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’re more of a chocolate person, check out my Chocolate Brownie Dessert Hummus instead.

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.

How to prepare your healthy fruit dip

Well it couldn’t get much easier, really! Just add all the ingredients to a food processor. Process until combined and smooth. Then serve!

This is a great healthy recipe for dinner parties or bringing to a pot luck. It’s quick and easy to make, and everyone will enjoy!

Much love
