¾ cup cashews
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 ½ cups chickpeas
1 clove of garlic - minced
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp flax oil
½ tsp sea salt
6 tbsp water (to thin the dip as desired)
Put the cashews, lemon juice and puree them in the blender.
Add remaining ingredients and add the water as desired to thin the dip.
Season to taste with additional salt, or lemon juice.
I also like to add in roasted red peppers which makes the dip a nice red colour.
Next to squats, lunges are the next best thing for your butt and thighs. This is also a compound movement so, like squats, when you do them you get more bang for your buck.
Form Pointers:
Stand in a split stance with one leg forward and one leg back, holding weights if desire.
Slowly bend the knees, lowering into a lunge while keeping the front knee and back knee at
90 degree angles.
Keeping the weight in your heels, push back up to starting position. Focus you weight on the front foot.
Key points:
Avoid locking the knees at the top of the movement
Keep your front knee behind the toe as you lunge (you should be able to look down and see your toe)
Keep your abs engaged and the torso upright
Do this exercise 2-3 times per week for 1-3 sets of 8-16 reps.
