Raw Cashew - Vegetable Dip

Pin It Now!

Here is a good vegetable dip - It's good with dippers like celery or carrot sticks, bell pepper strips, etc. Take some soaked cashews, some sea salt, and onion and blend with about one-and-a-half to twice as much water or nut milk. You want it to be a bit thin because you are going to add dehydrated vegetable bits (I use Frontier's deluxe vegetable soup mix), and leave it in the fridge for a day or so. The dried veggies will absorb the water and the flavors will all combine. 

Sometimes I also add some dried onion powder that I make by dehydrating onions 'til they are just turning a bit brown and then running them through a coffee grinder. It adds a really nice flavor!

Raw Cream of Mushroom Soup

Pin It Now!


Here is one of my favorites--It will probably be one of yours, too, if you love mushrooms. It really satisfies my hunger and seems to take away my food cravings. I take some soaked cashews and cover them in a blender with one-and-a-half to two times as much water (or for a super creamy variety, make it macadamia nut milk, raw, of course) and add some sea salt and onion to taste. (I once added some dehydrated, powdered onion that I made myself, and it added an awesome flavor!) Then throw in some raw mushrooms and blend it all, add some sliced mushrooms, and enjoy! YUM!!!
