When I was a child, I was a picky eater. There were so many things I didn’t like, especially plant based foods and now I’m vegan. Funny, right? So if somebody tells me that he/she couldn’t be vegan, I tell him/her that if I could go vegan, he/she can as well!
Peas were one of those foods I didn’t enjoy and now I love them so much. I haven’t tried pea puree until I was in London last month and I’m obsessed with it. I’ve developed my own recipe and is so simple and tastes so good… You guys need to give it a try!
As it’s quite thick, you can also eat it as a dip, especially if you add less water. If you love soups, add more water or even some vegetable broth to get a lighter consistency, but in that case, add the water or broth hot.
Tips:
- I’ve never made this recipe using fresh peas, but I think it should work.
- Add any healthy fat instead of the avocado.
- Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices.

Hi Emi! You’re so welcome 🙂
Hello. I am allergic to avocados and was told to try to make a pea purée as a substitute. What healthy fat do you recommend substituting the avocado for in your recipe?
Hi Adrienne! I would use coconut milk or any nut butter instead 🙂
Hi. Could you tell me what is on the pur̩e in the photo? Also, do you serve it at room temperature or warmed? I am looking forward to making this Рit looks delicious!
Hi Melinda! I added some soy yogurt, chia seeds and basil leaves 🙂 I serve it hot. Hope you like it!
I made this pea puree for dinner this evening and it was the best I have tried.
Love it. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Jessie! You’re so welcome 🙂 So glad you liked it so much!
I made this to a friends home for Easter Day with this recipe and adding a “no mayo” potatoe salad was quite a success. It just goes to show you that you don’t have to have meat or any dairy products. Thank!
Hi Frances! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂 Have a nice week!
