Raw Cashew Cheese – Video Recipe Tutorial

Back to ALL Articles List

Dear Yoga Student,

I make most of my own food, so it’s really
important to me that my food is (a) good
and (b) easy.

On holidays and things, I don’t mind spending
a couple hours in the kitchen, but mostly, I
just want to grab something that’s fast, healthy
and delicious.

On a plant-based diet, nuts and seeds are an
amazing source for protein, healthy fats, and
minerals – and with some simple preparation,
you can make some really decadent foods.

Here is one of my favorites, cashew nut cheese
(I may have sent you this recipe before, but I
got so many emails wanting to “see” it that I
figured a video was best).

*RECIPE*
1 part water
2 parts cashews
miso paste to taste (chickpea miso is a good choice)

*IMPORTANT TIPS*

1 – If your blender is weak, you may need to blend
for 3-5 minutes, carefully using a spatula to mix

2 – You will be tempted to add MORE cashews because
it will look TOO thin – don’t do it! As they blend, it’ll get
thicker and thicker.

3 – Make sure you add all the ingredients together before
you start. Adding things slowly will not work.

Enjoy!

Stay bendy,

Lucas

    Hi Lucas.
    Do you soak the cashews prior to mixing for the cashew cheese?

    @Kim – no need to soak. Just toss them in raw. If your blender is very weak, soaking can help. – LR

    Looks like an excellent salad dip! But cashew is expensive in my place, it is possible to replace it with pea nut?
