Plant-Based Recipe: White Bean and Green Dip

There's something to be said for having simple, healthy foods at the ready.

It eliminates the guess work, and reduces temptation for your old standbys.

And that goes for snacking just as much as a big meal.

This easy, protein-packed green dip is a perfect last-minute treat. Dip crackers or veggies, or spread the creamy sauce onto a sandwich for a boost of flavor and nutrients.

Here's the recipe:

• 1/2 cup or more of water or unflavored/unsweetened plant milk (depending on how thick or runny you want it)

DIRECTIONS

• Blend all ingredients until smooth (in your blender or food processor)

• Dip with your fave crackers, spread, or thin it out a bit more with veggie stalk and use as a pasta sauce!
