Raw Chilli Nut Cheese

I love cheese, even though I'm lactose intolerant - when I eat it my face goes puffy and I pass out in a food coma for an hour or so. I can't digest it so it sits in my stomach and I feel bloated and gross. However every now and then I still eat it, from ripe cheddar to creamy goat cheese, it's all delicious. Then I decided instead of making myself sick, I could make my own versions of nut 'cheese'. I haven't touched real cheese since. Tonight I decided to make a basic chilli cheese.

Sometimes when I make cheese I use probiotics but tonight I wanted something quick and simple. Recently I've been mixing cashew and macadamia nuts together for the creaminess so I thought I'd try that for the cheese base. Also felt like a spicy kick so why not chilli and mustard too!

The result was this creamy tangy spicy goodness that melts in your mouth. I had it with some dehydrated crackers I got from the Little Shop of Plenty. Perfect end to my night!


Raw Chilli Nut Cheese


1/2 cup mixed cashews and macadamia (soaked for 6hrs)
2 tsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp mustard seed
1/2 tsp celtic sea salt
1/8 tsp coriander seed powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper


1. Blend the mustard seeds first on high until it's broken up (doesn't have to be powder form)

2. Add other ingredients and blend on high until it's creamy

3. Use a spoon and pack it into a circle and refrigerate for an hour or so before eating

* I used the thermomix speed 7 for about 10-15 secs x 4 times

    "I am not what happened to me,
    I am what I choose to become"
    Carl Gustave Jung

    I'm Binny, a full time Bikram Yoga teacher and studio owner that lives in Perth, Australia.

    I started this blog to share the things I love the best in the world: being healthy and happy, food (especially raw), yoga, traveling and most importantly, learning how to love and be true to myself.

    I suffered from severe digestive problems when I was younger, being gluten and lactose intolerant, and developed compartment syndrome and fibromyalgia in my teens. I have lived with constant pain for over 16 years now.

    Over the past 10 years, I've shifted to a mainly plant based diet and realised that being well and healthy is a way of life. I have been teaching Bikram yoga since 2011, in the US and Australia. Due to my health issues I've also had a lot of bodywork done as well as explored alternative therapies.

    I've become much more aware of myself as a result of all this - physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally. Right now I love my life. In my career I love what I do and I do what I love. I have traveled to some amazing places around the world and made lifelong friends. In between working and traveling, I cook up a storm in the kitchen, especially raw  desserts, spend time with the people I love the best, which now includes a yoga husband, a mini yogini Estell, and our dog! I try to listen to my body the best I can.

    I truly believe that we all have the power and the capabilities to heal our own bodies, to nourish the spirit and seek our own happiness and life's purpose. This my journey...
