    Sweet hummus fruit dip is a great choice when you’re craving a sweet, yet healthy treat. It’s tasty, with hints of maple and apple flavour, all while remaining refined sugar free.

    This delicious sweet dip is vegan and gluten free and packs a TON of protein. Let’s call this a healthy fruit dip.

    Plus, when compared to other desserts, this recipe is low in calories and fat!

    If you have picky eaters to feed, this fruit dip is a great way to encourage your children to eat more fruit. Or even adults that may need a push.

    The dip is made primarily of chickpeas, which provide a great source of protein. Don’t worry, you really don’t even taste the chickpeas! In fact, just don’t tell anyone they’re in there.

    Sweet hummus may sound a little strange, but boy am I ever glad I made some anyway! This will definitely become a go to dessert option in my house. Just gather your favourite fruits for dunking and enjoy.

      This is an awesome idea for healthier snacking. I wouldn’t have thought of chickpeas, but they make so much sense!
