Cashew Cheeze

Mac and cheese is by far my favorite comfort food. The cheese is warm and creamy so everything about it is amazing. Except for all of the calories that come along with it. By using cashews instead of cheese, you will be cutting calories and adding protein. You'll be surprised with how much it comes out like cheese!

                

This is a very quick and simple recipe with only a few ingredients. Start by blending your cashews until they're all completely broken down. Next, add in your lemon juice and water. Mix until smooth, adding more water if necessary. Now, add in your minced garlic, mustard, and spices. Blend one more time and now you have your cheeze! Some healthy ways to use this cheeze is on whole grain pasta or roasted cauliflower. Serve warm and enjoy!
