Looks delicious! How long do you estimate it’ll stay good in the fridge?
About 4 days =)
I get apple juice sweetened dried cranberries and cherries at Vitacost online!
Very good, I added teaspoon of mustard but otherwise made per instructions. Will definitely make again.
Can I use apple cider vinegar instead of white wine vinegar?
Yes
Substitute for cashews?
almonds
Sorry. I should have asked substitute for nuts.
You could try sunflower seeds
How long do you blend it for in order to to get nice and creamy? How about many minutes or is it more like a few seconds and then it’s done? I have a Ninja blender so I’m not sure if I overblended it as it seemed more watery to me. ??????
Every blender is a little different so essentially you just want to blend until there are no more chunks.
I first discovered this recipe in the fall of 2020, and have made it many times, following the recipe exactly. It is not only super healthy but delicious! Thanks for a great recipe…. I have shared it with friends!
