A NUT-ritious After School Snack

Every day after school, they come home so hungry they could eat their own arms. A super healthy and yummy snack is raw vegetables with a macadamia-cashew "cream cheese" dip. Use whatever vegetables your family likes (or what you have in the fridge). This a favorite and always ends with empty plates. This is super easy to make ahead and will stay good in the refrigerator for at least a week. I learned this from my yoga teachers, so enjoy and namaste!

Ingredients:
1 Cup Raw Macadamia Nuts
1 Cup Raw Cashews
1/2 Cup Fresh Lemon Juice
1 Clove Garlic
1 tsp. Celtic Sea Salt
1/2-3/4 Cup Water

Directions:
Put all ingredients except water in a blender (I adore my Vitamix). Slowly add water to desired consistency.

*Add fresh basil, rosemary, parsley, or chives for extra flavor if that appeals to you.

The Crowd's Response: "Is there any more? Can we have this tomorrow too?"
