    Soy is one of our favorite proteins! It’s affordable, sustainable, and incredibly versatile! And here's a fun fact for you: soybeans are the second largest crop grown on U.S. soil! Incredible, right? Our farmers continue to work hard each and every day to ensure our grocery shelves are stocked with sustainable foods, like soy, all year round. They employ sustainable practices such as crop rotation, reduced tillage, and water and nutrient management to provide a quality, sustainable product. Stephen and I recently took the pledge to support U.S. farmers and hope that you’ll do the same! Simply click here to join us in support!

    Recipe Notes

    Edamame - We recommend opting for shelled edamame (removed from the pods) as a big time saver. The small, translucent shells that directly surround the edamame beans will blend perfectly, so there is no need to remove those.

    Avocado - Ripe avocado is recommended for an extra creamy, fluffy dip. If you prefer, you can sub in 2-3 tablespoon of tahini for a more traditional taste and feel.

    Garlic & Ginger - Fresh garlic and ginger greatly enhances this dip. If you want a milder flavor or don't have fresh on hand, dried versions work in a pinch. If using dried, we recommend increasing your citrus to add enough punch of flavor.

    Umami - The dip gets it's "umami", aka, savory flavor, from toasted sesame oil. If you don't love sesame oil or don't have any on hand, you can omit altogether, or sub with ½ teaspoon soy sauce for that savory touch.
