High-Protein Mac-N-Cheese
6 steps
Cook:10min
This HIGH PROTEIN MAC & CHEESE is so creamy and easy to put together with just 3 ingredients!
I know that not everyone has access to a Trader Joe’s, which is where I got the Unexpected Cheddar Spread for this recipe. If that’s the case, you can easily sub the spread for about a cup of shredded cheddar (or other type) cheese. Parmesan would go well if added as well.
