Have you ever tried making sour cream out of silken tofu? It tastes pretty much the same, but reduces the calories significantly and increases the protein! Using silken tofu to make high protein condiments and dressings is a game changer for hitting your calorie and macro goals!
You can use this sour cream for anything you normally would – just as sour cream on top of tacos, or for things like a high protein twice baked potato casserole (you should go check out that recipe; it’s so good!)
Ingredients
“Bacon” Bits
- Extra Firm Silken Tofu – make sure to use silken tofu for this recipe! If you use regular tofu (firm/extra firm) you will get something more like hummus. Silken tofu can be found at most grocery stores, and can also be purchased online. There are two kinds – refrigerated and shelf-stable – they’re both pretty interchangeable in this recipe. I really like the brand Mori-Nu, because it’s shelf-stable and I can buy it online; I typically go with Extra Firm Silken Tofu.
- Lemon – I like to use fresh lemon juice, but the bottled juice will work just as well. One lemon has about 2 tablespoons of juice, for reference.
- Sugar – I think a little sugar is needed for this. If you’re trying to reduce your sugar intake, a sugar alternative could work.
- Salt – adjust to taste.
- Apple Cider Vinegar – I like ACV for this recipe, but a different mild vinegar could work equally well if you don’t have Apple Cider Vinegar – maybe Rice Vinegar or White Whine Vinegar.
Directions
- Juice the lemon.
- In a high-powered blender, blend all of the ingredients together until smooth and creamy. This could require you to stop the blender and perform a couple spatula interventions since this is pretty thick and doesn’t have much liquid.
