Non-Dairy Cashew Creme

This non-dairy cashew creme is perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth in a blood sugar friendly way.

Creamy, smooth, and rich, it tastes decadent and rich. In reality, the cashew creme comes together quickly with only a handful of ingredients.

Aside from being absolutely delicious, my non-dairy cashew creme packs a nutritional punch. Cashews are high in minerals like zinc and copper. The lauric acid content in coconut makes it a powerful anti-fungal and antibacterial food. Coconuts are also high in manganese, which is beneficial for bone and metabolic health. Altogether, the healthy fats in this non-dairy cashew creme allow better absorption of any fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K) consumed alongside it.

I would use this cashew creme at the end of the night – one scoop on top of a bowl of berries – for a blood sugar balancing dessert. I also like adding a scoop alongside berries in my son’s lunchbox. The healthy fats give long-lasting energy while blunting any blood sugar spikes.
