Ditch the Store-Bought Mayo — Make This Cashew Live Mayo Instead
What If Your Mayonnaise Was Actually Good for You?
Most people love mayo. Most people also feel a little guilty about it.
The store-bought version is loaded with refined oils, artificial preservatives, stabilisers and flavourings. It tastes good — but it does very little for your health.
What if there was a version made entirely from whole, living ingredients? One that you could dip, spread and drizzle without a second thought?
Culinary Healer and Transformation Coach Viv Loh has the answer — and it takes less than 10 minutes to make.
Introducing Cashew Live Mayo — a creamy, plant-based, nutrient-rich alternative to conventional mayonnaise, made with raw cashews and Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar. The result is so delicious, you may never go back.
Meet Viv Loh
Viv Loh is a Culinary Healer, Transformation Coach and the author of the beloved book "Not Kale!" — a book that challenges the wellness world's obsession with complicated health foods and champions simple, honest ingredients that actually taste incredible.
Her philosophy is beautifully straightforward: real food, simply prepared, transforms how you feel. Not superfoods you can't pronounce. Not supplements you don't understand. Just clean ingredients prepared with intention.
Cashew Live Mayo is the perfect expression of that philosophy — a condiment that is as nourishing as it is delicious.
Why "Live" Mayo?
The word "live" in Viv's recipe isn't just branding — it means something.
Unlike conventional mayonnaise that is processed, pasteurised and packed with preservatives, Cashew Live Mayo is made from raw, unprocessed ingredients that retain their natural enzymes, nutrients and vitality.
Raw cashews are rich in healthy fats, magnesium and plant-based protein. And when combined with Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar — naturally brewed and completely free from preservatives — you get a condiment that genuinely supports your body rather than burdening it.
This is food that is alive, in every sense of the word.
The Hero Ingredient: Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar
Every great mayo needs an acid to balance the richness of the fat and bring everything together. In conventional mayo, that acid is usually white vinegar or lemon juice. In Viv's recipe, it is Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar — and the difference in flavour is remarkable.
Brewed from organic brown rice through a slow, natural fermentation process, Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar has a gentle, rounded acidity that complements the creamy sweetness of the cashews without any harshness.
No preservatives. No artificial additives. Just pure, naturally fermented vinegar that makes this mayo taste clean, balanced and genuinely wholesome.
Beyond this recipe, Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar is wonderful for:
- 🥗 Salad dressings — light and clean with any green
- 🍚 Seasoning grains — add a splash to brown rice or quinoa
- 🥒 Quick pickles — cucumber, carrot or radish in minutes
- 🍜 Noodle sauces — a tangy base for cold or warm noodle dishes
- 🍣 Sushi rice — the traditional use, perfectly balanced
Viv Loh's Cashew Live Mayo Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw cashews (soaked in water for 2–4 hours, then drained)
- 2 tablespoons Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard (optional — adds depth and a gentle tang)
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small clove of fresh garlic
- 4–6 tablespoons water (add gradually to reach your preferred consistency)
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or honey (optional — balances the acidity)
Method
Step 1 — Soak your cashews. This is the most important step. Place your raw cashews in a bowl, cover with water and soak for at least 2–4 hours (or overnight in the refrigerator for an ultra-creamy result). Soaking softens the cashews, making them blend into a completely smooth, silky texture — no graininess, no chunks.
Drain and rinse thoroughly before using.
Step 2 — Blend. Add your drained cashews, Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, salt, garlic, and 4 tablespoons of water to a high-speed blender or food processor.
Blend on high for 2–3 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.
Step 3 — Adjust consistency. With the blender running, add water one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency:
- Thick and spreadable → 4 tablespoons water (perfect for sandwiches and burgers)
- Creamy and pourable → 6 tablespoons water (ideal as a dip or dressing)
- Light and drizzleable → 8 tablespoons water (great over salads and grain bowls)
Step 4 — Taste and season. This is where you make it your own. Taste your mayo and adjust:
- More Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar → brighter, tangier flavour
- More salt → more savoury depth
- A touch of maple syrup or honey → balances richness and acidity
- More garlic → bolder, more punchy flavour
Step 5 — Chill and serve. Transfer to a clean glass jar and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chilling firms up the texture and allows the flavours to meld beautifully.
How to Use Your Cashew Live Mayo
This is where it gets exciting. Once you have a jar of Cashew Live Mayo in your fridge, you will find yourself reaching for it constantly:
🥪 As a sandwich spread — on sourdough, wraps or rice paper rolls instead of conventional mayo
🥗 As a salad dressing base — thin with a little water and extra vinegar, add herbs for a creamy herb dressing
🍟 As a dipping sauce — for sweet potato fries, vegetable sticks, spring rolls or crackers
🌮 As a taco or burger sauce — mixed with a little chilli sauce or sriracha for a creamy spicy mayo
🥦 As a vegetable dip — alongside raw broccoli, carrot sticks, cucumber and celery for a wholesome snack platter
🍜 As a noodle sauce — tossed through cold soba or rice noodles with a splash of soy sauce and sesame oil
The Wellness Science Behind the Recipe
Viv's Cashew Live Mayo isn't just delicious — every ingredient is doing something for your body.
🥜 Raw cashews are rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, magnesium (essential for muscle and nerve function), zinc (immunity support) and plant-based protein that keeps you satisfied.
🍶 Bio Tree Brown Rice Vinegar contains natural organic acids that support healthy digestion, help balance pH levels and enhance the absorption of minerals from food.
🍋 Lemon juice provides Vitamin C and additional digestive enzymes.
🧄 Garlic is one of nature's most potent antimicrobial and immune-supporting ingredients.
Together, this is a condiment that actively contributes to your wellbeing — not just your flavour.
Storage Tips
Store your Cashew Live Mayo in a clean, sealed glass jar in the refrigerator. It keeps well for up to 5–7 days.
Because this mayo contains no preservatives, it is best made in small batches and used fresh. The flavour actually improves after 24 hours as the ingredients continue to meld in the fridge.
Give it a good stir before each use as some natural separation may occur — this is completely normal and a sign that your mayo contains no artificial stabilisers.
One Jar Changes Everything
Viv's Cashew Live Mayo is the kind of kitchen upgrade that makes you wonder why you ever bought the conventional version.
Same creamy texture. Same versatile flavour. But made from real, whole, living ingredients — with a naturally fermented brown rice vinegar that you can feel confident about putting into your body every single day.
Make a jar this weekend. Your snacks will never be the same.
