I Made Derek Sarno’s Viral Vegan Mac & Cheese… But Whole Food Plant-Based

Derek Sarno’s vegan mac and cheese looks fantastic - but can it be made whole food plant-based and still taste amazing? In this video, I watch through Derek’s original recipe, break down what works (and what doesn’t for WFPB), then show you the exact ingredient swaps I’d make to keep it oil-free and whole-food friendly. Finally, I cook the finished version and let my family be brutally honest about whether it actually holds up. This isn’t about “better” or “worse” — it’s about making viral vegan recipes work in real life for people eating WFPB.
