Being the perfect trend follower that I am, it should be no surprise that I recently bought a NutriBullet. Given that I have a hand mixer, food processor, blender and two mortar and pestles, it was warranted the the fiancé eye rolled at my purchase. Lucky for me, I figured out a way for the NutriBullet to be mutually beneficial. And welcome…. dip.

Once you start making your own dips it’s hard to go back to the packet stuff. Insanely easy, cheap and such a great way to boost your veg intake. Get onto it!
