If you’re looking for a way to level up your meal prep while supporting your body from the inside out, try this L-Glutamine Green Goddess Dressing recipe.
It’s thick, zesty, and perfect for drizzling over bowls, dipping crunchy veggies, or massaging into kale.
Ingredients
- 1 medium avocado, pitted and scooped
- ½ cup plain Greek yoghurt
- ½ cup fresh flat-leaf parsley, stems removed
- ¼ cup fresh chives, roughly chopped
- 1 clove garlic
- Juice of 1 large Lemon (about 3 tbsp)
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 scoop (approx. 5g) Biogen L-Glutamine Powder, unflavoured
- 2–3 tbsp water
- Salt and black pepper to taste
L-Glutamine is an amino acid that acts as a primary fuel source for the cells in your gut lining, helping to maintain a healthy intestinal barrier. It’s also used heavily by muscles during intense training, making this dressing a fantastic post-workout addition to your lunch.
Instructions
- Rinse the parsley and chives and pat them dry. Roughly chop them so they blend smoothly without wrapping around your blender blades.
- In a high-speed blender or food processor, combine the avocado, Greek yoghurt, parsley, chives, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and your scoop of L-glutamine powder.
- Pulse a few times to break down the avocado, then blend on high for 30–60 seconds until the dressing is completely smooth and boasts a vibrant green colour.
- Taste the dressing and add salt and pepper as desired. If you prefer a thinner, pourable dressing for salads, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time and pulse until it reaches your preferred consistency.
