Are you a lemon lover? It’s probably the only fruit aside from bananas that I enjoy every single day. I love it’s uplifting aroma and zingy flavour and use lemons in hot and cold water throughout the day and always incorporate them in sweet and savoury dishes. Considering how much of a lemon fan I am, it’s a surprise I haven’t made these sooner….

Green Goddess dip
I’m so excited to share this with you – my Green Goddess dip. If there was a bowl of self-love, this would be it.
This dip is gonna get you glowin’ girrrrl…or boy, if you’re cool enough to be reading this.
It’s my quick fix when I need a bit of a detox. I had this for a snack after breakfast today and I’ve only just remembered I need to eat dinner. It’s kept me full and energised all day! That is no mean feat. Healthy dips like this are incredibly easy to whip up and you can also use it on pasta, tortillas, burritos, sandwiches, rice cakes, baked potatoes… you get my drift. I just love having something like this in the fridge for those random savoury hunger pangs I often get in the evening.
I’ve loaded this with beautiful, powerful ingredients to help nourish and detox. First up- my favourite superfood, spirulina- packed with chlorophyll that removes toxins from the blood. It’s also loaded with iron, essential for all cell renewal in the body.
Kale actually activates detoxifying enzymes in the liver and is rich in antioxidants – hello gorgeous skin! Garlic improves circulation and boosts the immune system, which is a good job because I eat garlic every damn day. Avocado clears and nourishes the skin and is full of vitamins A, B, C, E and K- I’ll take all of them today please!
I hope you have a hot minute to make this dip. You may just be rewarded with energy, good health and the glow of a Goddess.
