You don’t need to be a vegan to appreciate dairy-free cheese. Cashews are loaded with vitamins and minerals, and their nutty, buttery flavor is enough to make even a dairy-lover put down the cheddar. Try it on just about anything—or simply as a dip with your favorite tortilla chips!
First things first: Soak your cashews for 2–6 hours before making, if possible. It won’t ruin the recipe not to, but I recommend it.
Ingredients
1 cup cashews
1 tablespoon lemon
3 tablespoons avocado oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 scoops of Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/4 cup water or more
Optional: 1/2 clove garlic
Throw all ingredients on a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth!
