You will be surprised at how easy it is to make and it actually looks like dairy “cheese” but much more healthier. Here are the ingredients for this Epic veggie burger and cheddar “cheese”!

Veggie Burger Ingredients:
* Serves 2-4
1 cup raw walnuts or sunflower seeds (I used walnuts, both nuts and seeds must be soaked for at least 30 minutes to 2 hours)
1/2 cup ground flax seed, hemp seed, or edamame (I used edamame)
1/4 cup water
2/3 cup chopped carrots
2/3 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup red onion
1 tsp seasonings of choice
Pinch of sea salt
8-10 black olives (or any other kind of olives; I used black)

Directions:
* Mix the sunflower seeds or walnuts, flax, hemp, or edamame, and seasonings in a food processor or blender until smooth and crumbs. Add the chopped veggies and olives. Pulse until the burgers well combined, but have some texture.
* Shape into four patties and dehydrate at 115 degrees for 5-15 minutes flip, and dehydrate for another 5-15 minutes.
* If you do not have a dehydrator, you can just skip the dehydrating process.

WRAP OPTIONS:
* You can use Sprouted Ezekiel Bread, swiss card, romaine lettuce, etc. Use which ever wrap is your favorite. I used romaine lettuce:)

Creamy Cheddar “Cheese”:
Ingredients:
1/2 cup pine nuts
1/2 cup raw walnuts (if not using pine nuts, add 1 cup raw walnuts)
1 garlic clove
1/2 of a bell pepper
1/2 of a lemon juiced
pinch of sea salt
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1 tbsp hemp seed (optional)
1/4 cup water

Directions:
* Blend all ingredients in blender until creamy. Pour “cheese” into a bowl, serve, and enjoy! If too thick, add more water. If too loose, add more cashews and yeast.

GARNISH & TOPPINGS:
Tomatoes
Red onion
Avocado

Be Cre8ive and add whatever toppings desired.

Enjoy your Epic raw veggie burgers with Cheddar “Cheese”:)
