Healthy and easy black bean dip that takes only 15 minutes to whip up. Perfect for parties, game day or Mexican night. Just serve with veggies or tortilla chips!
This black bean dip was created for a Super Bowl party. I’m personally not that invested in the game but I love the snacks, the half-time show and the commercials. And the people, obviously. Hanging with friends is fun no matter what the occasion.
In terms of game day snacks, I’m all about the dips. Guacamole is my #1. If you agree, I highly recommend checking out my healthy guacamole recipe because it’s delicious. But if you’re in the mood for something with a little protein and spiced-up flavor, this black bean dip is where it’s at.
Are Black Beans Healthy?
Yes! Black beans are high in protein and fiber which make them a great addition to any recipe! I love that they’re the base of this dip because they’ll actually fill you up and keep you satisfied instead leaving you with empty calories. If you’re on a weight loss journey, this black bean dip is the perfect snack to keep your health goals on track. This dip is low in calories (less than 70 calories for 1/4 cup) and almost no fat or sugar.
