High protein Edamame, Avocado and Pesto dip
This 5-ingredient Edamame, Avocado and Pesto dip is all the green goodness in a bowl. Not only is it delicious but it is nutritious too - thanks to Edamame that packs 17g protein in a cup and the healthy fats from Avocado. You can up the nutrition by adding a handful of spinach and a tsp of nooch (Nutritional Yeast)... All of that should easily bring your protein intake to over 20g. I love that this is a no-cook recipe and it comes together within 10 mins by throwing a bunch of ingredients in the food processor. So, make a big batch and bring along to a picnic/ potluck with some chips & crackers.
