In addition to launching the newest section of my blog dedicated to vegan dog food recipes (find it here), I've also been busy with tons of other exciting projects.
During my semester off before I start my PhD program in nutrition at the University of Texas in the Fall, I have been attending the wonderful Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
Here I have been learning hundreds of dietary theories as well as holistic nutrition as part of my training to become a health coach.
What I have learned has helped me become a happier, healthier, and more balanced person, and I cannot wait to get started helping others.
If any of you are looking for guidance on diet, lifestyle, or overall well-being, please feel free to reach out and get to know me!
You can contact me anytime via the "Contact" tab on my page. Anyway, back to this amazingly delicious cheese dip.
This stuff is addictive. (I have a large mason jar-full of it in my fridge at this very moment!).
I made a huge batch this weekend, and whenever I need a filling snack I get out whatever veggies I have on hand and dip away!
I also had this for dinner the other night when I didn't feel like making anything new.
If you liked my Raw Cashew "Cheese" Dip, you will love this low-fat version that is just as creamy and satisfying. Enjoy!!

What are the "seedy" looking dipping toasts? They really look nice and tasty
They are "Flackers" and they are amazingly delicious! Fully raw crackers made from flax seeds. You can find them at Whole Foods!
I tried this yesterday and it was amazing!! I dipped it with some of the organic rice thins and it was such a satisfying lunch!!
However, I used the lite-firm Morinaga tofu and omitted the cornstarch, and the texture was equally as creamy and thick 🙂
Awesome! So glad to hear you enjoyed the dip. I've made it successfully without cornstarch too - I am going to remove it from the recipe 🙂 Thanks for your feedback!!
Low Fat Vegan Cheese Dip? I think I love you.
Haha!! Warning: it is addictive!! ????
I made this today and it was so good! As much as I love cashew cheese, it's nice to have a healthier, lighter option 🙂
Hi Julie! So glad you liked this recipe 🙂
I’m guessing not, but should the tofu be drained? I’m totally trying this! Still searching for a yummy no nut cheesy sauce. 🙂
Hi Dawn! I would dump out the water from the package, but you don't need to make it super dry! There is only about a tablespoon of water in the mori-nu packages 🙂
Thanks for the recipe! Would regular extra firm tofu work since I can’t find that brand? Thanks!
Hi Dee! It should work, but make sure to use only about 12 ounces. Also, you might have to add a smidge of water to facilitate blending.
