Super Bowl Superseed Spinach Dip


For all the Super Bowl Spectators this weekend, munching away on your Super Spread of food here's a dip you may want to try.

I was inspired by the good people at NOW Foods with their amazing product Superseeds to create a 
Super Bowl Superseed Spinach Dip

The average store-bought container of Spinach Dip has a ton of saturated and trans fats, preservatives, artificial colors, flavors and sodium. I also find that many recipes call for frozen spinach, onion soup mixes (MSG) and heavy dairy products.

Impress your guests with this fresh, easy and healthy recipe:



1. In a Food Processor add: 
-3 Tbsp SUPERSEEDS
-1 1/3 cups Raw Cashews
-1/4 cup Nutritional Yeast (get at a bulk store)
-1 tbsp Brown Rice Syrup or Raw Honey 
-1/2 cup Purified Water
-2 Tbsp Organic Greek Yogurt (omit if want to make Vegan)
-1/4 tsp salt 

2. Blend until creamy and sticky















 
3. In a pan saute: 
-2 tbsp Cold Pressed Olive Oil 
-1 large White Onion
-2 cloves of Minced Garlic
-1 tsp Fennel Seeds
-1 tsp Dried Basil
-5 cups of Fresh Spinach 
-1/2 tsp Unrefined Sea Salt
-1/2 tsp Pepper
*add pinch of cayenne pepper if you want some heat

4. Saute until Spinach is covered with mixture and slightly wilted 




5. Add to Food Processor and blend until creamy








6. Serve with Vegetable Crudite, Brown Rice Crackers, Baked Flax Chips or any healthy crunch alternative. ENJOY!
