So, continuing with our carrot fun…when we made the carrot garden sensory bin, I made a little snack to go along with it. I had these super cute silicone flower pots that I was DYING to use! I’ve seen something similar to this with hummus in a plastic plant pot. But, I’m NOT a hummus fan – yeah me & the chickpea – we’re not friends – eew. When we did this it was during the weekend, so I wanted to make a snack for us all to enjoy (hummus free ;). I also wanted to replicate dirt in a more realistic way (a lot darker than the sand color of hummus), and in a healthy way.
Enter black bean dip!
A snack for us all to eat – CHECK!
Healthy – CHECK!
Yummy – CHECK CHECK!
A fun and healthy approach to the everyday standard of carrots and dip, using a non-traditional and yummy black bean dip.
Ingredients
Instructions
