Ingredients

• 300 grams Silken tofu
• 50 grams Raw cashews
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Nutritional yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 2 tablespoons Filtered water

Directions

Step 1

Soak the raw cashews in hot water for 10 minutes to soften them. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the silken tofu, softened cashews, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and filtered water.

Step 3

Blend the mixture on high for 1-2 minutes, or until completely smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender as needed to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 4

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice for tanginess, more salt for flavor, or a little more water to thin the texture if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the vegan sour cream to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to thicken slightly.

Step 6

Serve the high protein vegan sour cream as a topping for your favorite dishes, a dip for veggies, or a spread for sandwiches. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
