Healthy, Vegan and High in Protein. For Dippin' and Snackin'. Great by itself or to dip fruit or graham crackers into. Delicious! And tastes remarkably like the real thing!
Ingredients
  • 1½ cups chickpeas (1 can, drained)
  • ¼ tsp salt (very scant)
  • ⅛ tsp baking soda- heap just a tiny
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup nut butter. Almond is my preference.
  • Soy, Rice or Almond milk. Up to ¼ cup (Start with 1 T, and add more as needed)
  • ¼ cup Xylitol *(see notes)
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips. (Use high quality for health benefits.
  • 2 to 3 T quick oats or flax meal (ground flax seed.) Can omit if you want the dip thinner.
Instructions
  1. Add all ingredients (except for chocolate chips) to a blender.
  2. Remove from blender and fold in chocolate chips. Place in fridge.
Notes
Any type sweetener will work. However Xylitol is incredibly healthy and even diabetics can eat it. It's also wonderful for your teeth and alkalizes the mouth!

Xylitol and Almond Butter can be purchased at most health food stores.

Flax seed is also INCREDIBLY nutritional. I make sure to grind some daily into my smoothies. It needs to be "ground as you go" rather than grinding ahead of time as it looses nutrients as soon as you grind it. A small inexpensive coffee grinder is perfect. See Info below.
