Vegan
This creamy, zesty sauce is the perfect way to elevate tacos, grain bowls, veggie burgers, or roasted veggies. Made with non-dairy yogurt, fresh cilantro, jalapeño, and avocado, it’s a vibrant, nutrient-packed alternative to traditional crema—without the inflammatory dairy. The avocado brings healthy fats to support skin, brain, and hormone health, while cilantro and lime add a fresh punch. You’ll want to put it on everything.
