Before I get into this delicious vegan cashew nut cheese recipe, lets talk about food in general. Over the past few years I’ve really been looking at what I eat and where it comes from. My whole life I’ve avoided red meat simply because I don’t feel good when I eat it, it slows down my digestive system and I feel tired because of it. But recently I tend to avoid it because of how the animals are treated. The only meats I do eat are poultry, fish and occasionally bacon if I know it’s quality, hey I’m far from perfect. chicken is just as bad as beef, but for now it’s still in my diet. After watching various documentaries about food, where it comes from, the truth about raising animals for food, the health of those animals and the amount of food waste there is in the world, it’s making me really take a moment to think about what I consume regularly. I eat way more plant based meals each week and meat has become a luxury I consume less often.
Here’s some documentaries you should check out Just Eat It, Cowspiracy, Forks Over Knives
I have not become vegan, or plan on becoming vegan, I am taking a better look at what I eat, realizing where it comes from and what goes into making it. Yes I do eat dairy, milk and cheese, no I’m not cutting it out of my diet, I’m just trying to consume less of it and replace a few meals with plant based alternatives. Overall I’m trying to be more conscious of my food choices, not just with meat but with produce too, trying to keep it local as much as possible.
So lets talk about vegan cashew nut cheese, it’s a great alternative to dairy and just as delicious. You can put this stuff on anything. Toast, crackers, veggies, sandwiches or eat it with a spoon.
