INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup cashews soaking in 1 cup water for 30 minutes
- ¼ cup nutritional yeast
- 2 lemons, juiced
- 2 teaspoons garlic granules

- 3 cups basil leaves, loosely packed
- 2 cups parsley leaves, loosely packed
DIRECTIONS
- Add cashews, soak water, nutritional yeast, lemon juice, garlic, and optional red pepper flakes to a blender. Blend until smooth. The longer the cashews soak for, the creamier they will be.
