Wellness Morning

Thanks to our Practice Manager Sheree for these dips which were a hit at our Wellness Day! These dips are super easy to whip up, and so tasty you’ll probably eat your way through half a batch before you even serve them! These dips have similar ingredients, so you don’t need an expansive pantry to create them. Great for when you’re entertaining or for school lunches, these dips are super versatile and can be served with veggie sticks, gluten-free bread or wholegrain crackers. Enjoy!
