Cashew sauce is a great alternative to Alfredo as it is rich in protein and a much healthier choice than the original. Here's the recipe:

• 1 cup of raw cashews soaked for at least 4 hrs in water
• 1/4 cup of filtered water
• 2 Tablespoon of lemon juice ( I used a half of lemon, because I wanted a little more tangy taste)
• 2 tablespoon of white vinegar or Apple Cidar Vinegar ( I used Apple Cidar Vinegar
• 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast ( you'll have to search for this item, found it at Nutrition Smart food market. Trader Joes does not have it and can't remember if whole food does)… This helps to give the cashew loads of extra flavor! It's the key item!!!!
• 1-2 cloves of garlic (or garlic powder, judge on your own I will guess around a tablespoon)
• 1/4 of small onion (or guessing around 1 tablespoon of powdered )
• 1/2 tsp of Salt for taste ( I used Tony's Creole seasoning my absolute Fav of all time. I'm ole school when it comes to seasoning so not sure how much I used, went by taste.)

Place all items in a high powered blender. I've used a Vitamix and a Ninja and they've both done a great job, however, I prefer the Vitamix. Once all ingredients are loaded then mix away. Depending on thickness have some extra water near by or even almond milk to help thin it. Be careful, it's not suppose to be runny. A nice creamy balance is the key. Let me know if you've tried it. Good Luck!
