Raw Spinach Vegan Cheese Dip - gluten free

This is another very simple vegan cheese recipe! We absolutely love this dip, especially with organic corn chips! It is a great way to increase your raw spinach intake as well! In a powerful blender (we used a Vitamix; for more information in North America click here or in Europe click here) add:

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 6 Tablespoons of nutritional yeast
  • 1/4 cup raw almonds
  • 3/4 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 to 1/2 leaf of fresh spinach (add more if you really love spinach)

Blend until smooth or almost completely smooth. Enjoy this raw spinach vegan cheese as a spread or dip with your favorite chips, crackers or vegetables!
