Vegan Cashew Cream Cheese
2 steps
Prep:5min
This easy vegan cream cheese is made in just a few minutes, with the only prep being soaking some cashews. Cashews are a good source of heart healthy mono unsaturated fats, copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc. Nutritional yeast is also high in all the B vitamins, like B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12, nutrients that are hard to come by on a vegan diet. There's even more protein here than standard cream cheese. The neutral taste and creamy texture of cashews make them perfect for dairy substitutions. Each serving is 2 tbsp (30 g)
