I incorporate this \u201cricotta cheese\u201d in my raw \u201cliving\u201d lasagna, pizza recipes, salad dressings, appetizers, or as a satisfying\u201d go-to\u201d on a stalk of celery when I\u2019m craving that creamy salty crunch that should always be on-hand in any GREEN refrigerator, you can also find great ingredients in\u00a0thevegancompany.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Substitute NON-DAIRY SEED \u201cYOGURT\u201d & \u201cCHEESE\u201d:
\n
\nNatural LIVING probiotic cultures with acidopholous, lactobacilus, & bifidus for enhanced proper digestion:<\/p>\n

The fermentation process also renders these seeds into easily digested and assimilated amino acids, simple sugars, & essential fatty acids. Serve as garnish on Green Blended Soups or bowl of berries sweetened with raw honey or low-glycemic stevia.<\/p>\n

Equipment: Vitamix, Blend-Tech, or any blender with ice-crush capacity<\/p>\n

Yogurt:<\/h3>\n

2 cups purified, filtered water or Rejuvelac (an optional fermented \u201cstarter culture\u201d)<\/p>\n

1 cup hulled raw organic sunflower or pumpkin seeds<\/p>\n

Soak seeds 8 hours & sprout 8 hrs.<\/p>\n

Blend at low speed & then advance to high speed until mixture becomes a smooth pasty liquid.<\/p>\n

Pour into a glass jar. Secure a sprout bag or cheesecloth over top with a rubber band.<\/p>\n

Set aside out of direct sunlight for 3 \u2013 5 hrs. You may need extra time if made with water instead of rejuvelac. Stir and taste, culture to desired tanginess.<\/p>\n

Refrigerate tightly covered up to 5 days.<\/p>\n

Add lemon juice & raw honey or use stevia for a low glycemic, low calorie sweetener and serve over a bowl of berries for an awesome guilt-free dessert!<\/p>\n

Herbed \u201cRicotta Cheese\u201d:<\/p>\n

1\/4- 1\/2 cup purified water<\/p>\n

1 Cup raw almonds (soaked 24 \u2013 48 hours in refrigerator and peeled) or use \u201craw\u201d cashews soaked 4 hours. (Note: many gourmet \u201craw\u201d food cheese recipes include creamy \u201craw\u201d cashews but there\u2019s controversy as to the harvesting process that requires heating over 115 degrees, thus destroying enzyme content).<\/p>\n

1 whole lemon, quartered<\/p>\n

1-2 C fresh basil (extra basil yields a pesto consistency)<\/p>\n

2- 3 T nutritional yeast (available at most grocers)<\/p>\n

1\/4 C organic cold pressed olive oil<\/p>\n

1 tsp Celtic sea salt<\/p>\n

Blend nuts low & slow with half the liquid, then add rest of ingredients & advance to high speed until mixture is a smooth paste.<\/p>\n

Store tightly covered in refrigerator and enjoy for 5 days, or dehydrate & crumble for \u201cparmesan\u201d cheese.<\/p>\n
