Tried this out today. Was expecting it to be more white from the picture above. Maybe I didn't blend long enough? It is in the fridge cooling. I think I should have added more lemon juice and less water. It is rather 'bland'. I will definitely be playing with it to find a flavor my LO likes with dairy egg soy and gluten allergies! Thanks

On the Sour Cream Recipe (Soy Free, Dairy Free, Gluten Free) can you substitute another nut for cashews? I can't have those right now.

  Sunny,
  
  Cashews make a light cream without any skin. That is why they are used. You can use another high fat nut like pecans, but you will have dark skin throughout the cream with a different flavor.
