Cream Cheese & Pomegranate Logs
Ingredients
- 2 sticks Celery
- 8 tsp Cream Cheese
- 40 Pomegranate Seeds
Instructions
- Clean and trim the celery sticks and cut into 4 or 5 even pieces.
- Carefully fill the celery with cream cheese using a teaspoon.
- Top with pomegranate seeds.
Notes
- Aim to buy organic cream cheese or a brand that does not use carrageenan as an ingredient as this is an emulsifier known to promote gut inflammation.
- Swaps: Swap cream cheese for hummus, chicken liver pate or cashew/almond nut cheese
- Store in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 3 days
