• Aside from cashew nuts, you can also use pine nuts, pistachio nuts, chickpeas, pecan nuts, Brazil nuts, almonds, and walnuts.
• Instead of Oatly Creamy Oat, you can use any non-dairy milk like soy milk, almond milk, cashew milk, coconut milk, rice milk, hemp milk or flax milk.
• You can also add chopped herbs like basil and parsley.
• If you want some kick, you can add red pepper flakes.
• You can add more vegetables like green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, bell pepper, carrots, baby corn or asparagus.
• If you have no time to slice vegetables, you can use frozen mixed veggies.
