Edamame Protein Spread
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
I would like to share with you an absolutely delicious and healthy recipe that my guests at my March 15 boot camp (Scotts Valley, CA) loved. I have been getting requests for the recipe from some of them so I thought I would just post it here.
This is such an easy spread to make so here it is:
- 2 cups of edamame beans
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2” section of fresh ginger
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- ¼ cup of water
Blend everything together into a paste. Depending on how thick you want it you may need to add a little more water.
If you want to make it a little spicy, add some cayenne pepper or fresh chillies. You can get edamame beans in most grocery stores (under $4 at Costco for a large container).
You can enjoy this spread on whole wheat crackers, or with fresh fruit for a nutritious snack or light meal.
Hope you enjoy it.
To Your Longevity and Abundant Living!
