Dairy-Free Alfredo Style Sauce

May 11, 2020 · In: Recipes

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Man oh man, do I love a good alfredo sauce, but to be honest, my gut doesn’t love it so much. All the butter, cheese, milk in large quantities just doesn’t sit well in this belly. So, I looked up some traditional alfredo sauces and found some interesting ones. Some with spices, some without, and made it dairy-free! I used ingredients like nutritional yeast, cashews and rosemary to get the flavours I wanted. This sauce is great for meal prep as you can make it at the beginning of the week and use it throughout in multiple ways (listed below)!

Dairy-Free Alfredo Style Sauce

Print Recipe
Prep Time:5 minutes mins
Cook Time:5 minutes mins
Total Time:10 minutes mins

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cashews soaked in filtered water overnight or for at least 30-60 minutes
  • 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 large clove garlic minced (use 2-3 smaller cloves if you don’t have a big one - I happened to have some monster cloves when I made this ha!)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 - 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Pinch of paprika
  • 1/2 cup - 3/4 cup filtered water

Instructions

  • In your blender, add the cashews (make sure to toss out the water they were soaking in), nutritional yeast, olive oil, lemon juice and all spices except for the rosemary. Add about 1/4 cup of water to start.
  • Start to blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. You don’t have to use all of the water but I used most all of it to thin the sauce out.
  • Once blended until your liking, add the rosemary and blend again for 5-10 more seconds.
  • Taste and add more spices if you desire.
  • Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to 1 week.

PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 How bea PINEAPPLE BLOOD ORANGE MOCKTAIL 🍍🍊 

How beautiful are blood oranges? 😍

I’ve been playing around with mocktails and I think this might be one of my faves! 

Here’s the how to:

1/2 cup pineapple chunks
Juice of 2 blood oranges
1-2 tsps raw honey
1/2 cup coconut milk
Sparkling water
Ice

In a glass or cocktail shaker, add the pineapple, blood orange juice and honey. Muddle until the pineapple is mashed.

Pour in the coconut milk and stir. With a fine mesh sieve or strainer, place on top of a glass and pour about half of the pineapple mixture into it and use a spoon to get the juices out. Repeat with another glass.

Add ice to the glass and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a slice of blood orange. 

Enjoy! 💛 

* you can add a pinch of sea salt
* you can eat the muddled fruit or add a tsp or 2 to your drink!
* use pineapple juice if you prefer

PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking! Ok ok this one is PRODUCT SWAPS PART 3: Cooking!

Ok ok this one is definitely a favourite for me! 👩🏻‍🍳

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the spices section @naturescanada 😍 I mean, what don’t they have? Having so many amazing options to choose from makes me feel confident I’m making healthy choices for me and my fam. 🤗 

So let’s dive right in.

Cooking oils - I know this is a hot topic but these are the things I cook with. Greeks (like me lol) have been using olive oil forevvveeerrr so I’m going to also use it foreva because it’s a part of my culture. 😉 Avocado oil, coconut oil, grass-fed butter and ghee. When buying olive oil and avocado oil, look for darker glass bottles to prevent oxidation. Also, don’t be afraid of butter! 🤗 Grass-fed butter is packed with healthy fats and fat soluble vitamins. Ghee is great too. Ghee is made by melting butter. It gets separated into liquid fats and milk solids. The milk solids get removed and then voila you have ghee! 

I personally don’t buy vegetable oils like canola, sunflower oil, etc. They are highly refined and processed and just no bueno for me. 🙅🏻‍♀️

Spices - make sure to read labels! You would I be surprised at what gets added to spices. If you’re buying dried dill, the ingredients should just be dill. 

Salt - same thing as spices…there should only be salt as the ingredient no fillers or any other nonsense! I’m a big fan of @redmondrealsalt ! 

As always, let me know if you have any questions. 🤗
