delicious!
the daiya cheddar and alfredo mixed together is amazing. or make your own. nooch, unsweetened milk, garlic and onion powder, smoked paprkia and whatever else you wanna add, all according to taste.
My favorite way to make the Annie's mac and cheese is substituting the plant milk with tofutti sour cream! It's soooo good.
That shoulda been a house party tasting... And I shoulda been invited! Chao is my favorite but I've never tried Roads End. Thx. Love these vids.
I can’t wait to try the chao cheeze one but of all the other ones my favorite is the daiya. 😋🌱🙌🏻
I'm eating Leahey Gardens macaroni & cheese while watching this and I'm in heaven! It tastes so much like Kraft to me that if i hadn't bought it at a vegan grocery store, I'd have gone to recheck the ingredients! You guys have to try this one.
The daiya Mac and cheese is actually my favorite out of all the ones I've had (which is a lot) I use unsweetened almond milk with it and add some pepper and it's amazing!
I would just like to say that as a kid, I also loved mac 'n' cheese with canned tuna. We're a special community of people.
recently just tried the Road's End mac too. I got all 4 varieties... so far the Green box is our favorite one! I think it's their version of the Kraft blue box.
Literally all the ones they hate, I love! I think the flavour of the Daiya and the Amy’s is soooo good!
I've tasted the daiya one and I can confirm that it tastes like melted plastic. It was disgusting, I couldn't even finish it. I'm glad you guys didn't like it either because I've seen a lot of vegan youtubers claim that they liked it 🤢
So excited! Omg
Annie's cheddar flavor is my favorite too. Earth Balance used to make a really delicious vegan mac & cheese. The key to making Annie's is to stir enough buttery spread to coat well, then stir in the cheese powder do it dissolves well. Then add more plant milk (unsweetened plain almond works great) than the package says, over medium high heat. Mix, making certain the cheesy powder dissolves completely into the plant milk. Stir occasionally until cheese sauce starts bubbling ( strong dimmer), and thick. This gives a much tastier Mac & cheese than following package I nstructions. Adding thawed frozen peas, or toasted veggies such as broccoli or cauliflower takes it to another level, makes it more filling, and healthier.
I completely agree with Liz, the sponge bob shaped pasta made the mac and cheese experience a thousand percent better.
I have tried all of these and the cheddar daiya is actually my fav and go-to vegan mac!! so crazy because I do not like day cheese for the most part but the Mac is yummy!! I mix it with vegan chili and it's to DIE FOR!!
I enjoyed Age of Aquarius bumping in the back 🙌🏾. Very nice
Daiya alfredo style is my favorite!!! I always season it how i like tho
I actually love the daiya! reminds me so much of Kraft
Liz (not vegan) Ed Sheeran (vegan)
Amy's was the first and only vegan Mac and cheese I've tried years ago and I hated it so much (smell, flavor, texture) that it turned me off from wanting to try any other vegan mac and cheese. Glad to see you guys thought it was gross as well and gives me hope that not all vegan mac and cheese is repulsive :D
I love the Daiya! I even get the pouches now and make my own and add in roasted broccoli and roasted garbanzo beans 🤤
i love the amy's dairy/gluten free mac and cheese (last one) lol. Used to eat it everyday with some pepper and avo. Everyone hates it whenever I watch taste test vids but I think it rocks
The Chao is really good. I've only had it once but it was on clearance for 2.50 ! I also enjoy the creaminess of the Daiya but I really have a hard time with the smell. It smells like Elmers glue to me.
Tuna Mac!! hahaha. used to love making that into a casserole when i was younger.
I watched this whole video thinking your shirt said “acid” and I was honestly here for it
"Colored glue!" .. haha!😅
So jealous the daiya mac is the only one by me! Also cashew milk goes the best in my opinion, thanks for sharing!
I didn't know Chao made Mac & Cheese! I have to try it! Also you guys are so cute. lol
i love the road's end mac n cheese!!!!! its my go to. but daiya really isnt that bad, it was my first veg cheese taste and it was pretty good! it tasted a lot like normal mac and cheese
I think I'm going vegetarian/vegan in the new year! I'm currently dealing with alot of health issues and switching my diet would be difficult because I cant walk on my own right now. But as soon as I'm in the clear (2 months or so to go prayerfully) I'll be trying that Chao one!
My grandma bought me daiya Mac and cheese yesterday I can't wait until I try it I know it will the vegan Mac and cheese I have in the cover 🌱❤️
Yummmmmm, nothing like mac and cheeze:) I've only ever tried the Daiya one, and it is quite delicious!
Mac and cheese with tuna is amazing !! My mom used to make it for us as children and I still eat it as an adult !
Now I'm craving tuna mac. Good job.
My favorites are Daiya Cheddar or Alfredo and Amy's. I have had those three, Annie's, and Chao.
Daaaaamn the Diaya shade is real

Great editing.
Was shocked you guys liked Road's end. I thought it was awful. And I recently saw a couple other vids where they agreed. i think the concensus is none of them are really worth the money. I gotta try making my own
Right on girllll that's exactly why I used to buy the shaped noodles 😂

The daiya mac and cheese is actually pretty good. I really like it, it reminds me a bit of the velveeta shells and cheese I used to get.
Awesome! Love this! If Liz is still not Vegan, what types of animal products does she consume daily, weekly, monthly, etc? Love both of you, just curious. :)
They make little packets of the that Roads End Chreese which is pretty good to just cook up and put on bread as a grilled cheese sandwich!
I loooove your MCID shirt 🤘💙🤘
Road's End has been around forever. I went vegan like 15 years ago and there were not a lot of options, but Road's End was there! Classic.
Yum! Making my own vegan "Mac N' Cheese" right now :D but I'm using a pumpkin base and whole wheat pasta.
I like the Annie’s creamy one with a bit of tofutti and earth balance in the sauce and served with sriracha
I also really love the Annie's Vegan Mac
the best one is the newest annies that is vegan cheddar! that one actually has a great consitency and flavor.
The daiya one is only good if you cook it per the package and then bake it with breadcrumbs on top! 😍
Glad you thought Upton's was weird. If you didn't, I'd just not trust you. I sooo want to try the Chao, but can't find it!
I just finished a black bean burrito, with rice and tomatoes.... omg!! That too I think is an Amy’s product

My favorite is the Annie’s cheddar flavor as well! Tastes like a healthier version of the Kraft Mac n’ cheese, but without the cruelty 😁
Liz looking strong!! 😍💪
Fun! Daiya has my vote!
My favorite is Upton's. The texture of the noodles doesn't bother me, and I love the sauce! Also good is Howl--very tart/sharp. My favorite used to be Roads End. I need to try that one again. I do not like the ones that have sweet ingredients like carrots and sweet potatoes.
Chao is sooo good
Wasn’t expecting to see a MCID shirt when I clicked on this video 👌🏻👍🏻
