Description

This isn’t the boxed stuff from childhood—it’s a creamy, comforting powerhouse packed with protein and veggies. My sister and I made this one night after a long day, and it instantly became a favorite. Tender pasta, melty cheese, and hidden greens make it the kind of meal that feels indulgent but fuels your body. A go-to for busy days when you still want to eat smart.


Ingredients

Scale

2 cups cooked protein pasta (like @enjoybrami)

1 large scoop plain yogurt

1 slice goat milk cheddar cheese

1 tbsp white cheddar (or from @jovialfoods)

Dash of milk

1 tbsp nutritional yeast

½ cup cooked chicken, shredded

½ cup zucchini, sautéed

½ cup broccoli florets, lightly steamed


Instructions

In a pan, melt cheddar cheese with milk and yogurt over low heat.

Stir in nutritional yeast for extra cheesy flavor.

Add cooked chicken, broccoli, and zucchini.

Fold in cooked pasta and mix gently until coated in sauce.

Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, hearty goodness.

Notes

Balanced, filling, and full of flavor—this is mac & cheese that gives more than comfort. It gives strength.
