This 5 Minute Vegan Beetroot Bean Dip is kid friendly and perfect for a quick, healthy snack.
A few days ago, I made up this 5 Minute Vegan Beetroot Bean Dip for the kids to snack on and it was a total hit. That's right, all 3 liked it and happily snacked away. Major win! So of course, any recipe that is super quick and has the approval of all the kiddos has to be shared as soon as possible.
We enjoyed our dip with carrots, celery and my Whole Wheat "Cheesy" Herb Chia Crackers. This is a perfect afternoon snack to hold everyone over until dinner.
Ingredients
Normally, prepping beets is a bit of a messy job. That's where beetroot powder comes in. Add just a bit of beetroot powder along with a can of creamy white beans and some seasonings to a food processor and in just a few minutes you have this super quick, flavorful dip!
- great northern or cannellini beans
- beetroot powder
- water
- olive oil
- lemon juice
- salt
- cumin
But, what is beetroot powder?
Simply put, it's beets that have been dried and ground into powder form. It can then be added to various foods and drinks making it easier for those who don't like beets to consume.
Why should you eat beets?
As for nutrition, beets and beetroot powder are full of vitamins A and C and minerals like iron, magnesium and calcium among others. Beets are may help lower blood pressure and improve liver function too. Maybe not things the little ones need to worry about at this age, but it's so important to teach them healthy eating habits early on so they may avoid some of these ailments later in life.
