Hi Lynn, congratulations on your new Blendtec! We haven’t tried this recipe without oil and would usually suggest substituting it with another oil – (flaxseed oil, avocado oil, etc.) or butter but since you’re not eating dairy or oil and you’ve had success with leaving it out of other recipes, you should probably do just that! If you try it, let us know how it turns out!
No, but it does add additional flavor and nutrition.
It’s meant to be room temperature but can be adjusted to fit your liking! When tossed with hot noodles, it will get warmer, obviously, which is what we did. :) Hope that helps!
So this is meant to be cold?
We’re so glad you enjoyed it!
