Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip

I can’t get my 9 year old to eat my healthy snacks at all. I was so pleasantly surprised when I made this Easy Kid Friendly Chickpea Cookie Dough Dip and she couldn’t wait to dig in! She had no idea it was laden with protein-rich chickpeas. AND a bonus is that she is always asking to eat cookie dough and I never allow her to because of the eggs – there are NO eggs in this recipe!

We all know how tempting it is to reach for that bag of chips or candy bar when we’re feeling peckish. But here’s the thing: those quick-fix snacks might give us a temporary energy boost, but they’re not great for our bodies in the long run. That’s where Healthy Snacks come in! Think sliced veggies with hummus, a piece of fruit with almond butter, or a handful of trail mix. These snacks are not only delicious, but they’ll also give you sustained energy throughout the day. So why not try swapping out those not-so-healthy snacks for something more nutritious? Your body (and your taste buds) will thank you!

Even if you are a chickpea skeptic, you have to try this chickpea cookie dough dip recipe. When I made my delicious chickpea oatmeal cookies, my sister-in-law thought I was nuts. But having a grain-free and protein-rich snack made me so excited and I love being able to create and share other chickpea recipes!

This chickpea cookie dough dip is so yummy with graham crackers or animal crackers! My kids are always complaining about always having the same snacks. This is one way to give them something new while only spending mere minutes preparing it!

It definitely gets the kids excited to eat it and makes mama happy knowing they are having a healthy snack.
