High Protein Edamame Dip
- 10 min
- Serves 4
- 9 ingredients
5 minutes to prep, 5 to cook. A quick, high‑protein edamame dip that feels like a light mousse thanks to cottage cheese and a surprise ice‑cube trick. Bright lemon, garlic, a hint of chili, and fresh mint give it a fresh, savory kick, making it perfect for a balanced lunch or snack on busy days.

Method
Boil the frozen edamame beans for about 3 minutes, then transfer them to cold water for 30 seconds and drain.
Place the cooled edamame, cottage cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, chili flakes, and the ice cube into a blender.
Add mint leaves to the food processor (as seen in the video).
Blend until the mixture is smooth and silky, adding more ice or water if needed to reach a mousse-like consistency.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, sprinkle with seed mix for crunch, and serve with rice cakes, crackers, or raw vegetables.
Tips while you cook
- Shock edamame after boiling
- Transfer boiled edamame to cold water for 30 seconds before draining to preserve texture.

- Blend the ice cube with the other ingredients; add more ice or water if needed to reach a silky consistency.
- Blend evenly
- Stop the blender and scrape the sides.
- Add seed mix just before serving
- Sprinkle the seed mix on the dip right before serving.
