Creamy Raw Broccoli Spinach Dip

This nutrient-packed spinach dip is made with broccoli, garlic, green onion, avocado, and lime. Soaked cashews and coconut milk lend a smooth creaminess, and a bit of nutritional yeast gives it that nice cheesy flavor. Each serving packs about 6 grams of protein with good doses of potassium and vitamins B and C.
