Chocolate hummus. Brownie dip. Whatever you would like to call it! This dip comes together in only a few minutes in a food processor and can be enjoyed so many different ways. A few favorites include fresh fruit like strawberries or bananas, pretzels, chips (the ultimate sweet and salty combination), or cookies and crackers. This dip can also be used a condiment. Spread it on toast or rice cakes. Use it as a base layer on a tortilla to make a banana roll up or a fruit quesadilla.
The bonus of this sweet tasting dip is the chickpeas that you can't even taste! They add protein to help keep you satisfied, fibre for digestion and gut health, and many other minerals (like magnesium, iron, folate) that you wouldn't normally get from a dessert food!
