The Reduced-Guilt Snack You’ve Been Waiting For!
Cheese Louise! I never say no to good chips and dip. Pair delicious chips, such as Kibo Food’s lentil chips, with my vegan cheese dip for a crowd pleasing snack. Perfect for Super Bowl Sunday!
The great thing about this dip is that it will trick the pickiest of eaters into thinking they are eating a true cheese dip, such as Velveeta. The creamy texture is SO similar. Get the satisfaction of a good queso without the heaviness of dairy and the unnecessary sodium. You’re going to love it!

Shoutout to Kibo Foods
I was so happy to partner with Kibo Foods in getting the word out about their delicious lentil chips. The chips are so light and have the perfect crunch! The gluten-free chips are almost 40% less fat than regular potato chips and are also GMO-free and vegan. Kibo’s product is protein rich and truly filling. The brand is fully committed to providing nutritious foods with flavors that can’t be beat. I am OBSESSED with the Maui Onion flavor.
Wait – You’re Not Vegan
Totally will admit that I am not vegan – I’m also not 100% plant based. I love cheese and all things dairy, but dairy doesn’t always love me.
The desire to have a delicious, cheesy dip that didn’t leave me bloated or filled with calorie-guilt motivated me to experiment with vegan alternatives. I figured that, since I was removing dairy, I should remove other allergens as well. Therefore, this dip is gluten free and nut free.
