Peaches are one of my favorite summer fruits. I have always loved adding them to my cottage cheese, but since I have switched to an anti-inflammatory and heart-healthy diet, I no longer eat dairy. My solution: cashew cream! Super easy, slightly sweet and better than any dairy product available.

Cashew Cream

• 1/2 cup raw cashews

• 1/2-1 cup Water

Place cashews into a cup or bowl. Fill with water just until covered. Let soak about 2 hours (or longer). Place cashews and water into a blender. Add an additional 1/4 cup of water into the blender and blend on high. Add a little bit of water at a time to get the mixture turning and then to reach your desired consistency. The blending process should take about 3-4 minutes to get it creamy. Add cinnamon or vanilla extract if you would like. Place in a mason jar and store in the refrigerator or several days.
