Not your Mom’s mac n’ cheese (sorry, Mom), and not the electric colored, powdered mix you’ve come to expect from boxes, either (sorry, Canada). Our sweet potato mac is the best of both worlds: a comfort food feast that’s packed with nutrient-dense, functional plant foods, including tender sweet potato, antioxidant-rich charred broccoli florets, and protein-packed Beyond Meat crumble. The cheese sauce is a creamy mixture of cashews, nutritional yeast, and a hint of paprika for deep, smoky flavor. The result? A stick-to-your ribs supper that’s teeming with plant protein, B Vitamins, phytonutrients and flavor.

Antioxidants: | Sweet potato is one of the plant kingdom’s most abundant sources of beta carotene. Beta carotene is a precursor of Vitamin A, an antioxidant that plays an important role in healthy immune function and good vision. Here, Vitamin A meets fellow antioxidants Vitamins C and E, adding up to an immune-supporting and free radical busting meal. |

B-Vitamins: | This comfort food dish happens to be an excellent source of a broad spectrum of B-vitamins, which are essential for helping our bodies to convert food into energy. The mac n’ cheese provides you with more than 100% of your daily recommended niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, Vitamin B6, and folate. Thanks to nutritional yeast and our signature beefy crumble, it’s also packed with over 200% of your recommended Vitamin B12, which is a particularly important nutrient for plant-based eaters. |
BCAAs: | Thanks to protein-packed chickpea pasta and a signature beefy crumble, our mac is an excellent source of branched chain amino acids isoleucine, valine, and leucine. These amino acids may play an important role in muscle growth and repair, and they may help athletes to maintain strong immunity and recover more quickly from training. |
Full Spectrum Protein: | With over 36 grams of protein, this dish is the real deal. We mix plant-based beefy crumble, legume pasta, nuts and nutritional yeast to provide a diverse, multi-sourced protein that delivers on key amino acids across the board. |
Glucosinolates: | Cruciferous vegetables, including the charred broccoli florets, are rich in sulfur containing compounds known as glucosinolates. When the vegetables are cut or chewed, a chemical reaction converts glucosinolates into metabolites that may help to fight pathogens, inflammation, and may even help protect against chronic disease. |
Zinc: | FireRoad mac offers you a spectrum of essential minerals, including iron, copper, manganese, and magnesium, but it’s an especially good source of zinc, a mineral that plays a vital role in maintaining strong immune health. Stronger immunity means quicker recovery and more time for the active lifestyle you love. |
