This high protein black bean dip is perfect for a protein-rich snack that’s also dairy free and gluten free.
Benefits of black bean dip:
- High in fibre to feed beneficial gut bacteria and provide “fuel” for a healthy microbiome, healthy bowel movements and detoxification of hormones, toxins and pesticides
- High in plant based protein to support balanced blood sugar to avoid cravings and breakouts
- Rich in minerals like iron, calcium and zinc – all crucial in maintaining healthy hormone balance and fighting acne
Best ways to enjoy this recipe:
- With chips or crackers as an appetizer
- Add a scoop to tacos, burritos or Mexican-style bowls (I love it paired with shrimp tacos!)
- Use as a base spread for sandwiches or wraps
- Add a scoop to this Anti-Inflammatory Breakfast Burrito Bowl (my go-to!)

Having trouble digesting beans?
It might be a gut issue! Try working on reducing inflammation in your gut and eat slowly & mindfully prior to incorporating a small amount (1-2 tbsp) of beans daily to build your tolerance to the fiber.
I recommend sipping on my cult-fav Gut Health Tonic from The Acne Protocol for 3-6 months if food intolerances or sensitivities are showing up for you.
