Refreshing Bites I had given up dairy for quite some time now, though I still crave it. I’ve come to learn that dairy is highly inflammatory and can cause hormonal issues because it contains the cow’s own estrogen. If you’re suffering from acne or hormonal issues I would take this out of your diet. It can also cause osteoporosis because it removes the calcium from our bones.
I’ve tried store-bought vegan cheeses but those are full of preservatives and odd ingredients. So those aren’t any healthier. When we would go to the theaters to watch a movie I used to love to order nachos and cheese. So this super simple vegan cheese recipe kills those cravings. It contains no nutritional yeast and is made of vegetables. I use tamari in this recipe so if you have a soy allergy I’d replace it with coconut aminos and sea salt. I love eating this with cassava grain-free nachos chips and my gluten-free crackers.

Let’s Make Some Cheese!
You’ll Need:
- Two Potatoes
- Carrot
- Small Onion
- Garlic Clove
- Unsweetened Vegan Milk ( I used almond milk )
- Lemon Juice
- Paprika
- Olive Oil
- Dijon Mustard or Brown Mustard
- Tamari Sauce ( Can also use Coconut Aminos or Soy Sauce )
- Pink Himalayan Salt or Sea salt
- Food processor or high-speed blender.
Cube the potatoes and carrots. I like to keep the skin on the potatoes since they are packed full of nutrients. Chop up the onions and mince the garlic. Place in steamer basket and steam for 8 – 12 minutes until fork tender.
While vegetables are steaming add the almond milk, lemon juice, garlic, salt, paprika, mustard and tamari sauce into a food processor or high-speed blender.
Once the vegetables have finished cooking place them in the food processor with the rest of the ingredients.
Blend all ingredients till all it’s all blended smoothly, about 1 – 2 minutes.
Pour in small bowl and serve, enjoy!
