Edamame Hummus {GF, Low Cal}

Edamame Hummus made with 4 ingredients. A simple, high protein snack made in a blender with Greek yogurt and fresh herbs. A healthy, gluten free protein packed snack for any day of the week! Gluten Free + Low Calorie 

So I have a slight obsession when it comes to dipping. That action of dipping veggies into a dip preoccupies me and not to mention, it wards off the afternoon munchies big time!

I'm telling ya, drop the afternoon treats and get your dipping fingers ready. You'll feel a MILLION xxx better eating something healthier. Pinky swear!

Edamame Hummus

Made with just 4 simple ingredients - Greek yogurt, cilantro, edamame and olive oil - this creamy dip is high protein, low in calories and bursting with flavor!

BUT. This Edamame Hummus can be used for so very much more than dipping. I lather it on homemade pizzas, sandwiches, salads and even baked it on chicken as a marinade <- seriously the best!

How to Make Edamame Hummus

Toss it in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth and it's done. That's the beauty of this easy recipe! Only 2 minutes to make it!

This dip recipe is thicker than traditional hummus made with chickpeas. Depending on the brand of Greek yogurt you use and how thick you like yours, you may or may not need to add more olive oil to yours.

It's a very forgiving recipe. Test what works best for you and even add more herbs and spices too (dried or fresh both work!). One herb I do not recommend omitting is the cilantro. It gives it the BEST, tangy flavor!

Make sure you use shelled edamame for this recipe. You can find it in the frozen food sections of most stores.

Now get ready to dip all the veggies into this high protein snack! It's a great option for switching up your nutrition and easily adding more protein into your diet to bust cravings.
