SEAWEED CRUSTED ALMOND CHEESE
Preperation – 20 min + 8 hrs
Quantity – 4 person
Ingredients
2 cups raw almonds soaked
1/2 to 1 cup water to blend thoroughly
1 probiotic capsule
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp gf nutritional yeast (optional)
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp lofoten seaweed blend ( dulse, nori, winged kelp) to coat
Instructions
1. Soak and peel the almonds then blend almonds, probiotic and water in a high speed blender ( like Blendtec with the twister jar).
2. Pour the mixture in a tall glass bowl and cover with a cheesecloth. Stir to combine with a wooden spoon (not metal, as it can tamper with the effectiveness of the probiotics). Let it sit at room temperature for 24 hours or up to 72 hours to culture. We found 48 hours to be the sweet spot. The longer it sits, the firmer and tangier it will become.
3. Once done, mix in the salt, nutritional yeast and lemon juice.
4. Roll the cheese into a cylinder by first placing a 12 inch long piece of baking paper on a flat surface.
5. Place half of the cheese in the middle and flatten it out into a rectangular shape. Carefully roll the wrap over the cheese and twist the sides to create a cylinder. Tie the ends and freeze for 2-3 hours.
6. Remove the wrap, roll into seaweed blend. Then dehydrate at 42° C for 24 hours to develope a rind. Once done, serve or keep in the refrigerator up to 1 week. If you don’t like the rind, you can skip dehydration step and consume the cheese as it is.

Celery juice is most powerful when you drink it solo. While it’s great to consume other green juices or vegetables juices and add in items like spinach, kale, parsley, cilantro, and apples, drink those mixed juices at a different time than your straight celery juice. For even greater benefits or if you suffer from a chronic illness or symptom, consider drinking twenty-four to thirty-two ounces of straight celery juice per day.

Even if the population of fermented foods is increasing these days, they don’t work for everyone and might cause serious health issues. Our instinctive refusal to fermented foods has prompted us to investigate in this direction. Below you will find Anthony’s perspective at fermented foods.
“Digestive upset is on the rise and one popular and trendy remedy for this is eating plenty of fermented foods. While ferments did play an important role in our history, it’s important to understand that it was because it was a matter of survival, not because they held any particular health benefits. These foods could be stored long term without refrigeration, and without them, many would have likely starved.
Even though they were vital at one time, we now understand that they are not life giving or important to healing any type of digestive disorder. The bacteria on these foods that we think of as being so beneficial actually thrives on decay. If you’re dealing with any kind of gut issue, it’s best to steer clear of fermented foods and focus instead on bacteria that thrive on life. These “elevated biotics” can be found on the leaves and skin of fruit and vegetables, especially sprouts. We can access these living miracles by eating high quality organic, fresh, raw, unwashed produce.
This powerful and life giving biotics nourish us on every level and are heroes for restoring digestive health as well as improving methylation and a B12 deficiency.”
