Since I love this recipe so much, we decided that we should make a recipe video for you. I've been slacking on the videos lately but it's not as easy to find time to film these days as it was before Vienna. The plan was to film this video while Vienna was sleeping. However, that didn't work out because she took a shorter nap than usual. So this is why there is a warning at the beginning of my video that you may hear baby screams, haha! It's just the reality now, Vienna is always with us so she should might become a regular in my videos. :) 
Here's the recipe video and the recipe ingredients and instructions are below. Remember, I warned you! This video contains baby content. lol.

Great dip. Love beets and always looking for something new to try with beets. Vienna is very entertaining as well.
ReplyThanks, Dawn! So glad you enjoy the recipe and Vienna's charm :) LOL Heather- Joyous Health Team
Tried this recipe yesterday but used half cashews and half almonds and it was incredible! I am not a huge fan of beets but this dip is amazing! Highly recommend! Thanks for the great vegan recipe Joy!
ReplySo glad you liked it, Marta! Thanks for sharing :) Heather- Joyous Health team
LOOOOVED your Beet Dip recipe! Having Vienna as your audience and foodie judge was superb! Am going to a wedding shower and had to bring a recipe for hot d'oeuvres/dips so this recipe is perfect! Yay! Love always.
ReplyLOOOOVED your Beet Dip recipe. Having Vienna as your taster and foodie judge was superb! I am going to a wedding shower and needed an hors d'oeuvres/dip recipe and this one is perfect! Thanks so much.
Hi, Can't wait to try this, just wondering, are you able to freeze this dip? Just not sure i'd east the whole lot in 1 week. Thanks, Clare
ReplyHey Clare! You could try freezing it, but it may change the consistency a bit. I say go for it or even cut the recipe in half to try it out. I hope you love it :) Heather- Joyous Health team
Just stumbled upon this light and cheerful video, and how uber lovable was Baby Vienna at nine months?! Can't wait to get some beets and cashews and try this dip!
ReplyHey Helen, Aw, too sweet of you! :) She was quite the most lovable babe (and still is!) Let us know what you think of the dip when you have a chance to try it! Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Do you know about calories for this recipe?
ReplyHey Dona, We're not big on numbers around here :) We prefer to view food from a qualitative standpoint for the nourishment it provides. Hope that helps! Rachel - Joyous Health Team
This a very tasty, healthy and filling dip! It's fatty so it's easy to overeat it. Cashew also make the dip pricy. I will try to find a healthy filler for this dip (chickpeas, maybe...) so it was cheaper and less calotype dense so I could eat a LOT of it:)
ReplyHey Elena, All calories actually aren't created equally. Cashews, although are higher in calories than other foods, are rich in healthy fats and protein which means it will actually fill you up and prevent you from overeating :) Chickpeas would also be a great option, however we haven't tried it in this recipe so we wouldn't be able to guarantee results. But if you happen to try it, let us know how it turns out! Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Hi there! Did the beets stain your blender/food processor? Thanks!
ReplyHey Whitney, Nope! Your food processor should be fine :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Hi Joy: wondering if you measured the amount of beets? I have 4 medium juicing beets, one big mamma beet and am not sure how many to use. I’ll try to go by consistency as I start blitzing it unless I hear back. It sounds delish. I’m hosting a baby shower and making this, among other recipes, and another recipe for a vegan cheese ball. I thought pink hummus would be great for a baby girl shower.
ReplyI'm not sure what you mean by "juicing beets" but I would recommend using your 3 medium beets. Check the consistency once you've blended it a bit, give it a taste test and see. But to be safe, I would suggest roasting all 4 beets so you have the option to add more if you want. Don't worry though, you can't really mess up this recipe. Enjoy!
Thanks. All the health food stores I use (Nature’s Emporium and Ambrosia in Ontario) sell juicing beets. I assume they are not pretty and therefore used for juicing just as they and Mamma Earth Organics sell juicing carrots. Thanks. I’ll make it work.
Awesome! Let us know what you think if you end up trying it :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
I made it on Saturday for my daughter’s baby shower on Sunday and it was a hit! Everyone stood around it eating it with crackers and veggies. Thank you. Looked so good for a baby girl shower being pink and all....Making sexy maca balls today for a talk she is giving to her patients tonight!
ReplyHey Kelly! That's so awesome! Happy to hear it was such a hit (and it got people eating more veggies – woohooo!) You will love the Sexy Maca Balls :) Rachel - Joyous Health Team
Hi Joy How do I roast the beets. As it seems from your video they are in a pot covered with a bit of water ? Isn’t that more steaming them or no? And I hope I can use a blender as I don’t have a processor tnx
ReplyOmg ! Silly me. It’s right in the directions. Nvmd :) Totally jumped over that. Lol
Glad you caught it!
Just finished making it. I don’t even like beets and it’s actually tasty 😋 Do you store in fridge ? And besides cucs what other veggies go well with this ?
ReplyAny cut-up veggies will be nice to enjoy with this dip!
Looks delicious. Just wondering if I could use canned beets (already peeled) as opposed to the fresh ones? Thank you
ReplyYes you could, do you mean like pickled beets? I don't think I've ever seen canned beets.
