About

We wanted to create a rich, indulgent-tasting sauce that leaves you feeling light, nourished, and satisfied, and we found the perfect balance by using cashews for creaminess and soft silken tofu to lighten things up. Both deliver a generous amount of cell-rejuvenating, lean-muscle-building plant protein in the most delicious way possible. Use this feel-good version of white sauce in place of any béchamel or Alfredo sauce.
