Vegan Artichoke and Hearts of Palm Dip Recipe

So remember the other week how I said I was on a hearts of palm kick? Well that has continued. This time past salads.

That wasn’t enough for me. I wanted to come up with something more hearty. A dip seemed perfect.

MY LATEST VIDEOS

Back in my college days when no one was doing calorie counting or cared at all about nutrition my roommates and I used to love making spinach and artichoke dip.

Half a pound of cream cheese and lots of grated cheese later, it’s no surprise we were all a solid 10-15 pounds overweight, even on our best days.

Luckily, with time I’ve discovered a little secret.

Healthy nutritious cooking doesn’t have to be any less delicious than all that cheesey greasy goodness.

Nope, you actually can have your cake and eat it too.

Just need to make the necessary ingredient adjustments, and you can actually eat yummy food that you and your body feel good about.

Trust me it took a solid few years to come to this conclusion. Does everyone in college treat their body like a walking trash can or just my gals and I? Hopefully this is a period in time everyone goes through.

Now that I am past it though (well outside of those annual friend reunions where we all revert back to our 18 year old habits and behaviors), I’ve found tons of awesome recipes that I love.

This hearts of palm dip right here instead of cream cheese, mayo and cheese, is completely vegan – made creamy by pureeing lightly charred artichokes, hearts of palm, pesto, nutritional yeast and hemp seeds together.

The broiling of the veggie first, gets them that nice smoky flavor, for even more character.

The nutritional yeast adds in that creamy component, and the hemp seeds a slightly nutty one. My vegan basil Pesto ties everything in this hearts of palm dip together with the fresh herbs.

This hearts of palm dip is high in both protein and dietary fiber – coming it at over 6 grams each, per serving. Best of all it is creamy and delicious, perfect for dipping crackers, bread, veggies, you name it.

For your next grown up get together make this hearts of palm dip and I promise everyone is bound to love it.
