Rich Cheddar Sauce-Lower fat!

[Margueritte]

My absolute favorite raw recipe, but I had to either cut back (No way, I love this stuff!!) or modify the recipe to cut back my fat intake (trying to lose wt) since I use this as a soup base, pizza topping, sandwich spread, veggie topper, and dip. I can't take the credit for the idea though, since I followed someone elses lead that substituted cauliflower for some of the nuts in the "Deviled Eggless Spread" (Thanks RowanC!!:p )
For the 1 cup of nuts, I used only 1/3 cup cashews and 1 cup cauliflower. I left everything else the same, maybe a little more water to make it smooth. It still thickens up in the fridge, just as yummy, 60% less fat. ;)

Margueritte, thank you for posting your results with this. I to seem to want an unbalanced amount of nutty recipes. I may try using zucchini instead of the cauliflower, it gives me gas so bad. I just love taking a recipe and using other ingredients. :D

Lol I'm not changing anything from the original recipe cos I love it.:p

I eat tons of it and am loosing weight about 1lb every 1 or 2 days which is really fast.

If you are100% raw you will loose weight lol:D

Yeshia-
I love this stuff too! I am 100% but my weight loss seems to stall when I eat too many nuts or dehydrated recipes. I have seen many other posts from people with the same concerns, even those that watch calories:eek: . All things in moderation I guess...

Everybody's body/metabolism is unique. What works for one person doesn't work for another.
