You know that old Sesame Street song that goes, “One of these things is not like the others …”? Put a cashew next to butter and margarine, and you’ll probably think, “Hey, I know which one of these doesn’t belong.” Think again. I’ve pleased many a client who swears by butter but wants to go dairy free by substituting nut creams, in this case pulverized cashews. Not only is the taste fulfilling and delightful, nuts are far better for you than any store-bought buttery spread made from corn oil. Cashew Cream is also a tasty and nutritious addition to any smoothie.
