Cashew Cream Sauce (Vegan)

Cashew Cream Sauce

This recipe was adapted from Alina Z.

This cashew cream sauce is a delicious, healthy and vegan-friendly option that can replace cheese in most dishes. Most cream sauces are not usually a healthy option; typically they contain a lot of heavy cream, unhealthy oils, and cheese.

This cashew cream sauce recipe is a healthier alternative and is packed full of flavor. Cashews are very nutritious, a powerhouse of proteins and contain a lot of healthy fat (mostly monounsaturated fats) and, surprisingly, quite a bit of protein. They are also high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin B6, and Vitamin E.
