This is the base of the recipe I am putting together. My version: It has no regular butter, flour or milk. Using Earth Balance instead Non-GMO, Vegan with a great buttery taste/Use Almond flour, and for milk use any non-dairy milk. I prefer to use Silk Almond milk. I almost forgot about the cheese. Please try the vegan cheese sauce I have posted on my journal. You will not regret it. And for an added touch top the mac&cheese with bread crumbs(basil and garlic) before putting it in the oven. Enjoy!Now, that's Mac and Cheese vegan style. Anyone is welcomed to try it.

It sounds better to me if it were whole wheat pasta. I try always to use whole wheat breads and pastas. I prefer the pastas for their nutty taste.

I replace the mac with cauliflower, no milk, use heavy cream and use real kerrygold butter, not the light stuff, no flour, and make a bake. Works great for me. Give it a try.

Butter is forbidden on low GI, and flour and noodles are both high-GI. So if you have to have this, then only the smallest size portion.

Not good for Healthy for life (Low GI). As said before, if the noodles were changed to whole wheat and cheese to low fat then it maybe good for phase 2.

6 points a serving, about the same as the lean cuisine...but it begs the question of how much would the calorie and fat numbers drop and the fiber number rise if you used whole wheat and low-fat products...
