• 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Tamari or soy sauce

• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder

Directions

Step 1

Start by measuring out all of the ingredients to have them ready for blending. This will save time and ensure everything is added correctly.

Step 2

In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the raw almonds and chickpeas. Blend on high until they form a rough paste, scraping down the sides as needed.

Step 3

Add nutritional yeast, fresh lemon juice, water, extra virgin olive oil, tamari, apple cider vinegar, garlic cloves, ground cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and black pepper to the almond-chickpea mixture.

Step 4

Blend the mixture on high speed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce becomes completely smooth and creamy. Pause occasionally to scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 5

Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more salt, lemon juice, or spices as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the finished sauce to a container with a lid. For best results, let it chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Serve this high protein Bitchin' Sauce with your favorite cut vegetables, crackers, or use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.

Step 8

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
