It can be tough to find healthy foods at parties or get-togethers, especially when they’re for a game day or big event like the Super Bowl. Maybe you’ll find some wings if you’re lucky, but most of the time, it’s chips, dip, beer, pizza, burgers, and more.
So when you need something on the table that tastes delicious and won’t ruin your diet, you need to give this sweet potato bean dip a try!
Mixing together sweet potatoes, white beans, and Parmesan cheese may sound strange at first, but believe me, it’s really good. It’s such a crowd-pleaser, no one ever realizes that it’s actually good for them.
I love making this dip because it’s low in cholesterol, a good source of manganese and vitamin A, super tasty, and only takes minutes to make! What’s not to love?
