Product Review: Sugar Bowl Bakery Palmiers
Feel good about summer snacking with these two creamy dips from our friends at ArchetypeMe and Cricket Azima, that contain tons of fresh flavors as well as protein, fiber, and other essential nutrients! Each dip can be made in a matter of minutes, with little to no prep prior to pulverizing! Simply throw all of the ingredients into a food processor and you’re good to go. Both dips have a subtle sweetness, imparted by butternut squash and applesauce respectively, so even the pickiest family members will enjoy dunking vegetables. For an extra-healthy twist, skip the chips and serve dips with sliced apples, carrots, and yellow bell peppers.

Sweet Pea Mint Dip

1 cup applesauce
16 mint leaves
Salt, to taste
