Description

If you are looking for a tasty, vegan, protein snack that also packs an amazing healthy boost of shiitake mushroom -- look no further!

That’s because these vegan shiitake cheese balls are perfect in almost every way!  -- They are the ideal snack for virtually any gathering, holiday, for a nutritional boost or any reason at all.

Not only will everyone be delighted with the cheesy, salty flavor, but you will also love how easy these snacks are to make.

The main ingredient is nutritional yeast, a complete protein and a great source of B vitamins. But the real star of the show is shiitake mushroom because shiitake has traditionally been used as a powerful immune system booster for thousands of years.

To best support the nutritional yeast and shiitake, this awesome recipe uses fresh vegetables and other nutrient-dense powders as a binder to give the cheese ball the perfect shape, taste, and consistency. If you are not vegan, feel free to place a small piece of mozzarella cheese in the center before rolling your cheese balls.
