Give me a bag of chips and any dip in sight and I’ll call it dinner. And when said dip has good-for-you ingredients like white beans and kale, I’m all in. Let’s do this. This 10-ingredient dip is inspired by my Creamy Spinach & Kale Dip, and loosely adapted from a recipe in our upcoming print cookbook! The sauce is made with cashews, vegan cream cheese, and nutritional yeast – which adds a healthy serving of vitamin B12. Garlic adds zest, while kale adds a punch of green color, fiber, and plenty of nutrients. Lastly, white beans add even more creaminess to the dish, as well as fiber and plant-based protein. Artichokes are often overlooked in the food world, in my opinion. While preparing them whole can be a little intimidating and time consuming, canned artichoke hearts are easy to use, and they make such a delicious addition to creamy dips, salads, and pastas. Plus, they’re loaded with antioxidants and are especially high in fiber, among other benefits. I think you guys are going to LOVE this dip! It’s: Insanely creamyRichCheesyLoaded with healthy ingredientsFiber- + protein-richEasyFast& Delicious This dip would make the perfect side or appetizer to bring along to parties or when hosting. It can be made ahead of time and warmed up in the oven to save time. If you’re trying to imagine the flavor, it’s kind of like spinach and artichoke dip but better (!!) thanks to the addition of kale, white beans, and nutritional yeast. It’s so creamy and cheesy – I’m hooked! What to dip with? Great question. My first choice is always tortilla chips, but it’s also great with toasted baguette, crackers, or veggies.
