Cashew Cream

This incredibly rich-tasting, easy-to-make sauce is a flavorful, non-dairy-based, creamy protein boost to nearly any main or side dish, from grilled chicken breast to roasted broccoli. It is also used as a key, “cream-ifying” ingredient in soups and stews. Make a big batch and freeze in small portions for easy weeknight meals.
