My favorite dip is:
Mix just with a spoon to a creamy consistency:
- Almond butter (ORG, raw)
- filtered water
Add and again mix smooth:
- hemp seeds
- cinnamon
- (optional: add handful of soaked pumpkin seeds)
- (optional: substitute soaked chia seeds)
- (optional: add spirulina for a green kick)
This seed/nut combo (1-2 types per dip) is simple for easy digestion. The hemp/pumpkin/chia helps to balance Omega3/Omega6 a bit. The cinnamon adds a little spice and kicks up your natural digestion.
Unfortunately, a nut/seed dip only combines really, really well with greens, cucs and celery. I like to drizzle down a cuc (no seeds) or celery ‘boat’ and enjoy.

Hi… Sounds great (Hemp Dill Dip!)…we will do it soon! Our “default” dip is our all raw
sprouted hummus. We elaborate on it as the mood and ingredients are present. Also, Garlic Tahini Dressing, substitute sunflower seeds for a variation; Royal Tahini Dip with Beets…Great look, great taste!
Your vids are a daily “electronic supplement” for us and we direct all our friends and club members to them! Thanks so much… Joe and Fran

Thanks…it is different..I will try it..but I will have to leave out the brewers yeast besides that I dont have that ingredient but my brothers family is gluten free I think that yeast has gluten in it? I want to try this for Easter.
Oh also just wanted to let you know kevin & annmarie I am using 2 other recipes that you guys have posted recently for part of easter dinner. The califlower mashed potatoes and the puddings with avacado and papaya. I think all of my family (who eat dead food mostly) will like them. Thanks again.. I appreciate everything you guys do and you two look like your having a blast..keep posting the videos they are exciting, full of energy, and funny which is something I love to do…laugh

I love <3 guacamole and hummus!
10:07 pm on April 8th, 2009
So many dips, so little time! Probably pesto (when basil’s in season), sometimes w/baby spinach added to the mix. When basil’s out of season, guacamole, but please, people, no onion! Just lime, New Mexico chile, garlic, tomato, and a little Himalayan salt.

This is the best dressing/dip I’ve ever made, I didn’t invent the name! I left the blogger’s comments as they were. It is so good! I’m bummed that I’m working late tomorrow and will miss your San Francisco appearance
CREAMY-ASS RANCH DRESSING:
This is sooo creamy and yummy for when you crave something dairy-like, i just made this today from this new raw food recipie book I bought (Jennifer Cornbleet’s ‘Raw FOod Made Easy for 1 or 2 people’). I have to say that this book is the best I’ve ever read, simple and tasty recipies and I love how after every recipie she states how long they last in the fridge – super helpful for when I double recipies to use the following days. I swear I don’t work for her, I just love this book since I live alone. Here it is:
Yield 1 cup, 4 servings
1 cup soaked raw cashews (about 2 hours soaked is enough)
3/4 cup water
2 Tbs fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp plus 1/8 tsp salt
1 Tbs minced fresh basil, or 1 tsp dried
1 Tbs minced fresh dill weed, or 1 tsp dried
Place cashews, water, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt in a blender and process until smooth and creamy. Add the basil and dill weed and pulse briefly, just to mix. Stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator, Ranch Dressing will keep for 5 days.
Variation: for Thousand Island dressing: add 1/2 chopped red bell pepper (about 1/2 cup) to the blender along with the other ingredients.
Keep shining your light bright! ^.^
