TOFU SOUR CREAM

 

 

Don’t be afraid of tofu. It’s gotten a bad wrap from people who know nothing about it. Actually, tofu has been around for ages, and people who consume it regularly has been linked to good health and longevity. It’s has many vitamins, minerals, calcium, iron, magnesium, high in protein, no cholesterol, and with virtually no calories, just to mention a few benefits. Its mild and neutral flavor can be turned into just about anything, including this sour cream.

 

This is an easy recipe you can use in place of regular sour cream which is high in calories, saturated fat, and contains dairy, preservatives and additives, and so much more. But you can enjoy this tofu sour cream without guilt or worry.
