Snickerdoodle Cookie Dough Dip

I recently made some healthy chocolate chip cookie dough dip.  It was a big success!! I took it to my parent's on Easter and had them guess what was in it.  They were so surprised to hear that there was an entire can of chick peas and protein powder in it.  Sneaky sneaky...
So, I decided to make some more cookie dough dip.  Only this time I decided to try some snickerdoodle cookie dip.  I LOVE cinnamon! Maybe even more than chocolate, so I knew this was gonna be good :)
Love when I am right! It turned out awesome!! Super crazy healthy of course...You can eat the whole bowl with absolutely no guilt! In fact, you will doing your body some good with all the protein in this dip. 

You will need...
Chickpeas/garbanzo, cinnamon protein powder, canned pumpkin, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and sweetener of choice.
*You can use any white bean!*
*You can sub vanilla protein powder and add extra cinnamon*

First, puree your beans til smooth. You will need to add some liquid to help them blend.  I just used water. 
Nice and creamy.  If you wanted, you could add some spices and eat this as hummus!! Snickerdoodle cookie dip sounds like more fun to me though...
Stir in the rest of your ingredients.
Super duper easy right?!

Mix it all up and you are done! I would stick it in the fridge for a little (if you can wait!) It is much better cold.  
I topped mine with a little of that cinnamon/sweetener mixture.  Yum!

It is great with pretzels, animal crackers, fruit, or just a spoon!
Like I said, you can eat the whole bowl!! Only 240 calories!! Plus close to 30 grams of protein :) I will eat this for lunch along with some apple slices for dipping. 

Poor little guy didn't stand a chance once he was covered in cookie dough dip...
So sad, and delicious!!

    Secretly Healthy Cookie Dough Dip

    Need something to take to that party next weekend?! Want something sweet and yummy, but healthy too?! Would you like to eat an entire bowl of cookie dough and not feel guilty?! I have the solution!!
    Healthy cookie dough dip!! You could never guess there is 53 grams of protein and only 19 grams of fat in here! And don't be fooled by the picture, that is one large bowl of cookie dough!

    You may be surprised by some of the ingredients...
    MTS Vanilla whey, chickpeas/garbanzo, PB2, sugar free syrup, vanilla, sweetener, and chocolate chips.
    *You could use any peanut butter or nut butter*
    *Instead of syrup you could use honey or agave*

    Buy MTS Vanilla whey here
    Use code KH to save 30% on all MTS products!

    You will want to drain and rinse your beans well.  Then add then a food processor or blender along with the syrup and vanilla.
    You will probably need to add a little liquid to get it to blend smoothly.  I just added some water, but you could add more syrup or milk if you like.

    Looks good already!! You could just eat it like this!
    We are going to make it way more fun though :)

     Add everything else to the bowl except for the chocolate chips.
    After blending the beans on high speed, they usually get a little warm and we don't want our chocolate to melt! Once it's all mixed, stick in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes just to get it chilled.

    Now you can add the chocolate chips!! Add as little or as much as you want.  Honestly, you could even leave them out and have peanut butter cookie dough.  I wanted to make this batch chocolate chip cookie dough though.
    I knew I would be sharing it with my chocolate loving parents, so I added a little extra chocolate :) 

    What to serve it with you ask??
    Oh anything really...I chose apple slices, pretzels, and animal crackers! You could do any fruit, crackers, or just a spoon!

     That is a lot of cookie dough dip! The whole bowl is only 625 calories and there is plenty to share.
    If you did want to eat it all yourself, you can do so without any guilt! It actually makes a pretty good lunch! 

    Especially with the apple slices.  That is one good meal if you ask me!
    I bet you would never guess there is an entire can of beans in there.

    Lion head dunked in cookie dough! So fun!
    And delicious!

    Pretzels are amazing too...
    It's that perfect salty and sweet combo.
