  1. Made this for my husband and I, and as omnivores we are very impressed and happy to have a lighter and greener sauce without having to compromise on flavor. Although I wouldn\’t quite label it alfredo, it certainly feels like a comfort food. I plan to use this on pasta and green vegetables often in the future.

    1. Deb, I don\’t think cashew milk would work as well. The whole ground cashew adds a creamy thickness in recipes. Also, like juicing, you would lose some nutritional benefits.

  2. I think one thing that a person should try to do is get rid of all the oil in their diet too. I know we have always heard of the heart benefits of olive oil. However, after listening to others like Dr Esselstyn, it would appear that oils are just not a good thing for our hearts overall.
