This easily made creamed spinach recipe is a perfect side dish for your Thanksgiving or Christmas holiday table. It´s dairy-free, yet rich and creamy thanks to the fresh cashew milk made with the NutraMilk. Not only do cashews add flavor and a rich creamy texture, but also loads of healthy nutrients such as zinc, copper, magnesium and antioxidants such as ¨Zeaxanthin¨ which promotes eye health; as well fiber and the important macronutrients: plant-protein and heart- healthy fats. We love to make heathy and delicious recipes!

  • Preheat your largest skillet over medium low heat. Add about a tablespoon of water or a light drizzle of olive oil and sauté the spinach with a pinch of sea salt until wilted. Toss often and as soon as the spinach releases its water transfer to a colander to drain well.
  • Meanwhile in a medium sauce pan whisk together the cashew milk, flour, nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powders until combined. Season with the sea salt and bring to a simmer whisking continuously until thick and creamy, approximately 5 minutes or so.
  • Remove the cream sauce from heat and gently fold in the sautéed spinach. Taste and adjust seasonings with more sea salt. Add a little pinch of freshly grated nutmeg to taste. Enjoy!
