Another day, another dip recipe...
What can I say? I love dip.
Beans are among the healthiest foods we can eat. They have plant-based protein. And, unlike meat, they have FIBER.
Fiber helps your digestion, promoting a healthy gut and overall digestive system. It also helps lower cholesterol and control blood sugar. In general, fiber can aide in maintaining a healthy weight.
Most of us aren't eating anywhere close to the recommended daily allowance of fiber. For men, the RDA is 38 grams. For women, it's 25.
Have you ever tracked your fiber intake?
I challenge you to pay attention to how much fiber you eat for a few days.
If you're getting enough, great! Keep it up and eat more if you can. You can never eat too much fiber. And it can only help.
If you're falling short, try eating more plants. All plant foods have fiber. Foods like oats, berries, vegetables, and beans have TONS of fiber. Just a few more plant foods in your diet can increase your intake dramatically.
For example, this Vegan White Bean Dip has about 30 grams in the entire recipe. If you eat a serving of dip with some vegetables like broccoli or carrots, you could easily get 8-10 grams of fiber. Just in a snack!
Fiber doesn't have to be something disgusting. It can be delicious. Especially in this dip!
I envisioned this dip as a mix of hummus and the dips you may find at parties. It's thinner than hummus, so it's more dippable. But it has that classic hummus taste.
We get that creative mix by using traditional hummus ingredients. Instead of using chickpeas we'll use great northern beans. They are much softer than chickpeas, so they create a smooth, creamy texture for the dip.
Dip is amazing partially because it's so easy to make. There is literally one thing to do. Just throw all the ingredients in the food processor.
Making this dip is the same.
Step 1. Add all the ingredients (except the aquafaba) in the food processor. Blend, adding the aquafaba slowly, until the dip is smooth and slightly runny. Enjoy with your favorite veggies!
Thank you God for easy, healthy snacks. Thank you for the variety of the foods in Your creation. Amen.
