This creamy cashew cheese is rich, savory, and flavorful in all the right ways. It’s also dairy-free, unprocessed, and incredibly nourishing.

I gave up cheese a long time ago, simply because my body doesn’t like it — and neither does my skin!

Enter the tastiest cashew cheese ever, made with nutritional yeast and soaked sprouted cashews. Can’t think of anything better to satisfy my cheese cravings. It’s something I can eat my weight in, it’s really that good.

It’s delicious on nachos, mac and cheese, roasted veggies, veggie chips, and even pizza.
