Friday Fun! (Raw Vegan “Cheese”)
Hello my lovely readers and a special welcome to the new ones who’ve found me through The Real Help Reading Project!! Be sure to follow my tumblr for quotes from the books as I read them (plus fitspo, veg stuff, items on the obesity epidemic, social justice, and cute kitties).
Earlier this week I tweeted about a raw vegan “cheese” recipe I made that tasted amazeballs, and a whole slew of you who follow me over there asked for the recipe. I am ever so happy to oblige, because a) it’s yummy and b) it’s healthy. Win/win
Sour Cream Cheese
Season with garlic, chives, your fave spices and herbs. Experiment!
1 cup cashews
1/2 cup water
1.5 Tablespoons lemon juice
Sea salt, to taste
2 inches of a leek or 4 inches of green onion
1 Tablespoon fresh dill or 1 teaspoon dried dill
1 Tablespoon fresh basil or 1 teaspoon dried basil
Ready for what you do? It is literally this easy.
1. Put all ingredients in blender or food processor.
2. Blend.
3. Refrigerate until chilled.
4. Lasts up to 5 days in the fridge.
And you’re done. Isn’t raw vegan food fun?
This recipe is from Raw Food: A Complete Guide for Every Meal of the Day
Also, for the record, this is amazing on tacos. Amazing. Who needs shredded cheddar when you’ve got this?
Happy weekends all!!

Did you use raw or roasted cashews… my lactose intolerant body needs more recipes like this.
Oh, raw! But I suppose you could use roasted if you wanted……
This actually sounds rather yum and so simple! One thing I noticed though what’s a green onion?? Is this by any chance maybe what the english call a spring onion? Haha I’m afraid I’m a little lost in translation 🙂
A green onion is, apparently, a colloquial term for a scallion. Does that look like a spring onion to you? I have no idea. Lol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scallion
Yep that’s a spring onion alright lol
