Soy

Commercial soy-based sour cream alternatives are widely available and suitable for vegans and people who are allergic to dairy products. The majority of soy-based sour cream substitutes are comparable to real sour cream in terms of calories and fat content. Soy-based sour cream, for instance, has 57 calories and 5 grams of fat per 1-ounce serving, but regular sour cream has 54 calories and 6 grams of fat.

Additionally, for those who don't consume dairy, these products can be used as a simple alternative to sour cream in cooking and baking. However, they frequently include a variety of additives that some people would want to avoid for health reasons, such as added sugars and preservatives. Fortunately, it's simple to make your own soy-based sour cream at home. Simply blend silken tofu with apple cider vinegar, lemon juice and salt.
