Ingredients for Cultured Almonds:
1 cup blanched almonds
1 Tbsp neutral tasting cooking oil (like sunflower oil)
1/2 cup water
4 vegan probiotic capsules
Instructions for Cultured Almonds:
Soak almonds overnight. Rinse then drain and place in a high speed blender with the oil and 3/4 cup water. Blend until smooth. Remove from blender and place in a bowl. Stir in probiotic capsules. Cover and leave sitting out for 1 or 2 days until the nuts change from tasting like blended almonds to more of a tangy cheese sort of flavor. These are now ready to use.

In a bowl place 1 cup of the cultured almonds. Set aside. Add all remaining ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Stir this liquid into the bowl of almonds until well combined. Check for seasoning.
Enjoy!!!
