Beet dip 0sp

I am really sorry I can't remember where I found this recipe. So if you're reading this and it's your recipe please let me know!

Beet dip 0sp or Simply Filling (put into recipe builder)

For this dip to make it even easier I bought the new president's choice frozen sliced beets. I wanted them a little softer so I popped them in a bowl and microwaved them for 3 minutes (After they were already thawed).

2/4 lb of cooked beets 0sp
1/3 cup of fat free plain Greek yogurt ( I wanted it a bit creamier so I put 2 dobs extra in) 0sp
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice 0sp
1 tsp lemon zest 0sp
pinch of nutmeg 0sp
pinch of cinnamon 0sp
1/8th tsp smoked sea salt 0sp
1 clove of garlic (I just used some organic dried minced garlic)

Put all in a food processor (I used my ninja)

Enjoy with veggies or tortilla chips

Blended juices!

What do I mean by blended juices?? Well it's like juicing except I put all the fruit/veg in my Nutribullet and blend away until smooth. That way you get the juice and all the fibre and goodness :) These are definitely not sweet smoothies but they taste great in their own way.

I'll post new blends as I make them!

1. Beet, apple, lemon, kale and a cup of water Simply Filling 0pp

2. Kale cucumber smoothie: 1c kale, 1/3 avocado (2pp), 1c ice or as needed, 1/2c light coconut milk (2pp), 1/2 cucumber and 1 pear (the pear wasn't very sweet so I put a couple of drops of liquid stevia in) 4pp

Blend all in a nutribullet or blender

Next time I might add a bit of ginger :)

Corn Salad 2sp
