I love finding new ways to make snack time nutritious and exciting at the same time. This edamame hummus recipe is one that incorporates some of my favorite flavors, plus it’s high in fiber and protein.
For this recipe, I’ve teamed up with Bitsy’s Brainfood to create a fun snack you and your family will love. My kids especially like to pair this dip with the Cheddar Chia Veggie Smart Crackers. Their size, shape, and texture are perfect to pick up this thick dip.
My family loves hummus; we go through more hummus in a week many do in a month! Although a little untraditional with both the ingredients and the color, this “dinosaur” dip -as I like to call it, will be a winner.
Humor me for a minute here. After three cookbooks and hundreds of recipes that have needed a name, giving recipes a pseudo name is nothing new for me. I mean, with kids, you sometimes have to have a little fun, especially in the kitchen!
Speaking of fun, I had a blast creating this video with a surprise appearance from my youngest son. He showed up to the kitchen after his brother’s karate lesson, walked in like he had a job to do, brought the stool next to the counter and said: I’m ready!
Speaking of working with a 4-year-old and making food videos, he thinks it’s snack time the whole time. Which is fine, since Bitsy’s Smart Crackers are made with organic veggies and organic cheddar -I’m just saying that it was hard to keep him from eating them all and leaving us with some to create the video! Kids are funny like that.
As you know, around my house, healthy and fun go together, and that is also the philosophy at Bitsy’s. The edamame hummus recipe goes great with their crackers, and it’s also a fun recipe to make with your kids!
It’s super easy since a food processor does all the work! You toss in all the ingredients and hit the start button. And that is it! Scoop out the dip into your serving bowl and add some of Bitsy’s Brainfood Cheddar Chia Veggie Smart Crackers on the side.
You can also make this dip ahead of time and refrigerate it up to 3 days. The thick consistency makes it very portable snack too!

Delicious! I always keep edamames in my freezer!
Humus and guacamole!
We don’t normally have a dip but when we do, it’s usually greek yogurt or hummus!
Our favorite dip with bitsy’s brainfood is not as healthy as this one! We love wild bear sausage (killed by dad- most organic you can get!), tomatoes, and cream cheese warmed up together for dip 🙂
Our go to dip lately has been Greek yogurt + peanut butter!

Cream cheese and cucumber/tomatoes/olives/mushrooms/carrot/celery
Our favorite dip for crackers is either guacamole or hummus
Our go-to dip is the classic one pint sour cream plus one packet dried onion soup mix stirred together then refrigerated for an hour before eating. A health nightmare but only used at Thanksgiving and Christmas so it probably won’t do us in. This edamame dip looks a winner. Cannot wait to try it this weekend at a picnic at the Hill Cumorah Pageant! Thanks for creating and sharing it with us.
We do a lot of cottage cheese in our house!
My boys love love hummus, but they are finding that guacamole is pretty yummy, too!
Trying the edamame recipe today! We also love dipping crackers in our homemade 4 nut butter (made of peanuts, cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts- yum)!!
Hummus is always a favorite, and I love making a simple dip with plain Greek yogurt, some lemon zest and juice, salt and pepper – I set a bit aside for myself and horseradish to it (my kiddos think its too spicy, but yummmm!).
Just plain or with pimento cheese! Yum!
We like roasted red pepper hummus with crackers!

We found these crackers at Target recently and just LOVE them! I love hummus, spinach artichoke dip and Kerrygold’s Dubliner spreadable cheese on crackers.

Fresh chunky garlicy guacamole with these crackers!
I love these crackers with Cucumber dip and plain boring peanut butter 🙂 I just got some new PB with bananas and some with coconut I’m excited to try as well
★★★★★
For an easy dip I like to grab a handful of fresh herbs from the garden- usually parsley and dill- then chop then and mix them into a bowl of Greek yogurt. Sprinkle in some garlic powder, S&P and that’s it! It’s even better after it sits for an hour. Great with Bitsy’s crackers.
★★★★★

Cant wait to try this hummus recipe! My son loves his “dip dip”(hummus), especially the Carrot hummus. I will have to try the Cheddar Chia Veggie ones next! We also love the ABC Sweet Potato cookies 🙂

I am definitely going to try the dip recipe too.
Hummus and guacamole, of course. Or just on their own. My 4year old and I can go through a box in one sitting!
★★★★
I like to make my own hummus – I used the very simple recipe on the Vitamix site (using sesame seeds instead of tahini – one less thing to store in the fridge) and after making it a few times I played around with and found that I could replace one can of the chickpeas with a can of artichokes! More veggies!
Fresh guacamole is my favorite dip with any crackers! My kids prefer hummus though.
★★★★★
I love crackers with black bean salsa dip!
Can’t wait to try this recipe and the crackers. I’ve been looking for a healthy alternative to cheezits that my kids ask for!

We love homemade olive tapenade, guacamole and bean dip! Yum!
I would pair Bitsy’s Maple Carrot crisp crackers with cream cheese whipped with some homemade lemon curd or homemade raspberry puree for a sweeter snack or dessert. My kids love my homemade cream cheese whips with their vibrant colors! If I’m feeling fancy, I drizzle in the lemon curd or raspberry puree to create an exciting swirled whipped cream cheese! We have been away from the US for a few years and will be visiting this summer — Target is definitely on my list of places to shop at! Thanks for the opportunity and can’t wait to visit a Target and buy more Bitsy’s products!
I love grapes with cheese crackers!
hot pepper cheese & salami
Hummus is the dipping fav, but the chick pea kind. I will try this even though I cannot stand edamame on its own….
We usually just dip in salsa, so I can’t wait to try this! Looks so yummy and easy to make.
We haven’t tried these crackers yet, but can’t wait to do so. We love pairing crackers with hummus, babaganouj, or peanut butter!
Great recipe! Thank you for sharing. Honestly… our favorite dip for the crackers is just a plain old tried and true peanut butter and honey mix or peanut butter and jelly mix depending on the cracker. my son is autistic and is very particular so we really kinda get to stick to the familiar dips. i do love that i buy healthy crackers!!! 🙂
Tzatziki dip with cherry tomatoes and the cheddar chia smart crackers or roasted eggplant Baba ghanoush.

I love having hummus with crackers or pretzels. Sabra is my favorite brand!! I’ve never seen this brand in stores so I usually buy saltine crackers, Ritz or rold gold pretzels. I also have a tiny obsession over blue tortilla chips and garlic hummus.
