Glow Up Beet Dip

This vibrant beet hummus that tastes indulgent, but works overtime for your body is your new best beauty & workout hack. Beets are naturally rich in nitrates, which support healthy blood flow and endurance, perfect pre-workout snack, plus antioxidants like betalains that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. I fucking love the functional benefits of beets they are truly a superfood that don’t get nearly enough credit.

But then we kick it up another level: by adding 2 scoops of collagen peptides for skin-supporting amino acids to help promote elasticity, strength, and that lit-from-within glow. I mean, what’s not to love about a bright pink, skin-loving, energy-giving dip that tastes great with everything?

This dip has become an absolute staple in my fridge and my clients, for good reason, it’s a delicious, functional and absolutely beautiful way to nourish your body. And super easy to make (I LOVE easy, simple recipes)

Ingredients

(Makes approximately 3 cups)

• 2 medium beets

• 3/4 can cooked or canned chickpeas, rinsed and drained

• 1 tablespoon of extra-virgin olive oil

• 1/4 cup of tahini

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice (approximately juice from 1 large lemon)

• 2 scoops Collagen Peptides

• 2 cloves of garlic, roughly chopped or 1/2 tablespoon of garlic powder

• Generous pinch of sea salt or more to taste (your preference)

• Pinch Black Pepper

For the topping (whatever you prefer):

• Drizzle EVVO

• Chopped Walnuts, Cilantro or Sesame Seeds

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven to 400℉ (205c)
   

2. Roast the Beets
   Scrub the beets, drizzle them with oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Arrange on a baking sheet and roast for 40 to 50 minutes or until you can easily pierce them with a knife. Allow the beets to cool completely, then use your hands to gently slip off their skins. If you’d like to cut down roasting time, I chop them before cooking into cubes.

3. Chop beets ( if you haven’t already done so.)
   Add them to a food processor along with the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt/pepper. Blend. Slowly add 1/4 cup of water until the dip is very smooth.

4. Add in Collagen Peptides
   Add the scoops of collagen peptides to the mix blending well until fully dissolved. If you prefer a creamier or thinner hummus, add more water or oil.

5. Add desired toppings

6. Store in Fridge & Enjoy anytime.
   Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
