    Skinny & Spicy Buffalo Dip

    Oct 27, 2014 • Festive/Holidays, Luteal Phase, Quick & Easy, Sauces, Dressings & Dips, Sides, Snacks

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

    Skinny & Spicy Buffalo Dip that's low fat, vegan and gluten free! Perfect for game days, appetizers or snacks. Works great as a spread on a sandwich or wrap. Creamy, spicy and ready in 5 minutes. From The Glowing Fridge.

    Making your own dip is priceless. It’s fresher, cheaper and you can control what goes in it. Why buy store bought?!! I love to make homemade dips for game days, get togethers or just a lazy weekend day watching movies and snacking. This Skinny & Spicy Buffalo Dip is low-fat and ready to eat in 5 minutes. It can’t get much better than that! 

    Hummus feels like a staple in the plant based diet and while I love it, I wanted to try something a little different. So I decided to spice it up! This recipe has a hummus type consistency and is perfect for dipping. I love to serve it with celery, baby carrots, cauliflower and even pita bread or crackers. It’s also perfectly delish as a spread on a sandwich or a wrap.

    Guys just love dips. Any kind, really. Don’t they?! Especially when watching a game or something. Marty loved this and tried to fit as much dip as he could onto whatever he was eating with it. He’s such a man’s man and I love that he loves it and will try all of the vegan things I make. Most of the guys I know would make a face if they heard it was vegan and then crack some dumb joke about being vegan so the fact that he’s down to try anything makes me happy! He knows that not all vegan food is rabbit food and actually tastes pretty damn good. I knew he would love this because 1) It’s buffalo flavored and 2) It’s spicy. It’s a win-win for everyone. I was inspired by Angela of Oh She Glows too. I’ve been eyeing her recipe for this dip she featured from the No Meat Athlete for some time. Any recipe on her blog is golden, as I’m sure you know! I left out the tahini to make it low-fat and added more water for a creamier texture.

    Hope you enjoy this recipe and tag me in your pictures if you make it! On Wednesday, I’ll be sharing pictures of what we did over the weekend – we went apple picking! It was the most perfect day and probably one of the last nice weekends we will have for a while here in Chicago so we figured we better do something festive outside. I must say, there is nothing better than picking an apple off the tree and eating it right there when it’s fresh, crisp and full of life. How dreamy would it be to have an apple tree in your backyard?!

    I’ve been playing around with new logo’s if you haven’t noticed…! I wanted to personalize my logo and make it more my own. I should have the official new logo within the next couple days. What do you think?! I would love to hear your thoughts as you guys mean so much to me!!

        According to myfitnesspal’s calculator, the whole recipe is 596 calories, so around 150 if you eat 1/4 of the dip 🙂

        Hi Becca! I agree – it’s fun to spice it up sometimes and switch up the normal hummus routine 🙂

      I love hummus style dip but I’ve never tried a spicy kind before… Usually I do the roasted red pepper kind but I will definitely need to try this 😉 yummm!

        Hi Michele – me too! This was my first attempt at a spicy hummus, I love the roasted red pepper flavor as well. Hummus is so versatile, it’s heavenly! But I love the spiciness in this recipe for a change, hope you enjoy!

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

    what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy what I eat for gut health, happy hormones, healthy skin & hair, and to be a patient mama 🖤

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

- swedish meatballs & gf pasta & green beans
- my homemade tahini maple cookies (I have a reel with the recipe!!) but I’m truly addicted 🍪

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
