  1. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend for 20 seconds.

  2. Scrape down sides and blend again for another 20 seconds until a well combined spread forms.

Recipe Notes

When shopping for ingredients, I try and stick to the 'Clean 15 and the Dirty Dozen' rule when it comes to buying organic fruits and vegetables. I have listed all ingredients simply by name, and have left off words such as "organic", "grass fed", "free-run" etc. I encourage you to do your own research and consume what works best for you.
