Vegan Gluten Free Two-Ingredient Bagels

Cashew Cream Cheese

  • Soak the cashews in hot water for a minimum of 1 hour, or soak overnight.
  • Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth.

Carrot Smoked Salmon

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Bake the whole carrot with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper for 30-40 mins. Set aside to cool.
