Sprouts aren’t just for munching on – they’re delicious whizzed up into a dip too! I love serving this to friends and family since no one can believe how delicious AND health supportive it is! So fresh and tasty, this version came to me while I was teaching a class recently, and had the good sense to jot it down right afterwards.
Thanks to my travels, dear friends, and amazing inspiration from around the world I am able to draw on what I know and love about worldly flavours and celebrate with my senses at home. Toasting the coconut before blending will add a ton of flavour not to mention the most beautiful aroma! You can substitute the peanut butter with any nut butter you like – almond and cashew are my favourites here if you’re looking for a swap.
