Ingredients

2 large cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 shallot, finely chopped
½ cup Califia Protein Oat Milk
3 cups thawed green peas

1/2 large avocado
1 large zucchini, peeled or unpeeled, chopped
1 large tomatillo
1/2 large jalapeno, discarding the seeds
Very large handful of fresh cilantro leaves
3-4 fresh mint leaves
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon fresh black pepper

Directions
01
To a small saucepan, add your garlic, shallots, and one tablespoon of water. Bring to a light simmer.
02
You do not want the garlic or the onion to brown, you simply want to help remove any bold flavors that are sometimes hard to digest when raw.
03
Once your onions and garlic are translucent, around 2 minutes of cooking, you can add all your ingredients to a high-speed blender and blend till smooth. This may take up to 1-2 minutes.
04
Once blended, transfer to bowls and top with some olive oil, fresh herbs, and more pepper!
