Wholefood Summer Dips

Summer dips are ideal to pop in a lidded tub and take with you to work or for picnics. If you are feeling pecking then having a range of vegetable sticks in the fridge is a great way to not eat junk and stick to healthy foods.

Sticks for dipping (aka crudite) can be made from:

• carrot

• celery

• capsicum

Also here are some dip recipes that are easy to make. You will need a food processor blender to blend them and they can either be coarse or really smooth.
