Whether you are a vegan, someone who is recently dairy-free or just a person looking for delicious and healthy snacks, cashew dip is the condiment you’ve been looking for!
You may think cashews sounds like an odd choice for a dip, but this nutritional powerhouse of a nut is amazing in not only the fact that it’s delicious, but the fact that more so than any other plant based food, it has the ability to mimic the creamiest of dairy-like consistencies. Imagine a world where French onion dip is healthy, creamy pastas won’t make you need a nap after and a ranch dip for your veggie sticks that isn’t full of preservatives. This can all be achieved and more with cashews and our vegan cashew spread that tastes amazing.
All the Health Benefits Packed into a Tiny Compartment
Cashews are no longer relinquished to being just a bar snack or a part of trail mix, but have become a star ibest n their own right partly due to their immense health properties. From heart healthy fats to an important source of protein, here is just a small list of its advantages.
- Protein – Protein is one of the most important nutrients your body needs to survive (this is particularly important to vegans who can become deficient if not careful.)It is one of the main macronutrients the body will tap into for energy and is used to help rebuild muscle when doing things like working out. Though all nuts are known to be a great source of protein, cashews stand out because of its particularly well balanced ratio of protein to fat as well as being one of the less calorically dense options out there.
- Cholesterol Helper – While cashews do seem like they have a high fat content, it is actually healthy unsaturated fat that can lower your LDL (bad cholesterol levels) and raise your HDL (good cholesterol levels) as well as reduce overall blood pressure levels.
- Cold Fighter – In addition to all the other great things cashews have going on; they are also an excellent source of zinc which keeps your immune system up and running to stave off the dreaded flu season.
