Bold ingredients like jalapeño and roasted beets lend this dip great colour and flavour.

Vitamix love dips made from plants that you can use to dip more plants into! Beets are packed with vitamins A and C, fibre, and antioxidants, supporting heart health and reducing inflammation. Dates add natural sweetness along with fiber, potassium, and magnesium, supporting gut health. Sesame seeds provide healthy fats, plant protein, and essential minerals like calcium and iron. Chickpeas contribute additional protein, fiber, and folate, enhancing overall nutrition.

Method

Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
Run the Dips & Spreads Program or start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 45-60 seconds, using the tamper to push ingredients toward the blades.
