new and learning

I'm new and learning so I need some help and advice. Due to a number of reasons like most, I'm working to change to a raw food diet. I see nuts being used in a lot in recipes. My question is, in makeing cheese sauces is there another way to make it to keep the fat level down for a person who needs to lose weight and has other health problems?

Thanks in advance
Kat

You can reduce the amount of nuts in the recipe and replace some of the nuts with raw chopped cauliflower (in the food processor until a fine puree). If you use 50% nuts and 50% cauliflower you will still get a very creamy cheesy texture, but lower in fat.

You can also make zucchini puree with little or no nuts and you will get another creamy sauce.

How about adding sprouted grain, like wheat or rice, to foods in place of a sauce?
