Protein Packed Creamy Hemp and Nooch Dressing or Dip

We have been having a real heat wave on the Island lately… and I am certainly not complaining about it… but we are eating a bit differently because of it.  I am not the least bit interested in heating up the kitchen by turning on the oven or the stove top to make lunch.  So, it is all about salads and dressings and dips for fresh veggies at my house these days.  This Protein Packed Creamy Hemp and Nooch Dressing, which can also be used as a dip, is the perfect lunch time condiment.

It is high in protein, low in fat, and it is tasty… also very easy to whip up quickly.  And it could easily be enjoyed on zoodles, too.  I happen to love this Organic Hemp Protein Powder by North Coast Naturals… it mixes readily and doesn’t alter the flavor of the other ingredients in the recipe…. it just provides a great nutritional punch.  And you all know I am a big nutritional yeast, or nooch, fan too.
