A Caveat and Affiliates
First off, a little caveat: within my articles you will find affiliate links, meaning if you buy them, I get a small commission. Your cost is not affected. In addition, I am an Amazon Associate and I earn from qualifying purchases on Amazon.
And yes, if I say that I recommend a product here, it means I truly believe it is a good product. I refuse to recommend any product that I have not researched and believe to be a good value.
Even better, I provide you with a very clear picture of the product, it’s use, and the probable value.
Earning your trust is important to me. I run this website myself and the commissions and donations help support the site.
Sound reasonable and fair enough? Let’s continue to the article.

Love Sour Cream? Looking for a Vegan Sour Cream?
Our vegan sour cream recipe provides a full sour cream flavor without the dairy. Actually, we offer two different recipes allowing you to choose ingredients.
Recipe 1 uses tofu as the base.
Tofu offers a creamy base and this recipe whips up quickly.
Recipe 2 uses cashews and no soy.
Prefer a plant-based recipe with no soy? Try this one. It does require planning ahead as the cashews need to be soaked. However, we think you will enjoy the finished product.
Recipe 1- Vegan Sour Cream, Soy Version
Ingredients
- 1 (12.3oz/349g) pack organic firm silken tofu
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice,
- 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon raw organic apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Himalayan salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or green onions (optional)
Directions:
- Put all ingredients, except the chives/onions in a blender.

We really like the power and function of this blender and think you will, too. Although I also have a Vitamix and an inexpensive “quick blend” blender, this one remains my personal favorite!
