If you frequent the grocery store, you have probably noticed and increase in the amount of vegan food products. People who are lactose intolerant, or those who prefer dairy-free food options, greatly appreciate the increase in vegan food substitutes. That said, many of these products contain a lot of processed ingredients and excess sodium. Unfortunately, that is not great news for your health, which is why we always encourage people to make their own homemade versions, for example, this vegan cream cheese.

Cashew cream cheese is the perfect spread for bread, crackers, bagels, and more. It also makes for a great dip and you can incorporate it into all sorts of no-bake appetizers or desserts, such as cheesecake or cream cheese truffles. Not only is this cream cheese dairy-free, but it is also gluten-free, grain-free, paleo, and easy to prepare. You only need a blender and three simple ingredients: cashews, coconut oil, and lemon juice. Sea salt, nutritional yeast, and onion powder are listed as optional ingredients on the ingredient list. You can easily flavor your cream cheese with one, two, or all of those ingredients!

This recipe requires you to soak the cashews in boiling water for about 15 to 20 minutes. This helps to soften the cashews, allowing them to blend smoothly. Let’s face it: nobody wants a grainy or nutty cream cheese. Soaking the cashews helps make this spread the creamiest vegan cream cheese ever! Although you can use a high-speed blender, a food processor will yield a creamier consistency. Let us know how you like it in the comments below.

The holidays are filled with love, joy, merriment, family, and lots and lots of food. Too often are holiday dishes rich, heavy, and filled with unhealthy fats and excess salt. The worst part is that these unhealthy dishes are not just at the big holiday gathering. Coffee shops, work parties, gatherings with friends, and other events during this time of year feature an assortment of fattening foods. They are incredibly delicious, which is why they are so hard to resist. 

At a certain point, though, your body lets you know that it’s time to lighten the load. After all, the body can only take so much! The feelings of fullness last beyond the big meal because people continue eating leftovers for days. This is perfectly common, and most people call the remaining days of the year a wash because their fitness or health goals start on January 1st. Don’t be that person because that attitude can propel poor eating habits into the New Year. You want to get a head start on your healthy eating!

It’s perfectly acceptable to abandon ship, veer from the norm, and start making recipes that are much easier on the body after the holidays. Learn the leftover lesson from previous years and get back on the path to better health before the New Year. To help encourage detoxification, though, you need to eat the right foods. The following recipes should aid your detox efforts after some serious holiday eating. Let us know which recipe is your favorite in the comments below.

Trust us when we tell you that these vegetable nori wraps are so creamy and delicious. Not only do they provide you with an array of textures, but they also deliver sweet and savory flavors. Each bite seems more balanced than the next, without ever overpowering your palate. Although you can use any mix of fruits and veggies that you enjoy, we feel that the ingredient list creates a perfect harmony.

There is an art to assembling a nori roll. First of all, when you are following a raw vegan diet, you want to make sure that the nori sheets are not roasted or flavored. They do sell raw nori sheets, so make sure you purchase those. Now, the last thing you want is for the actual nori sheet to get soggy when you roll up the contents. For this reason, lay the lettuce down first to act as a barrier between the nori sheet and the cashew cream. You can then lay down a couple other ingredients, followed by another drizzle of cashew cream. After one more layer of ingredients, you are ready to roll.

Ideally, you want to assemble all of the ingredients on one end of the nori sheet. You can then roll it up like a burrito, making sure to tightly wrap it to avoid spilling out the sides. If some ingredients fall out, don’t worry. Wet the very end strip of the nori sheet so that it can seal the roll. Wet your sharpened knife to cut the roll in as many pieces as you like. Make sure to wipe your knife between cutting rolls.

The secret is in the sauce, right? While that may not be true for every recipe, it certain is the case for this one! This savory sauce is fresh, creamy, and extremely versatile. You can either drizzle it over your raw tacos, use it as a salad dressing, or toss zucchini noodles in it,

This sauce functions as both a dip and a sauce. It differs from a classic pesto in that it’s quite creamy and has somewhat of a cheesy flavor, which comes from the nutritional yeast. The sauce bursts with notes of zesty citrus, which is a perfect complement to the herbaceous cilantro. What we’re trying to say is that it’s not your average run-of-the-mill sauce. It’s a notch above, each bite exploding with layers and layers of flavor.

We don’t want to hype this sauce up to the point where you are let down by flavor. It’s an incredibly tasty creation, but it may not be the best sauce ever created. The flavors are prominent and it tastes fresh, which will give that same quality to whatever you use it with. Let us know what you end up using the sauce for because we’re eager to hear about your culinary creations. We’d say “happy cooking,” but no cooking is involved, so “happy blending.”

Food can be the savior you need at the end of a long day of work. That doesn’t mean you have to eat your feelings; rather, it means that a tasty meal can lift your spirits. And a refreshing dessert on a hot summer day is the perfect way to wind down.

Classically, most desserts contain a lot of unhealthy sugars, refined carbohydrates, and very little nutrients. This raw vegan peaches and cream recipe satisfies your sweet craving and offers many nutritional benefits. Many people refer to peaches as “the fruit of calmness” because they help to naturally lower stress levels. Reports say that eating a peach a couple hours before bedtime can promote more restful sleep. Plus, peaches offer a seductive sweetness with just the right amount of tartness. While they are available throughout the year, the best varieties are available during summer.

While you will not be opening a can of whipped cream, but cashew cream that pairs with the peaches may be better. Not only is it silky smooth, but it is a much healthier whipped cream alternative. Just don’t eat the entire batch by yourself because you’ll rack up the calories quickly.

Nothing against zucchini noodles, but we sometimes have to change up the vegetable noodle game. Zucchini noodles are some of the best noodles to eat during a raw vegan diet, but other vegetables have spiralizing potential. One such vegetable is the mighty beet. Just like zoodles, beet noodles don’t require cooking, but it’s wise to spiralize them with a thinner attachment. That will help you avoid crunching on large chunks of beets.

We’re not just going to have you put a pile of beet noodles in a bowl, though. This recipe calls for a creamy cashew cheese sauce, which is the highlight of the recipe. you can make it thick and chunky (like you see in the picture), or you can blend it for a longer time to get a creamier consistency. The sauce contains numerous healthy fats and the flavor pairs beautifully with the earthy flavor of beet noodles. You’ll smell the bold flavors before you even taste this entree!
