Edamame Dip

You’ve been trying to be good but it’s not always easy. Those mid-day cravings are the worst and usually afternoon snacks will kill your diet plan.

Well you’re not alone, that’s what was happening to me. I would do so well early in the day and then…. WHAM! –  the cheese and crackers would come out. Ouch!

That’s when I realized I needed to find some healthy snack recipes that were just as satisfying as the bad stuff. This edamame dip was the perfect answer to combat my craving weakness.

Edamame Dip

Who doesn’t love edamame? You can snack on this low calorie goodie for hours!

I think what I love about it the most, is its versatility. You can swap seasonings out to give this dip a completely different taste and depth of flavor makeover. Certain parts of the recipe can be altered to suit your mood or occasion.

Here’s a few more healthy, guilt-free snacks to try:

  • High Protein Trail Mix
  • Kale Chips
  • Lightly Curried Vegetable Wraps
  • Black Bean Mango Salsa with Crispy Tortilla Chips
Edamame Dip

Let me give you an example.

Here are 4 additional swaps you can make to change up this fabulous dip:

  1. Lightly toast some black sesame seeds to give an extra earthy flavor – use this “how to” video for simple instructions on toasting.
  2. Add wasabi for a spicy kick – be careful a little goes a long way.
  3. Add just a pinch of fresh minced ginger for a serious flavor punch but don’t overdo it, ginger is strong and can overpower a dish. You can also use ginger powder if you’re unsure about the strength of the fresh ginger.
  4. Sub the cilantro for fresh mint and skip the miso and add mashed garbanzo beans instead for a more Mediterranean feel.
Edamame-Dip

This dip is great for veggies, pita chips or any kind of chips. Not only is it perfect for a mid-day snack but you can use this for movie night, card games or anytime you need a great dip.

Like mentioned before, you can change up some of the core flavors (but stick to healthy swaps) and have a different take on this dip every time.

I’d love to hear your feedback in the comments below for this Edamame Dip! If you have a photo, post it on my Facebook page, tag me using the hashtag #plantbasedcooking in your caption, and I won’t miss it!

      Hi Suszan, Sorry, something had to be off and sure enough. While it does have more protein than some dips, it only about 9 grams per serving which is 1/4 of the total recipe. I updated the nutrition info.
