½ cup Rejuvelac or Water Kefir (or 1 cup water with 2 capsules of probiotic powder)

What you do:

  1. Into a high-speed blender, place almonds and Rejuvelac and process until smooth. Add more Rejuvelac if necessary to form a smooth, creamy texture.

  3. Remove cheese from strainer, and refrigerate until ready to use.
