Vegan Cashew Cheese
This vegan food is the perfect recipe to change up your weekly at-home dining. A dish the whole family will love. Just don’t tell the kids it’s made with nuts!
A simple, delicious recipe that can make a huge, positive impact on your health. Cutting out dairy in your diet can help improve your digestion and clear up some skin conditions like acne. As well, dairy can make the body feel sluggish. Limiting dairy can help you feel more energized.
Replacing traditional milk products with almond milk-based products makes a difference. Limit cheese to rare occasions. One of my favorite recipes made with parmesan cheese is my Classic Caesar Salad!
Yogurts have been replaced with coconut milk yogurt. As for the controversial coconut and saturated fat, as my dear friend JJ Virgin pointed out – eating coconut anything is better than eating preservative filled “stuff”. Dairy yogurts have now been replaced with coconut “yogurt”. Try it. It’s pretty darn delicious.
In this recipe for Cashew Cheese, raw cashews are soaked for at least 5 hours in water and then drained and pureed with delicious ingredients like one of my favorite spices, cumin, white pepper to keep the black specs out, lemon juice and unsweetened coconut milk. Chill and you have a delicious cheese that happens to be vegan. Use it on pizzas, as a snack, and for our non-vegan friends, like me, spread it on chicken sandwiches, or just use it as a cool, tasty dip.
