For healthier spreads
Substitute: Pureed nuts for butter.
Why: For a buttery spread or dip with less saturated fat, Fuhrman recommends making ‘garlic nutter’ by blending a couple of heads of roasted garlic with cashews, water, and nutritional yeast. ‘It tastes so much better [than butter] because of the roasted garlic flavor,’ he says. For variety, add ingredients like mustard, tomato paste, or lemon and basil.
