Hi Friends!<\/p>\n

I have a special treat for you today. Well, two treats actually. First, my good friend Meme from Living Well Kitchen<\/strong><\/span><\/a> is here to take over the blog! Second, the recipe she’s sharing is a treat for sure! Meme is a fellow RD who shares delicious recipes on her blog so if you haven’t check it out yet, be sure to head over now and add her to your reader!<\/p>\n

Hi there, Lean Green Bean readers!<\/p>\n

Despite the fact that we’ve never actually met, I feel like Lindsay is an old friend because I’ve been a long-term reader and love all her tips, recipes, Bean Bytes, etc.<\/p>\n

My self-imposed life goal as a registered dietitian\/food blogger\/human being with taste buds is to help people realize that healthy food can be really tasty and it doesn’t have to be difficult to live a healthy lifestyle. I feel like Lindsay does a really good job promoting that on the Lean Green Bean. Needless to say, I was super excited when she asked me to do a guest post on her blog!<\/p>\n

Guest posting can be one of those daunting tasks because you feel like you really need to bring your A-game. And in my opinion, desserts are always A-game.<\/p>\n

So I set out to create a few recipes based on what I had in my kitchen. Considering the amount that it rains in New Orleans and that I like to “walk” my errands, I needed to use what I had at home because you never know when you’re going to leave your house with the sun out and 5 minutes later the heavens open and you’re drenched head to toe. Not to mention that the city is below sea level so it floods in a hot minute. I’ve come home from many a grocery trips looking like a wet dog…<\/p>\n

Luckily, I’m well prepared and always have peanut butter, chickpeas, oats, and dates in my kitchen.<\/p>\n

Since I’m currently on a cookie dough dip making rampage {Sugar Cookie<\/a><\/strong><\/span> and Coconut Almond Cookie<\/a><\/strong><\/span>}, I decided I needed <\/em>to make a peanut butter version. I mean, peanut butter is one of my all-time favorite foods.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/p>\n

Y’all… not to toot my own horn, but I’ve hit a home run with this peanut butter cookie dough dip! The peanut-butter-loving, cookie-dough-dip-making freak in me is doing cartwheels as we speak. This stuff is sweet {thanks to the dates and almond & vanilla extracts} and salty {I sprinkle mine with a touch of sea or kosher salt}.<\/p>\n

Basically, it’s salty-sweet goodness in a bowl that you can feel good about serving to friends and family.<\/p>\n

[Tweet “Need a new snack? Try this Healthy PB Cookie Dough Dip from @leangrnbeanblog and @memeinge!”]<\/p>\n

Chickpeas make the base of the dip so there is no need for butter, sugar, or flour like most cookie dough dips require, and it boosts the fiber & protein content. It’s also entirely sweetened with dates, which do contain sugar but they are full of fiber and vitamins & minerals.
\nI prefer to enjoy this right from the food processor<\/del> served in a bowl with some sliced apples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>
