This Tasty Recipe Was Inspired by Foods That Support a Healthy Liver

This recipe was inspired by Minimalistbaker.com, a Portland local food blogger. FYI, we tweaked some measurements to suit our exact tastes, based on trial and error. If you have any food allergies such as nut allergies please substitute cashews for seeds or consider using a soy-free vegan cream cheese.
