Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a high-powered blender, combine ½ cup raw cashews, 1 can full-fat coconut milk, ½ cup boiling water, 6 cloves garlic, ¼ cup nutritional yeast, 2 tablespoons tapioca starch, and ½ teaspoon sea salt. Blend on high until very smooth. Set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add in ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes and 1 small onion (diced), and cook until onion is just tender, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add in the 3 cups chopped fresh spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Then add in the 1 can artichoke hearts. Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.

  5. Remove from heat, add in Juice from 1 lemon, and then season with additional Salt and black pepper, if needed. Serve immediately with Pita chips, crackers, or veggies for dipping.
