  • Blend until smooth, creamy, and capable of making you question dairy forever.

Assemble the Roll-Ups:

  • Lay out your chosen wrap (nori, romaine, or collard).
  • Spread a generous layer of vegan cream cheese.

Notes and Tips

  • Wraps falling apart? Use nori or collards for a firmer grip (unlike your last relationship).
  • Add pickled onions or capers for that extra salty kick of joy.
  • Make ahead and store in the fridge like the organized goddess you are.
  • Swap cashews for sunflower seeds if your wallet’s crying—or your gut doesn’t do nuts.
