• gluten-free
• nut-free
• vegetarian & vegan

Ingredients:

• “Krippu”  chickpea crackers or sticks
•  100 g spinach
• 40 g pumpkin seeds
• 30 g fresh oregano or basil
• ½ avocado
• juice from ½ lemon
• 4 Tbsp oil (pumpkin, grapeseed or other, as chosen)
• Salt, pepper to taste.

Preparation:

1. Pumpkin seeds contain omega-3 fatty acids; therefore, it is better to use these seeds unroasted. Place pumpkin seeds in a blender and grind until homogenous and slightly grainy.
2. Add the remaining ingredients and blend. Add 1 − 2 tbsp oil, if too thick.
3. When you make it next time, you can increase or decrease the amount of some ingredients or add 60 g of grated hard cheese.
