Herby Garlic Cream Cheese
This savoury vegan cream cheese alternative is crafted from a protein-rich blend of tofu and cashews. Infused with a trio of fresh chives, dill, and basil, it offers a silky texture and vibrant herb-forward profile. Perfectly tangy and satisfying, it is an excellent healthy spread for morning bagels or afternoon snacks.
