Cashew Cheddar Cheeze



About this recipe:
We all know that cheese is not the best thing to eat, yet its irresistible. I came across this recipe for a nut 'cheeze' that tasted shockingly close to the real thing. The nutty cheese flavor is accentuated by nutritional yeast, which is safe to eat when you have candida. It is a great source of B complex vitamins and amino acids. Nice to spread it on a cracker...or two.


Ingredients:
• 1/2 red bell pepper
• 1/4 c. filtered water
• 1 c. raw cashew nuts
• 1 T raw tahini
• 2 T nutritional yeast
• 1.5 t. high mineral salt
• 2 t. union powder
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 T lemon juice

1. Blend in a blender with an S blade until a smooth consistency. Add more water if it feels too thick.
2. Store in an air tight container for up to two weeks, although it probably won't last that long.
