- 2 cups cilantro, leaves and stems (25 g), washed
- 2 cups mint, fresh (25 g), leaves, washed
- 1 lemon, extra large, juiced
- 2 green chillies, depending on the heat you fancy
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, optional, to garnish

Instructions
- In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients in the order listed.
- Blend until creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides as necessary to ensure complete mixing.
- Serve with your favourite vegetables as a healthy and satisfying snack. Best served chilled!
Notes
- If you're serving this to kids, go easy on the green chillies, or omit altogether.
- The lemon juice should stop the avocado from oxidising quickly but if the colour changes slightly on top just give it a stir.
- Make sure the avocadoes are ripe so they're extra creamy and smooth.
- You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor and blitz again until extra creamy.
- This is best served chilled.
